Chapter 37 Return Of Ex-wife

• Joanna looked even more stunning than a celebrity on TV. It didn’t look like she was holding a press conference. This was clearly a demonstration. Roxanne was upset and felt more anxious than ever. Ever since Joanna came back, Bruce had been treating her more coldly. “Mom, look at Joanna’s smug face! Do something! Don’t let her get so cocky!” Ingrid swallowed heavily, snorted, and swore, “Relax. Let her think that she has had her way first. Her plummet awaits her in a couple of days. By the way, have you been in touch with Mr. Everett in the past two days?” Roxanne’s eyes darkened when she heard that. Bruce hadn’t called her in two days. Roxanne sighed exasperatedly. “Why the frustration? You should strike while the iron is hot. In case of any undesirable complication, the matter between you and Mr. Everett shouldn’t be put off any longer. If we keep stalling, I don’t know what’s going to happen!”
• Resignedly, Roxanne retorted with gritted teeth, “What can I do? Surely, I can’t beg him to marry me?” Ingrid listened and poked her daughter in the forehead. “You are so stupid, forget it! I’m so smart. Why did I give birth to such a stupid daughter? If you were half as good as I am, you wouldn’t be so bad at dealing with a man for so long!” “Why don’t you propose to him yourself since you’re this tough? What’s the use of blaming me here?” Roxanne said and stormed upstairs. “Look at yourself! You sure have a way when it comes to dealing with me!” Ingrid rolled her eyes. “I’ll go propose to him myself. You’re useless! You even need your mom to do something this trivial for you!” Since Shaun stepped down as Chairman, the Haynes family seemed to have fallen out of the Greyport elite circle overnight. Besides that, the marriage of Bruce and Roxanne kept on getting postponed. Ingrid and Roxanne had been shunned out of the socialite gatherings.
• Now, if they still wanted to gain back their glory as one of the riches and elites, Roxanne would have to marry into the Everett family as soon as possible. All the ladies would definitely change their impressions of them if Roxanne successfully got married. into the Everett family. Ingrid preened herself and decided to meet Bruce in person. She had decided to fight tooth and nail to keep Bruce as her son–in–law. Ingrid showed up downstairs at Everett Corporation after one hour. Her heart thumped as she looked at the towering skyscraper in front of her. This was the tallest and most luxurious business building in Greyport. It was also where Bruce worked daily. Ingrid’s heart beat with excitement whenever she envisioned her daughter being the lady boss here. in the future. “Well, wait till my daughter gets married into the Everett family! Mrs. Paul, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Roger, I will make you guys lick my feet!” Ingrid fastened her sling bag and put on her sunglasses. Then, she strode confidently like a model into Everett Corporation’s building. She was wearing a rose red hugging dress today and a big little vintage ruffle hat.
