Chapter 2

Four years later.

In the intensive–care unit of a hospital.

“I’m sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn’t getting any better. You should go inside and bid

farewell to him!”

Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, “Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can’t make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government… oh, what to do… none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don’t know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!”

Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.

Raymond, Shaun’s father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.

He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.

In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.

Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond’s death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.

So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.

However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!

No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.

“The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!”

Shaun’s second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little..

Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna’s mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.

She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.

Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.
