The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 509

On the other end of the call, Cora hesitated for a moment. She said, “Miss Haynes, I am pregnant! So, I don’t think I could return to Greyport for the time being. You know that I am not young anymore. If I don’t give birth now, I would be reaching the advanced maternal age and have a higher risk during pregnancy…

Joanna was delighted when she heard about it, “Really? When did you get pregnant?

“It’s been three months!”

Joanna smiled and said happily. “Congratulations! You are going to be a mommy soon. Well, you may put your work aside and take good care of yourself during your pregnancy.

“Thank you. Miss Haynes”

“Well then. Take care and bye.”

After hanging up the call, Joanna knitted her eyebrows. She was almost suffocated by all the pressure she was suffering now!

She really wished that Cora could come over to help her. However, Cora was already 33 years old. It was time for her to have her own child. So, she could not let Cora delay it because of work.

In the blink of an eye, it was already two o’clock in the afternoon.

Joanna was still engrossed in her work in the office. In fact, she had already vetted through one–quarter of the large pile of documents on her table.

She had to get the hang of it quickly and familiarized herself with the operation and management models of the company as soon as possible.

At the secretary’s desk.

Mark and Andy felt a little melancholy. “Miss Haynes is such a workaholic. It is already two o’clock in the afternoon. Yet, she has no intention to have her lunch.”

Andy frowned and sighed as he said, “Mr. Everett is in such big trouble now, how could Miss Haynes have the appetite to

cat.”

“By the way, is there any news from Mr. Jameson? How’s the lawsuit going on?”

“Sigh! I heard that it is a little tricky. There are a lot of enterprises that submit joint appeals which led Mr. Everett into bigger trouble now.”

“What will happen to the company if Mr. Everett goes to jail? Is he really going to let Miss Haynes take over it?” said Mark with disbelief.

“What else can be done? We will just have to work as usual then. Anyway, Miss Haynes has already taken over the company. Why are you still having a hysteria?”

Mark drew his lips together and said, “What I mean is that I thought Mr. Everett was joking and would make a better arrangement. Never did I expect that he would hand the company over to Miss Haynes.”

“Stop saying all these. I’ll go and ask Miss Haynes if she would like to eat something for her lunch.”

Andy walked to the office as he spoke.
