The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)

Chapter 33

Shaun drew on his cigarette and sighed. “What can I do? That rebellious girl disrespects me. Will she

be polite to your people?”

“You’re such a wimp. You’re her father, and you can’t even control your own daughter! I think you

should hold a press conference and sever ties between father and daughter with her!”

Shaun slapped his thigh and said with a wry face, “Hey, let’s not bring something like this to the press!

Isn’t it disgraceful enough? Besides, even if I’m not the chairman, our family still has a lot of savings

and so many side businesses. We can still live our lives!”

Ingrid snapped back, “How is that the same? Haynes Group is a family business and has managed to

get on track to become a listed company! However, something big like it has fallen into others‘ hands.

easily now! I will not tolerate it.”

“So what? My father can give his inheritance to anyone.”

“Come on. Who would give his inheritance to his granddaughter instead of his son? If I had known you

were such a coward, I would never have married you!”

Shaun sighed and shook his head in frustration.

He would not have betrayed his family if not for Ingrid seducing him back then.

Shaun had just married Joanna’s mother and was on their honeymoon back then.

However, Ingrid seduced him.

He only wanted to have a little fun with her, but Ingrid got pregnant after that.

Moreover, Ingrid went straight to Joanna’s mother and told the latter that she was pregnant with

Shaun’s baby.

Joanna’s mother had a bad temper. She left the Haynes residence and was determined to get a

divorce without a second thought.

In hindsight, Shaun really felt sorry for Joanna’s mother.

However, he had no choice but to marry Ingrid.

“Darling, I don’t care. You have to seek an explanation for my two cousins! My cousin has been in the

company for nearly 20 years. If you fire him now, how can he live his life in the future?”

Shaun sighed before replying, “I’ll call Joann and ask what’s the situation now!”

Beep! Beep!

Shaun had no choice but to bite the bullet and make a phone call to Joanna.

“Hello, Dad. What’s up?” Joanna answered the phone.

“Joann, I heard you’ve laid off a dozen old employees. Is that true?” Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

On the other end of the line, Joanna hesitated for a few seconds before saying, “Yes, Dad!”

“These people are the company’s old employees who have worked in the company for more than 20

years. How can you fire them just like that?”

Joanna said calmly, “Dad, these people don’t work seriously. Besides, their positions are important!

The new elites have no suitable job arrangement, which will only drag the company’s development!”

“Joann, I’m not being harsh to you, but you can’t be so cruel! These people are Mdm. Lowe’s relatives

have worked with me for 20 years! Call them now and let them all go back to work!”

“I’m sorry. These people have been fired, and it’s impossible to ask them to come back!”

Chapter 33 “Joann…”

“If there’s nothing else you want to discuss, I’m hanging up!”

Then, Joanna hung up the phone.

Shaun was very upset and scolded, “That gal sure is cruel!”

“You, see? I’ve told you so! This woman is trying to make life miserable for us! If she doesn’t give us an

easy time, you mustn’t give her an easy time too! Hold a press conference tomorrow and sever ties

with her! Let’s see if she can stay in Greyport after that.”

The next day, the shares of Haynes Group hit rock bottom again as soon as the market opened.

At this rate, the company would no longer be able to survive within a few days.

At that moment, James and Luca could not sit still anymore, and they rushed to the company.

“Miss Haynes, the stock prices have fallen so much. What should we do?”

“That’s right! Haynes Group’s share price has never had such a dramatic decline since it became a

listed company. At this rate, Harrison Group may come crashing down…”

“Don’t worry. I’ll think of something!”

Joanna thought it was abnormal for the stock price to fall so badly all of a sudden.

Then, she immediately came to a realization. She thought Bruce had to be the one scheming it.

Joanna had no choice but to call Bruce in the early morning.

Looking at Joanna’s caller ID, Bruce smirked. Then, he answered the call lazily, “What? Can’t resist

calling me so soon?”

When Joanna heard that, she was even more certain that he was to blame.

Agitated, she couldn’t help screaming into the phone, “Bruce, is there any point in doing this? Don’t

forget that you have shares in Haynes Group too!”

On the other end of the line, Bruce sneered, “I don’t care. I can afford to lose a little money!”

“Can you not do dirty tricks? If you want to compete, we can compete fair and square! Don’t you think

it’s despicable to do something behind people’s backs?”

“Thanks for the compliment. I’m despicable just like that! I can even do something more despicable. Do

you want to try it?”

“You…” Joanna gritted her teeth in anger.

“How is it? Have you thought about it yet?”

Bruce’s tone was full of all aggression and arrogance.

“Bruce, can you stop messing around? You have to differentiate between business and personal

matters! If you’re dissatisfied with me, we can solve it privately. Don’t mess with the business!”
