The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 254

“Roxy, you just woke up and are still very weak. You should rest well now. By the way, tell me, why did you suddenly

have stomach pain?”

Roxanne panicked and stammered, “… …” She dared not to tell the truth.

Ingrid said, “I just called Bruce. He sounded very annoyed and talked to me rudely.”

Roxanne asked anxiously, “Mom, what did Bruce say to you?”

Ingrid replied, “He said you know what you’ve done.”

Ingrid could not control her curiosity and asked, “Roxy, what exactly did you do?”

Roxanne’s heart skipped a beat when she heard that. She stuttered, “…”

Ingrid said, “Stop the stuttering and tell me now!”

Roxanne said, “It’s nothing. My belly suddenly hurt when I walked on the streets.

“Hmph! It must be that bitch Joanna badmouthing me behind my back! It must be her! Otherwise, Bruce wouldn’t

have treated me like that!

“Joanna, I won’t let you off!” Roxanne was so angry that her eyes seemed on fire. She wanted nothing more than to

tear Joanna into pieces.

Ingrid rolled her eyes and reminded Roxanne, “Roxy, it’s not the time to cause more trouble.

“The most important thing now is to keep your baby. Nothing can’t happen to the child in your belly no matter what

happens!”

Ingrid and Roxanne concentrated on their conversation without noticing Shaun had left the ward long ago.

Roxanne finished talking about herself and suddenly remembered her parents had planned to get a divorce. Thus,

Roxanne asked, “Mom, where’s Dad?”

Ingrid looked around and found Shaun was not here. She said, “He may go out to have a walk.”

Roxanne asked worriedly, “Mom, is everything okay between you and Dad?”

Ingrid sighed and said, “No need to worry about us. Take care of yourself first.”

Now, Wallace and Oscar had both left Greyport.

Shaun knew Ingrid had cheated on him. Sadly, Shaun could not catch Ingrid in bed. He was angry about it as long

as he thought of it.

Shaun murmured, “I have married Ingrid for so many years. If I want a divorce, Ingrid will take half of my money

and assets. If so, I will lose a lot without gaining anything!”

Therefore, Shaun decided to bear the insult.

The next day, a nurse injected Roxanne with another shot of pregnancy–stabilizing medicine. A doctor asked

Roxanne to do all kinds of treatments to keep the baby.

Ingrid could not help it and called Bruce again.

However, Bruce no longer picked up Ingrid’s calls.

That made Ingrid and Roxanne furious.

For the next three days, Roxanne stayed in the Hospital to keep her baby.

On the fourth day, the doctor announced Roxanne’s baby was saved.

Ingrid complained, “I can’t believe it. How can Mr. Everett do this? It’s been four days, and he hasn’t come to the

hospital to visit you.

“He should care about his child at least, even if he has no feelings for you.”

Hearing Ingrid’s complaint, Roxanne did not say a word. She lay on the hospital bed with a sorrowful expression,

and her eyes looked dull.

Roxanne had no idea Bruce already knew she had an affair with Gavin.

Joanna was allowed to be discharged on the seventh day of the Christmas holidays since she had been in the

hospital for days.

Joanna was still weak, but the doctor said she could go home and recover.

Bruce and the kids went to the ward to pick up Joanna.

Joanna cried, “I can finally be discharged!”

“Yay! Mommy can finally go home!” Davian and Irvin were jumping and yelling happily around Joanna.

Bruce carried Joanna into a wheelchair and said, “Be careful!”

Bruce suggested, “Let’s go back to the Reagan No. 8 Residence now.

“From now on, you and the kids can live there.”

Hearing Bruce’s suggestion, Joanna frowned, thinking, “I don’t want to stay in the Everett family’s residence

anymore!”

Thus, Joanna said, “Bruce, I think it’s better for me to return to my place.”

Bruce said, “Absolutely no. Your place is small and poorly furnished. It’s better to go back to the Reagan No. 8

Residence. You and the kids can live together!”

Joanna lowered her eyes and did not retort again.

Joanna thought, “I can only take one step at a time. If I reject Bruce, I don’t know what he will do!”

Bruce pushed Joanna’s wheelchair and left the hospital.

Davian walked on the left side of the wheelchair while Irvin walked on the other side.

The entertainment journalists had been waiting in the underground parking lot for several days.

Many bodyguards were there to protect Bruce, Joanna, and the kids, but the entertainment journalists managed to

take photos of Bruce picking up

Joanna home.

On the same day, news broke out on the Internet.

[Mr. Everett personally picked up his ex–wife and took her home.]

[Mr. Everett plans to remarry his ex–wife. Miss Roxanne is going to be abandoned.]

People started their discussion on the Internet. “Oh, my god. is Mr. Everett really going to remarry his ex–wife?”

“Yeah. I heard that they’re living together!”

“Oh my! If so, isn’t Miss Roxanne abandoned?”

“You don’t say. How can Miss Roxanne compete with the scheming Miss Joanna?”

Soon, Roxanne and Ingrid also saw the news.

Roxanne and Ingrid were so angry when they saw the photos of Bruce picking up Joanna that they gritted their

teeth.

Roxanne was annoyed and started to cry. “Mom, what should we do? Joanna is really going to remarry Bruce!”

Roxanne thought, “I have waited for Bruce for six years. But in the end, I’m dumped by him.”

Ingrid comforted Roxanne, “Don’t worry. I’ll deal with it!”

Ingrid immediately called a few paparazzi she was familiar with.

Ingrid said. “Hello? Write some articles to slander Joanna now! Describe her so badly that she can never explain it.”

A person replied on the other end of the phone, “No problem.”

The next day, many articles defaming Joanna were published online.

All kinds of posts defaming Joanna went viral. Without exception, those posts all talked about how Joanna hooked up

with her brother–in–law!

People in Greyport had many entertainment news to read during those days.

Then they kept discussing Joanna online. “Wow. This Miss Joanna is really something!”

“That’s right. Mr. Everett even abandons Miss Roxanne for Miss Joanna! You know, Miss Roxanne is pregnant with

Mr. Everett’s child!”

“Joanna is so powerful. She must be the most scheming bitch in Greyport! Miss Roxanne is innocent. How can Miss

Roxanne be the opponent of

Joanna?”

“Wow. Rich people do live promiscuous lives! One is Bruce’s ex–wife, and the other is his current girlfriend. Most

importantly, the two of them are biological sisters!”

“Anyway, Joanna and Mr. Everett were divorced. Mr. Everett and Miss Roxanne are a couple! Joanna is breaking

them up!”

“Joanna is a third wheel. This is an irreversible fact!”

“You don’t say. Joanna can hook up with any man. Why does she have to seduce her brother–in–law?”

The public supported Roxanne and made Joanna become a notorious trend on the Internet.

Roxanne was discharged on the ninth day of the Christmas holidays.

On the day Roxanne was discharged from the hospital, a large group of entertainment journalists surrounded the

hospital entrance.

As soon as Roxanne appeared, the entertainment journalists rushed to hand over their microphones to Roxanne.

“Ms. Haynes, may I ask if you and Mr. Everett have broken up?”

“What about the child in your belly? When will Mr. Everett remarry your sister?”

“Wow!” Roxanne lost control of her emotions and cried out loud before the journalists.

Roxanne thought, “I want the public to see how miserable I am. Then everybody will know Joanna steals Bruce from

me!”

“Ms. Haynes, please calm down and say something!”

Roxanne cried so hard that she looked like she would break down any time. She replied, “Yes, Bruce has already

broken up with me!”

“He says he loves my sister, not me!

“My fiancé abandons me for my sister!

“However, I will still give birth to the baby in my belly. I wish Bruce and my sister a happy life.”

Roxanne’s words immediately became breaking news in Greyport.

Soon, all the news on the Internet was talking about how Joanna stole Bruce from her sister.

The public thought Roxanne was the victim. Thus, they all supported Roxanne.

No one in Greyport sent their blessings in the comment section of the news of Bruce and Joanna getting back

together. Instead, people wrote the

meanest sentences about it.

Everyone pointed their fingers at Joanna. After all, people sympathized with the weak, and Roxanne’s crying before

the cameras aroused everyone’s sympathy.

Joanna also saw the news.

The news and the comments gave Joanna a headache.

Joanna cried, “Bruce, I’ve told you. We can’t be together!”

Bruce said, “Joanna, don’t care what others say!”

Joanna had an emotional breakdown. She cried, “Bruce, I’m begging you. Stay away from me! I don’t want to take

the blame anymore!”

“Joanna, calm down!”

Joanna screamed, “I can’t calm down!

“I can’t stand people criticizing me like that!”

Bruce’s expression was solemn. He held Joanna’s shoulder and said, “Therefore, we must clarify the truth to the

public! And let those who attacked you suffer the consequences of their actions!

“Give me one more day!

“I’ll hold a press conference and explain everything!”

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Bruce decided to call Roxanne by himself.

“Hello?”

“Hi, Roxanne. It’s me,

Bruce.”

Roxanne sneered and said, “Bruce, I’m surprised to receive your call. You finally remembered me.

“I thought you were obsessed with Joanna and would never leave her.”

Bruce said gloomily, “Roxanne, I call you because I hope you can clarify everything to the media.

“Stop inciting people to attack Joanna!”

Hearing that, Roxanne gritted her teeth in anger. She shouted, “Clarify everything? Why should I? Everything I said

is the truth!

“My sister stole my fiancé! And now, I am an abandoned woman!”

Bruce asked, “Roxanne, do you have no idea what you have done?”
