The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife

Chapter 94

The Neorace Group and the Skywinds Group approached us,” Joanna said. “I can’t just push away business that comes knocking at our door, can I?”

Upon hearing this, Bruce’s lips curved into a sinister smile. He stared at Joanna with a gloomy expression.

The loss of these two deals by the Everett Group was not a matter of concern.

Instead, the fact that Joanna had disrupted the market was a matter of concern.

Once news of this matter spread, it was bound to trigger a bigger butterfly effect.

Therefore, he must take action to stop it in time. He could not tolerate such market–disrupting behavior.

“What do you think you’re doing now?” Bruce said. “Trying to undermine me and my business?”

As Bruce spoke, he menacingly walked a few steps closer to Joanna.

His tall and burly figure shrouded Joanna in shadow.

Joanna’s heart skipped a beat. She involuntarily took two steps backward.

“I really didn’t know that the Neorace Group and the Skywinds Group planned to sign contracts with the Everett Group,” Joanna said.

“Hmph, you didn’t know, huh?” Bruce said as he laughed coldly.

Joanna took another step backward and said, “Alright! So what if I know?

“Partnerships mean you can collaborate with whoever you want. You can’t monopolize the market…”

Joanna, you’ve got guts!” Bruce said.

He then continued, “You dumb woman. Do you know the consequences of your actions?

The consequences of your actions will only disrupt the market! Other companies will follow suit and take advantage of the situation to compete maliciously!”

When Joanna heard those remarks, she could not help but sneer. She said. “It’s reasonable to compare offers from different companies before deciding on a partnership.

“The Everett Group has monopolized the market for so many years. It’s time to promote fair competition. You can’t be so domineering!”

In the entire Greyport, probably only Joanna had criticized Bruce for monopolizing the market.

Bruce’s face was extremely gloomy.

He was already close to Joanna. He reached out and pinched her chin. It was as if he was going to tear her apart in the next second!

“Joanna, I’ll give you one last chance!” Bruce said. “Cancel the collaboration and I’ll pretend that nothing happened!”

Joanna was cornered. Her heart was pounding rapidly.

However, these two deals represented the profits that the Haynes Group could make this year.

In the past few months, the Haynes Group had been continuously losing money. Without these two deals to make the Haynes Group would not only have no profit this year but also suffer losses.

for it,

In particular, she had signed a betting agreement with Bruce. No matter what, she could not give up on these two deals.

That’s impossible,” Joanna said. “The contract has already taken effect. It’s impossible to withdraw from the contract now.”

“I’ll ask you one last time, Bruce said. “Will you give up on the deals?”

“Impossible!” Joanna said.

Bruce twitched his lips. A flash of anger appeared in his eyes.

Joanna tried to calm down her inner panic and kept her gaze as calm as possible.

In the next second, Bruce loosened his tie and kissed her fiercely.

“Ah.”

“What are you doing?” Joanna said. “Let go of me!”

“Joanna, I’m going to teach you a lesson today!” Bruce said.

With that, Bruce grabbed her wrist and lifted her up like she was a little chick.

Then, he threw her fiercely onto the conference table.

Joanna’s lower back was hit hard. It was so painful that she almost fainted. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“Bruce, don’t mess around,” Joanna said. “Ah…”

Before she could finish talking, she looked like a prey that had been pounced on by a beast.

Bruce was particularly manic today.

The pent–up anger he had felt for the past few days, coupled with what happened today, made him full of rage.

He did not hold back at all.

Joanna frantically struggled and tried to shout for someone to come in. “Someone please comes in!” she said.

Unfortunately, before she could shout, her throat was grabbed by Bruce.

“Uh. Cough…”

She was unable to make a sound at all.

“If you make any more noise, I’ll strangle you to death!” Bruce said viciously.

He tore her shirt in an instant…

An hour later, Bruce was satisfied with having taught Joanna a lesson.

He straightened his suit and regained his usual dignified and elegant demeanor, completely different from the violent and aggressive attitude he had just displayed.

Joanna curled up on the sofa, looking disheveled and distressed. She was trembling uncontrollably,

Her whole body was covered in bruises, with drops of sweat sticking her hair to her face, making her look like she had just been pulled out of a swimming pool.

He was ruthless to begin with.

When he was angry, he would be even more ruthless.

He wished he could kill her just now.

Bruce gave Joanna a cold glance and walked straight out of the conference room’s door.

Outside the conference room. Mr. Roger, Mr. Paul, and others were still waiting, afraid to leave.

Upon seeing Bruce walking out of the conference room, everyone’s face showed a strange expression.

Obviously, everyone had heard the sounds in the conference room just now.

“Mr. Everett, are you leaving?” Mr. Paul said, smiling awkwardly as he greeted Bruce.

Bruce walked away with a cold face, leaving the others behind.

“What should we do? Quick, let’s go in to check on Miss Haynes.”

Cora and Luna quickly entered the conference room.

The two of them took a look. They could not help but feel frightened.

Joanna was covered in torn clothes. She could be seen curling up on the sofa and trembling. Her fair neck was covered in bite marks, and the deepest one was almost bleeding.

Cora quickly took off her coat and covered Joanna with it.

“Miss Haynes, let me send you to the hospital,” Cora said.

“Cora, get me a set of clothes,” Joanna said.

“Miss Haynes, you, um. I had better send you to the hospital,” Cora said.

Tears rolled down from the corners of Joanna’s eyes. “It’s okay,” she said. “Get me a set of clothes. Go do your own things.”

“Miss Haynes…”

“Get out of here,” Joanna said.

Cora and Luna frowned. They left the conference room again.

“How’s Miss Haynes?”

Cora said coldly, “Go back to your respective work desk. Don’t ask about things that you shouldn’t ask!”

The high–level executives no longer dared to ask any questions. Thurriedly returned to their respective work desks.

However, based on the intense screaming from Joanna just now, everyone could imagine what had happened.

Nonetheless, no one dared to meddle in this matter.

After a while, Joanna struggled to go to the washroom.

She turned on the tap and allowed the cold water to drench her. Tears of humiliation flowed down her face along with the cold water.

“You’re so ruthless to me, Bruce,” Joanna said. “I’ll never forget it for the rest of my life.

“In this lifetime, I will never reconcile with you!”

Twenty minutes later, Cora brought over a set of clean clothes.

Joanna was done showering. She looked numb and emotionally detached.

Cora asked, “Miss Haynes, are you sure you don’t need to go to the hospital?

“Maybe you should go home and take a rest.”

“It’s okay,” Joanna said. “I’ll just do whatever that needs to be done.”

When Cora heard this, she was even more moved. She was also a little heartbroken.

Cora thought, “Miss Haynes is really tough!

“Other women would have broken down long ago if faced with such an incident.”

Bruce left the Haynes Group.

He got into the car, ready to go back to the Everett Group.

In the car, Bruce casually lit a cigarette, appearing completely expressionless.

However, when he recalled the scene earlier, he felt a little regretful.

He thought he should not have treated Joanna so cruelly.

Unfortunately, this damn woman also had a stubborn temper. From the beginning to the end, she refused to give in.

He would have been kinder to her if she had begged him.

“Mr. Everett, how do you plan to resolve the issues with the Neorace Group and the Skywinds Group?”
