The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 993

Soon, a week passed.

The police officially filed a case and began investigating the charges against Cassius one by one.

Sherane Bay Villa.

Joanna and Bruce soon found out.

In addition to killing Tim and embezzling his inheritance, Cassius was also suspected of many crimes. Each of them

was enough to sentence him to life imprisonment.

He would probably never be released from jail in this lifetime.

As for Jaydon and the others, they were detained for 15 days on suspicion of gang fight.

“Well done, Jay. Cassius probably won’t be able to make a comeback this time. When Jay comes out, he’ll be able to

take back what belongs to him.”

Joanna was still very gratified by this result.

Although Jaydon was detained for 15 days, it did not matter. After he came out, the assets under his name could be

unfrozen.

Furthermore, according to Tim’s will, Jaydon would inherit the position of chairman of Grimm Group.

In other words, Jaydon became a billion-dollar millionaire.

Of course, although the Grimms had abundant financial resources, they were too divided. In terms of strength, they

could not be compared to Everett Group

As Joanna spoke, she looked at Patricia.

After this period of careful care, Patricia’s illness had already recovered. Moreover, she had become much more

cheerful and lively.

“Patricia, your daddy is coming out in a few days. Shall we go pick him up then?”

The little girl blinked her big eyes as she hugged the rabbit doll and looked at Joanna adorably.

“Patricia, do you miss your daddy?” Joanna looked at the little girl with a warm smile.

The little girl did not answer and walked straight to Bruce’s side. Then, she took the initiative to cling onto his knee.

Patricia was only two years old and had autism.

Coupled with the fact that Jaydon had not been by her side to take care of her since she was young, she did not

have much concept of her father.

For the past few days, she had been staying in the Everett family. Davian, Lilia, and Devin all affectionately called

Bruce “Daddy” every day.

Therefore, Patricia also treated Bruce as her daddy.

Bruce was speechless. He looked at the little girl who climbed onto his lap in shock.

“Daddy…” The little girl said in a childish voice.

Joanna was especially surprised. “Oh my god, Patricia has spoken?

“The first person she called was you?”

Bruce’s eyebrows twitched. He sat incredibly still, unable to regain his senses for a long time.

Even if he was an unrivaled king who was decisive and domineering. However, in front of such a cute little girl, he

could not help but melt.

“Uh, I’m not your daddy,” Bruce said as he grabbed the little girl’s armpit and placed her on the sofa.

This little girl was indeed quite cute.

However, she was Jaydon’s daughter, the daughter of his love rival.

That was why he would not be too nice to her.

“Daddy.” The little girl blinked her big watery eyes and called out cutely.

When Bruce heard this, he became even crazier. “I told you, I’m not your daddy. Your daddy is a bastard…”

When Joanna heard this, her face darkened. She could not help but poke Bruce’s head. “She’s still a child. Why are

you so petty?”

“If she calls you daddy, just listen! Besides, I’ve already planned to acknowledge Patricia as my goddaughter. It’s

normal for her to call you godfather.”

“Oh no. Godfather doesn’t sound too good now,” Bruce replied resentfully.

Joanna turned her gaze back to the little girl. “Patricia, come and give your godmother a hug.”

“Besides, haven’t you always wanted a daughter? Now that Patricia is by our side, you can treat her as our

daughter.”

When Bruce heard this, he rolled his eyes resentfully. He did want a daughter, but he wanted his own daughter.

As for Patricia…

Patricia was someone else’s daughter. How could he like her?

Of course, this little girl was so cute, so he did not hate her.

The little girl shook her head at Joanna and leaned even more into Bruce’s arms. “No, I want Daddy to carry me.”

Joanna was even more surprised when she saw this.

The little girl hid in Bruce’s arms obediently and cutely, refusing to come down no matter what.

Children actually knew how to read people’s expressions and needed a sense of security.

Over the past few days, the little girl had already acknowledged Bruce as her “daddy”.

“Uh…” Bruce was helpless in the face of such a chubby girl.

“Patricia…” Devin also supported himself with a baby walker and walked over shakily to join in the fun.

Devin really liked Patricia.

“Yes, so you like Patricia.”

Devin took a toy and eagerly handed it to Patricia.

Patricia was more than a year older than Devin, so they played better together.

Of course, Davian and Irvin were six or seven years older than them and could no longer play with them.

“Patricia is quite interesting. She’s much cuter than her dog-like father.”

-Joanna replied angrily, “That’s right! She likes you so much. We might be

a family in the future.”

Bruce choked and looked at Joanna in horror.

“Joanna, what do you mean by that? I’m not a creepy pervert.”

In Greyport, there was a shocking news story that caused a sensation. It was about a sleazy and creepy middle-

aged man who liked little girls. He often coaxed little girls and said that he would take you to buy ice cream.

Then, he would bring the child to a place and do inappropriate things to them.

Therefore, Bruce was reminded of the pervert who liked underage girls.

Joanna was stunned for a moment before she reacted. “You’re overreacting.”

“What I mean is that Patricia might marry one of our three sons in the future.”

Joanna looked at Patricia. The more she looked at her, the more she liked her.

Davian and Irvin seemed to be a little too old for Patricia. After all, they were six years older than her.

Hayley was suitable. He was only a year younger than Patricia, so they were just right for each other.

Bruce raised his eyebrows and looked at the little girl carefully. “You mean, she might be our daughter-in-law?”

“That’s right! Patricia is so cute. She’s just right for our son.”

When Bruce heard this, he looked even more resistant. “In that case, wouldn’t that bastard Jaydon become in-laws

with us?”

“Yeah! What’s wrong?” Joanna smiled at him.

“Forget it! I don’t want to be in-laws with that bastard,” Bruce said as he resentfully carried Patricia to the side.

He did not hate Patricia.

However, he hated Jaydon.

Although he had helped Jaydon this time, this was a different matter.

This did not mean that he did not hate him anymore.

Now that he thought about how they might become in-laws in the future, Bruce felt terrible.

“Joanna, hurry up and send this child away.”

“Where are you sending her?”

Bruce pouted resentfully. “Of course I’ll send her to Jaydon.

“We’re not her parents. She can’t stay at our house forever, right?”

“Jay hasn’t been released from prison yet. Where are you going to let her go? Even if you want to send her away,

you have to wait for Jay to come out!”

10:171

Speaking of this, Joanna looked worried again. “I think it’s better to let Patricia stay in our house for a while.

“Jay is a grown man who doesn’t know how to take care of children. Look, Patricia has developed autism. We have

many children in our family. Patricia will slowly become cheerful when she lives with our children.”

“Sigh, you love to be idle, don’t you?”

Ring, ring, ring…

Bruce’s phone rang.

He subconsciously picked up his phone to check. The number showed that it was Melta.

Bruce frowned and stood up subconsciously. “I’m going to answer the call.”

With that, he walked out of the courtyard.

Seeing this, Joanna was a little puzzled. “Why does he have to answer the call outside?”

It was obvious that Bruce did not want Joanna to know who he was talking to on the phone.
