Chapter 292
What Mrs. Maxwell said caused a sensation in the room.
The reporters present were even more dumbfounded. They could not believe it.
Today, Joanna specially brought Mrs. Maxwell to the media. She had been backed into a corner with no way out.
She decided to go all out. Instead of hiding it, she might as well take the initiative to clarify everything.
“Mrs. Maxwell, did Mrs. Haynes really instigate this matter? You’ll have to bear legal responsibility for what you said.“”
“That’s right. If Mrs. Haynes does this, isn’t it equivalent to shooting herself in the foot?”
Mrs. Maxwell glanced at Joanna and then looked at the media solemnly.
Then she said, “That day, Mrs. Haynes originally found a few paparazzi to secretly take photos, wanting to completely ruin Miss Joanna’s reputation. So, she sent the servants away and asked me to send the unconscious Miss Joanna to Mr. Everett’s room.
“However, there was an accident that night. Mr. Everett was originally very drunk, but he woke up for some reason. He mistook Miss Joanna for Miss Roxanne.
“After that, Mr. Raymond and Mrs. Margaret were very angry and forced Mr. Bruce to marry Miss Joanna.”
“Everything I said today is true. I’m not lying at all. I’m also willing to take legal responsibility for my words and actions.”
Mrs. Maxwell was originally Ingrid’s confidant. But ever since that incident was ruined, she was fired by Ingrid and kicked out of the Haynes‘ house.
Then Mrs. Maxwell lost her job. Coincidentally, her son was seriously ill. But she did not have the money to treat her son. And she was out of options. In the end, her son died in the hospital.
From then on, Mrs. Maxwell also hated Ingrid to the core.
Unfortunately, she was just a servant. She could do nothing to Ingrid.
It was not until Joanna found her that she could finally vent the anger in her heart. Therefore, she was very cooperative.
Then someone asked, “Mrs. Maxwell, what else do you know?”
“I just want to clarify the facts for Miss Joanna today.
“I’ve said everything that needs to be said. All these years, I’ve been feeling very guilty. Seeing that Miss Joanna has been misunderstood and insulted, I feel even more guilty.”
As Mrs. Maxwell spoke, she could not help but wipe her tears. “I’ve been a servant in the Haynes family for more than ten years. Ever since I worked there, I’ve rarely seen Miss Joanna.
“For many years, Miss Joanna has been living in a boarding school. She will only be brought home on important holidays. Mr. Shaun has never given Miss Joanna a single cent for her living expenses and school fees.
“Miss Joanna has always been treated as an outsider in the Haynes family. Not only does Mr. Shaun hate Miss Joanna, but Ingrid also treats Miss Joanna as a thorn in her side.
“As a father, Mr. Shaun only dotes on Ingrid’s child. Back then, he was also the one who abandoned Miss Joanna and her mother. Ingrid was originally a mistress.”
When the reporters below the stage heard this, they couldn’t wait to dig out more shocking information.
“Miss Joanna, is she telling the truth?”
“Did your father not love you at all?”
Joanna looked at the camera calmly and gloomily. Then she replied, “Yes.
“In order to snatch my grandfather’s shares back from me, Mr. Shaun has resorted to moral blackmail more than once. He has attacked and scolded me many times. The father–daughter relationship between us is over. He is no longer my father.”
Joanna’s eyes turned red. And she choked up several times. In the end, she could not hold back her tears.
The reporters also sympathized with Joanna’s plight. After all, children rarely lived happily in a family with a stepmother.

Chapter 292
“Ms. Haynes, don’t be too sad. We all support you and understand you.”
“Thank you. Thank you.”
“Miss Joanna, would you mind elaborating on your relationship with Mr. Everett?”
Joanna heaved a sigh and tried her best to calm down. Then she said, “Mr. Everett and I divorced five years ago.
“He’s not only an excellent entrepreneur, but also the father of my children.
“We’re divorced now. No matter how many entanglements we had in the past, we’ve let go. I hope we can wish each other well and raise the children together.”
“What about Mr. Grimm? Miss Joanna, please say a few more words.” The media reporters were unwilling to give up and wanted to dig up more information.
Joanna pondered for a few seconds and said in a deep voice, “Mr. Grimm is my benefactor and my best friend. When I was in my most difficult and helpless state, it was Mr. Grimm who helped me a lot.
“Without Mr. Grimm, there wouldn’t be Joanna today. But we’re really just good friends, now and in the future.”
