Chapter 229
Joanna Haynes ate a few more mouthfuls until she could not eat anymore!
Due to her pregnancy, she did not have much of an appetite.
Seeing that she was not eating anymore, Bruce Everett asked with concern, “Why don’t you eat more?”
“1. I’m already full”
“Mommy, aren’t you going to eat this cake?” Irvin Haynes pointed at the cake and asked.
Joanna only managed to force herself to eat a small piece of the cake.
“You guys can have it Joanna said while rubbing Irvin’s head.
Tll bring it back for Lilia to eat then. She loves cakes”
“Alright, remember to brush your teeth after dinner. Otherwise, you will have to go to the dentist if you get cavities and it would hurt
“Got it, mommy!
Joanna felt a little guilty. All she wanted was for Bruce to leave quickly.
I’m a little tired now I think I’m going to sleep!”
When Bruce heard this, he did not suspect anything else. Then rest well! I’ll bring the children back first!”
“Alright! I will
“Davian, Irvin, let’s go
“Bye, mommy! The two boys waved happily at Joanna.
“Goodbye, darlings!” Joanna also waved back at her two sons!
Seeing that she still had no intention of asking him to stay, Bruce left with the children in displeasure.
Her body was so weak now and she was also pregnant so he did not dare to stay. He was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and touch her!
After Bruce and the children had left!
Joanna heaved a sigh of relief and quickly took out the phone!
It was a children’s smartwatch, the kind worn on the wrist. The screen was small and had a GPS function. It could also be
used to make calls!
Joanna pressed the call function and thought for a moment before calling Jaydon Grimm!
Beep, beep, beep!
The call went through quickly!
Jaydon quickly answered the call. “Hello?”
“Hello, Jay, it’s me!”
When he heard Joanna’s voice, Jaydon was a little excited as he asked, “Joann, are you alright? I tried calling you but why
Chapter 229
can’t I get through to you? Where are you now?”
Jaydon asked a few questions in a row. He had been worried sick for the past few days!
“I’ve been at the Reagan No. 8 Residence! Bruce Everett restricted my freedom, and my phone was confiscated by him!”
Jaydon frowned when he heard Joanna’s words. Then what should we do now? I’ll call the police right now!”
Joanna quickly stopped him. “Don’t bother calling the police. There’s no use!”
“Damn that Bruce Everett. What is that bastard going to do to you now?”
“Jay, don’t ask so much. Have you been to the factory in Mossbourne recently? Have you gone over to take a look?”
“… Oh, I haven’t gone over to take a look yet! I’ve been looking for you everywhere these past few days and haven’t had the time to go to Mossbourne!”
“Then hurry up and check on the factory there tomorrow. I won’t be able to get out of here for a while! Someone has to take care of things at the factory!”
She had used almost all her savings to build the factory in Mossbourne. As such, she was extremely anxious since it has been quite a few days since anyone checked on the factory.
“I got it. I’ll make a trip there tomorrow!”
“Thank you. A while back, I found a streamer to sell the goods and all the inventory has been cleared! Remember to ask if the money has been transferred!”
“It’s also almost the end of the year so help me organize the employees‘ annual leaves.
“Alright, I understand!”
Joanna continued to explain the other matters regarding the factory.
Now that it was the end of the year, there were many things to deal with.
Jaydon was now the second–largest shareholder of the factory! In her absence, he had to take care of things on her behalf.
“That’s good. I can rest assured now that you’re handling these!”
Mr. Roger, Mr. Paul, and the others could take care of the company in Greyport. If worse comes to worst, there was also Bruce Everett so she didn’t have to worry too much.
Instead, she was more worried about the factory in Mossbourne.
Joanna heaved a sigh of relief after she finished giving Jaydon the instructions.
Jaydon was more worried about her safety. He asked, “Then what are you going to do?”
Joanna thought for a moment before answering. I haven’t thought of a good solution yet!”
“If I leave now, Bruce Everett will definitely go crazy again!”
“Joann, I’m so worried about you! I’d better call the police!” Jaydon did not know how he could comfort Joanna!
If it were anyone else holding Joanna hostage, he would definitely be able to think of a way to save her!
But now, he was facing Bruce Everett!
There was no way he could win.
“You don’t have to worry about me. He won’t do anything to me!” Joanna comforted Jaydon instead.
Just as she was speaking, there was a knock on the bedroom door.
“Jay, someone’s coming. I’m hanging up!”
“Okay!”
Joanna was afraid someone would discover her talking on the phone so she quickly hung up.
Right after she hung up the call, there was another knock on the door!
“Please come in!”
Ms. Chain pushed the door open and walked in. “Ms. Haynes, it’s time to take your medicine!”
“Oh, okay!”
Ms. Chain prepared the medicine to help with the pregnancy and the vitamins before handing them to Joanna. She also handed Joanna a glass of water!
Joanna took the medicine and placed it in her mouth before swallowing it with a mouthful of water!
She had been quiet and cooperative for the past few days!
Hence, the maids did not monitor her as strictly as they did two days ago!
Joanna finished the medicine quickly!
Ms. Chain then cleaned up after her before leaving. “Goodnight, Ms. Haynes!”
“Goodnight!”
Joanna lay on the bed again and began to think about her next problem!
Bruce Everett told her to let go of everything and stay here until she gave birth!
However, it had only been one month into her pregnancy!
After giving birth and going through confinement, a year would have passed.
By then, many things would have happened! How could she stay here in peace?
“No, no, I can’t stay here like this! I have to think of a way to get out of here!”
Joanna thought for a long time but could not think of a good solution!
However, she could not leave this place rashly either. Given, Bruce Everett’s personality, he would definitely take revenge on her!
When that tine comes, who knows what crazy things he would do?
Thinking of this, Joanna became even more distraught!
On the other hand!
Bruce rushed back to the Everett mansion with the two boys.
In the car!
Irvin was still chattering non–stop!
Chapter 229
He was a chatterbox with a somewhat strange and outgoing personality. His personality was the exact opposite of Davian’s!
Davian was extremely against Bruce but on the other hand, Irvin had more admiration for Bruce!
“Davian, when did you give the phone to Mommy? I didn’t see you give it at all!” Irvin accidentally blurted.
“Shh!” Davian’s face fell as he quickly gestured for him to shut up.
“Oh!” Irvin immediately reacted and hurriedly covered his mouth!
When his brother told him this secret, he specifically told him that their father cannot find out.
However, he was too excited just now and forgot about it.
He hoped that his father did not hear him.
