Chapter 51
“What the hell is going on? Did you break up with Roxy?”
Bruce let out a sigh of relief and made no reply.
In an instant. Ingrid knew she had guessed correctly. She immediately started creating a scene, crying out, “How can you do such a horrible thing to Roxy? If anything happens to her, I’m going to hang myself at the doorstep of Everett Corporation! You’re so heartless. You’ve dated Roxy for six years and wasted six years of her youth! And now, you’re leaving her like this. You’re so merciless! I’m not going to live anymore!”
Hearing her, Shaun sighed deeply and, with a sad face, tried to persuade Ingrid, saying, “We’re at the hospital. Don’t make a scene. Let’s wait till Roxy’s operation is over first.”
“I don’t care! If anything happens to Roxy, I’m going to hang myself at the entrance of Everett Corporation! I’m going to let everyone see that their boss is an emotionless, heartless man! Gosh, my dear Roxy! Please stay alive! If something happens to you, how will we be able to take it?”
Ingrid thumped her chest and threw a fit, catching everyone’s attention.
Back then, she used a similar method and went all out to force Joanna’s mother to leave.
In the end, Shaun had no choice but to marry her as everyone was aware of what had happened.
Now, she was doing the same thing again.
Using this as an excuse, she was ready to make a big fuss.
This time, it was to get her daughter into the Everett family.
Her daughter was too shy to throw a tantrum.
However, Ingrid was different. She had a lot of experience.
With such a commotion, she was sure the.Everett family would want to save its image.
People in the hospital came over one after another to watch the drama. “What’s going on?”
“It seems like Mr. Everett’s fiancee tried to take her own life!”
“Huh? This is big news! Film them and post it on the Internet!”
Just then, a doctor hurriedly came over to persuade Ingrid. “Please be quiet. You’re not allowed to be noisy at the hospital. Please calm down and stop causing a scene.”
“How can I calm down when my daughter is dying? My poor daughter. I can’t believe she has met a heartless man. Everyone, please be the judge. Mr. Everett wasted six years of Roxy’s youth, and now he’s going to dump her! Are you going to bully us, ordinary people just because you’re wealthy and influential? You have to give us an explanation today! What did Roxy do for you to throw her away like this?”
Shaun’s head throbbed as he listened to Ingrid. “Gosh, what are you talking about? Stop talking!” Then, he turned to Bruce and said, “Mr. Everett, give us an explanation! Speak. Don’t stay silent!”
Ingrid knew that families like Bruce’s valued their reputation the most.
Under normal circumstances, after she threw a tantrum in public like this, he would choose to avoid unnecessary trouble and comply obediently to uphold his reputation.
Margaret was also alarmed by the chaos. She rushed over and said, “Mrs. Haynes, please calm down! If you have anything to say, you can tell me about it!”
When Ingrid saw Margaret, she started acting more unreasonably.
Sobbing, she complained, “You’re finally here, Old Mrs. Everett. My daughter was so hurt that she tried to end her own life! You know that Roxy is a simple girl who tends to overthink. You can’t treat us like this. This is all Mr. Everett’s fault! You have to give us an explanation and come up with at proper solution today!”
Margaret took a deep breath and coaxed, “Don’t be so worked up! If Bruce really did something wrong to Roxy, we’ll make it up to her.”
“Well, Roxy’s our spoiled little princess! She’s not an easy woman you can chase away after giving her some money!”
“I know that. We can sit down and talk about these things. Don’t be so agitated.”
“I don’t care! Mr. Everett, you must give Roxy an explanation today! Otherwise, I’m not going to let this go so easily! I’ll make the press come and show them what kind of bullies Everetts are!”
Hearing that. Margaret couldn’t help but frown.
For a woman of her age, dignity and reputation mattered the most.
Ingrid’s outburst would have a big negative impact on Everett Corporation.
“They’re still operating on Roxy now, so calm down first. We’ll talk about this after they save her. Don’t worry. We’ll give Roxy a proper explanation and make sure that she won’t be wronged.”
Since Margaret gave her promise, Ingrid quit it and stopped acting out.
Then, she began to weep. “Roxy, you’ve got to wake up!”
Bruce was sitting dejectedly beside the doorway of the operation room.
He didn’t care that he was at the hospital as he smoked cigarettes one after the other.
He and Roxanne had been going out for six years. Now that he suddenly wanted to break up, it was understandable that she was devastated.
As a matter of fact, he was the one who made a mistake.
He couldn’t blame Roxanne for it.
Meanwhile, Joanna woke up in her ward.
Upon hearing that Roxanne was being resuscitated after slashing her own wrist, Joanna was shocked.
After all, Roxanne was her sister!
Thus, she struggled to get out of the bed and went over to check what was going on.
“What’s going on? How’s Roxy?”
Upon seeing Joanna, Ingrid strode forward in a fury and snapped at her, “Joanna Haynes, it’s all because of you! You have been hitting on Mr. Everett, shameless bitch! Are you satisfied now that Roxy tried to take her own life out of frustration?”
Joanna was bewildered. “What are you talking about?”
“Don’t assume that I don’t know! You’ve been flirting with Mr. Everett. If it weren’t for you, Roxy wouldn’t have tried to take her own life! If anything happens to Roxy, I’m not going to let you get away with it!”
Joanna ignored Ingrid and looked at Bruce. “Get up. I don’t want to waste too much time on you. What’s going on?” she demanded.
When Ingrid saw how Joanna still dared to talk to Bruce, she was even more incensed. “How dare you talk to Bruce? You are so shameless! If you dare to do it, you shouldn’t be afraid to admit it!”
As Ingrid scolded, she turned her attention to Shaun and vented her anger on him. “Look at your wonderful daughter. Six years ago, she ruined Roxy’s marriage and took Roxy’s place. Now, she’s jumping out to wreck Roxy’s life again. She’s a devil! If it weren’t for her, why would Mr. Everett want to break up with Roxy?”
Shaun was pissed, too. Moreover, he wasn’t fond of Joanna, so he was even disgruntled at her now that such a thing had happened.
“Joann, why can’t you just stay away from Bruce? Six years ago, you created a big mess in the family. Now, you’re doing it again! Why did we have to have a daughter like you? There are so many men in Greyport. Why do you have to go after your sister’s boyfriend?”
The color drained from Joanna’s already pale face at that moment. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
All she could feel was the blood rushing to the top of her head.
