The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)

Comment Chapter 481 Chapter 481 The next day, Joanna woke up early, feeling incredibly comfortable.

She had never slept so well in such a long time without taking sleeping pills.

Bruce had already awakened. He propped his head on his elbow, delightfully observing her peaceful sleeping form.

“Are you awake?” he asked.

As soon as Joanna opened her eyes, she found Bruce staring at her intently. Startled, she quickly covered her head with the blanket. “Um... why are you looking at me like that?” she exclaimed.

“Because you look beautiful!” Bruce said as he affectionately smiled.

“Come on, wake up! What time is it?” Joanna mumbled sleepily, stifling a yawn. She stretched her limbs, threw back the covers, and climbed out of bed.

“It's already eight o'clock!” Bruce chimed.

“Ah! Why didn’t you wake me up earlier?” Joanna exclaimed in surprise.

Bruce shrugged and answered nonchalantly, “Why should | wake you up?” “Weren't we supposed to have a meeting? If we're late, it would be embarrassing,” Joanna said.

“That's alright. We can let them wait for a bit!” Bruce replied.

Joanna fell silent.

“Let's have some breakfast!” Bruce suggested.

“Alright!” Joanna agreed.

After freshening up and changing clothes, they headed to the dining hall for breakfast.

“Once we arrive at the company today, no matter what they say, don’t be afraid, and do not back down even a bit, Bruce said.

Joanna was eating a sandwich when she heard those words, and her gaze became unsettled.

Managing the Haynes Group was challenging enough with just Mr. Roger and Mr. Paul to contend with, giving her frequent headaches.

But now, the Everett Group had more than 20 shareholders, not to mention numerous high-level executives, none of whom were easy to deal with.

She felt utterly overwhelmed, wondering how she would navigate their tricky personalities and rein in those wily old foxes.

“Bruce, |...” Joanna stammered.

“What's wrong?” Bruce asked as he arched an eyebrow, his face displaying a faint smile..

“Do you trust me? | feel... | really can’t handle it,” Joanna said.

“Here you go again. With me around, you can do it,” Bruce chuckled.

Half-teasingly, he said reassuringly, “Have some confidence in yourself. Show me the unruly and indomitable spirit you have in front of me! Why would you be afraid of those old geezers if you're not afraid of me?” Joanna listened and furrowed her brow, thinking, “How can business matters be the same as emotions?” “Let's go!” Bruce said.

Half an hour later, the pair arrived at the Everett Group.

The moment they step out of the car, a large group of journalists can be seen anxiously waiting outside.

“Mr. Everett, please share a few words!” they urged as they swam the pair.

“Is it true that you resigned as president?” they inquired, their curiosity burning.

Having fallen into the trap yesterday, the reporters were even more determined today. Their thirst for information from Bruce was unquenchable. They would not give up until they achieved their goal.

Contrary to his evasive attitude the previous day, Bruce now calmly faced the camera lenses of the journalists. “Yes, | have officially passed on the position of president of the Everett Group to Ms. Haynes,” he revealed as he maintained a composed demeanor.

“Ms. Haynes is now the new president of the Everett Group. Feel free to interview her and ask any questions,” Bruce announced, his voice carrying a faint smile.

Chapter 481 With that, he smoothly pushed Joanna into the spotlight, directly in front of the eager reporters.

Camera flashes nearly blinded Joanna, and a sea of microphones thrust forward, each vying for her attention.

“Miss Haynes, can you confirm that you have taken over the Everett Group?” the reporters inquired, their voices filled with anticipation.

“Is it true that you and Mr. Everett are remarried?” they pressed, their curiosity peaked.

“Are you confident in managing the Everett Group?” they probed, eager for her response.

“Miss Haynes, do you still maintain contact with Mr. Grimm? Will he congratulate you on your remarriage?” they bombarded her with questions, leaving Joanna Haynes overwhelmed.

Faced with the relentless barrage of questions, Joanna felt her mind buzzing Feeling overwhelmed, Joanna silently cursed, ‘Bruce, this damn brat! He enjoyed launching surprise attacks and never consulted me beforehand. Now, he even trusted me into the limelight without any warning.” “Um, I'm very grateful to Mr. Everett for trusting me. | will do my best,” Joanna responded, her words stiff and formal.

The relentless bursts of camera flashes persisted.

“Thank you all for your concern. Regarding the takeover, it will take some time for things to settle. | will hold a press conference shortly to officially announce the details. For now, we need to proceed upstairs for a meeting.” Joanna said as she put on a brave face and delivered a few official statements.

After that, the bodyguards swiftly stepped forward, preventing the reporters from continuing their relentless questioning.

As the reporters had a relatively fruitful day, they did not bombard Joanna as intensely as they did the day before.

Under the protection of the bodyguards, the two hurriedly entered the elevator.

Frustrated and angry, Joanna pounded Bruce's arm several times as she silently cussed, “Damn bastard! Can't he discuss things with me before thrusting me into the spotlight? | was not mentally prepared for this!” “Bruce Everett, you damn bastard! Why did you push me in front of the reporters?” Joanna cursed, her voice seething with frustration.

Bruce chuckled in a lighthearted tone and asked, “What's wrong? Don’t you enjoy taking charge? I'm merely helping you develop your adaptability skills!” Joanna Haynes grew even more furious when she heard that. She asked, “You jerk! Why didn’t you inform me beforehand? At least let me mentally prepare for this!” “I'm helping you build your ability to adapt to unexpected situations. There will be plenty of them in the future, so | want you to get accustomed to them as soon as possible. It's for your own good,” Bruce laughed as he explained, his voice filled with amusement.

Joanna rolled her eyes fiercely, her frustration was evident.

“We are almost there. Stop fussing. Bruce reminded as he adjusted his expression, reverting to his usual icy and stern demeanor.

Joanna also suppressed her annoyed expression, striving to maintain a composed and expressionless facade.

Inside the conference room, panic ensued..

“He’s gone mad, completely mad. Mr. Everett has completely lost it.” Send Gift
