Chapter 1031
However, Joanna did not want to ask about the company now.
Bruce had hired the top investment management team to manage the company’s business.
And the servants were taking good care of her daily life. She had nothing much to do each day. All she needed to do was wait for him at home and look after the children.
Of course, considering who she was now, Greyport’s socialites and trophy wives kept sending her invitations one after another.
But she was no social butterfly and didn’t like to party with the socialites and trophy wives.
Therefore, she stayed at home most of the time.
Beep!
Grace made another video call.
“Hello, Grace.”
On the other end of the video call, Grace looked depressed. “Joann…”
Joanna smiled and said, “Oh dear, what’s wrong?”
Grace remained silent. She looked like she had a lot on her mind.
“What’s wrong? Please tell me.”
Grace paused and said hoarsely, “I’ve booked a flight ticket to Melta.”
Joanna’s eyes widened when she heard that. “What? Are you crazy?”
“I can’t take it any longer. I’m going to find him myself.”
Joanna tried to talk her out of it in no time. “No! All you need to do is take care and wait at home. They’re in no man’s land now. Even if you go there, you won’t be able to find them.”
“No, I’m sure I can find him.
“Joann, can you please tell me Bruce’s number? If Darcy doesn’t answer my call, I’ll call Bruce instead.”
Joanna’s heart skipped a beat.
“Grace, calm down. This is not a joke.”
“I’m not twelve years old. I know what I’m doing, okay?”
“Does Jaydon know it?”
“Well, I’ll tell him.”
“Grace, listen to me. Melta is in a mess now. You really can’t go there.”

“I’ve talked with Bruce on the phone. They will be in no man’s land for another two weeks.
“You’ll be able to contact Darcy after they get things done there. I’ve also told Bruce to get Darcy to call you back…”
Grace smiled disappointedly and said softly, “He has called me back.”
“Oh, what did he say then?”
“Um, he said we wouldn’t work out. We are from two different worlds. And he told me to forget about him and leave him alone.”
When Joanna heard this, her heart sank. She did not know what to tell Grace for the time.
What was this Darcy thinking? She couldn’t understand why he didn’t want such a good girl like Grace.
Sure, Bruce kept his mouth shut and did not tell Joanna the truth.
So, Joanna did not know that Darcy was ill. She could do nothing but only feel anxious for Grace.
A man like Darcy, who looked big and tough and was bursting with hormones. No one could imagine he couldn’t get it up if he didn’t tell.
Sometimes, God was fair.
Most tall and powerful guys seemed good in bed, but they sucked.
On the contrary, some short and thin guys were great and gifted at having sex.
Bruce was one of the few guys who looked good in bed and was indeed good in bed. He was the God-favored one.
“Grace, wait for him to return even if he has turned you down. If you go for him
he might avoid you more than ever.”
now,
“No! I’m going to find him now. I want him to tell me in person that he doesn’t love me. As long as he says it to my face, I’ll give up,” Grace said with a pale face. “Come on! Don’t be stubborn, okay?” Joanna did not know what to say to her, and she felt troubled.
Some socialites were hopelessly romantic. They’d devoted all their time and energy to love since they didn’t need to worry about money and the stuff.
To them, love came first of all. And they could anything for love.
“So what did Jaydon say? Did he agree?”
Grace thought about it and replied calmly, “Jaydon… will agree.”
“Alright, I won’t stop you since you’ve decided to go. But we should meet up before you leave. What do you think?” Joanna tried to stall for time.
She doubted that Grace had told Jaydon.
“Okay. I’ll go to Greyport tomorrow.”

“Cool.”
After hanging up the video call, Joanna immediately dialed Jaydon’s number.
Beep!
The call went through quickly. “Hello, Joann.”
“Jay, you got a minute?”
Jaydon took a deep breath. “Oh, I’m busy with the company business now. What’s wrong? Did something happen to Patricia?”
He had been too annoyed in the past two days.
Carmel pestered him relentlessly and kept playing up to him, making him unable to get rid of her.
Joanna said anxiously, “Patricia is fine. It’s about Grace.”
“Grace? What happened to her?”
“Did she tell you she was going to Melta?”
Jaydon was stunned and asked, “What is she going to do in Melta?”
“Didn’t she tell you?” Joanna’s heart skipped a beat.
Sure enough, as she had guessed, Grace did not tell Jaydon anything.
“Well, did Grace tell you she’s in love with a guy?”
Upon hearing that, Jaydon’s eyes darkened.
“Who’s the guy?”
Joanna sighed and said emotionally, “Oh, come on! Grace is your sister. Why don’t you care about her at all?
“Haven’t you noticed that she’s been having a lot on her mind lately?”
“Uh, I’ve been so busy recently that I don’t have time for her. Who is the guy? Who does she fall for?” Jaydon felt troubled.
Joanna said word by word, “She’s in love with Bruce’s…”
Unfortunately, when Jaydon heard the first few words, he exploded before Joanna could finish her words. “What? Bruce? Did you say she’s in love with Bruce?
“What a stupid girl! I’ve warned her so many times. Why is she still so muddle-headed?
“Don’t worry, Joann. I’ll call her now.”
Joanna was stunned and was about to explain.
But Jaydon had hung up on her angrily before she could say anything.
He would never allow his sister to be in love with a married man, especially when the man was Bruce!
At the moment, he wished he could teach Grace a good lesson.

The call went through.
“Hello, Jaydon.”
Jaydon’s face darkened as he said, “Grace, where are you now?”
“Oh, I’m outside.”
“Tell me. Are you in love with someone?”
Grace was stunned and paused.
“How many times have I told you? You can fall for anyone but a married man. Why didn’t you listen?
