Chapter 211

Upon hearing that, Ingrid let out an exasperated sigh and muttered, “Goodness, what a disaster! The poor old man is so fragile, how can he handle all this stress?

“Now what? This is a major catastrophe! What on earth should we do?

“I’ve been saying it all along, Joanna is a walking curse. Anyone who gets entangled with her is bound to be unlucky, Ingrid continued her complaints.

Bruce was already overwhelmed with turmoil. Ingrid’s words only added fuel to his frustration, pushing him closer to his breaking point.

“If there’s nothing else, you all can go back now!”

Unable to contain himself, Shaun burst out, “How can we just leave it at that? She’s your mother. We are close, aren’t we? Who can possibly remain calm in the face of such a colossal mess?

“I hope Mrs. Everett can pull through this ordeal. If she can’t, well, I’ll definitely give that ungrateful daughter a piece of my, mind!” Shaun vented his frustration.

Shaun and Ingrid learned from Roxanne that Joanna was the one who had brought Margaret down.

Bruce’s expression became grimmer upon hearing this. His countenance turned cold and devoid of any warmth.

Sensing the tension, Roxanne swiftly intervened, “Dad, Mom, let’s refrain from further discussion. Bruce is already upset.”

Ingrid rolled her eyes and remarked, “Bruce, I’m not scolding you, but this is a painful lesson. Never provoke that jinx Joanna again!”

Bruce rolled his eyes in disgust, questioning her right to lecture him.

quick glance.

Times had changed, no doubt!

Bruce had long stopped taking the Haynes family members seriously! Ingrid trying to assert her authority here would only infuriate him.

“Alright then!

“We’ll take off. You stay with Bruce!”

“Got it!”

“Roxy, you’re pregnant now! Take care of yourself, don’t overexert!”

“Yes, yes, I understand!”

Shaun continued their banter for a little while longer.
