Chapter 160

“Bruce, my mind is in a mess now. I do not want to talk about this matter now!” Joanna frowned. Her thin and haggard appearance now made people

feel heartbroken.

Bruce hugged her gently and said, “Alright! We will talk about it slowly after our daughter has recovered.”

Ingrid and Shaun had been searching for quite some time before they found Roxanne.

“Roxy! It is a critical moment now. You can’t throw a tantrum!”

“Joanna, that bitch! Now that she has three children, she has gained the upper hand!”

“At this juncture, she is waiting for you to take the initiative to break up with Bruce!”

Roxanne curled up on the couch, feeling dispirited and listless.

Initially, it should be her wedding tomorrow. However, the wedding was canceled.

She would probably be the laughingstock of the Greyport again.

When she came to think about it, she could not wait to tear Joanna apart.

Shaun could not help but sigh beside them. After giving it a thought, he pulled a long face and said, “If it really doesn’t work, I think… we should just forget about the marriage!”

Upon hearing it, Ingrid said furiously, “You make it sounds so easy, don’t you? Do you know that everyone in Greyport is waiting for Roxy to make a fool

out of herself?”

“No matter what, Roxy has to marry into the Everett family and become Mrs. Everett!” Ingrid continued.

As Ingrid spoke, she sat beside Roxanne again and shook her arms. She said, “Roxy, listen to me and pull yourself together hurriedly. At a time like this, the more you should show your magnanimity.”

She then continued, “So what if she has the children? What are you afraid of? As long as you marry Mr. Everett, you will be Mrs. Everett, his lawful wife!”

“By then, even if Joanna has three children, your status could not be shaken!” Ingrid continued to say.

Roxanne blinked her eyes with tears flowing down her cheeks. She then said, “Mom, I feel so embarrassed now…”

“Silly girl, it would be more embarrassing if you choose to break up with Mr. Everett now! Wealthy families are way different from any normal families. You have to compete with each other with patience and endurance!

“The more you could tolerate and endure, the chances of winning would be higher!

“The more you can’t withstand, the lesser things you could achieve!”

When Shaun heard about it, he interrupted and said, “Stop forcing Roxy anymore. From what I see, Mr. Everett has no intention to marry Roxy at all! Even if we for them into marriage, they would not be happy too.”

Ingrid burst into flames upon hearing what Shaun said, “Shut up! Of course, you want Roxy to break up with Mr. Everett!”

Ingrid then continued to say, “So that you could let that bitch, Joanna, patch up with Mr. Everett and marry him instead. You are so biased!”

“Since when did I being biased? It is a marriage that we are talking about now. Do you know that marriage determines a woman’s happiness for the rest

of her life?”

“I am only afraid that Roxy would not be happy after marrying into the family…” Shaun continued.

“Well, you don’t have to worry about this. No matter what, Roxy should get married first! In short, we could not let that bitch, Joanna, get away with it so,
