The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna) novel Chapter 743

Chapter 743 

Aria felt a pang of pain in her heart after hearing Bruce’s response. 

Perhaps, she had overestimated her importance to him. 

In fact, he and his wife were the ones truly in love, and she had been overthinking.

“Let’s leave it at that for now. Goodbye,” Bruce hung up the phone without waiting for her response. He subsequently instructed the butler to fetch Aria from Riverview 

Although his actions might have seemed a bit ungentlemanly, he did not wan anything. 

and arranged for her to stay at a six-star hotel.

Three o’clock in the afternoon. 

Mr. Jameson arrived at the hospital as promised. 

“Hello, Mr. Everett. Hello, Miss Haynes.” 

Joanna was a bit taken aback by Mr. Jameson’s arrival, as she had never expected that Bruce was being serious about this. 

“Mr. Jameson.” 

Bruce sat on the couch and casually gestured to the seat beside him. “Please have a seat.” 

Mr. Jameson smiled politely and took a seat on the leather couch. 

“Mr. Everett, you mentioned on the phone that you want me to draft a prenuptial agreement, right?” 

“Yes.” 

Mr. Jameson then opened his briefcase and pulled out a prenuptial agreement template. 

“Mr. Everett, this is the template for the prenuptial agreement. You can take a look at it first, and if there are any additional clauses you want to include, we can add them later.” 

The lawyer had handled so many agreements of such nature, so he was aware that the content was always roughly the same. 

It was common for wealthy individuals to protect their existing assets by signing prenuptial agreements. In case of a divorce, they made sure that their pre-marital assets remained untouched by their spouses. 

Wealthy individuals were always shrewd and cautious, ensuring their properties were safeguarded. 

Bruce took the agreement and glanced at it, his eyebrows furrowing slightly. “I asked you to draft a prenuptial agreement, 

but not this kind.” 

Mr. Jameson gazed at him in confusion. 

After all, such agreements were designed to ensure the assets of the wealthy were protected to the fullest extent. 

Bruce pursed his lips and said solemnly, “Draw up a prenuptial agreement where all my assets are shared with my wife.” 

Mr. Jameson was immensely shocked. 

He could not believe what he had just heard. 

This was highly unusual, after all. 

It was especially so for a billionaire like Bruce. If he signed such an agreement, it would mean giving away half of his assets to his wife. 

In the event of a divorce, his spouse would have an unconditional right to claim half of his wealth. 

He wondered why a wise man like Mr. Everett would make sure an irrational decision. 

“Mr. Everett, what did you just say? Can you repeat it?” Mr. Jameson asked for repetition, fearing that he had misheard. 

“Oh, I called you here today to help us draft a prenuptial agreement. Also, to assist with the remarriage procedures.” 

Mr. Jameson took a few seconds to regain his composure, as he had never encountered such a request before. “Alright, Mr. Everett.” 

Bruce pondered and said, “Clause one: after marriage, all my assets are to be shared with my wife. In the event that I have an affair, I will voluntarily give up all my assets…” 

Pfft. 

Mr. Jameson was startled again. 

 

At this moment, he speculated that Mr. Everett might have gone crazy or had some sort of mental illness. 

He discreetly glanced at Bruce, who appeared exceedingly serious, showing no sign of joking. 

“Uh, alright. Mr. Everett, please continue.” 

Mr. Jameson hurriedly took out a recording pen to make notes while nodding incessantly. 

Bruce proceeded to add a few more clauses to the agreement. 

None of them were in his favor; instead, they maximally protected the interests of his wife. 

“Mr. Everett, you must carefully consider the implications of these clauses. Once the agreement is signed, it will be legally enforceable.” 

“I know.” 

“Alright then! I’ll prepare the agreement and send it to your email later. If there are no issues, both parties can sign it, and then we can have it notarized at the notary office.” 

“Good, please have it done as soon as possible.” Bruce nodded. 

“Understood, Mr. Everett.” 

“And regarding the remarriage procedures, please take care of that as well.” 

Mr. Jameson replied with utmost seriousness, “Certainly, it will take approximately a week. Kindly provide me with the identification documents of both parties, and I will make copies of them.” 

Bruce’s expression remained serious as he said, “I’ll have my secretary send them to you later.” 

“Alright, Mr. Everett. I’ll leave now. By next Sunday, I will have the agreements and remarriage procedures completed,” Mr. Jameson said politely as he stood up. 

“Okay, take care.” 

Mr. Jameson did not say much more, heading toward the door as soon as he picked up his briefcase. 

These matters were left to the lawyers to handle. Now, it was only a matter of time. After all, such agreements had to be notarized, printed, and recorded. 

The entire process would take at least a week. 

After Mr. Jameson had left. 

Joanna looked at Bruce in astonishment, unable to believe what had just happened. “Bruce, you… you really mean it?” 

He gazed tenderly at her and smiled affectionately. “Of course, I never joke about such things.” 

She remained stunned, staring at him like a deer in headlights. 

She was in disbelief that he wanted to share all his assets with her, even transferring a substantial portion of the Everett Group’s business to her name. 

Besides, it included the Haynes Group, which had previously been acquired. 

“What? You still don’t believe that I love you?” 

She was left speechless, unsure of what to say. 

There was a saying. 

“A man who spends money on you may not necessarily love you. But a man who refuses to spend money on you definitely doesn’t love you.” 

In other words, a man’s heart was where his money was. 

If a man was willing to entrust all his money to his woman, it displayed his sincere intention to spend his life with her. 

Although Joanna did not care a lot about material things, she was still moved by his gesture. 

“Bruce, you better think it through. Don’t regret it later.” 

He chuckled. “I’ve thought it through. I won’t regret it.” 

She pouted, speaking with some annoyance, “If you ever do something wrong after we get married or have an affair with another woman, I’ll…” 

Before she could finish, he gently rubbed her head and said with a chuckle, “Don’t worry, I won’t betray us. If I ever do something to hurt you, I’ll leave with nothing, and all the money and assets will be left for you and the children.” 

She glared at him as she had not finished speaking yet. 

His eagerness to make these promises made her feel as if she cared too much about material things. 

“Bruce, then let’s establish some ground rules. Once we’re married, you must not betray me, or hurt me or the children. And you must never lie to me.” 

He nodded seriously. “Alright, I promise. I also want to establish some ground rules with you.”
