The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife

Chapter 4

“Oh my God, I don’t believe it! After being kicked out of the Everett family, Joanna hooked up with Mr. Grimm. And they’ve had two kids already”

“Mr. Grimm, are these children yours? What is your relationship with Joanna Haynes?”

“When did you two get together?”

“Mr. Grimm, is it true that Ms. Haynes is about to take over the Haynes Group as the new executive director?”

The reports crowded with the popping flashbulbs and the swimming mics.

Hundreds of securities quickly formed a human wall.

Jaydon, who had never been a big fan of interviews, nodded slightly at the crowd of reporters: He was going to answer their questions today.

“Ms. Haynes and I are very good friends. Thank you for your concern,”

This one sentence was enough for the reporters‘ imagination.

Joanna and the two boys entered the cemetery under the protection of Jaydon and security.

Today was the funeral of Joanna’s grandfather, and she felt it necessary for her children to bid a proper farewell to him.

Four years ago, after she divorced Bruce, she gave birth to triplets, two boys and a girl.

The girl was supposed to come with Joanna, but the poor kid was born with a disease, and it was not appropriate for her to attend such an occasion.

So, Joanna only brought her two sons.

She and Jaydon stopped at Raymond’s grave and made three deep bows.

“Kids, bow to your great–grandfather.”

The babies obeyed their mummy and bowed deeply, just as Joanna and Jaydon had done.

A warm family of four.

“Is that man Mr. Grimm? Jaydon Grimm?”

“Oh, dear, he’s not secretly married to that lousy woman, is he?”

“This is shocking, I can’t believe that Mr. Grimm would accept such a woman…”

This scene was irritating Ingrid and Roxanne, not to mention the other ladies present.

Jaydon Grimm was nearly every woman’s fantasy.

He was born into a wealthy family, and he had grown into a handsome young man with a promising future! Jaydon Grimm was no less influential than

Bruce.

Yet now it was Joanna, the woman kicked out of the Everett family, who hooked up with Jaydon.

How could she get so lucky?

What was so charming about her to be with such a fine man?

“Joann, em, whose children are they?” asked Shaun as he looked at the two boys in shock.

“They are my children, dad,” answered Joanna as she turned to the boys. “Davian, Irvin, this is your grandpa.”

“Nice to meet you, Grandpa!” Two boys called out together.

What the…

All the others were thunderstruck by this shocking news.

Ingrid and Roxanne were also freezing, their hearts pounding in horror.

These two boys looked so much like Bruce. Especially their eyes. They were basically small versions of the man.

Shaun still looked incredulous. “And… who’s their father?” he asked with a serious face.

Deep down, he was so worried that Bruce was the father! After all, Bruce was now Roxanne’s fiance.

Yes, Joanna was also Shaun’s daughter, but unlike Roxanne, Joanna grew up abroad with her mother. It wasn’t until Joanna was 12 years old after her mother died that she was brought back to the Haynes family.

Therefore, there was no deep bonding between Joanna and Shaun.

“Joann, I’m not trying to blame you. But you should at least tell your own family about the big issue, such as giving birth to two kids!” Shaun did not look pleased when finding he was a grandfather now. Instead, he looked disgusted.

Shaun believed that if Bruce was the father, then Joanna must have meddled in Roxanne’s love life. Even if Bruce was not the father, Joanna was very

likely to use the boys to seize more shares of the family inheritance.

All in all, this was no good for Shaun.

Joanna kept her head down and didn’t say anything.

She just wanted to take the kids to see her grandfather off for the last time. As for the other things, she didn’t want to explain too much.

By this time, Jaydon had taken a step forward and reached out. “Hi, Mr. Haynes. I’m Jaydon! I’m Joann’s good friend.”

When Shaun heard this, he gave Jaydon a glance subconsciously, and the next second, his nerves were settled,

Shaun never met Jaydon Grimm in person, but the young man’s reputation was well–known, even for him.

Hence, if Jaydon was the father, he could finally be relieved. Hell, he could even celebrate this.

“Oh, hello! So, you and Joann? The kids?”

Jaydon paused for a few seconds, then he replied politely, “Joann and I are very close friends. So I wanted to be here with her and the kids on this grieving day.”

One could argue that his answer was a little too “official” because he neither admitted that he was the father nor denied it.

As a matter of fact, highborn lads like Jaydon all did things like marrying secretly or having a love child. That happened a lot.

However, Bruce, who was standing aside, felt so upset, as if the vessels in his heart were suddenly blocked.

Bruce tore his tie loose subconsciously as his handsome face darkened.

He and Joanna had merely broken up for four years, but it appeared to Bruce that Joanna’s kids must be at least three years old.

In other words, right after Joanna had divorced him, she threw herself into another man’s arms. Or maybe she had long cheated on Bruce while they were still married. No wonder she could walk away without looking back. No wonder she could leave the 100 million dollars alimony behind.

It turned out that she had found herself a new sugar daddy.

Bruce should have known that. Wasn’t she always a scheming woman? If she could somehow sleep with him six years ago, then, of course, she would have been able to seduce Jaydon again.

“How shameless!” thought Bruce. He was cursing fiercely in his mind.

That just cost him the last of his patience. Without saying anything to anyone else, he strode away, ready to leave.

“Bruce? Bruce!” Roxanne called out when she saw Bruce leaving.

Ingrid elbowed her daughter on the shoulder, gesturing for Roxanne to go after Bruce.

Thus, Roxanne hurried to leave the cemetery and ran after Bruce.

The group of reporters saw Bruce getting out, and they immediately swarmed over. “Mr. Everett, what do you think about the relationship between your ex–wife and Mr. Grimm?”

“You lived with your ex–wife for two years, but she failed to get pregnant! Do you think the boys your ex–wife brought over today could be yours?”

“When are you and Ms. Roxanne getting married? Mr. Everett?”

Bruce had been disturbed without the harassment of the reporters. So he was even more furious right now. His bodyguards quickly stopped the reporters from getting any nearer. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“No interviews!”

Then the bodyguards escorted Bruce into a car

“Bruce! Bruce…” Roxanne followed out, but before she could get in, Bruce’s car pulled out of the parking lot.

Reporters turned to Roxanne at once. “Ms. Haynes, when are you and Mr. Everett getting married?”

“What do you think of your sister taking over the Haynes Group?”

Roxanne had never been exposed to reporters like this. She froze and stammered, not knowing what to do or say at all.

Ingrid, worried about her daughter, dashed over in time. Seeing that Roxanne was surrounded by the press, she stepped forward hastily. “Sorry, sorry, we do not have any interviews today!”
