Chapter 586
The advertising panels on the streets and alleys were pastured with advertisements looking for Joanna.
Passersby, who came across them, exclaimed, “Bruce Everett is such a rich and willful man, spending so much money looking for his ex-wife!”
“I can’t agree more. He should have spent the money doing something more meaningful.
“Joanna Haynes is too much! She should count her blessings for having Brue Everett as her backing. Why did she run away in the first place?”
Joanna lowered her cap when she overheard the passersby’s remarks. She then took a cab and headed toward Greyport
West.
Greyport West was the closest seafront to Porash and a mecca for stowaways.
There were specialized smugglers using fishing boats to smuggle people.
Despite severe police crackdowns, smuggling activities continued to flourish.
It was the only way for Joanna to leave Greyport without exposing her identity.
Meanwhile, at Sherane Bay Villa.
Bruce Everett searched for Joanna with great fanfare, and the media sensationalized it and created a frenzy.
The children learned their mother was missing!
Davian Haynes, the eldest, stammered. “Daddy, where did Mommy go?”
His younger brother, Irvin, and sister, Lilia, looked at Bruce anxiously for an answer.
Bruce squatted down next to them. His face showed hints of fatigue and numbness. He did not know how to reply to his kids.
Irvin asked hesitantly, “Daddy, does Mommy not want us anymore?”
Davian immediately retorted, “No, Mommy won’t abandon us!”
Meanwhile, Lilia poured and cried, “I want Mommy, I want Mommy!”
“Don’t cry, kids. Mommy will come back soon!” Bruce gently hugged his daughter to comfort her.
The four of them snuggled together, looking sad and aggrieved.
The butler hurried in and announced excitedly. “Mr. Everett, good news!”
Bruce’s eyes lit up. “What good news?”
“Someone just called to say he found Mrs. Joanna at a homestay on Newton Street.”
Bruce immediately stood up and asked excitedly. “Really?”
“Yes, sir. According to the informant’s description, it should be Mrs. Joanna.”
Bruce put his daughter down and did not delay for another second. “Hurry up and find her!” he said anxiously.
“Daddy, we want to go too!”
“Be good and stay at home. Behave yourselves while I’m gone.” Bruce said and hurriedly left with the butler.
Half an hour later, Brace arrived at the homestay in the suburbs.
He was with an entourage of bodyguards and servants.
“Where is she?” Bruce asked anxiously.
The lady boss of the homestay was shocked to see so many burly men in suits appearing at her door. She stammered, “She has already left. Look, is this her?”
