The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)

Chapter 24

Both of them remained silent for quite a while.

Then Bruce finally spoke up first with an angry snort, “Grandma, what’s the point of seeing her sons?”

“Oh, you stupid child. Do the math. Those two boys might be your children!”

Bruce’s jaw nearly dropped when hearing this. “What? No way! That’s… that’s impossible! I asked her,

and she told me herself that they are not my sons!”

“Alas. you don’t understand women at all. She hates you so much, and she might be saying that to

simply make you mad!”

“To make me mad?” Bruce blinked stupidly.

But then, it came to him. Indeed, he had been quite awful to her. It made sense.

“Anyhow, bring the boys over first and take a paternity test,” said Margaret. “If they are not your sons,

so be it However, if they are your kids, they can’t wander alone out there without a father!”

“Well, I see…”

After the work of five days, Joanna had finally moved into her new apartment. She had cleaned it up.

and they were able to settle down at last.

The apartment was in the city center, and it was quite large.

Apart from the four bedrooms and the sitting rooms, there were also two nannies‘ rooms.

The rent was 40 thousand dollars a month.

Though Joanna was the current chairwoman of the Haynes Group, she did not have too much cash.

She had properties and company shares. If she required a large amount of cash, she had to sell them.

And over the years, there was none left of the money that her mother left her with. However, in a city

like Greyport, where every square inch counted, it could easily cost people tens of millions to purchase

a comfortable apartment.

Therefore, between a comfortable apartment and life, Joanna had to make a choice. She chose the

latter.

“Joann, have you read the news?” Jaydon came over and helped Joanna clean up.

Joanna, busy with her three children’s clothes, replied without looking up. “I’m too busy to think of

anything else. Moving is so tiring!”

Jaydon smiled slightly. “Well, have a look then. You’ll be surprised.”

With that, Jaydon handed Joanna his cell phone.

After reading a few pages of the comments, Joanna sighed. “To be honest, I really don’t want this to

happen! I don’t want to fall out with my dad! Yet, he left me with no other options…”

“Don’t think too much,” said Jaydon. “You need to show your strength. The more you ignore the bad

guys, the more they think you’re a pushover. Only when you fight back can you really protect yourself

and your children.”

“You’re right. Thank you, Jay!”

“Come on. You’re always so polite to me!”

“But I own you. That’s the least I should say. I don’t know what I could do without you,” said Joanna.

Jaydon stared at her beautiful eyes and asked, “Do you really want to thank me?”

“Of course I do!”

Jaydon gave her a bright smile. “Then… will you marry me?”

Joanna froze, and there was a hint of fluster in her eyes.

She did not know if Jaydon had meant it. What she did know was that if she had no kids and if she was

still a young girl, she would not hesitate to accept his proposal.

But now? No. She was not good enough for him.

Noticing the unease on her face, Jaydon smiled sheepishly as he patted her on the shoulder. “Oh, I’m

just kidding!”

An awkward smile broke on Joanna’s pretty face. “Jay, don’t make such jokes. You’re embarrassing

me!”

Jaydon was looking at her gently with a warm smile, but on the inside, her hesitation cut deeply.

For him, tenderness was the thing he had never given to any woman. Any woman but Joanna.

Six years ago, on Joanna’s birthday, when Jaydon was going to tell her his feelings, Bruce ruined the

moment.

That was the regret of his life.

“I’m gonna need to take some pictures of you today!” said Jaydon.

“Sure!”

“And you need to take Davian and Irvin with you,” he added.

Joanna hesitated for a few seconds. But in the end, she agreed with a smile.

Hours later, they were out in the park.

At sunset, Joanna was strolling in a white dress with her sons. With a click, Jaydon recorded this.

moment with his camera.

In the photo, the scene of Joanna and her sons looked quite harmonious.

Haynes‘ house.

It had only been days, but the public opinion had completely reversed.

Ingrid’s dirty past just kept trending on the Internet.

It annoyed Ingrid badly. “Joanna, you’re so shameless,” she cursed. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

“Mom, what’s wrong?” Roxanne asked tentatively.

“I just called the wife of the website’s manager, and she said she couldn’t do anything about it! Damn it.

I’m so mad!” Ingrid smashed her cups into pieces and went on furiously, “Hire more people to write

stories about Joanna! I’ll crush her!”

The next day, several new posts came as expected.

“Joanna Haynes, A Promiscuous Woman Who Brings Shames on Her Family.”

“Ten Tricks that Joanna Played while Taking Raymond’s Legacy.”

“Joanna Haynes Seducing Her Brother–in–Law.”

Posts and news like these were spread on the Internet once again.

Ingrid had spent a lot of money, paying off a lot of trolls to keep attacking Joanna.

“She will never make it this time!” Ingrid was saying to her daughter.

“But Mom.” Roxanne asked, “we’ve spent too much money. And it doesn’t feel like it’s working at all!”

“Oh, you know nothing.” Ingrid replied. “Just wait, that Joanna bitch will be spat on by the whole

Greyport in no time!”

Ingrid smirked viciously, picturing her moment of victory.

However, things did not go as she expected. On the next morning, before these new stories could get

out, accounts of the trolls hired by Ingrid were blocked.

One night passed.
