The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 34

Bruce sneered and drawled, “Stop pointing fingers if you don’t have any proof. What did I do? What does the plummeting of Haynes Group’s shares have to do with me?”

Infuriated, Joanna took a sharp breath and clenched the phone.

“What the hell do you want?”

“What do I want? Isn’t it clear to you?”

Joanna roared into the phone, “I’m telling you that there’s no way it’s going to happen! The child has already gone abroad and is unlikely to return soon! And, for the record, the child has nothing to do with you and the Everett family! We’re all adults. Please don’t resort to this underhanded tactic.”

Bruce stuck his tongue out. “Hehe. Are you angry?”

Joanna was rendered speechless by his response. “I’ll be damned if I’m not!” she cursed in her mind.

A wicked grin broke out on Bruce’s face as he spoke deliberately in a rascal tone, “I just love it when you’re pissed off but can’t get to me.”

Bruce burst out into laughter after saying that.

Joanna rolled her eyes in annoyance.

She would’ve killed him a hundred times if the killing wasn’t against the law.

“Do you want to stabilize the share price of Haynes Group?”

Joanna growled with exasperation as she thought, “Do you really have to ask?”

“Beg me then!”

“Fine. I’ve had enough of this. Bruce, please don’t do this again!”

“Is this your way of begging? Fix your attitude before you talk to me!”

With that, Bruce hung up the phone. He felt slightly better for being able to vent out his frustration.

“Hello! Hey! Hello?” Joanna called a few times before she realized that the call had been disconnected.

Joanna, seething with rage, immediately called him again.
