The following day
Ingrid accompanied Roxanne to the maternity and children care center!
Bruce’s semen had already been frozen! Roxanne also began to do various tests and got her hormone
injections!
As long as the ovulation was successful, artificial insemination could be carried out!
“Mom, are we really going to do this?” Roxanne still couldn’t make up her mind.
Ingrid sneered. “Silly girl, we have already come this far. Is there any room for regret?”
“Now, you can’t retreat even a little, no matter what! Even if you die, you have to die as a part of the
Everett family!”
On Joanna’s side, she had also begun to look for lawyers to prepare for the lawsuit!
She had just found a lawyer. But before she could sue the Everett family, she had already received a
summon letter from the court.
The lawyer hired by the Everett family also looked for her for a final negotiation.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Joanna’s phone rang
“Hello!” Joanna answered the call.
“Hello, Ms. Haynes. I’m Jameson, the Everett family’s lawyer!
“Margaret Everett entrusted me to conduct a final communication and negotiation with you regarding
the children’s custody!”
When Joanna heard this, she took a deep breath. “Speak!”
Mr. Jameson paused for a moment and said in a deep voice, “What Margaret means is to give you 40
million dollars to give up the children’s custody!”
“Of course! Your daughter can stay by your side. The Everett family only wants custody of the two
boys. That’s fairer!”
“Heh!” Joanna could not help but sneer.
“Please tell Margaret that no matter what, I will not give up custody of the children!”
“Ms. Haynes, you have to think carefully about the consequences of going against the Everett family.
The outcome is very disadvantageous to you. It’s very likely that you won’t get anything. I advise you to
consider accepting the Everett family’s monetary compensation!”
Joanna sneered. “The Everett family has a big business power indeed. But do they think they can bully
me because of this?”
“I don’t agree to the negotiation. Report to Margaret that everything will be carried out according to the
legal process!”
“In that case, we can only follow the normal procedure!”
Soon!
Joanna also hired a lawyer and sent a lawyer’s letter to the Everett family.
“Hello, I’m Brycen!”
“Hello!”
“I’m Ms. Haynes’s lawyer!

“You’ve already detained Ms. Haynes’s children. This is already illegal imprisonment! If you want to file
a lawsuit, we’ll be willing to meet you at the court
at any time!
“We will do our best to protect our rights and interests. The Everett family will have to pay the price for
this and bear the children’s support fees for many
years…”
The two top lawyers began to negotiate, but neither gave in!
Both parties had no choice but to go through the judicial process!
Both sides sued each other in court.
The Everett family had a top international legal team. Joanna had also hired Greyport’s top legal team
to fight this lawsuit.
After Bruce found out, he felt exceptionally helpless!
He didn’t want his relationship with Joanna to be so strained! Their relationship had just improved a
little. Now, because of the children’s custody issue, they were fighting again.
Unfortunately, Margaret was a very stubborn person. Joanna was also a stubborn person!
Margaret would definitely not agree to give up custody of the children!
Joanna would disagree since Margaret had forcefully taken custody of the children like this!
Bruce was really in a headache.
He had no choice but to go to court because of the custody issue!
The day of the court was next month!
Coincidentally, it was New Year’s next month. Now that things had turned out like this, both parties
were annoyed.
Meanwhile, Joanna was in the Haynes Group.
Although there was a lawsuit to be fought, work still had to continue.
In the office, Joanna was dealing with business matters!
Bang! Bang! Cora knocked on the door and came in.
As soon as Cora entered, she said nervously, “Miss Haynes, Mr. Everett is here…”
Before she could finish speaking, Bruce had already barged in with a cold expression!
“Mr. Everett…”
“Get out!”
Cora and the other two employees did not dare to disobey and could only leave the office with worried
expressions.
When Joanna saw this, her heart tightened, and she subconsciously stood up from her office chair.
“Bruce, what are you doing in my office?”
Bruce’s anger was obvious. He strode toward Joanna and raised his eyebrows. “Joanna, do you have
to do this?”
“Bruce, the Everett family wanted to do it the hard way!
“You once promised me that you wouldn’t fight with me for custody of the children! But now that you’ve
gone back on your word, I can only do this!”

Chapter 181
Bruce took a deep breath and tried his best to be patient “Grandma is old. Can’t you understand her
feelings?”
Joanna glared at Bruce angrily “Bruce, I’m also a mother. Why can’t you understand my feelings?”
When Bruce heard this, he instantly lost control of his temper. “I’m the children’s father! The children
don’t belong to you alone.
“I told you, if you want to see the children, I can bring the children to see you anytime!”
“But it’s too much for you to detain my children like this!” Joanna’s eyes were red with anger,
“Joanna, can we talk calmly?” Bruce suppressed his anger and looked at Joanna with frustration.
He wanted to get back together with her!
However, he, who had always been arrogant, did not know how to say the words to get her to remarry
him! However, this damn woman was not tactful and did not understand his thoughts.
She only misunderstood that he wanted to snatch the children away!
Joanna frowned and stared at Bruce coldly. “Sure, send my children back first!”
When Bruce heard this, he could no longer suppress his temper. He stepped forward, grabbed her
arms, and shook them a few times. “Your children! Your children? I’ll tell you one last time!
“The children don’t belong to you alone. Without me, you won’t be able to give birth to even a child!”
Joanna’s bones were about to fall apart from the shaking. She struggled with all her might to break
free. “Let go!”
“Joanna, don’t you dare challenge my bottom line again!” Bruce’s eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of
ruthlessness.
“Let go of me. Don’t touch me!” Joanna panicked and only wanted to break free from his control!
Looking at her resistance, Bruce’s desire burned as if a ferocious beast had possessed him. “Joanna,
you really make me angry!”
As he spoke, he wrapped his arms around her and trapped her firmly in his arms. He lowered his head
and kissed her lips!
“Mm… You bastard…” Joanna panicked even more as he carried her up.
Bruce pressed her hard against the desk….
“Bruce, don’t touch me again. Ah! Let go of me!”
“Joanna, have I been too tolerant of you recently, haven’t I?”
“Today, I will punish you severely!”
“Ah!”
Joanna was like a fish that had been slapped ashore. She struggled and resisted in fear.
Unfortunately, in front of Bruce, any resistance was futile.
Desperation overtook her rationale!
Joanna reached for the pen holder on the desk, took it, and smashed it on Bruce’s head.
“Bang!”
Bruce suffered a heavy blow, and his uncontrollable emotions calmed down a little
While he was in a daze, Joanna struggled to break free from his control

“Bruce, if you touch me again, I won’t go easy on you!”
Joanna’s face was filled with anger and panic. Her hair and clothes were also in a mess.
Bruce rubbed his head and gritted his teeth. “Joanna, I think you really don’t know what’s good for
you!”
As he spoke, Bruce rushed over again.
“Ah!”
Joanna was like a frightened bird circling the desk.
Then, she ran towards the office door as if she was escaping from something that was endangering her
life.
Crack!
The office door was yanked open.
Joanna could not care less about the employees‘ gazes. She ran out in a panic!
She had to escape this place immediately!
Otherwise, she would definitely be humiliated by him!
She vowed never to let him touch her body again.
Bruce saw her run away and chased after her! This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
The two of them ignored everyone’s gazes and chased after each other.
Joanna ran to the elevator and rushed downstairs.
Bruce was a step too late. He watched her escape. Then, he could not wait for the next elevator to
arrive and took the stairs to chase after Joanna.
“Oh my god, what are Miss Haynes and Mr. Everett doing?”
“I don’t know. Tsk, tsk, tsk. They are putting on a good show every other day in the company!”
“It must be Mr. Everett doing that to Miss Haynes again!”
“Stop talking and get to work!”
Meanwhile, both of them were already downstairs.
Bruce had actually reached the first floor at the same time as Joanna. God knew how he had run
down.
“Joanna, stop right there.”
“Bruce, don’t come over!”
The elevator was closer to the door. Joanna ran out of the elevator and ran out of the company.
They were now on the street.
People were coming and going, and there was a lot of traffic.
Joanna only wanted to avoid Bruce and leave quickly.
In a panic, she wanted to cross the road and go to the downtown area opposite.
She would definitely be able to get rid of him when they reached the downtown area.

Chapter 181
Joanna had just rushed into the middle of the road!
Coincidentally, a car bumped into her at high speed. Moreover, this car was driving in the opposite
direction. The driver was probably drunk.
“Ah…” Joanna screamed, but it was too late to dodge.
“Joanna, be careful!” Bruce had also arrived beside her. He grabbed her arm, making her turn back
suddenly.
The car whizzed past!
Although it did not hit Joanna, the front of the car still brushed past her.
“Ah!” Joanna fell from the inertia and rolled a few times before stopping.
The car did not stop and drove away.
“How the hell is he driving?” Bruce was so scared that his face turned pale. He rushed to Joanna’s
side.
The cars behind them were also forced to stop. They stuck their heads out to see what was going on.
Joanna was thrown to the ground. Her arms and knees were injured. She lay on the ground and could
not get up for a long time.
“Urgh…”
“Are you alright?” Bruce carried her up and checked her injuries.
Joanna groaned in pain and struggled to stand up.
Unfortunately, before she could stand up, she fell weakly again.
Generally speaking, very few people drove like this.
It was obvious that the driver had wanted to hit her on purpose!
Fortunately, Bruce pulled her back in time. Otherwise, she would have knocked off just now.
