The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife

Chapter 242

Unfortunately, the guards stopped them and refused point–blank to let them in.

Ingrid’s patience was running thin. Exasperatedly, she jabbed her finger in one of the guards‘ faces and snapped. “Do you know who you’re talking to?”

“We’re Mr. Everett’s future in–laws! We’re here to see our daughter. Let us inside immediately!”

The guard’s expression was grim. Tm sorry. Mr. Everett has instructed that no one can enter Sherane Bay Villa

“That’s right! Without Mr. Everett’s orders, no one is allowed to go out,” another guard said politely.

“Are you guys blind? You don’t even know us? Open the door quickly, or I’ll get Bruce to fire you.”

“Mr. Haynes, Mrs. Haynes, why don’t you call Mt. Everett? We will only dare to let you in if Mr. Everett gives us his explicit permission!

“Without his approval, I’m afraid none of us have the courage to disobey his orders.

When Ingrid and Shaun heard this, their faces turned ashen with anger.

They had been to Sherane Bay Villa several times before, and the security guards had always welcomed them with smiles!

But now, they were not even allowed to enter!

“Hubby, hurry up and call Bruce! Tell Bruce to fire these two security guards!” Although Ingrid was now a wealthy lady, she lacked the graces of a true socialite. In many ways, she still resembled a country bumpkin.

Shaun had no choice. He took out his phone and gave Bruce a call.

Beep, beep, beep!

Bruce’s phone rang.

He took out his phone and saw that it was a call from Shaun.

Bruce gazed at his phone in silence for a few seconds before picking up. “Hello?”

“Bruce, it’s me!”

“What is it?”

Shaun sighed helplessly. “Well, it’s nearly Christmas soon. I want to bring Roxy home for the holidays.

“I’ve arrived at Sherane Bay Villa, but the guards refused to let me in! Give your orders and get them to let me into the house. Alternatively, let Roxy come out!”

When Bruce heard this, he frowned. “I’m afraid that won’t do!”

“Why?” Shaun was surprised. He did not expect such a curt reply from Bruce.

“She’s involved in a murder case.”

When Shaun heard this, he was so angry that he nearly choked. “Bruce, what sort of nonsense are you sprouting? Roxy has been with you for six years. How can you slander her like this?

“You know best what sort of person she is. How can you accuse her of committing murder?” Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

“Don’t worry, I’ll investigate thoroughly. If she didn’t do it, I won’t wrong her!

“For now, she can only remain in Sherane Bay Villa. Don’t worry, I will get the servants to tend to her every need. She will be very comfortable.”

When Shaun heard this, he flew into another bout of rage. “Bruce, you’d better let Roxy out now! She’s pregnant, and your conflicts with each other are bound to distress her!

“Let her come back to my place for a few days. I’ll take responsibility if anything happens.”

“No way!” Bruce refused without hesitation.

Shaun was fuming by now. “Watch yourself, Bruce. I don’t care if Roxy has done something wrong.

“At the end of the day, it’s her parents‘ job to discipline her. Even without us, there’s the justice system and the police! It’s certainly not your place to do so.

“What are you trying to do by restricting Roxy’s personal freedom like this?”

Bruce frowned when he heard that.

He had instructed the bodyguards to confiscate Roxanne Haynes’s phone. How did Shaun and his wife know about Roxanne’s situation?

It seemed that Roxanne was hiding another phone.

“I don’t want to explain too much to you. I just want to clear things up!

“She’s my daughter. I have the right to make her come back!

“If she doesn’t come back, I’ll call the police…”

Beep!

Before Shaun could finish his sentence, Bruce hung up!

“Hello, hello…” Shaun yelped a few times, but he was only greeted with static.

No one could stop Bruce Everett from doing whatever he wanted! Even the president had to give him some face, let alone the chief superintendent of the police force.

“How is it?” Ingrid asked urgently.

Shaun looked furious. “He hung up!”

He was so angry that he had to take two deep breaths to calm himself down. He couldn’t help but feel a little worried.

From the looks of it, this incident was quite serious. There was more to this than a petty argument between a young couple.

“Call the police! There’s nothing we can do now!”

When Ingrid heard this, she stopped him immediately. “You can’t call the police!”

“Why?” Shaun looked at his wife in confusion.

Ingrid rolled her eyes, feeling as though her head was about to explode.

She couldn’t let the police know about this matter. There was no way they could call the police for assistance.

Roxanne had told her on the phone that she had gotten into big trouble and had to hide from the police. How could Ingrid dare to take the initiative to call the police?

Seeing Ingrid’s abnormal reaction, Shaun was even more baffled.

“We have no choice but to call the police! Why are you so afraid?”

“Oh, if we call the police, we’ll fall out completely with Mr. Everett! It’s better… to settle this matter privately!”

“Besides, it’s not worth it to break those two up over such a small matter!”

“Gosh, you’re still thinking about this at a time like this! Then what do you think we should do?”

Ingrid was also at a loss. “I don’t know either!”

The two of them were worried and flustered.

The guard tactlessly leaned forward and asked, “Mr. Haynes, Mrs. Haynes, what did Mr. Everett say?”
