Chapter 290
“Joanna, you unfilial daughter. Get out here! I’m going to take you down with me…”
Cora hurriedly ran out to take a look. Then she said, “Miss Haynes, it’s Mr. Haynes causing trouble.”
“What?” Joanna furrowed her brows, wearing an extremely displeased expression on her face.
Shaun was at the entrance of the exhibition hall.
Shaun had a huge sign hanging around his neck. On it were the words “Shameless Joanna” written in red ink.
He was holding a loudspeaker in his hand and cursing Joanna loudly.
Someone asked, “Who is this person? Is he crazy?”
Then another one answered, “I think it’s Miss Haynes’s father.”
“What? No way!”
Joanna hurried out. Then she asked, “Dad, what are you doing?”
After seeing Joanna, Shaun pointed at her nose and scolded, “You unfilial daughter. Don’t call me Dad. You’re a jinx. I won’t acknowledge you as my daughter!”
“Dad, stop fooling around…”
Shaun continued, “Get lost. How could I give birth to a wretch like you? Do you know that you’ve harmed Roxy badly?
“Our entire family has been harmed by you. You’re a jinx. Everyone, come and take a look. This is the bitch who seduced her brother–in–law and drove her sister crazy.”
His words sparked a lively discussion among the crowd.
“Oh,
my God. Is it true?”
The online streamers and media present were shocked.
Joanna’s face turned pale. And she almost gasped for breath.
She never expected her father to come to the trade fair and ruin her reputation in such a way.
And the flashlights of the media went off in a frenzy. They captured a series of intense shots of Shaun.
The popularity of the internet celebrities‘ live streaming rooms skyrocketed instantly.
“What’s going on? A battle between father and daughter?”
“I don’t know. It’s so fierce.”
“What’s the grudge between them? Why does this father subject his daughter to such a devastating blow?”
The security guards quickly came over to maintain order and tried to pull Shaun away from the scene. “Sir, please don’t cause
trouble here!”
Shaun shouted, “Get out of my way. And let’s see who dares to stop me today! Whoever tries to hinder me, I’m determined to take
Joanna down with me!
“Everyone, gather around and witness! Joanna is a jinx who specializes in harming her own family. What sins did I commit in my previous life to give birth to a jinx like you?”
* Joanna trembled with anger and said, “Dad, have you had enough of this commotion?
“Take him away!”
The security guards no longer hesitated. They grabbed Shaun’s arms and wanted to drag him out.
“Don’t touch me! Joanna, go to hell! Why aren’t you the one who went crazy? You caused Roxy to become like this. You shouldn’t have lived,” Shaun shouted.
After hearing that, Joanna was speechless. She was so angry that she could not say anything. And she felt like she had been hit by a thousand arrows in the heart.
“Hurry up and leave this place. Don’t cause trouble again.”
Shaun could not break free, and he was getting more and more agitated.
Then he had a heart attack and slumped to the ground. “Ugh…”
“Mr. Haynes. Mr. Haynes!”
Shaun, who already had hypertension and heart disease, had a sudden episode when he got overly emotional.
“Call an ambulance and send Mr. Haynes to the hospital!”
The chaos in front of her made Joanna’s mind go blank. She was dumbfounded.
Cora and Michael quickly called the ambulance.
It was very soon.
Shaun was sent to the hospital.
Roxanne was now hospitalized in a mental hospital. Ingrid was in jail. Moreover, Derick and Ryan were not by Shaun’s side.
Joanna could only wait in the hospital.
The carefully prepared trade fair was ruined by Shaun just like that..
Then an hour had passed.
The doctor walked out of the operating room.
Joanna immediately came over and asked, “Doctor, how’s the patient?”
“The patient’s condition is very bad. Hypertension has caused a cerebral infarction. He can’t handle any more stress. Otherwise, he might be paralyzed for the rest of his life.”
After hearing this, Joanna felt a sudden jolt beneath her feet.
“Please do your best to save my father!”
“Don’t worry. We’ll do our best.”
The doctor didn’t say anything else and then went into the office.
Joanna blinked and tears rolled down her face.
At this moment, she truly felt a sense of numbness.
Cora comforted her and said, “Miss Haynes, don’t worry too much. Mr. Haynes will definitely be fine.”
“Well. Let’s leave it to fate,” Joanna replied and sighed in despair. Then she sat on the hospital chair in a daze.
She really did not want to have anything to do with her father after what he had done to her.
“How about accompanying him in the hospital today?”
Joanna shook her head and replied, “I’ll call Derick and ask him to come over. Let him take care of it.”
Then Joanna took out her phone and dialed Derick’s number.
Joanna called Derick directly.
“Hey…”
“Hello, Derick. It’s me, Joanna.”
Derick’s fierce voice immediately came from the other end of the phone. “Well. Why are you calling me?”
-Joanna said coldly, “Dad is hospitalized. Come to the hospital quickly.”
“What did you say?”
“I said that Dad is in the hospital. Come to the hospital quickly to take care of him.”
Derick was on a date with a B–list celebrity. When he heard Joanna’s call, he was extremely unhappy.
10:53
Unfortunately, Ryan was still in school. Derick was now the pillar of the family. Then he asked, “Why is Dad hospitalized? Where is Dad now?” NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
“Don’t ask so much. Dad is at the Northshore Hospital in Porash now. Come over quickly.”
With that, Joanna hung up.
She had done what she had to do. Since her father did not want her to be his daughter, she did not want to put in any more effort.
Then Cora asked, “Miss Haynes, why don’t you go back first? I’ll just wait here.
“When Mr. Derick comes over later, I’m afraid he’ll cause a scene with you again.”
Joanna’s face was gloomy and tired. She replied, “Just let him do whatever he wants.”
An hour and a half had passed.
Derick rushed over.
As soon as they met, Derick immediately cursed, “Joanna, what did you do to Dad?
“You damn bitch. Not only did you harm our family, but you also even caused Dad to be hospitalized.”
Derick cursed as he flew into a rage. He looked like he wanted to fight Joanna.
Cora quickly stepped forward to stop him. “Mr. Haynes, please calm down.”
“I’ll calm down. I just want to know what she did to Dad. Joanna, if anything happens to Dad, I won’t let you off!”
Then a crisp sound rang out.
Joanna could not take it anymore and slapped Derick in the face.
Derick was stunned by the slap. He looked at Joanna in surprise and horror as if he wanted to tear her apart.
“Joanna, how dare you hit me?”
Joanna looked at Derick with a cold and gloomy expression. “Don’t curse at me.”
“You’re courting death!”
Derick was instantly enraged. He rushed over and attacked Joanna.
Joanna was even more furious. She swung the bag in her hand and smashed it crazily at Derick. Then several loud thuds could be
heard.
Derick was caught off guard by the blows and struggled to defend himself.
Joanna had at least practiced female self–defense for a few years. Derick was thin and weak. Coupled with the fact that he was always hanging out with women, he was as weak as a sick chicken.
With a plop, he lost his balance and was actually smashed to the ground by Joanna.
“Joanna, I’ll fucking kill you!” Derick got up again and prepared to fight Joanna to the death.
Joanna glared at Derick coldly and said angrily, “Derick, don’t go too far. I still have evidence that you harmed my son.
“If you keep yelling at me, do you believe that I’ll send you to jail?”
When Derick heard this, his arrogance instantly weakened.
Joanna had already disowned her family. If she was really forced into a corner, she would definitely present the evidence of him persecuting Irvin to the police.
Then he would probably go to jail.
“Alright. Joanna, you have guts.” Derick gritted his teeth and put away his overbearing attitude.
“From now on, we’ll never see each other again. Don’t come and see Dad again!”
Then Joanna replied, “That’s great. You’d better remember what you said. No one wants to interact with you.
“Also, tell Mr. Shaun that my father–daughter relationship with him ends here. If he comes looking for trouble with me again, I won’t

be polite,” Joanna said and turned to leave.
Cora quickly followed.
This time, Joanna was really angry.
In the past, even if her father said that he wanted to sever their father–daughter relationship, in her heart, he was still her father.
Now, it seemed that there was no need for her to maintain their father–daughter relationship.
“Miss Haynes, where are we going now? Back to the factory or back to Greyport?”
“How’s it going at the trade fair?” Joanna asked.
“Nicholas and Michael are still dealing with issues there. I heard that there are many media outlets around now. Miss Haynes, it’s better for you not to show up at this time.”
“How about going back to Greyport first? Let’s go back and discuss the marketing plan,” Joanna said.
