The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife

Chapter 80

Margaret was a proud person. Naturally, she understood what Joanna meant.

Margaret knew her grandson’s personality well. As for Joanna, she could tell that Joanna was a strong and proud person from the words she spoke.

Some things were probably Bruce’s fault.

Margaret looked back at Joanna kindly. “Don’t worry. I will advise Bruce.

“No matter what, the Haynes Group is your grandfather’s hard work. I don’t wish for the Haynes Group to suffer any negative impact too!”

Thank you, Grandma!”

“Goodbye!”

“Goodbye, Grandma!” Joanna personally sent Margaret downstairs.

Joanna heaved a long sigh of relief once she had sent Margaret away. She could not help but feel a little nervous and prayed that Margaret could manage Bruce.

Joanna was confident she could manage the Haynes Group well as long as Bruce did not play any tricks behind her back.

Bruce returned to the Everett mansion as promised over the weekend.

He would go back for dinner with his Grandma every weekend on time.

Bruce pretended to be nonchalant during dinner time. “Grandma, I heard that you went to see Joanna?”

“Yes,” Margaret replied calmly.

Seeing that Margaret did not continue, Bruce couldn’t help but ask after a while. “And?”

“That’s all.”

“Oh… Bruce gently took a sip of the ginseng soup. His eyes were unfocused.

Margaret suddenly sighed after checking her grandson’s reaction.

“The children are not of the Everett family. In the future, don’t make things difficult for Joanna.”

Bruce’s heart tightened when he heard this.

The spoon in his hand fell into the bowl, generating a crisp, ringing sound. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

“How did you know, Grandma?”

Margaret put down the cutlery in her hand. “Joanna showed me the children’s birth certificates and paternity test results.

“I have checked. The certificates are real. So, the children are not of the Everett family.”

Bruce instantly felt the blood rushing to his head and a hint of hatred gathered in his eyes.

Joanna had cheated on him during their marriage!

Bruce could not take it anymore. He fervently wished that he could settle the score with Joanna right then.

Margaret observed her grandson’s reaction and continued, “In business, we prioritize benefits. Even more important is

keeping promises.

The Everett family has reached where we are today because we kept our promises. Other than keeping promises, it is also vital to be magnanimous.

The Haynes Group was Raymond Haynes‘ life’s work. When your grandfather illegally immigrated to Greyport, he was without relatives and at wit’s end. It was Raymond who took your grandfather in!

“He also helped your grandfather get through the most challenging times. As a person, you can’t forget your roots. You must remember them!

“I don’t want to see the Haynes Group destroyed!”

The country had yet to undergo reformation and open up in the 1960s and the 1970s.

Many people had gone south, illegally migrating from Porash and the surrounding areas into Greyport, which was not yet part of the country, looking for gold. Bruce’s grandfather was one of those people.

At that time, Greyport was particularly cruel to illegal immigrants. Women were directly sold into prostitution when caught by human traffickers, while men were beaten to death and thrown into the sea.

Raymond was one of Greyport’s locals and had taken in Bruce’s grandfather, who had just arrived in Greyport.

After more than 40 years of hard work, the Everett family had become the wealthiest family in Greyport.

Therefore, after they prospered, the Everett family took care of the Haynes family, who, under the former’s help, also entered the circle of the rich.

“I advise you to be magnanimous when settling the matter between yourself and Joanna. She is a woman already having a hard time raising three children alone.

“I don’t want you to interfere with the Haynes Group’s business anymore, and you are not allowed to suppress the Haynes Group secretly!”

Bruce was silent for a few seconds after hearing this. I understand, Grandma!”

Having finished her dinner, Margaret stood up and prepared to leave the dining room. “You’re getting engaged to the Haynes family’s second daughter next month. Stop fooling around outside!

“Since things have come to this, you should get married as soon as possible. You’re not young anymore. It’s about time you give me a great–grandson to dote on!

“I don’t have many years left to live at my age. Before I die, my only wish is to have a great–grandson!”

Bruce felt upset when he heard this. “You will definitely live to be a hundred years old, Grandma! Forget a great–grandson! You’ll live to carry a great–great–grandson!”

“Don’t be cheeky!

“Call Mr. Haynes and Mrs. Haynes over someday to discuss the engagement.”

“You make the arrangements, Grandma.”

Margaret snorted and said dotingly, “I will help you make the arrangements this time. Don’t make any more mistakes!”

“Alright, alright!”

Margaret called Shaun in the evening and invited him and Ingrid to discuss marriage plans.

Ingrid was so happy that she could not close her mouth from smiling after receiving the call. “That’s great! Margaret called us personally and invited your father and me to discuss the engagement!

“Oh my! Thank heavens! This marriage is finally on the agenda!

“Roxy! You must do well this time!”

Roxanne listened from the side. Although she smiled, her heart was filled with sorrow.

She could feel that Bruce no longer had any love for her.

If she married him, she would probably only gain the coveted status of Mrs. Everett.
