The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)

Chapter 52

She could overlook it when others did not believe her and reprimanded her.

However, even his own father did not believe her.

Growing up, she worked hard and tried to excel in every way to get her father’s approval and

compliments.

However, no matter how hard she tried, her father had always been cold and indifferent to her. He

never praised her, nor did he ever give her fatherly love.

But now, she had finally accepted the fact. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

She had decided that she no longer wanted to try to please anyone or expect anyone to nourish her

with love.

“Dad, I’m not hooking up with Bruce Everett! I had no idea they’d split up!”

Joanna was pissed too.

Bruce had made her life difficult for the past two days.

Now, she got a broken arm because of him.

Instead of criticizing him, everyone was putting the blame on Joanna.

Ingrid scoffed and lashed out, “Hmph! You didn’t know? Why would you be here if you didn’t know? If

you didn’t seduce Mr. Everett, why would he go see you in the middle of the night? If it weren’t for you,

why would he dump Roxy? Before you came back to Greyport, they were already at the stage of

preparing for marriage. Since you came back, you kept hitting on Mr. Everett and caused conflicts

between them. You’re so shameless! Are there no other men in the world? How could you rob your

sister’s man?”

Shaun frowned. His face was stern and cold. “Joann, I’ll say this one last time. Don’t do anything

disgraceful and immoral anymore. You’ve already stolen the inheritance and become the chairman. of

the board. The least you could do is not steal your sister’s man! If you ever mistreat your sister again,

I’ll disown you!”

Bang!

Joanna staggered precariously as if someone had shot her in the heart.

She felt like her heart had broken into a million pieces.

Tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably.

“Dad, for the last time, I didn’t…”

“Don’t try to find excuses. It’s embarrassing for me to have a daughter like you. You should reflect on

your behavior.”

“Don’t waste your energy. There’s no use trying to reason with her.”

Ingrid was getting increasingly agitated as she chided Joanna, pushing and shoving her menacingly.

“You better get lost. You disgust us.”

Joanna, who had a splint on her arm and several cuts on her body, was immensely weak at that point.

Ingrid’s push made her wobble, and she staggered backward.

Just then, Jaydon happened to be back from shopping. Seeing what was happening, he rushed over

and caught Joanna in his arms.

She was so thin that she felt weightless in his embrace.

Jaydon hugged her distressedly and felt more empathetic about what happened to her in the Haynes.

family. “Joann, are you okay?”

“Well, if it isn’t Mr. Grimm. You should control your girlfriend. Tell her not to go around hitting on another

person’s boyfriend, lest you be cuckolded and kept in the dark about it.”

Jaydon’s face darkened in an instant. He retorted, “Watch your mouth! When your daughter wakes up,

you should ask her what she’s been up to!”

“My daughter is graceful and delicate. A promiscuous woman shouldn’t be compared to her!”

“You have no idea what your daughter has done, do you? Shall I show you?”

Joanna immediately tightened Jaydon’s hand. Her pale little face had a note of supplication. “Jay, that’s

enough talking. Let’s go.”

Roxanne had attempted to harm herself. If the matter of her cheating with a guy friend was brought to

light, it could kill her.

Joanna was not a saint, but she did not want to see Roxanne die.

Jaydon frowned in anger. “Joann, there is no need to be considerate to such unreasonable people!”

“Jay, let’s just leave.” As Joanna said that, she started to cough and felt a sense of dizziness, and her

legs

wobbled.

When Jaydon saw this, he stopped the debate instantly. “Joann, calm down. We’ll go now. I won’t

argue with lowly people like them.”

He looked at Bruce. “Bruce Everett, if you call yourself a man, you ought to leave Joann alone! You’ve

already caused Joann so much trouble. Please be kind and leave her alone.”

With that, Jaydon put his arm around Joanna’s shoulder and carefully carried her back to her ward.

Bruce sat in the doorway of the ward like a stone statue.

His mind was a mess, and he was extremely confused.

Crack!

At that moment, the door of the ward was opened, and a doctor came out.

Ingrid and Shaun rushed over to greet him and asked, “Doctor, how is Roxy?”

Bruce also stood up subconsciously.

“We’ve finished the operation on the patient, but she’s still in a critical condition. She needs to stay in

the ICU to be kept under monitoring.”

“Doctor, you’ve got to bring Roxy back! She’s our only daughter. We can’t let anything happen to her.”

“Mrs. Haynes, we’ll do our best.”

“Can we go in to see her?”

“Not for now. If you want to see her, you can see her through the monitor.”

“Okay.”

Through the computer monitor, Roxanne was seen wearing an oxygen mask and looking as pale as a

sheet.

She was receiving IV drip through tubes and needles jabbed into her body.
