Chapter 115
“Brucel”
“Hurry up and cut the crap!” Bruce urged impatiently.
Bruce thought, “This is Grandma’s family heirloom. It should be for my wife, Grandma could not really give it to Roxannet”
When Roxanne heard this, she felt like she had fallen into an ice cave. Roxanne could not help but cry, “Bruce, Grandma gave this to me!”
Bruce replied coldly, “This is a gift from Grandma to my wifel” In other words, Bruce would not marry Roxanne.
BOOM!
Roxanne looked as if she had been struck by lightning. She widened her eyes and stared at Bruce.
“Bruce, what do you mean by that?”
Bruce pondered for a few seconds. Then he frowned and replied, “The literal meaning!”
Roxanne’s eyes were full of fear and disappointment. Roxanne asked in a shaking voice, “Are you saying you won’t marry me?”
Bruce remained silent without knowing what to say.
“Bruce, answer me now. You will marry me, won’t you?”
Bruce explained, “Grandma is seriously sick now, so I need you to cooperate with me, and we pretend to be a loving couple in front of Grandma.
“We can have a certificate if you want. However, you have to sign a prenuptial agreement. Also, don’t expect too much from me, especially don’t expect
me to ony have you as my woman.”
Hearing this, Roxanne felt desperate.
Bruce urged again, “Hurry up and take off the jewelry!”
Then Bruce continued, “If you want, I can buy another set for you. You can’t have this one.”
Roxanne sobbed and started crying, “Bruce…”
Bruce interrupted, “Don’t make me repeat myself!” Bruce was commanding in a cold voice.
Roxanne did not dare to disobey. All she could do was take off the jewelry and silently put them back into the box.
Bruce took the jewelry box and handed a black card, saying, “Go to a jewelry store and buy another one for yourself. You can use my card.”
Bruce was a gentleman and felt embarrassed for asking things back from a woman. Therefore, Bruce wanted to make it up to Roxanne after having his grandma’s jewelry back..
Roxanne sniffled and cried, “Bruce, don’t you love me anymore?”
Bruce frowned and said, “Don’t ask such a question again. You know the answer!”
Squeak!
The car stopped in front of the Haynes’s house.
“Here we are. Now get out of the car!”
However, Roxanne sat still after Bruce said that. Roxanne held Bruce’s arm, crying, “Bruce, what did I do to make you hate me so much now?

Chapter 115
“It must be Joanna. Before Joanna came back, we loved each other so much. Bruce, you’ve changed so much ever since Joanna came back. You don’t love me anymore…”
Bruce retracted his arm impatiently and interrupted, “I’ve said it before. Don’t involve Joanna in our matters!
“Joanna is Joanna, and you are you. You two can’t be compared!”
*Brucel”
“Hurry up and get out of the car. I still have to go back to the company for a meeting!”
Roxanne sniffled and opened the car door sadly.
Just as Roxanne had gotten out of the car, Bruce stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
Roxanne’s eyes were bloodshot. Roxanne stomped and murmured, “Bruce, you’ll regret what you’ve done to me!”
Half an hour later, Bruce arrived at the Everett Group.
Bruce subconsciously locked the car after parking it.
Just as Bruce was about to get into the elevator, he suddenly noticed the reflecting light of the front of the car. Bruce thought, “Something’s wrong. The color of the front of the car also seems strange!”
Bruce frowned and returned to the car. Then he bent down to check the front of it.
Bruce was infuriated with what he had seen.
It was obvious that Bruce’s car had been hit before. Moreover, the quality of the repair was poor. It was so bad that it ruined the hood.
Roxanne casually mentioned it to Bruce over the phone and said the car was slightly scraped.
Bruce thought it was not a big deal because Roxanne did not ask him to call the insurance company.
Then, Bruce checked the dash camera video.
Bruce found that Roxanne had been in the car with a stranger.
This stranger was the person who bumped Bruce’s car.
Roxanne and the stranger did not do anything that crossed the line in the car, but they seemed very intimate.
Bruce probably wouldn’t have looked at the dashcam for the rest of his life if Bruce did not notice the damage to his car. That was why Roxanne dared to drive Gavin around fearlessly.
After watching the dash camera video, Bruce felt a chill run down his spine and a bad feeling about this.
Bruce thought, “This man and Roxanne should not be just friends!”
“Andy!” shouted Druce.
“Yes, Mr. Everett? Is there anything I can do for you?”
“Go and check this person.”
“No problem, Mr. Everett.”
“Send all the information about this person to my email in ten minutes.”
“Got it.”

Chapter 115
Ten minutes later, Andy sent Gavin’s information to Bruce’s email.
Bruce clicked it and took a look. Bruce thought, “This person is from the same school as Roxane There is no other strange information.
“Roxanne usually meets her classmates or has parties with them. I can’t conclude that Roxanne has a special relationship with Gavin.
“Besides, in the six years we have been together, Roxanne always looks like a pure and innocent girl in front of me.
“In the past, Roxanne would have blushed for a long time if I held her hand. She would be so shy that she couldn’t open her eyes for minutes if I kissed her. Her face would turn pale, and her body would be shaking, if ! wanted to touch her..
“Roxanne told me that did not accept premarital sex.
“I don’t think such a conservative girl will cheat on me. I always respect her and never touch her because of her conservativeness.
“However, all the information indicates Roxanne is probably a two–faced woman!”
In the hospital.
Joanna had already completed the documents to check out. The doctor advised Joanna to stay for a few more days. However, Joanna decided to go home on the same day she was sent to the hospital because she was worried about her three children.
“Miss Haynes, are you sure you want to leave the hospital?”
“Yeah. I’m fine now. I have to rush to Venturas to pick up Davian and Irvin.”
Cora said worriedly, “But you’re still weak…”
Joanna interrupted and comforted, “Don’t worry! I’m okay and am not that delicate.”
Not long after Bruce left, Joanna insisted on leaving the hospital.
Today was the weekend. Joanna had to hurry to Venturas to pick up Davian and Irvin.
Joanna set off in the afternoon.
The sky was already dark by the time Joanna arrived at Venturas.
The two little fellows waited for Joanna for so long that they got anxious.
“Mommy, why are you picking us up so late today?”
Joanna replied, “I have something to do, so I came here a little late.”
“Oh!”
“Okay, let’s go home!”
The two little fellows bopped onto the boat and chattered all the way.
Greyport and Venturas were coastal cities, and Greyport was across the sea from Venturas. Therefore, the most convenient transport between these two cities was to go to a dock to take a ship.
Irvin looked at Joanna and said, “Mommy, I have something to tell you.”
Joanna looked at her son with a smile and replied, “Okay. Go ahead.”
