Chapter 160
“Bruce, my mind is in a mess now. I do not want to talk about this matter now!” Joanna frowned. Her thin and haggard appearance now made people
feel heartbroken.
Bruce hugged her gently and said, “Alright! We will talk about it slowly after our daughter has recovered.”
Ingrid and Shaun had been searching for quite some time before they found Roxanne.
“Roxy! It is a critical moment now. You can’t throw a tantrum!”
“Joanna, that bitch! Now that she has three children, she has gained the upper hand!”
“At this juncture, she is waiting for you to take the initiative to break up with Bruce!”
Roxanne curled up on the couch, feeling dispirited and listless.
Initially, it should be her wedding tomorrow. However, the wedding was canceled.
She would probably be the laughingstock of the Greyport again.
When she came to think about it, she could not wait to tear Joanna apart.
Shaun could not help but sigh beside them. After giving it a thought, he pulled a long face and said, “If it really doesn’t work, I think… we should just forget about the marriage!”
Upon hearing it, Ingrid said furiously, “You make it sounds so easy, don’t you? Do you know that everyone in Greyport is waiting for Roxy to make a fool
out of herself?”
“No matter what, Roxy has to marry into the Everett family and become Mrs. Everett!” Ingrid continued.
As Ingrid spoke, she sat beside Roxanne again and shook her arms. She said, “Roxy, listen to me and pull yourself together hurriedly. At a time like this, the more you should show your magnanimity.”
She then continued, “So what if she has the children? What are you afraid of? As long as you marry Mr. Everett, you will be Mrs. Everett, his lawful wife!”
“By then, even if Joanna has three children, your status could not be shaken!” Ingrid continued to say.
Roxanne blinked her eyes with tears flowing down her cheeks. She then said, “Mom, I feel so embarrassed now…”
“Silly girl, it would be more embarrassing if you choose to break up with Mr. Everett now! Wealthy families are way different from any normal families. You have to compete with each other with patience and endurance!
“The more you could tolerate and endure, the chances of winning would be higher!
“The more you can’t withstand, the lesser things you could achieve!”
When Shaun heard about it, he interrupted and said, “Stop forcing Roxy anymore. From what I see, Mr. Everett has no intention to marry Roxy at all! Even if we for them into marriage, they would not be happy too.”
Ingrid burst into flames upon hearing what Shaun said, “Shut up! Of course, you want Roxy to break up with Mr. Everett!”
Ingrid then continued to say, “So that you could let that bitch, Joanna, patch up with Mr. Everett and marry him instead. You are so biased!”
“Since when did I being biased? It is a marriage that we are talking about now. Do you know that marriage determines a woman’s happiness for the rest
of her life?”
“I am only afraid that Roxy would not be happy after marrying into the family…” Shaun continued.
“Well, you don’t have to worry about this. No matter what, Roxy should get married first! In short, we could not let that bitch, Joanna, get away with it so,
casily!”
After hearing what Ingrid said, a trace of courage ignited in Roxanne’s heart again.
“You are right, Mother!” said Roxanne confidently.
“No matter what, we could not let Joanna get away with it easily!”
“That’s more like it! What you should do now is to make a call to Mr. Everett to show your magnanimity and tolerance.
“As long as you cling onto him and refuse to break up with him, he would not be able to patch up with Joanna easily. If you break up with him out of anger now, it will be exactly what that slut, Joanna, wants you to do now!”
Upon hearing what Ingrid said, Roxanne stood up from the couch immediately and ran upstairs.
“Roxy, why are you in a hurry?”
“I am making a call to Bruce.”
Roxanne went upstairs and calmed herself down. Then, she made a call to Bruce..
Ring! Ring! Ring!
Bruce’s phone kept vibrating non–stop.
Upon seeing that the call was from Roxanne, Bruce switched his phone to silent mode instantly.
Roxanne had called Bruce’s phone more than a dozen times consecutively. However, he refused to pick up the call. Hence, she sent him messages
instead.
“Bruce, I am sorry for being too wilful!”
“Rest assured that I am willing to wait for you. No matter what, I will wait for you forever!”
“Bruce, your children are my children too. I will treat them as my own children as well! You don’t have to worry about me now. The most important thing now is to save the child…”
Roxanne sent more than a hundred messages to Bruce at one time!
After reading all the messages, Bruce felt more headache now!
Some women were indeed troublesome and annoying. Why did she still pester him after she had broken up with him?
In the ward!
Joanna and Bruce changed into surgical gowns before visiting Lilia in the ward.
Lilia seemed to be at one’s last gasp. She was laying on the bed with a few oxygen tubes inserted into her tiny body.
Joanna’s eyes weked up as she endured her tears and said, “Lilia, are you okay? Do you feel any pain?”
Lilia opened her eyes slightly and looked at Joanna as she said in a weak voice, “Mommy…”
“Mommy and Daddy will always be with you. You will get well soon!”
“Daddy!” Lilia was a very obedient girl. She was very close to Bruce too.
Before Bruce spoke, she had already called him obediently.
Upon hearing Lilia call him “Daddy“, Bruce’s heart melted almost instantly.
Bruce’s eyes welled up as he held onto Lilia’s hands. He felt so heartbroken to see her in such a state.
He did not expect that her daughter would suffer from such a critical illness!
“Don’t worry, darling. Daddy loves you as much as Mommy. I will try my best to treat your illness!”
“Let’s work hard together to get better, okay?”
“Alright!”
Soon after…
Lilia was scheduled to undergo the surgery on coming Monday!
Based on the report, everything was a match between Bruce and Lilia. So, Bruce was suitable to become the donor.
After the surgery was scheduled, Joanna’s mind was in a mess.
“Oh my goodness! Mr. Everett and Miss Roxanne’s wedding is canceled again!”
“I knew it! I knew that Miss Joanna would not let it go so easily!”
“Look! At such a critical juncture, Miss Joanna chose to fight back! She managed to turn the tables and gained the upper hand with her three children!”
“Hey, aren’t the three children belong to Mr. Grimm? Why are they Mr. Everett’s children now?”
“In fact, they are Mr. Everett’s children in the first place. Mr. Grimm has never acknowledged that he is the father of the children!”
“Oh my gosh! Their relationship is such a mess!”
“The news where the two sisters are fighting for a husband has gone viral!”
“That’s right! This kind of dramatic and exaggerated scenes of the wealthy family seems to be repetitive!”
“Haha! No matter what, let’s see how Roxanne can be so cocky in the future! Doesn’t she always claim that she is Mrs. Everett? Well, it is so embarrassing now as if she has given herself a tight slap on her face!”
After Bruce and Roxanne’s wedding was canceled, it caused an uproar again!
All sorts of speculations and criticisms could be seen online!
On the other hand.
At the Everett mansion!
Margaret was so happy after she brought Davian and Irvin back to the Everett mansion.
With such joy, her illness seemed to have been cured instantly. She did not even need to sit in the wheelchair now.
However Davian and Irvin were still not used to the new environment, “Great–grandma, we want to go home!”
“Silly boys, this is your home in the future!”
“This is not our home!”
Margaret sighed upon hearing it, “Korbin, it is time to find someone to get their names changed!”
“How could they be called Irvin Haynes and Davian Haynes?” she continued.
Then, she instructed the butler, “Get a Geomancer to change their names!”
“Yes, Madam.”
When the two little fellows heard about it, they were so unhappy. They said, “We don’t want to change our names. This is our name, we are not changing
