Chapter 7
“What? Are you gonna throw yourself in my…”
Bruce turned around in disdain, only to see a furious Joanna pouncing on him with her high heels in her
hands like a lion cub. Before Bruce could know what had happened, he had been hit more than a
dozen times.
“Why are you always so mean to me? What do I owe you? Huh? Why are you always so arrogant and
full of shit!”
Bruce was so stunned that he forgot to fight back at all. He just stood up straight and took the hit.
All the years he had known Joanna, she had always been as timid as a lamb. She did not even dare to
speak too loudly, let alone hit anyone with her
shoes.
But now, she was striking him with the high heels, which was simply unreal and surprising for Bruce.
“Stop that, woman! Don’t force me to fight back.”
Joanna ignored his threat and kicked it between his legs with all her might.
She was not the same weak, cowardly Joanna she used to be.
If anyone messed with her, she fought back.
“Ow!” Bruce was caught off guard and was kicked in the crotch. The pain coming from the most
vulnerable part of him made his eyebrows twitch.
“How dare you kick me?”
“I’ll kick you again if you continue to offend me. We’d better stay out of each other’s way. Don’t think I’m
afraid of you.”
Silently, Bruce fixed his eyes on Joanna in disbelief.
She had really changed a lot.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis woman changed from a lamb to a much wilder little beast.
“Oh, you ask for it, woman!” Bruce snapped, clutching Joanna’s arm and thrusting her against the sink.
He had never been beaten by anyone before.
Most importantly, this woman kicked him in his… well, the part that he cherished the most! If he had not
been tall enough, he would probably be a eunuch right now.
This woman must be insane.
Bruce pressed her down on the sink. Yet Joanna didn’t want to be outdone! By using her hands and
her feet, she never stopped struggling.
This was when the bodyguard at the door heard the noise inside and stormed in!
“Mr. Everett… I’m sorry!” said the bodyguard. Then he closed the door hastily with a loud bang.
It was not his fault to misread the situation. After all, Bruce and Joanna were indeed in weird positions.
The bodyguard stood at the door again and stroked his chest with lingering fear. “Phew, that was close.
I almost interrupted Mr. Everett. I didn’t expect that after four years, Ms. Haynes is still so good with
men. Hmm, that’s something about that woman. She still managed to hook up with her ex–husband
even though she’s now with Mr. Grimm! Oh, man, poor Mr. Everett. He has fallen in the same trap of
that woman twice now.”
Joanna, pale and disheveled, pushed Bruce away angrily
“Bruce Everett, you’re insulting me as well as yourself. If you disrespect me again, don’t blame me for
being rude. What is between us is purely business. I don’t want anything to do with you in private.”
Bruce snorted with scornful laughter. “You think I want to have anything to do with you? That’s
ridiculous.”
He ran the wealthiest family in Greyport. He was a star. Countless people tried desperately to flatter
him.
And this was the first time in Bruce’s life that he had ever heard anyone say no to having a relationship
with him.
It seemed that he had made the right decision to come here today.
“Just you wait, you scheming woman. I’ll make your life miserable!”
With an evil smile, Bruce adjusted his tie and strode out of the bathroom with his long legs.
Back to the conference room.
Joanna, who had fixed her makeup, pushed the door open and drew everyone’s attention at once.
They were all looking at her with profound contempt
Bruce slouched back in his chair. The way his thumb played with the corners of his lips made the
others believe at once that he just had sex in the restroom and was now savoring the moment.
Chapter 7
Joanna had history, and together with the fact that she happened to be in the restroom, too, the others
were convinced that these two had had it a go.
After all, that was exactly what Joanna did to Bruce six years ago, and by doing so, she forced his
sister to leave and marry into the Everett family
herself.
Of course, Joanna noticed the meaningful looks on their faces. Her face fell, and her mood was at its
worst.
“Let’s begin,” she said crisply.
Mr. Roger and Mr. Paul put on serious faces at once and sat up a little straighter.
Shaun, with a livid face, squinted at Joanna for a second and then threw a glance at Bruce.
He was so mad.
To be honest, he never liked his eldest daughter. Shaun made up his mind that if Joanna dared to mess
with the relationship between Roxy and Bruce again, he would cut off from Joanna for sure.
“Joann, most here are elder and more experienced than you. So don’t be so serious. It’s Rude.
Meanwhile, Dad has talked to Mr. Roger and Mr. Paul. We all agreed that you could come to work here,
but you need to start at the bottom. Once you get familiar with the operation and management, we can
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmconsider…”
Joanna’s pretty face sank, and she cut Shaun off. “Dad, I’m calling a board meeting today because I
have an announcement to make. As of next month, I will inherit 51% of the Haynes Group in
accordance with my grandfather’s will, taking over as the executive director. At the same time, there
will be some changes in personnel management. So I want you all to get ready for it.”
Shaun’s face darkened when he heard this.
It seemed that his eldest daughter was not only going to destroy her sister’s romantic relationship, but
she was also gonna claim the property that belonged to her two brothers.
“Joann, you’re too young and simple. Running a company is not as easy as you think it is.”
Mr. Roger and Mr. Paul also sneered. “Joann, the Haynes Group is your grandfather’s life’s work, and
we all have put much work into it over the years. It’s not child’s play, and it’s not that we look down on
you. It’s just a simple truth that a little girl with no experience can not bear such a heavy
burden.”
Joanna gave them a confident smile after hearing so.
Then from the briefcase, she drew out of a few stacks of documents and had her assistant distribute
them to the others.
“Here’s my experience from overseas. If you’d like to see it.”
“Director of planning and vice–president of CI Technologies…”
When seeing this, Mr. Roger and Mr. Paul looked up at Joanna in disbelief.
CI Technologies was one of the top 50 global companies in the world. It mainly focused on the research
and development of new technology projects.
such as robots.
Meanwhile, CI Technologies also covered the fields such as automobiles, electrical appliances, and
even jewelry.
And it turned out that Joanna was the director of planning as well as the vice–president of Cl.
How was that possible?
