The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna) novel Chapter 34

Chapter 34 

Bruce sneered and drawled, “Stop pointing fingers if you don’t have any proof. What did I do? What does the plummeting of Haynes Group’s shares have to do with me?” 

Infuriated, Joanna took a sharp breath and clenched the phone. 

“What the hell do you want?” 

“What do I want? Isn’t it clear to you?” 

Joanna roared into the phone, “I’m telling you that there’s no way it’s going to happen! The child has already gone abroad and is unlikely to return soon! And, for the record, the child has nothing to do with you and the Everett family! We’re all adults. Please don’t resort to this underhanded tactic.” 

Bruce stuck his tongue out. “Hehe. Are you angry?” 

Joanna was rendered speechless by his response. “I’ll be damned if I’m not!” she cursed in her mind. 

A wicked grin broke out on Bruce’s face as he spoke deliberately in a rascal tone, “I just love it when you’re pissed off but can’t get to me.” 

Bruce burst out into laughter after saying that. 

Joanna rolled her eyes in annoyance. 

She would’ve killed him a hundred times if the killing wasn’t against the law. 

“Do you want to stabilize the share price of Haynes Group?” 

Joanna growled with exasperation as she thought, “Do you really have to ask?” 

“Beg me then!” 

“Fine. I’ve had enough of this. Bruce, please don’t do this again!” 

“Is this your way of begging? Fix your attitude before you talk to me!” 

With that, Bruce hung up the phone. He felt slightly better for being able to vent out his frustration. 

“Hello! Hey! Hello?” Joanna called a few times before she realized that the call had been disconnected. 

Joanna, seething with rage, immediately called him again. 

Bruce saw that Joanna’s call had come in again, and he knew that she was anxious and angry. He raised his brow and ended the call again. 

“This damned woman had the nerve to hang up on me the day before yesterday! I want you to know the price of hanging up on me and how frustrating it is when someone deliberately does not answer the phone,” he grumbled inwardly. 

“Ring!” 

The phone kept vibrating. 

Bruce didn’t answer on purpose, but he didn’t switch his phone off either. 

He loved the feeling of leaving her hanging. 

Right then, Andy came to the office to deliver some documents. Noticing that the phone kept vibrating, he couldn’t help but remind Bruce, “Mr. Everett, the phone is ringing. Aren’t you going to 

answer it?” 

Bruce took the documents and replied indifferently, “Let it ring. I will pick it up when this damned woman calls a hundredth!” 

He was convinced that Joanna would do nothing but call him today. 

 

 

 

After all, the market value of Haynes Group had shrunk by nearly 300 million dollars in two days. Nobody could sit still after such shocking development. 

Joanna continued dialing Bruce another four or five times, but the latter still didn’t pick up the phone. 

Joanna gulped and put away the phone. 

“Cora, hold a press conference tomorrow. Please make preparations for it!” 

“Okay, Miss Haynes!” 

Now she had to redeem the public image of Haynes Group and spread the news of their partnership with CI Technologies at the same time. 

Regardless, for the time being, she had to reassure the investors that everything would be all right. 

With that in mind, Joanna took out her phone and called Jaydon. 

Jaydon quickly answered, “Hi, Joann!” 

“Jay, I’m ready to take your advice on packaging myself. I’m holding a press conference tomorrow. I’ll appreciate it if you can lend me a helping hand.” 

Jaydon’s soft laugh was heard over the phone. “Finally? I told you a long time ago. A desirable image. is needed for both yourself and the company. You can rest assured that I will arrange everything beforehand for you! You will only need to bring up your most confident smile in front of the 

camera!” 

“Sure, thank you, Jay! Please excuse me first. I’ll call the public relations officers and set up reception!” 

“All right!” 

After hanging up the phone, Joanna went to the bathroom. 

She washed her face with cold water and heaved a long sigh. 

Then, she started practicing her smile in the mirror. 

Deep down, she wasn’t a confident person. 

the 

She was going to face a number of media interviews tomorrow. She had to show the best and most confident side of herself. 

Bruce was surprised to receive no call from Joanna after 20 minutes. 

He scratched his chin. He thought that the phone might be dead.
