Chapter 589 Bruce Everett returned to his senses moments later and said hoarsely, “I don’t believe you. You must be lying to me!” “Joann, | know you hate me. But the child is innocent. You must be lying to me, right?” Bruce took a deep breath, unwilling to accept the fact.
His parents passed away when he was young, and he had no siblings. His children were his only bloodline.
Bruce already had three children.
However, when Davian, Irvin, and Lilia were born, he was not by their side. He did not experience the joy of being a first-time father then.
Bruce was fully prepared this time around and waited cagerly to welcome a new life into the family.
Therefore, he could not accept the abortion.
Joanna Haynes paused momentarily before replying coldly, “I'm telling the truth. The child has been aborted.” “I don’t have to lie to you. There's nothing else for you to expect” Suddenly, there was utter silence on the other end of the phone.
Bruce could hear the sound of his heart being torn apart. Moments later, he roared angrily, “Joanna Haynes, how dare you do this to me? “That's my child. How dare you abort it without my permission?” Bruce was hysterical.
“Anyway, | have aborted it. End of discussion.” Joanna said matter-of-factly.
Bruce heaved heavily to disperse his anger; his body trembled uncontrollably. “Joanna Haynes, you want to punish me! You did it on purpose, right?” he growled.
“How could you kill your own flesh and blood? You're so cruel! Utterly inhumane!” Bruce's heart-wrenching roar did not move Joanna. Instead, she laughed coldly. “Cruel? Inhumane? Hahaha!” “I dwarf by you, Mr. Everett, Joanna sneered and said sarcastically.

I'm surprised you can feel heartache too?” Bruce knitted his brows, his heart ached so much he could barely breathe. “You're taking revenge on me on purpose! “You've always hated me. You've never forgiven me, have you? The happy times we had were all fake! “You don’t love me anymore. You want to take revenge on me!” Bruce snarled Joanna sighed and smiled, feeling unprecedentedly relaxed and at ease.
“That's right! | already said on the day we divorced that | didn’t love you anymore,” she said indifferently.
“I'll never forgive you for the pain you've caused. | want you to taste what it feels like to be in so much pain that you want to die.” A chill ran down Bruce's spine; he was stunned by what Joanna said.
In the past, he always thought coaxing a woman was a piece of cake.
At most, he would shower her with expensive jewelry and buy her a luxurious mansion and yacht. Money was no object. The woman would eventually change her mind if he showed ample sincerity.
But Bruce suddenly realized his arrogance was at play. A woman would not forgive him easily if she were emotionally hurt.
“Bruce, the pain you feel now is what | went through in the past, Joanna said calmly.
“Except that my pain was ten times worse than yours. Think about what you've done to me. Do you think I'd still love you? Did you ever really love me? Don’t kid yourself, Bruce Everett! “That's not love. It's just possessiveness. Your love is like a master’s control over his pet. It's unequal and lopsided. It was not lovel” Bruce was utterly stumped; his eyes were bloodshot.
Joann, I've always loved you. Why do you think otherwise?” he said.
Tm willing to give up everything for you. | can give you all my money.” Jaanna sneered upon hearing. “Haha, Bruce Everett, don’t you think it's ridiculous! Yes, | have spent your money.
1 “But what | spent was not even a drop in the ocean compared to the market value of the Haynes Group.
“You snatched the Haynes Group from me unscrupulously through despicable means. Ultimately, what's the difference between you and a robber? “It's my money you used to support me, and now you claim you're willing to give up everything for me? Don't you think it’s ironic? Don’t you think it's funny? “You're utterly despicable!” Joanna scoffed.
Bruce held his breath and closed his eyes tightly.
He refused to accept that Joanna had aborted the baby.
He was ecstatic when he found out she was pregnant.
Alas, the more ecstatic he was in the past, the more disappointed he was now. Moreover, his love for Joanna seemed so pathetic in perspective.
“All right, Joann, so be it!” Bruce sighed in resignation.
“I beg you to give me another chance to make amends now. I'm going to prove that | love you.
“As for the Haynes Group, I've never considered keeping it for myself. My goal has always been to keep you by my side.
“I love you, Joanna. | love you so much!” Bruce said with heart-wrenching pain. Tears rolled down his face uncontrollably.
Joanna hung up before he could finish.
She did not want to listen to his nonsense.
Beep, beep, beep! The busy tone came from the other end of the phone. Bruce Everett became instantly furious! He immediately made another call.
“Hello, the number you have dialed is unavailable.” “Bang!” Bruce smashed his cell phone into smithereens and kicked the coffee table across the room.

Blood gathered in his throat, and he instantly puffed out a mouthful.
The butler returned with the found location. He went mumb when he saw Bruce vomiting blood. ‘Mr. Everett, how are you?” Bruce looked at the dark red blood on the floor; the explosive feeling in his chest subsided, and he felt better.
He had gastric problems and had not eaten much for the past few days, causing his acute gastric ulcer to worsen. His stomach bled as a result.
His extreme anger did not help either, causing him to vomit blood again “Don’t worry about me!” Bruce said dismissively.
“No, Mr. Everett, you have to go to the hospital immediately, the butler urged.
“I said don’t worry about me!” Bruce wiped away the blood stain with his sleeve at the corner of his lips. “Have you found the location?” he asked coldly.
“Yes, sir. I've already found it.” “Where is it?” “Under an overpass in the Soris Gate area.” “Gather everyone to find her immediately. We must find Joanna Haynes!” “Mr. Everett. The butler looked at him worriedly.
Whatever caused his vomiting of blood, it was usually a nasty illness.
“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go! Bruce growled.
The butler dared not say anything else. “Okay, right away, sir.” Meanwhile, under the overpass.
Joanna knew that Bruce would come looking for her soon after hanging up.
She quickly discarded her cell phone in the trash can and hurriedly left.
The two vagrants nearby looked at Joanna with their mouths agape.
