“Cora, make two copies of this document!
“Also, find out the contacts with the Neorace Group and the Skywinds Group.
“Besides, make an appointment with the president of Belize Group and see when we can meet!”
Hearing that, Cora looked at Joanna worriedly. “Miss Haynes, it’s already Friday. It’s almost time to get off
work.
“Aren’t you going to stay up late to work again?”
Joanna frowned slightly. “It’s okay. I’ll take a day off on Sunday. I’ll go see the children in the morning and see Jay in the afternoon.
“I’ll finish my work in the next two days.”
Cora sighed. “Miss Haynes, your body won’t be able to take it if you keep working like this. You have to pay attention to balancing work and rest. Don’t work so hard.”
Joanna smiled. “Hurry up and go!”
“Fine!”
Cora did not dare to say anything else and could only go out to print the documents.
She was very worried about Joanna.
Miss Haynes did not care about her health once she started working. She worked overtime every day. It was not something that ordinary people could withstand.
In particular, she had to bear both mental and physical pressure.
The next day!
Beep, beep, beep!
Joanna called Bruce.
Tomorrow was Sunday. She had to make an appointment to see the children.
After she made a few calls, Bruce finally picked up lazily.
“Hey, speak!” His tone was extremely cold and his words were extremely simple.
“Bruce, tomorrow’s Sunday. I’ll see the kids.”
Bruce sneered and said in a mocking tone, “Humph, you’re a busy person. Do you still have the time to see
the children?”
Joanna took a deep breath and did not want to argue with him. “Tomorrow morning at ten o’clock, get the driver to send the children over!”
“Alright!”
“It’s the same old place, the entrance to Century Plaza. You can stay with them for an hour.”
Joanna gritted her teeth and wanted to argue with him.
After some thought, she suppressed her anger. “I see!”
Before she could finish her words, Bruce hung up.
“Joanna, let’s see how long you can hold on.
“I’ll make everything difficult for you because you left me.”
The next day.
Joanna drove to Century Plaza early in the morning.
9:50 a.m.
Joanna had arrived at her destination. She looked at the time and saw that there were still ten minutes
left.
She prayed in her heart that the children would not be stuck in a traffic jam. Otherwise, their meeting
time
would be shortened.
However, things did not go as planned.
At ten thirty.
Three luxury cars drove over one after another!
Joanna took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and hurried over.
The children were still late.
When the car door opened, Davian and Irvin jumped out of the car happily. “Mommy!”
The nanny carried the pram out of the car and pushed Lilia over.
“Davian, Irvin, Lilia!
“What’s going on? Why are you so late?”
The nanny said indifferently, “Miss Haynes, there was a traffic jam just now. There are only ten minutes
left.”
“That’s your business. You can’t cancel out my time with the children like this!” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
“I’m very sorry. In order to ensure the safety of the children, we can only do this!”
When Joanna heard this, she was so angry that she had nothing to say!
However, it was useless even if she argued with reason now!
“Mommy, we miss you so much!”
“I miss you guys too!” Joanna hugged the children in her arms. Her nose twitched and her eyes were
sore!
She wanted to cry, but she couldn’t.
“What have you been doing these past few days?” Joanna sniffed and forced a smile.
“Every day we go to school, go home, do our homework, and learn the piano.”
Irvin took out a small packet of biscuits. “Mommy, these are the handmade biscuits I brought for you.
Davian and I made them ourselves.”
Joanna took it. “Thank you, baby.”
“Mommy, can we go to the amusement park today?”
“Baby, I… I’ll bring you guys there another day, okay?”
“Why?”
Joanna sighed silently and looked at the children with heartache and helplessness.
“Miss Haynes, ten minutes is up. We have to bring the children back now.”
“Can you let me stay with the kids a little longer?”
“You can’t.”
When the children heard that they were going back, they lost their temper. “We’re not going back. We
want to be with Mommy.”
“That’s right. We miss Mommy very much. We don’t want to go back so soon. You bad woman, if you
keep urging us to go back, I’ll beat you up,” Irvin said as he clenched his small fists..
“Mr. Irvin, Mr. Everett has instructed us to rush home before 11 o’clock.”
“I don’t care. We’re not leaving…”
Seeing that the children were throwing a tantrum, Joanna gently comforted them. “Good boy, go back
early!
“I will
go
to see you guys next week.”
After saying that, Joanna kissed the children one by one.
She couldn’t bear to part with the children.
However, there was nothing she could do.
If she angered Bruce, he might come up with some tricks to mess with her again.
An Aston Martin was parked in the parking lot.
Bruce sat in the driver’s seat and watched Joanna’s every move gloomily.
He was deliberately making things difficult for Joanna, hoping that she would argue with him.
As long as she made a scene, he would have a reason to cut her off from the children. He just liked to
see her go crazy and give in.
Under the comfort of Joanna, the children could only compromise. “Goodbye, Mommy!”
“Goodbye, my babies!” Joanna had tears in her eyes.
However, it was not the time to cry now. She could only think of a way to become stronger so that she
could fight against Bruce.
After the children left, Joanna calmed herself down and took out her phone to call Jaydon.
She was very busy with work now, and it was rare for her to take a day off today. After seeing the
children in the morning, she prepared to go to Venturas to see Jaydon in the afternoon.
Beep, beep, beep.
Jaydon quickly answered the call.
“Hey, Joann.”
“Jay, I’ll come and see you later.”
Jaydon was very happy to hear that. “Really? That’s great.”
“I’m rushing to the docks now to catch a boat. I’ll be there around two–thirty in the afternoon.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you!”
“Alright!”
After hanging up, Joanna rubbed her sore eyes to prevent herself from crying.
Then, she got into the car and drove toward the egg tart shop that Jaydon had mentioned.
Joanna left.
Bruce also started the car and immediately followed her.
He just wanted to see what she was busy with and who she was dating.
Ten minutes later!
Joanna arrived at the egg tart shop and bought a dozen egg tarts.
Then, she placed the egg tarts on the passenger seat of the car and began to rush to the docks!
Bruce had been following behind.
After following her for a while, he soon realized that Joanna was heading toward the docks in the direction of
Venturas.
Needless to say, she was definitely going to see Jaydon.
After understanding what was going on, Bruce went off the deep end!
He just couldn’t stand the ambiguity between Joanna and Jaydon, and he couldn’t stand the fact that she cared so much about Jaydon!
“Buzz buzz!” The car’s engine roared.
Bruce stepped on the gas and crashed into Joanna’s car.
“Bang!” There was a loud sound.
Joanna was driving when she suddenly jolted forward!
The seat belt quickly tied her to the seat.
It seemed that she had been rear–ended.
Fortunately, the car wasn’t moving too fast. Otherwise, her car would have flipped over.
Joanna calmed herself down and immediately stopped the car. She was about to get out of the car to check!
Through the rearview mirror, she saw that the car behind her was Aston Martin.
Instantly, a bad premonition rose in her heart.
In Greyport, not many people could afford to drive Aston Martin. There were not many cars on the road, and the speed was not fast. Logically speaking, it was impossible to be rear–ended!
That could only mean that the person who hit her car was doing it on purpose!
Other than Bruce, no one else would dare to be so willful.
After Joanna reacted, she gasped in fear! She did not dare to get out of the car at all. Then, she put the gear in gear and drove forward!
She did not want to have too much contact with Bruce!
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
Seeing that Joanna didn’t get out of the car, Bruce became even angrier.
He put the gears in reverse and drove back 7 inches. Then he stepped on the accelerator and there was a loud bang.
The front of his car slammed into the back of Joanna’s car again!
Joanna was even more certain now that the person who hit her car was Bruce!
“What a lunatic!” Joanna was furious and only wanted to leave quickly.
