The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna) novel Chapter 146

Chapter 146

“Oh! Mr. Everett…” Andy was cut off by Bruce.

“Don’t you understand what I’m saying? I want Joanna to become bankrupt within a year, do you hear me?” asked Bruce.

Andy answered meekly, “Oh, okay! Yes, I heard you!”

“Call the Stark Group immediately and ask them to withdraw their cooperation with the Haynes Group. I want to cut off the Haynes Group’s source of

supply, Bruce added angrily.

“All right. I’ll make the call now!” Andy replied.

Very soon, Andy made the call to the Stark Group.

This time, Bruce was determined.

 

 

 

He was going to completely destroy Joanna’s career!

After returning to Greyport, Bruce called for a meeting with his higher-level executives.

He busied himself until past nine at night.

After Roxanne called him three times, Bruce finally went home.

At the Sherane Bay Villa.

When Bruce entered, Roxanne was already waiting at the door.

“Bruce, you’re back,” she said.

“Yeah,” Bruce replied in a mu ffled voice.

Roxanne had an ingratiating expression on her face as she said gently, “Bruce, are you tired? I’ve already run you a bath.

“Go and take a bath!”

Bruce replied coldly, “There’s no need for that. I’ll just shower before sleeping.”

The smile on Roxanne’s face vanished. “Then… why don’t you eat first? I’ve already cooked! The dishes have been heated up both times.”

“Okay,” Bruce replied calmly.

Following that, Bruce went upstairs to change his clothes. He washed his hands before returning to the dining room to eat.

Meanwhile, inside the restaurant.

Roxanne had painstakingly made five dishes and a soup. She was even considerate enough to cover the dishes with plate covers to prevent them from getting cold.

“There’s steamed fish and prawns today…” said Roxanne.

Bruce made a sound of acknowledgment and did not say anything else. He picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

When she saw Bruce eating in big mouthfuls, a smile appeared on Roxanne’s face. “Does it taste okay?” she asked.

“Yup. It tastes okay!” Bruce replied calmly and ate a few more mouthfuls of rice.

“Bruce, are you unhappy?” Roxanne asked.

 

 

 

“No!” Bruce answered.

“But you look unhappy,” said Roxanne.

Bruce frowned. “I’m not unhappy. I’m just too tired!”

“Then I’ll give you a massage later…” Roxanne said.

“There’s no need. I’m very tired today and want to sleep early… I’m already full. Enjoy your meal,” Bruce said.

With that, Bruce put down his chopsticks and stood up to go upstairs.

“Bruce, you’ve only eaten so little. Eat more!” Roxanne urged.

“I’m so tired today that I don’t have much of an appetite! Don’t cook anymore in the future. Just let the ser vants cook!” Bruce said.

With that, he went straight upstairs.

Roxanne stood rooted to the ground with an awkward and disappointed look on her face.

Bruce was too perfunctory! Roxanne found his cold attitude unbearable!

Bruce returned to his room.

 

 

 

 

He did not even bother to take a shower and immediately lay in bed.

Bruce was seething with anger. He was fuming, so naturally, he was in no mood to coax Roxanne.

Hence, he appeared even more cold and perfunctory than usual.

Downstairs, Roxanne could not help but s o b.

In the blink of an eye, one hour passed.

Bruce got some sleep. After he woke up, he could not fall back asleep.

Thus, Bruce decided to go downstairs and take a breather in the courtyard.

As soon as he went downstairs, he saw that Roxanne was still in the living room and not yet asleep.

Bruce looked at his watch. It was almost midnight!

“It’s so late. Why aren’t you asleep yet?” he asked.

When Roxanne heard Bruce’s voice, she quickly turned around and wiped the corners of her eyes with a tissue!

Bruce strolled to her side and realized that the trash can was already filled with used tissues.

Roxanne’s eyes were red and swollen. It seemed like she had been crying for a long time.

“What’s wrong? Why are you crying?” Bruce’s expression turned cold. He quickly sat down on the sofa and put one arm around her shoulders.

 

 

 

 

“I-it’s nothing!” Roxanne sobbed and wiped away her tears again.

“Tell me what’s wrong. Is there something upsetting you?” Bruce asked with concern.

Roxanne was currently emotionally unstable, so Bruce was afraid that she would try to commit suicide again. Therefore, most of the time, Bruce spoke to Roxanne in a gentle and concerned tone.

“If there’s anything you’re unhappy about, you can tell me!” Bruce said.

Chapter 146

“No, nothing…” Although Roxanne said that there was nothing, she had a plaintive expression on her face.

Bruce paused for a moment before he said, “I’ll get someone to accompany you shopping tomorrow. You can buy whatever you want!”
