Chapter 12
“Mrs. Haynes, what do you think of Joanna’s relationship with Mr. Grimm?”
“Rumor has it that Joanna’s bought into Starlight Media. Is it true?”
“It’s her private business. You should ask her!” Ingrid’s face darkened, and she was in no mood for an interview! “Stealing men from other women and taking away properties from others. That kind of thing happens a lot. However, you need to see through all these. The Grimm family is a very respectable one! Will they allow a woman like that to marry their heir? Let’s wait and see!”
That, to the press, was a bombshell! As long as it was interesting enough for the public, they didn’t care at all if it was the truth or not..
Ingrid’s not gonna let Joanna steal the thunder from her own daughter.
As a matter of fact, this was exactly why Ingrid moved against Joanna six years ago! Joanna had been so excellent and eye-catching that Roxanne would never really shine with her around.
“Mrs. Haynes, when exactly will Ms. Roxanne and Mr. Everett’s wedding be held?”
“Right, about that, it’s been four years since the news of their engagement. Why hasn’t there been a wedding? Will their relationship be affected by Joanna?”
“How is that possible? Roxy and Mr. Everett have always loved each other deeply! You know, young fellows, they have to go through something first. before their relationship gets stronger! Hence, though there are people who are trying to sabotage things, it won’t work out as they expected!” Ingrid said sarcastically, not giving any more interviews.
Then her bodyguards escorted her back into the car.
Not long ago, Ingrid had already bribed several reporters and online celebrities.
If everything went well, Joanna was gonna be trending tomorrow.
She failed to ruin Joanna completely six years ago, but this time, Ingrid would make sure that Joanna would never get back on her feet again.
Inside Ingrid’s car.
Ingrid’s chest rose and fell violently due to her fury, and she kept swearing. “How could she be so lucky! She has just been kicked out of the Everett family, but the Grimm family takes her back in!”
“Mom, for the sake of your blood pressure, calm down and drink some water!” Roxanne handed over a bottle of water and looked at Ingrid, a little
scared.
Ingrid took the water from her and shot Roxanne a disappointed look. “You’re letting us down, Roxy. You’ve been Mr. Everett’s fiancee for years, and you still are! We don’t know if you’ll be able to marry into the Everett family. Why can’t you just learn from me?”
Roxanne was so upset that her eyebrows were knitted.
She wanted to marry Bruce as soon as possible.
But if the man never brought this up, it would be improper for her, a lady, to mention it at all.
Ingrid poked her daughter in the head and said, “You silly girl. You can’t even handle a single man! You see how Joanna did? She gave birth to two boys without noticing anyone. You should consider getting pregnant as well! Your wedding can’t be delayed any longer!”
Roxanne’s face turned scarlet when she heard that.
Only because she was so afraid to tell her mother that Bruce had not touched her once up until now.
All these years, she had been maintaining the image of an innocent maiden, and she kept telling Bruce that she would have sex with Bruce only after their wedding
It was meant to keep Bruce lured! After all, for men, the harder to get, the more precious it appeared to them.
But somehow, as time went by, Bruce seemed to lose all his interest in her! When Roxanne noticed that and hinted to the man that it was okay to be wild sometimes, the man actually replied that he would show his respect to her and never touch her until the wedding night.
