The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)

Chapter 79

“Mr. Everett… The chauffeur was trembling with fear.

“Shut up!”

The chauffeur was so frightened that he did not dare to speak anymore.

He knew Bruce’s temper and could only silently pray they remained safe.

Margaret called as soon as Bruce returned home.

Bruce frowned but still picked up the call. “Hello, Grandma!”

Margaret’s voice sounded from the other end of the line. “Bruce, come and have dinner tonight with

me!”

“Grandma, I’m a little tired today. Can we do it another day?”

Margaret pondered briefly before earnestly advising, “Bruce, I don’t want to interfere in your personal

matters.

“But you have to think of potential repercussions. Don’t act recklessly!

“Since you’re preparing to marry the Haynes family’s second daughter, don’t get too involved with their

eldest daughter. Otherwise, people will gossip, negatively affecting the Everett Group!”

Margaret had also seen the pictures of Bruce and Joanna kissing passionately at the airport.

After all, the Everett family was the wealthiest family in Greyport.

Every move of theirs was bound to be eye–catching, so many things had to be considered when they

acted.

Although Margaret did not like Roxanne, she was a person who valued promises. Her word given was

as good as done.

Since she had promised the Haynes family that Bruce would marry Roxanne, Margaret would not allow

Bruce to fool around outside.

Bruce took a deep breath. “Got it, Grandma!”

“I asked you to bring Joanna’s children back so I could look at them. It’s been so long. Why haven’t you

brought the children. back yet?”

Speaking of Joanna, Bruce’s heart flared with anger. He pursed his lips. “She said that the children

don’t belong to the Everett family. There’s no need for you to take a look at the children, Grandma.”

Margaret fell silent on the other end of the phone.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first! I’ll go back and eat with you this weekend, Grandma.”

“Alright!”

After hanging up, Bruce let out a long sigh of relief and lit a cigarette.

He was still doubtful of Joanna’s words!

However, he was furious at her attitude. When he thought of the ambiguous relationship between her

and Jaydon, his heart tightened even more.

A Rolls–Royce pulled up in front of the Haynes Group’s entrance the next day.

Margaret had come to see Joanna personally.

In the office, Joanna was surprised to see that Margaret had come down personally.

She quickly stood up to welcome Margaret and greeted her politely and respectfully, “Hello, Grandma!

Why are you here?”

Margaret was wearing a retro dress and round–framed glasses with a chain on the bridge of her nose.

On her neck and wrist was an emerald set of jewelry.

She looked elegant and noble.

Joann! It’s been a long time. How have you been?”

Joanna paused and answered, “Oh. I’m fine! Grandma, why are you here today?”

Margaret was a supporter when she and Bruce got married six years ago.

She had treated Joanna well during Joanna’s two years of marriage with Bruce. Therefore, Joanna also

respected Margaret and habitually called her Grandma.

Margaret sat down on the sofa and looked at Joanna in a dignified yet kindly manner. “I came here

today to see you!”

“Oh. Please have some tea, Grandma!”

“No, thank you. Take a seat!” Margaret smiled calmly, indicating that Joanna need not be nervous.

Margaret was the guest, but the aura she exuded inadvertently suppressed that of Joanna’s.

Still uneasy, Joanna sat down on the other end of the sofa. “Grandma, please speak if you have

something to say.”

Margaret paused for a few seconds and smiled kindly. “I wanted to ask about the children.”

“Grandma, I’ve already made things very clear to Mr. Everett about the children.”

Margaret’s eyelids drooped as she quietly stared at Joanna.

Her eyes were kind and amiable but seemed to be able to cut through hearts and minds when she

stared at people. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“Joanna, this is no small matter! If the children belong to the Everett family, we will take responsibility!”

Joanna pursed her lips. “I’m sorry, I think you’ve misunderstood, Grandma. My children do not belong

to the Everett family!”

“I intend to find out whether it’s true or not!”

“What do you want to do?”

“Bring the children here, and let me see them! I will take the children for a paternity test with Bruce. If

they are not of the Everett family…”

Joanna interrupted Margaret. “I’m sorry, but they are my children! You have no right to take my children

away!”

“Oh, no, no, no, I won’t take your children away!

“I’m also a woman. I know how protective a mother is of her children. Even if the children are of the

Everett family, I will not snatch them away from you.

“You can rest assured about this. But if you insist on disagreeing, I will think of other ways!”

Margaret was always polite unless she had to resort to force. Her gentle words carried a chilling threat.

Joanna frowned slightly and pondered for a few seconds. “In that case, I’ll show you something,

Grandma.

“Please give me a moment, Grandma!”

With that, Joanna went straight to a corner of the office.

Then, she opened the safe and took out a folder.

“Grandma, you can take a look at this.” Joanna handed the folder to Margaret.

Margaret eyed Joanna suspiciously. “What is this?”

“These are my children’s birth certificates from the hospital and their paternity test results.”

Margaret opened the folder when she heard this.

Inside the folder were two documents embossed with steel stamps.

One was the children’s birth certificates with the hospital’s seal. Jaydon’s name was in the father’s

columns.

The other was the paternity test results. It showed that the probability of paternity between the three

children and Jaydon

was 99%.

In other words, Jaydon and the three children were biologically related.

After looking at the two documents, Margaret adjusted her glasses, and a hint of disappointment crept

up her face.

“You can take these certificates to any institution for appraisal, Grandma. They are authentic and valid.

“So please stop suspecting that the children are of the Everett family, Grandma!”

Joanna had spent a lot of money to get someone to fake these two certificates. Even the children’s

birth dates were deliberately pushed back by three months.

After a while, Margaret finally came back to her sense. “In that case, sorry to disturb you.”

Margaret stood up and prepared to leave as she spoke.

“It’s alright, as long as the misunderstanding is cleared up!”

Margaret walked toward the office door. When she reached it, she suddenly stopped. “I still want to

give you a reminder.”

“Please go ahead, Grandma.”

“You and Bruce have a past. But Bruce is going to marry your sister soon.

“However you put it, this matter reflects negatively on all of us. I hope you will distance yourself from

Bruce.”

Joanna chuckled and replied coldly, “Grandma, you’ve misunderstood.

“I’ve never wanted anything to do with Mr. Everett!

“As long as he can maintain distance, I will not disturb his life.

“Also, I hope you can advise Mr. Everett, Grandma. Tell him not to suppress and disrupt the normal

operation of the Haynes Group!”
