The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 1047

“It’s not standard enough. Jump higher.”

Darcy could only grit his teeth and do as he was told.

Although it was easy to do the frog jumps and did not seem like a punishment, Darcy was more than 6.6 feet tall. It

was still very strenuous for him to do this.

Seeing that the man she loved was being played, Grace was indignant as she said, “Darcy, why did you do as he

said? Why do you listen to him so much?”

Grace was born rich, and she was still young. She had never worked with anyone, so how could she know the

employees’ fears of their bosses?

Especially a boss like Bruce.

“Bruce, how could you do this? What right do you have to punish others?”

Bruce snorted and said casually, “Let him do it for an hour first.

“If you don’t help me explain it clearly, then I’ll keep him dancing until tomorrow morning.

“If he doesn’t jump, I’ll get someone to break his legs and break his hamstrings.” Bruce said this purely to scare

her. Darcy had been with him for so many years. How could he bear to break his legs?

Grace was shocked when she heard that. “How dare you?”

“Let’s see if I dare,” Bruce said coldly.

“What right do you have to do this? Do you believe that I’ll call the police and make them arrest you now…”

Bruce crossed his legs and smiled coldly. “Oh, right. Is your brother still using my certificate of authorization?

“I’ll call your brother now. If he wants to continue using the certificate of authorization, I’ll charge 30% of Grimm

Group’s profits every year.”

Grace panicked. “Oh! Don’t, don’t, don’t.”

“I’ll call… I’ll call Joann to explain it, alright?” Grace was terrified.

She quickly took out her phone and called Joanna.

“Beep, beep, beep.”

Joanna picked up the call very quickly. “Hello, Grace.”

“Well, Joann, um… The videos and photos I sent you previously were all fake. They were all photoshopped. Don’t

believe them.” As Grace spoke, her eyes rolled.

“…” Hearing that, Joanna frowned.

How could that be fake?

“Well, I’m calling you now to help Mr. Everett explain it. He… He didn’t hook up

with Aria.

“Those photos were all photoshopped, so you must not believe them. Please forgive Mr. Everett! Also, no one

threatened me and forced me to call you, of

course.”

Joanna took a deep breath and quickly understood everything. Bruce must have threatened Grace. That was why

she made this call.

When Bruce heard this, he was even angrier.

This quick-witted little girl was really infuriating. If she wasn’t a girl, he really wanted to slap her to death.

This score had to be settled on Jaydon and Darcy.

“Keep jumping. Jump higher. Faster,” Bruce said coldly.

Darcy could only put his arms on his neck and squat down to jump faster and higher.

“Grace, is Bruce with you?”

“Yes, yes, he is.”

“What’s he doing?”

Grace pouted and looked at Bruce. She said unhappily, “He’s punishing Darcy. He’s so fierce.”

“…” Bruce’s eyes darkened. He was so angry that he almost vomited blood. When Joanna heard this, she was so

angry that her heart ached too. “Give the phone to Bruce.”

“Hey, Joann wants to speak to you.”

As she spoke, Grace handed the phone to Bruce.

Bruce took the phone. “Hello, honey…”

“Bruce, stop making things difficult for Grace and Darcy,” Joanna scolded Bruce immediately.

She knew his personality all too well.

“I didn’t!”

Joanna said furiously, “I just want to tell you this is between us. Don’t take your anger out on anyone else.”

“Honey, let me explain this to you.”

“I don’t want to hear your explanation anymore.”

“You have to listen. We’ve been through so much together, and you won’t even give me this little bit of trust?

“I really feel so pitiful. I really feel so pathetic,” Bruce also roared angrily.

Sometimes, he really couldn’t stand Joanna’s relentlessness.

If he wanted to cheat on her, no one could stop him. Since he had made a promise to her, he could control himself.

“…” Joanna frowned.

“Yes, I admit it. I’m with Aria now. I’m with her to study something very important.

“As for what we’re studying, I’ll definitely tell you when I come back this time. “Joann, we’ve known each other for

such a long time. If I have something to do with another woman, why would I have to give you all my assets? Why

would I have to marry you?

“Besides, if I want to have something with Aria, we would do it secretly, wouldn’t we? How can we let others take

photos so easily?”

“…” When Joanna heard this, she thought about it and felt it made sense. She was not that angry anymore.

“Honey, I love you! Can you give me some trust?

“Can we just get along? Don’t quarrel any more. Let’s not have any more conflicts. When you’re at home, I’m not

worried when you meet Jaydon. Why don’t you

trust me?

“Think about what I said, okay?”

Joanna didn’t say anything and hung up silently.

Now, her mind was in a mess and she needed to calm down.

“Hello, hello…” Bruce said hello a few times, but Joanna had already hung up.

He wanted to call again, but after thinking about it, he held back.

It was better to wait for him to settle everything before going back to explain slowly!

Seeing his gloomy expression, Grace hurriedly said, “Hey, I’ve already explained it to her for you. You can’t blame

me anymore.

“And you can’t punish Darcy anymore.” As she spoke, Grace looked at Darcy, who was sweating profusely.

Bruce was so angry that he gritted his teeth. His hawk-like eyes darkened. He suddenly raised his hand, wanting to

slap her.

“Oh, Darcy, he’s hitting me!” Grace was so frightened that she ran behind Darcy.

Bruce waved his hand and snorted. He didn’t want to hit her in the first place. He just wanted to scare her.

He would only hit a woman if he was forced into a corner.

“Alright, stop jumping”

Darcy heaved a sigh of relief. His legs were so sore that they were about to cramp. “Mr. Everett, I’ll send her away

now…”

“No, I don’t want to leave. I want to be with you.” Grace hugged Darcy and looked at him pitifully.

There was a big difference in height between them. She barely reached his heart. Darcy touched her head as if she

was a child. “Grace, stop fooling around. I’ll send you away first.”

Bruce raised his eyebrows. “Since you want to stay here so much, just stay here!”

When Grace heard this, she immediately beamed with joy and hugged Darcy tightly.

“Darcy, come out with me.” Bruce led the way out of the room.

“Oh, okay.”

When Darcy walked out of the room, Bruce locked the door behind them.

“Hey, what are you doing? Why are you locking me in the room?

“Open the door!”

“Bang, bang, bang!” Grace was locked in the house and knocked on the door with all her might.

Bruce pulled out the key to the door and ordered the butler in the villa coldly, “Since she wants to stay inside so

badly, let her stay inside for a few days. Serve her with good food and drinks. Don’t let her leave the room.”

“Got it, Mr. Everett.”

“Hey, this is illegal detention. Let me out of here. Darcy, let me out. I want to come out. Bruce, you big baddie. Do

you believe that I’ll tell Joann all your bad things?

“I was wrong. Let me out. I don’t want to be alone in the room. I want to be with Darcy. Darcy, let me out quickly. I

want to go out…”

Darcy had a headache. Although he felt sorry for her, how could he dare to let Grace out? He could only steel his

heart and ignore her, hoping Bruce’s anger would subside and he could let her out.

Grace’s phone was also taken away. She was locked in the room alone. She was so angry that she was about to go

crazy.

Especially since she and Darcy were so sweet, and they wanted to be tied together like conjoined people. How could

she bear to separate from him now?

“Let me out! Let me out!” Grace cried as she banged on the door, but no one opened the door for her.

How evil Bruce was!

He wanted to break up the couple and separate them.

Before he and Joanna reconciled, they could forget about meeting again.
