“What did you say?” Ingrid’s voice suddenly rose a lot.
Shaun frowned and said earnestly, “I said now that something like this has happened to Roxy, it’s
better to cancel the marriage with the Everett family”
Ingrid looked shocked and surprised. “Excuse me? Are you out of your mind? Roxy is already so
unlucky, and you’re still asking her to break off the engagement?
“Do you know what you’re thinking? Is there something wrong with your
brain?”
Shaun heaved a long sigh and said with heartache, “I’m doing this for Roxy’s own good! Roxy… Even if
she finally managed to marry into the Everett family, she won’t be happy!
“Instead of suffering for the rest of her life, it’s better to stop her losses now. Better a finger off than
always aching!”
When Ingrid heard this, she was completely angry. She stretched out her hand and poked Shaun’s
head. “What do you mean by that? You want Roxy to give the opportunity to that damn bitch Joanna,
right?
“You’re still saying that you’re not biased toward her. You’re biased toward that damn bitch!”
Shaun also stomped his feet anxiously. “Of course not! My heart aches for Roxy, so I don’t want her to
marry into the Everett family again!
“If Mr. Everett really loves Roxy, he would have married her long ago! He wouldn’t have delayed it until
now!
“Now that such a thing has happened to Roxy, even if she succeeded in marrying into the Everett
family, she will be compromising and will not be able to be happy!
“I’d rather she find a man who truly loves her, even if he comes from a slightly lower–class family!”
Ingrid’s face darkened as she cried out, “Forget it! Roxy must marry into the Everett family in this
lifetime! Even if she dies, she must be a ghost of the Everett family!
“She’s already unlucky enough now that something like this has happened to her! If she’s abandoned
by the Everett family again, how can she live?”
“Oh, you women are just short–sighted! Do whatever you want. I don’t want to talk nonsense with
you…”
Shaun could tell that Bruce did not love Roxanne anymore.
Now that something like this had happened to Roxanne, it was even more impossible for Bruce to truly Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
love Roxanne! Even if they got married forcibly, their marriage would not last long.
Ingrid was still cursing. “I don’t want to talk so much nonsense with you. Don’t go against me on this
matter!
“Also, hold a press conference next week to announce that you will sever your father–daughter
relationship with Joanna.
“If she hadn’t been hooking up with Bruce, Roxy wouldn’t have been heartbroken and wouldn’t have
gone out to drink!
“In the end, this matter is all because of that slut Joanna!”
“Got it!”
On the other side.
Kelly brought Irvin home.
“Irvin, you’re back!” Lilia asked with concern.
“Lilia, I’m back!”
“Where’s Davian?”
“Mommy asked Miranda to send Davian to Venturas!”
“Oh…”
“Are you all right?”
“I’m fine. Don’t worry!” Irvin forced a smile.
When he saw his mommy crying so sadly just now, he knew that she must be upset!
However, he was still young and did not know how to protect his mommy. He could only be more
obedient and try not to make his mommy worried.
“Where’s Mommy? Why didn’t she come back with you?”
“Oh, Mommy is with Mr. Grimm!”
Hearing that, Lilia stopped asking!
She knew that her mommy was very busy and hardworking. Her mother had to earn money to support
her and her brothers and to treat her illness.
Hence, the three children were very sensible. Each of them exuded an early maturity that did not match
their ages.
An hour later.
Under Jaydon’s comfort, Joanna’s emotions gradually calmed down!
“I’ll send you back!”
“Okay!”
Jaydon didn’t say anything else and drove Joanna home!
“Irvin, Lilia, Mommy is back!” Joanna entered the house and pretended to be relaxed and casual.
“Mommy…”
Looking at their mommy’s red and swollen eyes, the two kids were terrifyingly quiet!
“Mommy is fine. You two be good!”
Irvin stammered, “Mommy, I want to stay at home to recuperate. I don’t want to go to the hospital
anymore!”
Joanna looked at Irvin and found that he was in good spirits. And now that the doctor had prescribed
medicine, he should be fine. “Alright then! You
need to rest well at home!”
“Okay, I know!”
“Joann, Irvin, I’m really sorry. It’s all my fault! I feel extremely guilty for causing so much damage to
Irvin!”
“It’s okay. It’s hot your fault!”
“Mr. Grimm, when I recover, I’ll continue to make guest appearances for you!”
“Alright, I will definitely wait for you!”
“Okay!”
“Irvin, lie on the bed and rest well! Don’t run around, okay?”
“Got it, Mommy!”
Kelly brought Irvin back to his room to rest!
Only Jaydon and Joanna were left in the living room!
“Joann…” Jaydon hesitated!
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing. Call me if you need anything. I’m always there!”
“Well, thank you, Jay!”
Jaydon wrapped his arms around her shoulders and looked at her gently. “You’re always so polite to
me, impossible for me to take another step forward!”
Joanna lowered her eyes and said in a daze, “No, I… don’t know how to tell you!”
“Just say what you want to say. I’m listening!”
“Forget it. Let’s not talk about it!” Joanna swallowed her words again!
She wanted to tell Jaydon not to get too close to her!
She knew Bruce’s personality. He was very sinister and ruthless.
She was afraid that he would hurt Jaydon!
However, Jaydon was so good to her! She really could not say these words, even if it was out of
kindness!
making our relationship so distant. It’s
“Jay, I… I was afraid that something bad would happen to you!” Joanna said as she looked at Jaydon
with red and swollen eyes.
She was really afraid that she would bring him trouble and disaster!
Jaydon stared at Joanna quietly and smiled. “It’s fine. Don’t worry!”
“Jay, how about…”
Jaydon knew what she wanted to say and gently pulled her into his arms. “Alright, you don’t have to
say anything. I know!”
After saying that, Jaydon was still a little disappointed!
He probably couldn’t compete with Bruce! It wasn’t that he wasn’t outstanding, but his opponent was
too strong!
In the next few days, Joanna began to devote herself to her busy work again!
She did not want to stop. Only by making herself turn like a machine would she not have the energy to
think about those annoying things!
And once it stopped, those annoying and unhappy things would engulf her, leaving her nowhere to
escape!
Monday.
Under Ingrid’s coercion and urging, Shaun really held a press conference!
“From today onward, I officially announce that I have severed my father–daughter relationship with
Joanna Haynes!”
“Joanna Haynes will be chased out of the Haynes family. From now on, she is no longer the Haynes
family’s girl…”
This news instantly shocked all the reporters present!
“Mr. Haynes, may I ask why you chase your daughter out of the house?”
Shaun said coldly, “From now on, Joanna Haynes has nothing to do with me! As for the exact reason,
it’s not convenient to reveal!
“This is the end of the press conference. I will never bring up Ms. Haynes in front of the public again!”
Shaun directly addressed Joanna as Ms. Haynes, which made it even more obvious that he was
determined to sever his father–daughter relationship with Joanna! It also aroused everyone’s curiosity!
In an instant, Joanna had been pushed to the center of attention again!
There were all kinds of guesses and criticisms! In less than an hour, the shocking news blew up all the
major online platforms!
“Miss Haynes has been expelled from the family. The father and the daughter have broken up!”
“Chairwoman of the Haynes Group’s competing drama!”
“Joanna Haynes has been expelled from the Haynes family. She is a sinner for all eternity!”
“After being kicked out of the Everett family, she was also kicked out by the Haynes family!”
All sorts of negative headlines exploded like bombs, turning Joanna into dust!!
Some of the good reviews she had worked so hard to get back were turned to ashes after Shaun broke
off his father daughter relationship with her!
Shaun was like a heavy punch that hit Joanna’s heart heavily!
She had thought that her father was just saying it out of anger!
However, she never expected that her father would really hold a press conference to cut ties with her!
Moreover, he pushed her back to the center of attention!
In the office, Joanna looked at the overwhelming curses on the Internet and the coldness on Shaun’s
face when he addressed her as “Ms. Haynes” at the press conference.
What filled Joanna’s heart was not pain, but numbness and coldness!
Sure enough!
The wound from the closest people hurt the most. That was because they knew where to stab to make
it hurt the most!
