The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna) novel Chapter 318

Chapter 318 

Joanna panicked and struggled desperately. “Bruce, don’t touch me again. I’m already engaged!” 

“I won’t allow you to marry him. You’re mine. You can only belong to me…” 

With a ripping sound, Joanna’s blouse was torn. 

“Oh, help!” Joanna struggled and bit Bruce fiercely. 

“Ow!” Bruce’s shoulder hurt from the bite, infuriating him even more. 

“Bruce, if you touch me again, I’ll die in front of you!” Joanna struggled with all her might. Her face was filled with resistance and fear, and tears fell from her eyes. 

Bruce was silent. He frowned and stopped. 

The way Joanna resisted hurt him deeply. It was as if a sharp knife had pierced his heart. It was unbearably painful. 

Whatever he wanted had always come to him effortlessly. 

However, he only realized now that it was so difficult to change the mind of someone he had once lost. 

“Joanna, just wait and see. I’ll make you regret it! 

“When the time comes, don’t cry and beg me!” 

Bruce let go of Joanna resentfully and strode out coldly. 

Joanna got off the table and slumped into a chair. Tears of humiliation slid down her pale cheeks. 

Outside the conference room, Mr. Roger and Mr. Paul were feeling uneasy. They were also mumbling softly! 

“Do you think Miss Haynes can persuade Mr. Everett?” 

Mr. Roger looked up and replied in a low voice, “Don’t worry! Miss Haynes is Mr. Everett’s old flame. As long as Miss Haynes uses her feminine wiles, it will definitely be alright!” 

“Well…” Mr. Paul was speechless. 

Seeing the look of disbelief on Mr. Paul’s face, Mr. Roger continued to tease, “Why? Don’t you believe me? It’s not like Miss Haynes hasn’t done it 

before.” 

“I hope so!” 

Just as the two of them were whispering, the door of the conference room was pulled open with a loud bam! 

Bruce walked out with a dark expression. His face was menacingly dark! 

“Mr. Everett…” The two wily old men hurried over. 

Bruce coldly walked toward the elevator without saying a word! 

The bodyguards behind him followed him, stopping the others from approaching. 

“W–what is going on?” 

“Don’t tell me the negotiation fell through?” 

“Let’s go in and take a look!” 

Mr. Roger, Mr. Paul, and the others hurriedly walked toward the conference room! 

In the conference room, Joanna was still in shock, and her clothes were a little messy. Fortunately, no intimate parts of her body were exposed! 

Mr. Paul asked anxiously. “Miss Haynes, how did it go? Has Mr. Everett changed his mind?” 

Joanna snapped out of her daze, and her expression changed. She cried out, “All of you, get out. Who told you to come in?” 

Mr. Paul and Mr. Roger were speechless and taken aback by the roar. They left the conference room again after they were snubbed. 

The two of them automatically imagined some scenes. 

They believed that Joanna must have used her feminine wiles on Mr. Everett, but Mr. Everett rejected her! 

That was why she was so flustered and exasperated. 

A few of the company’s higher–ups could not help but whisper among themselves. They also believed that Joanna must have taken the initiative to 

throw herself at Mr. Everett. 

“It looks like Mr. Everett isn’t interested in Miss Haynes anymore!” 

“That’s for sure. No matter how nice something is, one is bound to get sick of it!” 

Chapter 318 

“Of course. I heard that Mr. Everett and Princess Martha are in a secret relationship!” 

“That can’t be true, right?” 

“I also heard that Princess Martha specially flew over to Greyport!” 

“Wow, no wonder Mr. Everett can’t wait to make a clean break with his ex–wife!” 

“Isn’t that normal? Men are fickle in their affection! Besides, Princess Martha is a princess. Miss Haynes is already a mother, How can she compare?” 

“You can’t say that. Miss Haynes is still very feminine and charming!” 

“Even if Mr. Everett is gone, she still has Mr. Grimm!” 

“That’s true…” 

“Come on, let’s get to work! If word of this reaches Miss Haynes’s cars, we’ll be in deep trouble.” 

The Everett Group. 

Bruce returned to the company in frustration. 

As soon as he entered his office, his phone rang before he could sit down to catch his breath. 

A ringing sound was heard. 

It was Princess Martha’s persistent phone call again! 

Bruce looked at the phone and frowned! 

To him, it was easy to pick up girls but too hard to shake them off. 

Sometimes, he just wanted some novelty, but women always fell for him, and there was no end to their pestering. 

If he were not careful, women would claim the moral high ground and condemn him as a scumbag. 

Especially for a man of his status, if he looked at any woman for a second longer, it would make the other party’s heart flutter. She would think she had a chance with him! 

Of course, he had never thought of himself as a good man who was chaste and pure. 

A ringing sound was heard again. 

The phone kept ringing! 

Bruce exhaled in frustration and braced himself to answer the call. “Hello, Martha!” 

Princess Martha’s disappointed voice could be heard on the other end of the line. “Bruce, what took you so long to pick up the phone?” 

“I was in a meeting just now. What’s wrong?” Bruce asked perfunctorily. 

His passion for Princess Martha had clearly subsided, and his attitude had become indifferent. 

It was said that men were wolves that liked to chase after their prey! 

The harder it was to catch the prey, the more precious it was. 

However, there were always some prey that threw themselves at him with just a glance. 

How would that satisfy his desire to conquer? 

“Didn’t you say you were coming to see me this week?” 

“I’m busy this week. I don’t think I can spare the time.” 

“Then I’ll go over 5 Greyport to see you!” 

“That’s not a good idea! I’ll visit you after I’m done.” 

“Well, I’ve already told my father about us! My father wants to meet you personally.” 

Bruce was speechless after he heard that, and his head throbbed even harder! 

He had not even thought it through yet. Was he going to meet her parent so soon? 

“Bruce, why aren’t you saying anything? Are you unwilling?” 

“Martha, we’ve only known each other for a short time. Isn’t it too soon to talk about marriage now?” 

Princess Martha said dejectedly. “We’ve known each other for over three months. We’ve known each other well enough. 

“As long as we truly love each other, the sooner we get married, the better.” 

“Well, I’m busy here now. I’ll call you tonight!” 

Chapter 218 

*Bruce…” 

Bruce said a lew more perfunctory words before hanging up. 

After hanging up, his head throbbed even harder!

Princess Martha wanted to marry him. That made him extremely frustrated. 

The next day. 

When Bruce arrived at the company, there were already reporters gathered downstairs. 

“Mr. Everett, are you withdrawing your investment from the Haynes Group?” 

“Yes!” 

“Why? Can you tell us the reason?” 

“Well, this is about an investment. It’s not convenient to talk about it in detail. Thank you!” Bruce said a few simple words in front of the media before entering the company.
