The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 20

They were finally gone.

Joanna fell back on her chair. A palpitation attacked her, and her face was ghostly white.

Cora pushed the door open and hurried in. She looked at Joanna’s pale face and asked with concern, “Ms. Haynes, are you okay?”

Joanna massaged her chest for a while and finally let out a long sigh. “I’m fine! Get me a cup of

coffee!”

“Yes!” Cora answered and went to fetch the coffee at once.

Cora had not been with Joanna for long, but she had been very disciplined, and she never asked things she should not know.

That was why when Joanna came into the Haynes Group, she put Cora by her side immediately.

It was lunchtime, and employees were gathering in the break room.

They had just finished lunch and were all on their cell phones, browsing for gossip.

“Wow, is this Ms. Haynes? She is so open!”

“I heard that Ms. Haynes had a quickie with Mr. Everett in the bathroom on her first day here!”

“Well, what’s the big deal? It’s not her first time! Six years ago, at the engagement party of Mr. Everett and Roxanne Haynes, Mr. Everett got drunk, and good, ole Ms. Haynes crept onto the man’s bed and forced him to do her! Then she threatened to kill herself. That was why Mr. Everett married her!”

“Really? How could any woman be so shameless?” Several new interns were dumbfounded by this. shocking news.

They were fresh out of college, and they had no clue about such things before. Being young, dumb, and easy to be manipulated, they were all outraged at once.

Some of them were even thinking of storming into Joanna’s office and spitting in her face right now.

“Why do you think she did it so well in CI? She slept her way up! High–level superiors, business. partners, and even their clients have all been conquered by her pussy!”

“That woman might look elegant and honorable, but deep down, she is cheaper than a 50–cent whore!”

A few of Ingrid’s closest associates kept saying things like that, spreading rumors all over, trying to ruin Joanna’s reputation for good.

“What the… such a bitch! And yet, she hooked up with Mr. Grimm again? Oh, poor Mr. Grimm.” The interns who were infatuated with Jaydon felt so sorry for the man.

“And that’s not all!”

“Exactly, Ms. Haynes isn’t just a slut in her private life. She’s also ruthless. She disowned all her relatives and was extremely vicious! She kicked Mr. Haynes out of the board of directors without any consideration!”

“Mr. Haynes even had a heart attack for this, I’m told! How could she do that to her own father?”
