Jaydon Grimm paused. He was still a little aggrieved. “Joann, are you still worried about me? Or… are you not ready yet?”
Joanna Haynes panicked even more. Her cheeks turned red. “1.
She didn’t know how to explain it.
Since she had already agreed to marry Jaydon, she should not reject his intimacy.
However, she felt an inexplicable panic in her heart. Her mind kept recalling Bruce Everett’s warning to her.
If she really had sex with Jaydon before marriage, with Bruce’s temperament, who knew what kind of crazy things he was capable of.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Right at this moment, the phone rang.
It was as if Joanna had found a life–saving buoy in the ocean. She pushed Jaydon away in a panic and said, “Jay, my phone is ringing! I’ll answer it first.”
Fortunately, Jaydon was not as difficult to deal with as Bruce. When he saw that Joanna was unwilling. Jaydon did not force her despite feeling disappointed deep down.
The call was from Miranda, her housekeeper. Joanna quickly picked it up. “Hello, Miranda, What’s wrong?”
Miranda’s anxious voice rang out from the other end of the line. “Joann, where are you?”
Joanna frowned. “What’s wrong?”
“Er… Mr. Everett is here. He seems to be drunk and keeps banging on the door. We dare not open the door for him!”
Bang! Bang! Bang! On the other end of the line, the faint sound of someone banging on the door could be heard.
Joanna’s heart sank. “I understand! I’ll go back now.”
When he saw how anxious Joanna was, Jaydon asked with concern, “Joann, what’s wrong?”
Joanna hurriedly ended the phone call and said with an uneasy expression, “Jay, I have something urgent to attend to. I’ll go back and settle it first.”
“What is it? I’ll go with you!”
“No need! I can handle it myself Joanna hurriedly picked up her bag and car keys and got ready to go back.
Jaydon stopped her again. “Are you sure you don’t need me to go along?”
“There’s really no need. Something happened at home. It’s better for me to go back and settle it myself.” Not surprisingly. Joanna did not dare to let Jaydon go back with her.
Bruce Everett and Jaydon Grimm were like arch–enemies to begin with. If they met, who knew what kind of trouble would
ensue.
“… Alright then! Call me if there’s anything you need help with.”
“Mm–hmm. Got it!” Joanna replied as she walked toward the door.
Thereafter, Joanna hurriedly got into the car and rushed home.
Along the way, Joanna kept accelerating. She felt increasingly uneasy. “What is this damn bastard up to now?”
Twenty minutes later, in the Ona Place neighborhood, Joanna rushed all the way home.
Several security guards had already gathered at the entrance of the house. Meanwhile, Bruce was still banging on the door.
“Joanna Haynes, open the door! Open the door!”
Inside the house, Miranda and Kelly were downright terrified. “Miss Haynes isn’t back yet?”
“Mr. Everett, please don’t cause trouble here! If you continue to do this, we have no choice but to call the police!”
Those few security guards could only watch helplessly. Other than persuading him in vain, no one dared to step and stop Bruce.
forward
Bruce was extremely drunk. His eyes were bloodshot as he shoved away the security guards beside him. “Get lost!”
“Mr. Everett, please stop this!”
“Get lost! All of you, get lost!”
When she saw this, Joanna subconsciously inhaled deeply. “Bruce Everett, what are you trying to do?”

When the security guards saw that Joanna had returned, they looked as if they had been granted an amnesty. “Ms. Haynes, you’re finally back.”
“It’s alright, it’s alright. It’s been hard on you guys. All of you can go back first. I’ll handle this myself.”
When the security guards heard this, they quickly nodded. “Sure, sure! If you need anything, feel free to call the security
room!”
“Mm–hmm.”
“Joanna, you finally opened the door!” Bruce staggered forward and pounced on Joanna.
The pungent smell of alcohol could already be detected from more than 10 feet away!
Joanna frowned. “Bruce, are you crazy? You drank so much again?”
Bruce stumbled and fell to Joanna’s feet, crashing heavily to the ground. “Urgh… Honey, I’m in pain!”
Upon seeing this, Joanna hurriedly went to help him up. “Just look at you now.”
Unfortunately, there was no way she could help him up by herself.
When Miranda and Kelly heard Joanna’s voice, they hurriedly came out. “Joann, you’re finally back.”
