The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 216

“Who the hell dares to lay a finger on me? Back the hell off!” Derick lunged into a full–blown brawl with the security guards.

“Quit screwing around! It’s a goddamn tragedy for our family! Joann, he’s your brother!

“How can you be so heartless towards your own brother? You’ve let me down!” Shaun seethed with a mix of anger and disappointment.

Two security guards grabbed hold of Derick’s arm and forcefully dragged him towards the exit. “Mr. Haynes, I suggest you leave this conference room right now!” they said.

Derick fumed with frustration. “Joanna, don’t you dare think I’m scared of you! Who the hell do you think you are…

“Get that bastard out of here!”

The security guards no longer hesitated and forcefully expelled him from the conference room.

At that very moment, Cora rushed in to deliver the news. “Miss Haynes, Mr. Everett has arrived!”

Even before the sentence was finished, Bruce strolled in with an icy expression!

Seeing this, Mr. Roger and Mr. Paul promptly stood up, greeting him with a disarming smile. “Mr. Everett, you are finally here!”

Shaun took a deep breath. “Bruce, I’m glad you’re here. We’re right in the middle of a board meeting!

“We’ve all reached a unanimous decision to kick my ungrateful daughter off the board of directors. The ball’s in your court

now!”

“In my court?” Bruce swaggered over to a chair and sat down with an air of arrogance!

“What everyone desires is exactly what I desire!” he added.

Shaun, Mr. Roger, and the others felt a surge of confidence upon hearing this.

“Joann, you simply aren’t suited to be a director of the Haynes Group! You better come to your senses and resign!”

Joanna pressed her lips together. “You won’t find it so damn easy to push me out of the board!

“Either you buy out my shares or you get the hell out!”

Mr. Roger and Mr. Paul exchanged grimaces upon hearing this!

The shares in Joanna’s possession were valued at a staggering 200 million dollars. No one could come up with that much. money in an instant.
