Bruce sneered. “I will get to the bottom of it!
“Whoever dares to hurt Joanna is having an issue with me! Those who have issues with me will have a hard time ahead!”
When Roxanne heard that, she subconsciously staggered and almost fell to the ground!
“Keep an eye on her, all of you! Before the truth is revealed, you’re not allowed to leave Sherane Bay Villa or get in contact with anyone!
“Take her phone!”
“Yes, Mr. Everett!”
The bodyguard responded, grabbed Roxanne’s bag, and took her phone out.
“Ms. Haynes, please return to your room!”
Roxanne was freaked out. “Bruce, I have to go home now. I want to go home and see my parents! Christmas is coming. You can’t do this to me!”
“When I find out the truth and know you have nothing to do with it, I will let you go!
“Now, behave yourself and stay in your room as told! You’d better wish Joanna would be safe and that this has nothing to do with you!” Bruce said as he turned around coldly and walked down the stairs with his long legs. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
“Bruce! Bruce…
Two bodyguards stepped forward and seized Roxanne by the arms!
They dragged her back to her room!
Then they locked the door with a crack.
After Roxanne was locked in the room, she couldn’t be more frightened and panicked!
“What should I do? Oh God! What should I do now?”
Roxanne brushed her hair in frustration. She had no choice but to call for help!
The bodyguards had taken away her daily phone. Fortunately, she had a spare phone..
Roxanne hurriedly found the backup phone. This was the phone she used to contact Gavin privately. It looked like a piece of delicate lipstick on the surface, but it was a hidden phone inside.
At this time, she could only ask Ingrid for help!
Beep!
Ingrid’s phone rang again. Seeing that it was an unknown number, she picked it up impatiently. “Hello, who is it?”
“Mom, it’s me!” Roxanne’s voice was so low that it was trembling!
“What now?”
“Someone hired a killer to kill Joanna! Did you know it or not?”
Ingrid rolled her eyes and replied impatiently. “Jesus! Why are you asking me again?”
Roxanne sniffled and said with a sobbing tone. “Mom. I… I might be in big trouble!”
It blew Ingrid away when she heard it. “What are you talking about?”
“I…” Roxanne was so scared that she couldn’t stop crying. She was also afraid that her phone would be monitored, so she didn’t dare to tell Ingrid over the phone!

Ingrid was anxious to hear Roxanne crying her heart out. “What did do? Come on. Tell me now!”
“Mom, I’ve been locked up in Sherane Bay Villa! Bruce has grounded me!”
“What?” Ingrid looked around uneasily.
“I’m locked in my room now! I can’t go anywhere!”
“Why?”
“I…” Roxanne sniffled again and cried until she was out of breath.
Bruce suspected that she had hired someone to kill Joanna. He might also find out the truth of Margaret’s death.
As far as she knew Bruce, he would probably kick her family out of Greyport if he learned the truth.
“Please stop crying. Roxy. What happened? Tell me!”
“I can’t tell you over the phone now, Mom. Anyway, remember one thing. Tell people you’ve been keeping the Richmoren. bank card for me!
“I’ve made two transfers from the account some time ago. One transfer was one million dollars, and the other was two million dollars. If Bruce asked you about that, cover it up with excuses and tell him you used the money!”
Hearing her words, Ingrid’s eyes widened, and her heart began to race.
It looked like something tricky!
“Come on, sweetie. What trouble are you in? Please tell me. You’re getting me to worry sick!”
Roxanne could not help but cry again. “Mom, please stop asking. Anyway, I regret it so much!
“I can’t explain it over the phone. I’ll tell you the whole thing when we meet face–to–face later!”
Ingrid was worried and comforted Roxanne immediately. “Oh, okay! Are you alright?”
“Mom, I’m so scared now, I don’t know what to do.”
“What exactly have you done?” Ingrid couldn’t help but ask again.
“In short, it’s something serious. If Bruce finds out, I’ll be in jail for the rest of my life!”
What the hell!,
When Ingrid heard that, her face turned deadly pale. She suspected that Roxanne had also hired someone to kill Joanna. What a silly girl! How could she be so impatient?
Even if someone had to do something like that, Ingrid thought it should be her. After all, she had lived for half her life, so it
was worth it.
“Mom, please figure out something to get me out of here as soon as possible! I want to go home.”
“Okay! Don’t panic! I’m leaving for Sherane Bay Villa with your father to pick you up!”
B
“Okay!”
After saying that, Roxanne hung up the phone instantly!
After she hung up, Ingrid was so flustered that her hair stood on end. She’d got too many cosmetic injections on her face, and her facial nerves were twitching uncoordinatedly!
“Joanna, you goddamn bitch! You’ve messed up all our lives!“.
Shaun happened to come downstairs and heard Ingrid cursing. He frowned. “What happened? Why are you cursing Joann again?”
Ingrid gritted her teeth, put her hands on her waist, and shouted at Shaun harshly, “Roxy just called me and said that she was. locked up by that bastard Bruce!”
Shaun was stunned to hear that. “What? Bruce has locked Roxy up? For what?”
“What else can it be? It’s all because of that slut Joanna!”
“What is it that Joann has to do with that?”
“Huh! You mean I’ve wronged her? She’s a scourge from the beginning to the end! Thanks to her, our lives are messed up!
“God! It’s unfair! She should have incurable cancer and die with a rotten body!” Ingrid wished she could curse Joanna with the meanest words.
Shaun heard it and was in a dilemma!
Although he also hated Joanna’s guts, he was still her father and didn’t want Joanna to die.
“Listen to yourself! Don’t you think you’re being too mean?”
“Oh? You said I’m being too mean? If it weren’t for her, Mr. Everett and Roxy wouldn’t have ended up like this!
“If it weren’t for her, the Haynes family wouldn’t have been excluded from the circle of rich people and looked down upon!”
Shaun shook his head and sighed. “I’ve told you Bruce doesn’t love Roxy at all. The best choice for Roxy is to break up with him!
“But you and Roxy didn’t take my advice. Instead, you two messed around and asked for trouble yourselves.”
When Ingrid heard that, she hit the ceiling. “What’s wrong with you? Your daughter is bullied. As her father, you are not thinking of standing up for her!
“On the contrary, you’re even criticizing her. Are you out of your mind?”
“Fine! You won.”
“Come with me. We’re going to Sherane Bay Villa to bring Roxy back!”
“Alright!” Shaun replied helplessly.
They dared not to delay and hurriedly drove to Sherane Bay Villa.
Forty minutes later, Shaun and Ingrid arrived at Sherane Bay Villa in his car.
