The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)

"What did they talk about on the phone?"

Lilia looked innocent and said, "It seems like they were discussing that if Mommy wanted to meet Mr. Grimm, Daddy would cut ties with Mommy!" Irvin tilted his head, puzzled, and asked, "Why? Mr. Grimm is a nice person. Why does Daddy hate him so much?"

Davian pulled a long face and lightly patted Irvin's head. "You're silly. Daddy must be jealous of Mr. Grimm!" "Is that so?"

"Of course! Daddy wants to be with Mommy, but Mr. Grimm is also pursuing her.

"Now, if Mommy goes to see Mr. Grimm, Daddy will definitely be angry!"

Upon hearing this, Irvin suddenly realized. "So what should we do then?

"Should we think of a way to help Daddy and Mommy get back together?"

"Well, let's assess the situation first..."

It was 11:00 in the evening.

At Greenwick Residential Complex.

Joanna was busy until late at night, and it was already past 11:00 when she finally returned home.

When she got home, she was completely exhausted.

She had been busy at the company all day and had to figure out how to deal with the issues at the factory in Mossbourne. It was overwhelming for her. "Joann, you are back?" Miranda quickly took over Joanna's bag.

"Yeah!" Joanna replied wearily.

She then took off her clothes and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

After that, she went straight to bed to sleep.

"Joann, aren't you going to eat something?"

"I already ate at the office. I'm too tired now."

Seeing how exhausted she was, Miranda said with concern, "I see. Rest well then."

"Good night."

Miranda turned off the lights in the room and gently closed the door.

The next day.

News of Bruce and Joanna's breakup spread like wildfire.

The internet was abuzz with discussions and various true or false rumors were flying around.

[Rumored to have broken up, Mr. Everett and Miss Haynes living separately!]

[Love turned sour. Heading towards its end!]

[Miss Haynes, a skilled two-timer, harvesting love from Mr. Everett and Mr. Grimm]

[Mr. Grimm got involved in a car accident, accompanied by Miss Haynes as an official girlfriend]

The people in Greyport were once again eagerly digging for gossip, waiting for even more overwhelming revelations.

Joanna was busy dealing with company matters and naturally did not pay attention to these rumors.

Early in the morning, as Joanna reached the underground parking lot on her way to work, several entertainment reporters emerged from all directions when she was about to get into the car.

They somehow managed to infiltrate and were lurking downstairs, waiting for Joanna. They swarmed towards her the moment she appeared.

"Miss Haynes, is it true that you broke up with Mr. Everett?"

"Miss Haynes, is your official boyfriend Mr. Grimm or Mr. Everett?"

"Are you two-timing? Did Mr. Everett kick you out of the Everett family?"

"Go away, I have nothing to say!"

"Miss Haynes, just say a few words!" The entertainment reporters rushed to bother her with questions.

Feeling annoyed, Joanna got into her car and drove out of the parking lot.

Unfortunately, her current address had been exposed. She could not stay there anymore and needed to move as soon as possible.

To a more private location.

It was 8:10 in the morning.

Joanna arrived at the building of the Haynes Group.

To her surprise, as soon as the car arrived, another group of entertainment reporters rushed towards her again.

Her current situation felt like being surrounded by ambushes on all sides.

"Miss Haynes, is it really over between you and Mr. Everett?"

"Have you completely given up custody of the children?"

"Is it still possible for you to reconcile with Mr. Everett?"

Joanna maintained a cold expression and remained silent, striding towards the company in an imposing manner.

She had been really annoyed lately!

These media outlets were like flies, constantly waiting outside her house or lurking around the company building every day!

After returning to the office, Joanna calmed her emotions and immediately called Michael.

Ring, ring, ring!

The call connected very soon. "Hello, Miss Haynes."

"Hey, Michael."

"What can I do for you, Miss Haynes?"

"I will be going to Mossbourne this afternoon. Prepare all the necessary documents and client information."

"Understood, Miss Haynes."

"Okay, that's all. I'll hang up now."

After ending the call, Joanna focused her attention on dealing with the company's matters. In the afternoon, she had to rush to Mossbourne to deal with matters at the Industry and Commerce Bureau and the Fire Department.

Therefore, she needed to ensure that the work here was well taken care of in the morning.

At 1:00 in the afternoon, Joanna hurried to Mossbourne with Cora.

She would probably have to stay in Mossbourne for the next few days. If the matters here were not handled properly, she could not be at ease.

In the blink of an eye, five days had passed.

Joanna was busy and occupied every day.

On the sixth day, she finally resolved the issues with the Industry and Commerce Bureau and the Fire Department. The factory was operating normally again.

However, the client base was not very stable. If the factory wanted to stabilize completely, it had to explore new markets,

All in all, things were still going well. At least everything was back on track, and there was no interference from Bruce. Joanna could focus on her work, and her efficiency doubled. Venturas.

At Marhall Hospital.

With most of her work at hand being handled, Joanna finally found some free time to visit Jaydon.

In the hospital ward.

Joanna entered with nutrition supplements and a bouquet of flowers. "Jay, are you feeling better? I come to see you!"

Seeing that Joanna had arrived, Jaydon instantly brightened up. "Joann, why are you here today?"

"I managed to squeeze out a bit of time today to come and see you!" Joanna said as she placed the flowers and nutrition supplements on the bedside table.

Jaydon was also very happy; his eyes seemed to sparkle with joy and tenderness.

He had been looking forward to Joanna's visit every day, thinking that she would not be able to replace time to see him.

But unexpectedly, she came today out of the blue.

"How are you? Are you feeling better?"

"I'm alright! Don't worry!"

Jaydon had been transferred from the intensive care unit to a regular ward.

In the ward, other than Jaydon, there were also Carmel Basil and two nurses kept him company.

Seeing Joanna's arrival, Carmel's expression immediately changed, and she glared at Joanna with hostility.

"Cough cough..." Jaydon unintentionally coughed.

Seeing this, Joanna asked with concern, "Is your throat dry? Let me get you some water..."

Before Joanna could replace a glass, Carmel, with an attentive demeanor, came over with a glass of water. "Mr. Grimm, have some water! Here, be careful, let me help you!" While speaking, Carmel carefully brought the glass to Jaydon's lips.

Watching Carmel's eyes fill with hostility, Joanna felt a little confused.

There had always been rumors about Jaydon and Carmel's relationship.

It seemed that Carmel cared a lot about Jaydon.

After Jaydon finished drinking the water, he straightforwardly asked Carmel to leave. "Carmel, you can leave first."

Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment appeared on Carmel's face. "Mr. Grimm..."

"Out!"

"Hmph!" Carmel did not dare to disobey. She rolled her eyes at Joanna disdainfully, then left the ward.

During the days when Joanna was not around, Carmel had been accompanying Jaydon in the hospital. Even though Jaydon had

told her that she did not need to stay, she insisted on being there to take care of him.

When they were at the company, Jaydon doted on her the most.

Over time, Carmel started to believe it was love and began fantasizing about becoming Jaydon's official girlfriend.

After Carmel left, the atmosphere became slightly awkward.

"Well..." Joanna wanted to say something but hesitated, not knowing what to say.

Jaydon looked at Joanna tenderly, his heart full of concern. "Joann, why have you lost weight again? You've also become haggard, and you even have dark circles." "Well... I did not sleep well last night."

"Have you resolved the issue with the factory in Mossbourne?

"If it can't be resolved, let's not worry about it for now. Once I'm in better health, we can discuss the matter."

Joanna smiled gently and reassured him. "It's fine. I can handle the company's matters.

"You'd better take care of yourself and not worry too much!"

As long as Bruce stopped causing trouble and did not secretly create obstacles, Joanna's ability and execution were strong enough to manage the company without any problems. "You take care of yourself too," said Jaydon as he subconsciously reached out to hold her hand.

Joanna's eyes showed a hint of ease. "Jay, rest well. I'll come to see you another day."

Jaydon was stunned when he heard Joanna was leaving. "Why are you leaving right upon arrival?"

"Well, there's a lot of work at the company. I still have to meet with a few business partners."

"Joann, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Don't push yourself too hard. There's no end to money, and even in the worst case, you still have me, right?" Joanna smiled and pursed her lips slightly upon hearing this.

No matter how sweet a man's words were, they should not be taken too seriously.

"I'll get going first."

After saying goodbye to Jaydon, Joanna left the ward.

Just as she walked out of the room, she heard a stern voice from behind. "Ms. Haynes, stop right there!"

Carmel was standing behind. Her eyes filled with resentment as she stared at Joanna.
