Chapter 44

“That woman sure is long–winded and annoying!”

The truth was, Margaret had nothing but disdain for a woman like Ingrid.

When Raymond was alive, she had been kind and tolerant to the Haynes family, all for Raymond’s

sake.

However, now that Raymond was dead, the Everett family obviously had no relations with Shaun and his wife anymore.

Margaret was merely maintaining a good relationship with them for the sake of Raymond.

However, to Margaret, Ingrid simply had no tact.

An accident had just happened that almost scared her to death, yet Ingrid brought up the subject of marriage at this time.

Ingrid couldn’t have made her intentions clearer.

“How is Joanna?”

“Joanna?” Margaret was stunned.

Bruce frowned, and his lips quivered as he muttered, “She was in the accident with me.”

“But I didn’t see her!”

Hearing that, Bruce struggled to sit up and get out of bed.

Seeing this, Margaret quickly stopped him. “You have to lie down. You’re still on the IV drip! You’ve been hurt so badly. Where do you think you are going?”
