The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife

Chapter 101

After speaking, Cora gave Joanna a glance that subtly signaled a message.

Joanna understood Cora’s message without needing to say anything.

The two had been working together for a long time, so sometimes they could understand each other’s intentions just by looking at each other. In addition, Jaydon had just called Joanna several times, so she knew right away that he had come.

“Alright, got it.” Joanna said. “You may go and receive the client first. I’ll be there in a moment.”

“Alright, Miss Haynes, Cora replied and left respectfully.

Bruce’s eyelids drooped. “Who’s here?” he asked.

Joanna did not dare to ignore him, so she replied, “A client. I’m going out to meet the client.”

Bruce was left speechless. He rolled his eyes and lowered his head to read the newspaper again.

Joanna stood up and made her way out of the office.

At the reception room. Joanna pushed open the door to the reception room. Indeed, Jaydon had arrived.

“Jay, why are you here?” Joanna asked.

“What’s wrong?” Jaydon said. “Can I not come and see you?” After Jaydon finished talking, he smiled warmly.

“Why didn’t you answer my calls?” Jaydon said. “I thought something happened to you!”

A trace of discomfort appeared on Joanna’s face. She forced a smile and said. “No, I was busy just now. I didn’t hear the phone ring.”

Jaydon looked up and happened to see several dark bruises on her neck. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Although she covered it with a scarf, he could still see several bruises on her neck. As a man, he naturally knew what had happened at a glance.

“Uh, is there something wrong?” Joanna asked.

Upon hearing that, Jaydon’s heart ached, but he still put on a gentle smile and said, “I brought you coffee and cake.”

“Thank you!” Joanna said as she took the delicate tote bag. There was a hint of worry in her eyes.

“Jay, if there’s nothing urgent, you may go back first,” Joanna said. “I’m a little busy today, so I probably don’t have time to entertain you. I’ll treat you to dinner tonight.”

Bruce was in the office now.

Joanna was afraid that if they met, there would be another conflict between them again.

Jaydon paused. He felt a sense of disappointment.

In the past, when Joanna was busy with work, he would watch her work in the office. He enjoyed watching her serious expression while working.

But today, she did not even let him into the office.

“By the way, the advertisement that Irvin shot the other day is very successful,” Jaydon said. “The response is particularly good!”

“Really?” Joanna said. “That’s great!”

“So, I’ll have to invite Irvin to shoot another advertisement,” Jaydon said.

Jaydon wanted to sign Irvin to his entertainment company.

Firstly, Irvin was indeed very talented. He was especially cute and good–looking. Secondly, if he really signed Irvin, he would be able to meet Joanna more often.

Joanna was left speechless. She was stunned.

“Also, my company is preparing to shoot a movie,” Jaydon said. “We need a child actor. Irvin is very suitable for the role.

“Next Sunday, I want to take him to the production team for an audition.”

Joanna’s expression turned serious. She declined without hesitation. “Jay, you know that I don’t want my children to be in the public eye too often.

“So, I’m sorry! I have to decline this time around.”

Jaydon said, “Joann, with the media being so developed nowadays, it’s hard to avoid exposure even if you want to.

“Moreover, Irvin is so cute. He can definitely develop a career in the entertainment industry. I’ve asked him. He’s very interested in this industry.

“Don’t worry, it won’t affect his studies and life.”

Joanna shook her head and looked at Jaydon awkwardly. “Jay, he’s still young,” she said. “He doesn’t know what conditions he needs.

“I don’t want him to be too picky about the choices in life.”

Jaydon was not discouraged at all. He still tried to persuade Joanna. “Just shoot one movie,” he said. “It won’t take long.

“Just think of it as helping me. I really can’t find a suitable candidate now.”

“Jay, it’s really not possible this time around,” Joanna said.

“Joann…” Just as Jaydon was about to continue persuading Joanna, Bruce suddenly appeared at the door of the reception room. “Joanna, is he the client you mentioned?” he asked.

Upon hearing Bruce’s voice, Joanna trembled involuntarily.

Jaydon was displeased. “Bruce, why are you here?” he asked.

Bruce strode in and said, “I’m a director of the company. Is it strange for me to be here?

“And you, why are you here?

“Joanna, I thought the company is going to set rules that non–employees cannot enter the company premises.”

Jaydon said, “Joann…”

“Jay, you may go back first,” Joanna said. “I’ll treat you to dinner tonight.” With that, she pushed Jaydon’s back, wanting him to leave quickly.

Jaydon looked extremely displeased. “Joann, did he do something to you again?” he asked.

Joanna took a deep breath. A hint of helplessness flashed across her eyes. “I’m fine,” she said. “Please leave first!”

Upon hearing that, Bruce let out a cold sneer and looked at Jaydon in a wicked way, “Hey, you guessed it right!” he said. “She,

slept with me again!

“Do you still want such a woman?”

“Bruce, you’re not a fucking man!” Jaydon said. He was so angry that the veins in his temples bulged!

He raised his fist and was about to hit Bruce.

“Jay, don’t do it!” Joanna said, immediately dashing forward to stop Jaydon.

Bruce smiled coldly and said, “What right do you have to criticize me?

“You have gotten involved with every female artist under your management, haven’t you? When it comes to womanizing, I’m no match for you! You’re a womanizer, so why pretend to be sincere and loving?”

When Jaydon heard that, it hit a nerve. “Shut up. Bruce!” he said.

Indeed, several top female artists under his management had ambiguous relationships with him.

Jaydon could not help it. He was naturally romantic. All the female artists were young and beautiful. Facing such a gentle, handsome, and wealthy boss like Jaydon, who would not want to get close to him?

Even if he did not make the first move, those little minxes would do everything they could to throw themselves at him.

Bruce looked at Jaydon with a faint smile and a hint of disdain in his eyes. “I’m warning you,” he said. “Joanna is my woman. She will be my woman for the rest of her life!

“Other men shouldn’t think about trying to make a move on her, especially a playboy like you!”

Neither Bruce nor Jaydon was a good person. Although Bruce did not sleep with Roxanne, he had also sought out many women privately.

However, he was much more heartless than Jaydon!

He had never put any emotional attachment to those women. Usually, after having fun with them, he would give them at sum of money to cut off all ties. If he encountered women who pestered him, he would be disgusted. He would even send someone to teach them how to “behave properly“!

Therefore, there were not many scandals about him circulating around.

“Joann, don’t listen to his nonsense,” Jaydon said. “I really have feelings for you…” Jaydon was a little flustered and exasperated. He subconsciously wanted to explain to Joanna.

Joanna frowned. “Jay, don’t say anything,” she said. “Go back first! We’ll talk when we meet tonight!”

With that, Joanna pushed Jaydon out of the reception room.

Jaydon said, “Hmph!

“Bruce, don’t be too overbearing!”

“Jaydon, you had better know your place!” Bruce said.
