The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)

Chapter 9

“Joann, did I hear it right? You’re going to kick me, your own father, out?”

Joanna looked at Shaun coolly. “I’m not kicking you out. It’s that you are not fit to be in the Haynes

Group anymore!”

Nowadays, the Haynes Group was crammed with Ingrid’s all kinds of relatives.

These people all came here to slack off. The Haynes Group would go down sooner or later if Joanna

didn’t get rid of them.

“Good, very good! What a dutiful daughter! What a misfortune for my family! I have raised you for

nothing. How could I have given birth to… to such an ungrateful person like you!”

Shaun pounded the desk angrily, hoping that it was Joanna’s head that he was banging.

“Dad, for so many years, you have never really raised me. I have never spent a penny of your money.

So please, don’t say that you raised me or anything like that ever again!”

Shaun was so mad that he was speechless for a moment.

It was true that he never loved or cared about Joanna.

At first, Joanna was just an independent kid who required no concern from Shaun at all. Hence, over

time, he completely ignored his daughter.

“Also, I just want to fulfill my grandfather’s dying wish, to get the Haynes Group into the world’s top 500

businesses. I have no intention of kicking anyone out!”

Bruce was amused by her words and let out laughter. He sneered at her, “Quite ambitious, Ms.

Haynes! Still, confidence is one thing, but arrogance is another. Are you sure you can turn the Haynes

Group into a Fortune 500 company? What if you can’t?” Bruce propped his arms on the desk, his face full of scorn.

His face was so handsome that no one could resist his charm. However, when matched with the look NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

on his face right now, it was simply so irritating!

Joanna heaved a sigh, suppressing her anger. “Together, we will succeed in anything. I believe that the

Haynes Group can be flourishing in a short

time!”

Bruce said, “Since Ms. Haynes is so confident, let’s sign a bet–on agreement! Within three years, if you

can turn the Haynes Group into a Fortune 500 company, then my shares will be distributed as benefits

to everyone! Yet, if you can’t, then by agreement, you will quit the Haynes Group unconditionally!”

Indignant with the man, Joanna gritted her teeth.

Bruce’s offer was quite vicious.

The Haynes Group had been languishing over the years. Getting into the world’s top 500 was Joanna’s

final goal, but that would easily cost her a decade or more.

But she wanted to achieve her goal within three years. That was impossible!

Having heard Bruce’s proposal, Shaun was thrilled, his eyes full of admiration. “Yeah, Mr. Everett is

right! Running such a big company is not as easy as you think! If you are willing to sign the agreement,

I’ll allow you to replace me. But first things first! If you fail in three years, you are going to hand over all

your shares in the Haynes Group!”

Bruce’s eyes were slightly raised, and he looked at Joanna with a faint smile. “So? Do you have the

guts to sign it?”

“Three years are not enough to…”

“If you don’t have the confidence, just say it. Don’t get yourself so many excuses!”

Joanna, irritated by his challenge, replied while resisting the urge to strike Bruce in the face, “Bruce,

why should I sign it? You own 15% of the Haynes Group, and I own 51%. You want to bet your 15%

against my 51%? Don’t you think it’s unfair?”

“Unfair? Didn’t you say that you’ll increase the profits by more than 20% in three years, or you will quit?

So why not make it more fun? Here’s the deal, if you can do it on time, I’ll put another 200 million

dollars on the Haynes Group in addition to my shares!”

Mr. Roger and Mr. Paul were ecstatic when hearing it.

Such good terms were really beneficial for them.

“I’ll think about it, Joanna said.

Bruce smiled and stood up slowly. “All right, you have ten minutes to think about it. My time is valuable.

So I don’t have days to be wasted on you.”

Bruce’s gloating grin got Joanna’s fists clenched. Her face was pale with anger, and the veins in her

temples were bulging.

However, the angrier she got, the happier Bruce was.

From the day Joanna climbed onto his bed, Bruce had made up his mind to step on her for the rest of

her life.

“I’m going out for a smoke. Take Your Time!” Bruce said, swaggering out of the conference room.

He opened the door.

The next second, Bruce saw a charming man in a well–tailored suit standing outside..

It was Jaydon!

“Sorry, did I interrupt your meeting?” Jaydon smiled and held out his right hand politely.

The smile on Bruce’s face vanished at once as he glared at Jaydon with hostility.

Seeing that he had no intention of shaking hands, Jaydon awkwardly withdrew his hand.

“I’m here to pick up Joann. The kids miss her too much. So I had no choice but to bring them here as

well.”

Bruce’s face fell. Then without a word, he strode arrogantly past Jaydon..

“What are you doing here?” asked Joanna.

When she saw Jaydon at the door, she was surprised. So Joanna hurried out of the conference room.

“I hope I’m not disturbing you. Davian and Irvin missed you. So I took them here.”

“Mommy…” Davian and Irvin ran over.

“Oh, you shouldn’t have been here.”

“Mommy, we missed you! What’s taking you so long?” Irvin ran over and grabbed Joanna by the leg all

at once.
