The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)

Chapter 21

Stories about Joanna had been cooked up. One by one, they were posted online.

Overnight, it was all about Joanna Haynes all over the internet.

Every day, downstairs in Joanna’s office, there were reporters and strikes against her.

Despite this, she still insisted on coming to work daily.

Back in the Hilbert Hotel.

Early in the morning, Jaydon came to see Joanna with a bunch of flowers.

“Oh, hey, Jay!” Joanna greeted him as she opened the door. She had been preparing breakfast for the

kids.

Even with three nannies, she still cooked for her children from time to time.

“Have you eaten anything? Sit down and let’s eat together,” said Joanna.

She poured Jaydon a glass of milk and went to make another sandwich.

Jaydon did not say no. He just sat down and started digging in.

As a matter of fact, he had always hated sandwiches. However, since it was made by Joanna, that

changed everything.

“Joann, I’ve found a good house. The neighborhood is friendly, and the facilities will protect your

privacy just fine. You should move in with the kids recently,” said the man.

“I will. Thank you, Jay,” Joanna replied. She was still making the sandwich, looking a little exhausted.

Jaydon stared at her thin back, feeling so sorry for her.

He rose from his seat and went to give her a gentle hug from behind. “You shouldn’t go to the office.

these days,” he was saying.

“It’s alright. I’m fine!”

“I always said you were fine. But look at you. How much sleep did you get last night?”

Joanna gave him a smile and flipped her hair a little. “I’m really fine,” she said confidently. “I’m just a

little tired.”

Obviously, she did not convince Jaydon. He looked at her side face, concerns in his eyes. “Don’t you

forget that you have three children to take care of? Who will look after them if you fall down?”

Joanna raised her eyebrows and paused. Then she shrugged and replied, “I’ll find a way.”

Jaydon gave a long sigh and spoke up again, “Joann, you can’t put up with this anymore. You have to

fight back!”

“Of course. I’m not the girl I was six years ago. I’m not going to allow Ingrid and the others to do

whatever they want to!”

“That’s good to hear. I’m so happy to see you pull yourself together,” said Jaydon with a smile. “I’ve got

my PR team working on it. We shall see a reversal tomorrow.”

“Um, Jay, I…” Joanna was not sure how to put it.

Jaydon gave her a bright smile and cut in, “no, you better stay out of sight for the time being.”

“Why?”

“It will make people even more curious about you. And we would want people to assume that you’re

having a breakdown. Then the rebound will be even stronger.”

“Well, all right.” Joanna agreed. “Just in time. I can take the kids and move.”

After all, staying in the hotel was not a long–term solution. She was settling down in the city with the

kids.

“By the way, you need to take a set of photos,” Jaydon added.

Joanna looked at Jaydon in bewilderment. “Photos?”

“Yeah, the public opinion is against you now. You must show some positive images before your

reputation is ruined completely. Also, the Haynes Group’s share price has plummeted recently. We

need to do something. Otherwise, your company will fall apart.”

“Okay, whatever you say!” Joanna had always trusted Jaydon.

This man was the one last person whom Joanna trusted in this world.

The next day, Joanna did not show up at the office. No one at work saw her for the whole day.

“Did that bitch kill herself or what?”

“Maybe she’s just hiding from the heat. People are mad with her. Who knows if someone will attack her

all of a sudden if she’s seen in public!”

In the Haynes villa.

Roxanne ran over to Ingrid cheerfully with her phone. “Mom, look at the comments below! Ha! These

guys you hired are awesome!”

Ingrid sneered as she replied disdainfully, “These are just appetizers. They are far from enough. Don’t

worry. I will make her pay the most painful price. But then again, it feels good to see so many people

calling her a whore!”

Mother and daughter were talking when Shaun came downstairs. “What’s so exciting?” he asked.

“Nothing!” Ingrid answered first.

“Dad, have you seen the news?”

Frowning, Shaun said impatiently, “No, and I won’t. Nothing interesting anyway.”

He did not even have to check to know that there must be nasty news about Joanna everywhere.

“Dad, are you just gonna leave her on a rampage like this?”

“The company is a mess right now. If Joann wants to make a splash, so be it,” Shaun answered flatly.

“When things go out of control, she’ll beg me to go back with tears!”

“That’s right. Since that bitch gave us a hard time, we will make her suffer, too!” said Roxanne fiercely.

Shaun heaved a sigh. “Don’t call her that. She’s your sister after all…”

Roxanne pouted. “I don’t have a sister like that!” she said angrily. “Dad, do you want my brothers and

me, or do you want Joanna?”

“Of course, you three. We’re a family. As for Joanna, alas, that wretched girl… Oh, enough of her. I

need to take care of my blood pressure.”

The next day, someone posted something anonymously about Joanna.

“Three Crimes of Joanna Haynes!”

This title drew Netizens‘ attention at once.

There were thousands of words in the article.

It recorded Joanna’s whole life from her birth up until now. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Especially in her teens when she had returned to the Haynes family and had been shunned by

everyone, including Shaun Haynes who had never given her any fatherly love.

This article seemed to be criticizing Joanna. While in effect, it allowed everyone to take a more global

approach to the issue.

Netizens‘ opinions were not so easy to be changed, but they had already taken a glimpse at the full

picture, which was the crucial first step.
