Chapter 77
Bruce’s voice was not loud, but it exuded a pressure that made people breathless.
Ingrid’s face turned pale. She pursed her lips as a look of discomfort crept up her face.
To put it bluntly, she dared not ask if Bruce went out to find other women.
Given the current situation, it would already be a miracle if Bruce went ahead and married Roxanne as scheduled.
If Bruce canceled the wedding, their family would really become the laughingstock of Greyport!
Ingrid dared to cause trouble for Joanna, but not Bruce.
“Bruce, that’s not what I meant!”
Bruce crossed his long legs and leaned against the sofa with a deep frown. “Then what did you mean?”
Ingrid quickly thought and answered, “I meant you’re about to get married. So you should spend more time with Roxy!
“Why do you keep finding Joanna when you are free? People will gossip!”
Bruce sneered. His hawk–like eyes blinked, and a menacing aura flowed from him. “Who’s gossiping? What gossip?”
“Well… Didn’t you see the news online? Everyone is spreading nasty gossip!”
“Does their gossip sound as nasty as your insults just now?”
Ingrid, choked and tongue–tied, replied, “No, Bruce, I was angry just now! So the words I spoke were unpleasant.
“I just hope that everything is fine between you and Roxy. Roxy is simple–minded and can be stubborn sometimes.
“You know what happened last time. Roxy almost lost her life! What if something like that happens again?”
Bruce frowned and, without looking up, said. “You’re using the same trick again. It won’t work if you use it too much!”
“Since I’ve agreed to marry Roxy, I won’t go back on my word!
“As for my personal matters, I don’t want anyone to interfere!”
Feeling like her heart was in her throat, Ingrid gulped. She was afraid of offending this wealthy son–in–law of hers.
“I didn’t mean to interfere in your personal matters. It’s just that…”
Before Ingrid could finish her sentence, Bruce stood up. I’m working now. If you have nothing else to say, hurry up and return home.
“If you dare return to the Haynes Group and cause trouble for Joanna again, I’ll make sure the Haynes family regrets it.”
Ingrid’s heart skipped a beat when she heard this.
Bruce was increasingly disdainful of them.
However, besides swallowing her anger, Ingrid could not do anything else.
The other women quickly pulled Ingrid out. “Let’s go! Let’s go back first!”
Ingrid was choked with anger. Her eyes were like knives as she viciously glared at Joanna.
“Joanna, you’re Roxanne’s elder sister. No matter what, you should know your limits. Don’t constantly think about taking

your sister’s things for yourself
“I don’t dare to control you, but your father has heart disease and high blood pressure. If anything happens to him, you’ll regret it!”
Ingrid turned around angrily and left after she finished speaking.
The five women had just reached the elevator when the elevator door happened to open.
Jaydon hurried out of the elevator.
Ingrid became even more furious when she saw Jaydon. “Mr. Grimm, you’re finally here!
“Hurry up and
get a grip on your girlfriend. Don’t let her go around seducing other people’s men!
“Don’t you feel cuckolded?”
Jaydon’s handsome face instantly darkened when he heard this. He ignored Ingrid and hurriedly walked toward Joanna’s
office.
The employees were still watching the spectacle unfold and were whispering to each other.
“Wow, Mr. Grimm is here too! Something exciting is going to unfold!”
“Do
you think Mr. Grimm and Mr. Everett will fight when they meet?”
“It’s possible. Wow, wow, wow! It’ll be like watching two titans fighting!”
“It’s so lively in the office today! We’ve been blessed with so much drama recently!”
Cora reprimanded the employees with a cold expression when she heard this. “Go back to your jobs and stop gawking!
“Whoever continues gossiping will be punished!”
When they heard this, the employees did not dare to gossip anymore and quickly returned to their work cubicles.
There were more than a thousand employees in the Haynes Group.
Even the office workers in the same office building as Joanna amounted to a few dozen.
Meanwhile, in the office.
Joann, everything’s fine! I’ve already warned Ingrid. She won’t dare to cause trouble again!”
Joanna leaned against the desk and weakly ran her fingers through her hair. “Bruce, my heart is weary.
“Can you stay away from me?”
Bruce took her by the shoulders and nuzzled his chin against her hair. “I’ll look after you no matter what happens. What else are you worried about?”
Joanna suddenly raised her head and screamed at the top of her lungs, “I simply don’t want anything to do with you now, do you understand?”
Bruce looked back at her calmly. After a few seconds, he answered, “I know you still love me. Why do you have to reject me like this?
“If you’re trying to play hard to get, it won’t work on me.”
Joanna became even more furious when she heard this and slammed her fists on the table several times. “I don’t love you. I haven’t loved you for a long time now! Since the day of our divorce, I have stopped loving you!

I’m begging you, stop being so narcissistic!”
“If you don’t love me, you wouldn’t have had such a big reaction to me when I touched you!
“Your body can’t fool anyone!”
Joanna was so enraged when she heard this that her entire body trembled. A difficult and cruel man like Bruce would never stop until he achieved his goal.
No woman could remain calm when being pestered by a man like him.
