The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna) novel Chapter 259

Chapter 259 

Joanna took up the phone and glanced at it. She felt annoyed when she realized the call was from Shaun

Joanna thought, Dad never calls me for something good. He must call me to talk about Roxanne again.” 

Joanna did not want to answer Shaun’s call. Thus, she muted the phone and placed it aside

Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable” 

Ingrid cursed, Damn it. Joanna didn’t answer the phone!” 

Shaun said, That’s it. Joanna doesn’t pick up the phone. Stop calling her again!” 

However, Ingrid did not give up and kept calling Joanna

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz

Ingrid gave Joanna eight calls in a row. Joanna couldn’t take it anymore and finally picked it up

Hi, Dad!said Joanna

When Ingrid realized Joanna picked up the phone, her eyes lit up. Then she hurriedly gave the phone to Shaun and gave Shaun a look to urge him to answer the phone now

Shaun was angry at Ingrid. However, he frowned and took the phone

Shaun greeted, Hey, Joann!” 

What is it?Joanna’s voice was cold

Shaun paused for a moment and subconsciously glanced at Ingrid and Roxanne

Roxanne and Ingrid held their breaths and stared at Shaun with anxiety and expectation

Shaun coughed and said in a low voice, Hey, umm. Do you have time now?” 

What? Just say it!Joanna sounded extremely cold

Joanna thought, I know my dad just wants to talk about Roxanne when he calls me, even if he doesn’t say anything.” 

Shaun said, Dad wants to see you!” 

Joanna replied, Say it over the phone if you have something to say! I’m busy. I don’t have time to see you!” 

Shaun hesitated for a while and asked, Well. Have you decided to remarry Mr. Everett?” 

Joanna was stunned and did not answer Shaun’s question

Joanna thought, Deep down, I don’t want to remarry Bruce

However, Bruce has a strong desire for control. He will do anything to achieve his goal if he decides to do it

Therefore, remarriage with Bruce is not something I can control.” 

Shaun noticed Joanna’s silence and took it as a yes. Thus, Shaun said in a deep voice, What about Roxy if you remarry Mr. Everett? Have you ever thought about that

After all, you two are sisters, and Roxy is pregnant with Mr. Everett’s child. You and Roxy fight for a man and embarrass the Haynes family!” 

Chapter 259 

Joanna took a deep breath and said impatiently, Dad, save it if you’re calling to criticize me

I still have work to do. Bye.” 

Shaun panicked and begged, Wait! Joann, please don’t hang up yet. I want to talk to you about some serious matters!” 

Joanna tried to be patient and asked, What? Just say it!” 

Shaun sighed deeply. Then he said hesitantly, What do you think we should do since Mr. Everett has broken up with Roxy?” 

Dad, that’s the stupidest question I’ve ever heard. You should ask Bruce and Roxanne about it instead of me!” 

Shaun sighed again and said pitifully, You know, Roxy is upset and desperate now. She is about to break down

I feel my heart ache for Roxy.” 

Joanna couldn’t take it anymore. She said in a colder voice, So?” 

Shaun replied, So, it doesn’t matter that Mr. Everett breaks up with Roxy. But now Mr. Everett plans to sue Roxy and ask her to return everything he gave 

to Roxy!” 

Joanna was shocked and listened to it quietly

Ingrid stood aside to listen to the conversation. She was so anxious that she kept gesturing for Shaun to get to the point

Shaun felt annoyed and rolled his eyes. Thus, he pulled himself together and asked, Joanna, can you ask Mr. Everett not to do that to us?” 

Heh!Joanna could not help but laugh coldly

Joanna thought, Why would my father think I should help them to beg Bruce for that?” 

Shaun continued, It’s fine that they broke up. However, is Mr. Everett too stingy if he asks Roxy to return all the gifts? It does no good to Mr. Everett’s reputation if the media knows about it

Also, Roxy has been with Mr. Everett for six years

The Haynes family isn’t a topnotch wealthy family, but we’re still decent people in Greyport. However, Mr. Everett is ruthless now. Isn’t he trying to make our entire family become laughingstocks

So, I’m begging you to talk to Mr. Everett and ask him to give up on asking us to return the gifts…” 

Hearing this, Joanna was stunned. Then she rejected Shaun directly, Dad, I can’t help you with that.” 

Joann, Dad is begging you!” 

Then don’t beg me. I can’t help you with that. I’m being honest.” Joanna hung up the phone after finishing her words

Joanna thought, I don’t want to get involved in Bruce and Roxanne’s matters

Roxanne and Ingrid will not be grateful to me even if Bruce is willing to listen to me and give up on getting back what he had given Roxanne

Therefore, there is no need for me to take on such a thankless task!” 

Hello? Hello?Shaun kept saying hello a few times

Sadly, Joanna had already hung up the phone

Shaun sighed and said, I told you it wouldn’t work!” 

Seeing this, Ingrid gritted her teeth in anger and shouted, That damn bitch

Call Joanna again until she agrees!” 

Shaun refused, Don’t bother me anymore! It’s not like we can’t afford a meal now. Do we have to keep Bruce’s stuff?” 

Hearing this, Ingrid was so angry that she rolled her eyes, shouting, Stuff? Those things that Mr. Everett gave to Roxy add up to millions of dollars

No, we can’t return these gifts! We should do our best to keep several of them. Or we can delay the return!” 

Shaun shouted, You’re unreasonable! Call Joanna yourself if you want a negotiation!” 

As Shaun spoke, he got up and went upstairs

Roxanne cried so hard that her eyes swelled up. She asked, Mom, what should we do now?” 

Ingrid said, What can we do? Fight Bruce to the death!” 

Roxanne wiped her snot and said in a daze, But what do we have to fight against him

I will go to jail if I don’t return those things!” 

Hearing this, Ingrid suddenly got so furious that her eyes were on fire. She shouted, I’m so disappointed in you! Why don’t you have any selfrespect? Why do you have to hook up with that poor bastard

See? You’ve ruined your future by yourself!” 

Seeing Ingrid was about to complain again, Roxanne stood up and ran upstairs. Roxanne cried, Enough! I don’t want to listen to your speech anymore!” 

With that, Roxanne ran upstairs in tears

After returning to her room, Roxanne turned on the phone she only used to contact Gavin

Roxanne received a call from Gavin as soon as she turned on the phone

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz

Roxanne took a look at the phone. Then she found hundreds of missed calls and countless messages on the phone

Those calls and messages were all from Gavin

Roxanne answered the call angrily and resentfully, Hello!” 

Gavin’s anxious and humble voice came from the other end of the phone. Hi, Roxy? Thank God. I finally got through to your phone

I’ve called you many times these days. I’m so worried about you” 

Roxanne took a deep breath and roared at the phone, Don’t call me again

Do you know how miserable I became because of you? You’ve caused me great trouble! Wow!”
