The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)

Chapter 259

Joanna took up the phone and glanced at it. She felt annoyed when she realized the call was from

Shaun.

Joanna thought, “Dad never calls me for something good. He must call me to talk about Roxanne

again.”

Joanna did not want to answer Shaun’s call. Thus, she muted the phone and placed it aside.

“Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable…”

Ingrid cursed, “Damn it. Joanna didn’t answer the phone!”

Shaun said, “That’s it. Joanna doesn’t pick up the phone. Stop calling her again!”

However, Ingrid did not give up and kept calling Joanna.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Ingrid gave Joanna eight calls in a row. Joanna couldn’t take it anymore and finally picked it up.

“Hi, Dad!” said Joanna.

When Ingrid realized Joanna picked up the phone, her eyes lit up. Then she hurriedly gave the phone

to Shaun and gave Shaun a look to urge him to answer the phone now.

Shaun was angry at Ingrid. However, he frowned and took the phone.

Shaun greeted, “Hey, Joann!”

“What is it?” Joanna’s voice was cold.

Shaun paused for a moment and subconsciously glanced at Ingrid and Roxanne.

Roxanne and Ingrid held their breaths and stared at Shaun with anxiety and expectation.

Shaun coughed and said in a low voice, “Hey, umm. Do you have time now?”

“What? Just say it!” Joanna sounded extremely cold.

Joanna thought, “I know my dad just wants to talk about Roxanne when he calls me, even if he doesn’t

say anything.”

Shaun said, “Dad wants to see you!”

Joanna replied, “Say it over the phone if you have something to say! I’m busy. I don’t have time to see

you!”

Shaun hesitated for a while and asked, “Well. Have you decided to remarry Mr. Everett?”

Joanna was stunned and did not answer Shaun’s question.

Joanna thought, “Deep down, I don’t want to remarry Bruce.

“However, Bruce has a strong desire for control. He will do anything to achieve his goal if he decides to

do it. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“Therefore, remarriage with Bruce is not something I can control.”

Shaun noticed Joanna’s silence and took it as a yes. Thus, Shaun said in a deep voice, “What about

Roxy if you remarry Mr. Everett? Have you ever thought about that?

“After all, you two are sisters, and Roxy is pregnant with Mr. Everett’s child. You and Roxy fight for a

man and embarrass the Haynes family!”

Joanna took a deep breath and said impatiently, “Dad, save it if you’re calling to criticize me.

I still have work to do. Bye.”

Shaun panicked and begged, “Wait! Joann, please don’t hang up yet. I want to talk to you about some

serious matters!”

Joanna tried to be patient and asked, “What? Just say it!”

Shaun sighed deeply. Then he said hesitantly, “What do you think we should do since Mr. Everett has

broken up with Roxy?”

“Dad, that’s the stupidest question I’ve ever heard. You should ask Bruce and Roxanne about it instead

of me!”

Shaun sighed again and said pitifully, “You know, Roxy is upset and desperate now. She is about to

break down!

“I feel my heart ache for Roxy.”

Joanna couldn’t take it anymore. She said in a colder voice, “So?”

Shaun replied, “So, it doesn’t matter that Mr. Everett breaks up with Roxy. But now Mr. Everett plans to

sue Roxy and ask her to return everything he gave

to Roxy!”

Joanna was shocked and listened to it quietly.

Ingrid stood aside to listen to the conversation. She was so anxious that she kept gesturing for Shaun

to get to the point.

Shaun felt annoyed and rolled his eyes. Thus, he pulled himself together and asked, “Joanna, can you

ask Mr. Everett not to do that to us?”

“Heh!” Joanna could not help but laugh coldly.

Joanna thought, “Why would my father think I should help them to beg Bruce for that?”

Shaun continued, “It’s fine that they broke up. However, is Mr. Everett too stingy if he asks Roxy to

return all the gifts? It does no good to Mr. Everett’s reputation if the media knows about it.

“Also, Roxy has been with Mr. Everett for six years!

“The Haynes family isn’t a top–notch wealthy family, but we’re still decent people in Greyport. However,

Mr. Everett is ruthless now. Isn’t he trying to make our entire family become laughingstocks?

“So, I’m begging you to talk to Mr. Everett and ask him to give up on asking us to return the gifts…”

Hearing this, Joanna was stunned. Then she rejected Shaun directly, “Dad, I can’t help you with that.”

“Joann, Dad is begging you!”

“Then don’t beg me. I can’t help you with that. I’m being honest.” Joanna hung up the phone after

finishing her words.

Joanna thought, “I don’t want to get involved in Bruce and Roxanne’s matters.

“Roxanne and Ingrid will not be grateful to me even if Bruce is willing to listen to me and give up on

getting back what he had given Roxanne!

“Therefore, there is no need for me to take on such a thankless task!”

“Hello? Hello?” Shaun kept saying hello a few times.

Sadly, Joanna had already hung up the phone.

Shaun sighed and said, “I told you it wouldn’t work!”

Seeing this, Ingrid gritted her teeth in anger and shouted, “That damn bitch!

“Call Joanna again until she agrees!”

Shaun refused, “Don’t bother me anymore! It’s not like we can’t afford a meal now. Do we have to keep

Bruce’s stuff?”

Hearing this, Ingrid was so angry that she rolled her eyes, shouting, “Stuff? Those things that Mr.

Everett gave to Roxy add up to millions of dollars!

“No, we can’t return these gifts! We should do our best to keep several of them. Or we can delay the

return!”

Shaun shouted, “You’re unreasonable! Call Joanna yourself if you want a negotiation!”

As Shaun spoke, he got up and went upstairs.

Roxanne cried so hard that her eyes swelled up. She asked, “Mom, what should we do now?”

Ingrid said, “What can we do? Fight Bruce to the death!”

Roxanne wiped her snot and said in a daze, “But what do we have to fight against him?

“I will go to jail if I don’t return those things!”

Hearing this, Ingrid suddenly got so furious that her eyes were on fire. She shouted, “I’m so

disappointed in you! Why don’t you have any self–respect? Why do you have to hook up with that poor

bastard?

“See? You’ve ruined your future by yourself!”

Seeing Ingrid was about to complain again, Roxanne stood up and ran upstairs. Roxanne cried,

“Enough! I don’t want to listen to your speech anymore!”

With that, Roxanne ran upstairs in tears.

After returning to her room, Roxanne turned on the phone she only used to contact Gavin.

Roxanne received a call from Gavin as soon as she turned on the phone.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Roxanne took a look at the phone. Then she found hundreds of missed calls and countless messages

on the phone.

Those calls and messages were all from Gavin.

Roxanne answered the call angrily and resentfully, “Hello!”

Gavin’s anxious and humble voice came from the other end of the phone. “Hi, Roxy? Thank God. I

finally got through to your phone!

“I’ve called you many times these days. I’m so worried about you…”

Roxanne took a deep breath and roared at the phone, “Don’t call me again!

“Do you know how miserable I became because of you? You’ve caused me great trouble! Wow!”

Roxanne cried ourloud.

Gavin felt guilty and kept blaming himself. “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry!”

Roxanne said, “Stop saying sorry! If sorry works, the world doesn’t need laws!

“I’ve already lost everything because of you. What else do you want?”

Gavin said, “I… I’m worried about you. I just want to see if I can do anything for you.” Gavin was so

nervous that he was incoherent.

Roxanne cried, “If you really want to do something for me, go and kill Joanna!

I’ll feel better only when Joanna dies! We are finished, and don’t call me again!”

Roxanne hung up the phone after finishing her yelling at Gavin.

Gavin’s mind went blank.

Gavin thought, “The girl I love the most has become notorious! And this is because of mel

“Roxy would have married Bruce and gotten into the Everett family without me. She would have the

richest woman in Greyport!

“But now, everything is gone!”

Gavin held his head in pain and murmured, “Roxy, I love you. I love you so much. I don’t want things to

be like this!”

“I’m a useless man. I’m so useless! What’s the point of my life?” Gavin blamed himself and slapped

himself heavily.

After slapping himself dozens of times in a row, Gavin suddenly had a plan. His eyes gradually

focused.

Gavin thought, “I have nothing to lose now. I put my girl in a terrible state. I had to do something for

her!

“I will risk my life to do it if Roxy can forgive me and regain happiness after I kill Joanna!”

Gavin muttered, “Joanna, it’s all your fault. You’re the one who causes Roxy to become like this!

“I must avenge Roxy!”

Gavin’s eyes widened. Then the hatred filled up Gavin’s empty brain and heart.

Gavin murmured, “Roxy, I’m honored to get rid of an enemy for you and your happiness!”

[Roxy, please be happy!] Gavin sent Joanna the last message. Then, he turned off his phone.

Gavin had made up his mind to do something big.

He was going to avenge the girl he loved!
