The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)

Chapter 32

When Lilia finally fell asleep, Joanna sighed and turned off the light, going out of her daughter’s room

without making any noise.

“Beep–beep.” The phone rang and gave her a fright.

Joanna saw a strange number on the screen.

“Hello.”

“Joanna, where did you hide the children?” It was Bruce.

It was obvious that he was quite angry at present.

Joanna replied in a brusque tone, “What’s wrong with you? They are my children and have nothing to

do with your family. Don’t disturb us anymore.

I will sue you if you abduct the children again!”

Bruce swallowed and growled coldly, “Tell me, where are the children?”

“I have sent them to study abroad. Don’t waste your time.”

Bruce explained, “Joanna, Grandma is getting old. She just wants to see the children…”

“I’m sorry. But I’m under no obligation to meet your request.”

She knew that if the children went to see Margaret, they would be forced to stay there.

She knew how shrewd Margaret was. She would not release them easily.

Bruce was lost for words. Being upset, he said, “Joanna, you have one day left. You will be screwed if

you don’t take the children to see her.”

“Beep. Joanna directly hung up the phone without saying anything.

On the other end of the line.

Seeing Joanna hang up the phone, Bruce was very angry.

No one had ever hung up on him.

“Beep–beep.”

“Beep–beep…”

Then Bruce made a dozen phone calls in succession but were all hung up by Joanna.

The more she hung up, the more he called.

Finally, a voice came from the other end of the line. “Sorry. The number you dialed is off. Please redial

later.”

“Joanna, you just wait and see!” Bruce gasped with anger.

“Andy, get the word out right now that the Haynes Group is about to be acquired. Within two days, let

the Haynes Group’s shares fall below the daily limit.”

“Yes, sir.”

Crack! The cell phone was slammed to the ground, and its screen was shattered.

The next day.

The news that the Haynes Group was facing bankruptcy and was about to be acquired quickly made

headlines on the financial boards.

The news rattled many investors.

Soon after, the Haynes Group’s stock fell sharply.

Seeing this, many small investors began to sell their shares of the Haynes Group.

Just in one day, the Haynes Group lost hundreds of millions of dollars in market value.

At this rate, the Haynes Group would soon face the risk of being delisted.

In the Haynes Group.

“Miss Haynes has not come to the company for three days. Will the company go bankrupt?”

“Have you seen the financial news today? The company is going bankrupt!”

“Will Miss Haynes run away with the money?”

“If it goes on like this, it would be impossible to become one of the world’s top 500 enterprises. We Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

need to figure out how to keep the company afloat first!”

“She is just blowing hot air.”

“With Mr. Grim on her side, she’s not afraid at all. But it’s not gonna work out for us. If the company

goes bankrupt, I don’t know how to support the whole family.”

“Yeah, she overreaches herself. I can’t believe she has signed the Valuation Adjustment Mechanism

with Mr. Everett. Now, before the contract expires, she will be screwed.”

“She didn’t come to the company these days. I guess she is too afraid to come.”

“See, there’s been a lot of negative news about her these days.”

“What a jinx she is…”

Some employees were in a heated discussion.

Just then, Joanna appeared unexpectedly behind them.

An intern on the other side saw her first, and his face turned pale. He lowered his head and said,

“Hello, Miss Haynes.”

Other people also hurried back to their posts.

“You guys don’t need to come tomorrow.”

“What? Why?” They looked at each other.

“Miss Haynes, according to the labor contract, if you want to lay us off, you have to give one month’s

notice.”

“Besides, you should give us unemployment benefits.”

“Yeah, even Mr. Haynes cannot fire us easily. Why do you lay us off?”

“Don’t worry. I will give unemployment compensation to each of you following legal procedures.”

Joanna added, “Go to the finance department to settle this month’s salary. I will ask the lawyer to check

the unemployment compensation, and it will be sent to your wage card.”

“Seriously?” They were shocked and couldn’t believe it.

They didn’t expect Joanna to be so decisive and fire them so quickly.

“Cora, here is the layoff list. People on the list don’t have to come here tomorrow.”

“Got it, Miss Haynes.”

There were a dozen people on the list.

All of them were Ingrid’s relatives and confidants.

These people didn’t bring many benefits to the company. Besides, they often spread rumors and

slandered Joanna behind her back.

Therefore, she had to get rid of these people no matter how much it took.

Soon, those who had been fired called Ingrid to complain.

Knowing that her trusted followers were all fired, Ingrid was angrier.

“Damn! Joanna has fired six of my cousins!”

“She is so cruel!”

Ingrid cursed Joanna while crying, and she punched Shaun from time to time.

Shaun kept smoking without saying a word.

“Shaun, see what your daughter did. If you don’t do anything to her, she’s gonna be more rampant.”
