The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna) novel Chapter 359

Chapter 359 Chapter 359 

After a week of careful consideration, Joanna rea

lized she had no other choice. She had to sell her shares or take out a loan against them. 

There was no other way around it. 

*Sigh. I guess this is the only way. I have to find a way to solve the immediate crisis.” 

Joanna could not help but sigh and prepare to meet the bank’s CEO in the afternoon. 

Ring, ring! 

Her phone rang. It was Jaydon. 

Joanna calmed down and picked up the call. “Hello, Jay.” 

Jaydon’s gentle voice came from the other end of the phone. Joann, what are you doing now?” 

Joanna forced a smile. “Tm at the company.” 

“How’s everything going? Nothing major, I hope?” 

“No, nothing major. Don’t worry.” 

When Jaydon heard this, he chuckled. “That’s good to hear. If anything comes up, be sure to let me know!” 

“Got it. How’s your recovery going?” 

“The doctor said that I’m recovering well! I might be able to recover completely soon.” 

Joanna felt happy about Jaydon’s progress. “Really? That’s great! I’ll come pick you up then!” 

“Joann, if anything is going on, don’t push yourself too hard. Make sure to let me know.” 

“Don’t worry! I will!” Joanna reassured him. She hesitated briefly but decided not to tell Jaydon about her plan. 

After all, 300 million dollars was a significant amount, and even if Jaydon was willing to help her, she didn’t want to burden him with that. 

“Alright then, take care. I’ll hang up now.” 

“Jay, I miss you.” 

“Silly, I miss you too!” 

Soon, Joanna had a meeting with the CEO of Gitibank. 

Since it was a mortgage loan, they had to follow the market’s rate, which was 40%. 

Therefore, if she needed a loan of 300 million dollars, she would have to mortgage 30% of the 

company’s shares. 

After thinking for two days, Joanna decided to go all out. 

She would mortgage her own shares and use the funds to buy back the shares from Mr. Roger. This was the only method to deal with the situation now. 

That would be ideal if their plan worked. However, if there were any issues with the loan and the funding chain was broken, things would become troublesome. 

“Uncle Roger, I am in the process of raising funds. The bank’s approval may take about two months.” 

“Please wait for another two more months!” 

Hearing this. Mr. Roger reluctantly agreed, “Alright then.” 

“Only two months. If you miss the deadline, I won’t wait for you any longer.” 

“Yes, I got it!” 

Meanwhile, Caleb was also raising funds to repurchase his shares. In the end, there would only be two shareholders in the company. 

Joanna would hold 56% of the shares, while Caleb would have 44%. 

In the Everett Group! 

After a week of rest, Bruce’s body had almost recovered. 

In the office. 

Bruce was engrossed in his work when Andy knocked on the door and entered. 

Chapter 359 

“Mr. Everett…” 

Without looking up, Bruce asked in a monotone voice, “What is it?” 

Andy looked worried as he said, “Mr. Everett, Princess Martha has been calling me incessantly. She has also sent me numerous text messages. It’s driving me crazy. Perhaps you should call her back?” 

Bruce had been avoiding Princess Martha’s calls all this time. 

Meanwhile, she had been bombarding Andy with phone calls and had sent him over a thousand text messages! 

“Mr. Everett, take a look at these messages. They are all from Princess Martha. It’s really… quite concerning.” 

“If you continue to ignore her, I’m afraid she might do something rash!” 

Bruce took a glance at his phone. 

The messages from Princess Martha were filled with deep sadness, and the more he read them, the more annoyed he was. 

A saying once went. “It’s too easy to pick up girls, but it’s not easy to break out with them!” 

He really could not understand why women would resort to such lowly means to hold on to men. 

Didn’t they realize that men have a rebellious streak in their bones? The more they try to win them back in a submissive manner, the faster men will run away! 

“Ignore her!” 

“Oh.” 

Andy responded helplessly and turned to leave. 

“Ring, ring!” 

Bruce picked up the phone and called Joanna. 

“Hello, Bruce,” Joanna answered the call. 

Bruce cleared his throat. “Joanna, what are you doing?” 

Joanna paused. “I’m at the office. What’s wrong?” 

“Well, are you free today?” 

“Why?” 

Bruce rolled his eyes. She would definitely refuse if he said he wanted to invite her for a meal. 

“Well, I want to discuss the children’s return to the country with h you.” 

Joanna immediately softened upon hearing this. “Are you planning to bring the children back to the country?” 

“Yes.” 

“When?” 

“Shouldn’t we discuss that and arrange it together?” 

Joanna frowned, feeling somewhat puzzled. “Can’t you just tell me over the phone?” 

“No, it’s not something that can be explained over the phone.” 

Joanna fell silent. She wasn’t particularly keen on meeting Bruce, especially not alone! 

Sensing Joanna’s hesitation, Bruce tentatively suggested, “How about this? Let’s meet at a family restaurant and have a good chat 

“When the children come back, let’s pick them up together! We need to discuss whether they should study abroad or in the country.” 

Joanna hesitated for a few seconds. “Alright!” 

“Let’s meet at Blue Pavilion at 6 pm this afternoon.” 

“Fine.” 

“Is there anything else?” 

Bruce smiled awkwardly. “No.” 

“Okay, I’ll hang up now. Let’s talk when we meet.” 

“Sounds good.” 

After hanging up, a smile appeared on Bruce’s lips. 

Chapter 359 

He then went to the changing room and showered before changing into clean clothes. He tidied himself up carefully. 

At 5:30 PM, Bruce drove to the building of the Haynes Group. 

“Ring, ring!” 

Joanna’s phone rang again. “Hello. What’s wrong?” 

Bruce paused. “Didn’t we agree to have dinner together?” 

When Joanna heard this, she said, “Oh, I’m sorry. I’ve been busy and almost forgot.” 

“Where are you now? I’ll come straight to you.” 

“I’m downstairs at your office now.” 

“Oh, give me a moment. I’ll be right down.” 

“Alright.” 

Twenty minutes later. Joanna carried her bag and hurried downstairs. 

As usual, she wore a white professional suit, with black–framed glasses and her hair casually flowing over her shoulders. She didn’t put on any makeup, not even lipstick. 

On the other hand, Bruce was dressed in a well–fitted suit, his hair neatly styled. He looked formal as if attending an important event. 

Joanna opened the car door and got in. “Let’s go.” 

Bruce sized Joanna up. “You’re going like that?” 

Stunned, Joanna asked. “Can’t I?” 

“Sure, why not?” Bruce smiled awkwardly. Then, he started the car and drove towards Blue Pavilion. 

Joanna looked beautiful. Even without makeup, she still had the power to captivate others. 

However, the problem was that women usually were worried about their appearance and would want to present themselves well on a date.
