The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife

Chapter 23

Not long after that, another shocking news was posted on social media.

“An Easy Prey–the Story of Joanna Haynes with Her Bloodsucking Family!”

It mainly talked about Joanna’s mother.

Even Shaun’s background had been revealed in the article, too. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

It turned out that he was just Raymond Haynes‘ adopted son. And Joanna’s mother was Raymond’s

own niece!

That meant only Joanna was really related to Raymond. So, it was not hard to explain why Raymond left Joanna 51% of the Haynes Group.

Meanwhile, Shaun and Ingrid’s affair had exploded as well!

“Joanna and Roxanne’s birthdays are only ten days apart.”

“In other words, Shaun was having an affair with Ingrid when Joanna’s mother was still pregnant!”

“That’s amazing! Ingrid Haynes was a homewrecker?”

The netizens were all taken aback!

All these years, Shaun and Ingrid were known for their happy marriage. No one could ever imagine that their marriage was a mistake in the very beginning.

This news disgusted every Netizen badly.

Maybe in the old days, people would not say too much about such affairs.

But now, netizens had little tolerance for such things. Jaydon’s PR team made good use of Ingrid’s past. And it took them only one night to make Ingrid trending.

The social media was inundated with hashtags, “Ingrid Haynes Proven to Be a Homewrecker; Shaun Haynes Abuses His Eldest Daughter” and “What You Don’t Know about Ingrid Haynes – A Mean Stepmother Who Kicked Her Stepdaughter Out.”

News and posts were everywhere, and with no exception, they were aiming at Ingrid.

“No Wonder Roxanne has a big birthday party every year! The Haynes family never holds any birthday party for Joanna!”

“Holy shit, I wonder how many filthy stories of this wealthy family still remain unrevealed!”

“Ingrid is so mean! How could she treat Joanna like that?”

As the netizens were enjoying the stories, nearly half of them started to side with Joanna imperceptibly.

However, Joanna had been known as a horrible, scheming woman for too long, and it took more time to completely reverse people’s views of her.

“No wonder Joanna has been a shameless woman. I mean, who wouldn’t?”

“All because of Ingrid! Man, if I grew up in a family like this, I might be more bitchy than her.”

Back in the Haynes villa.

“Mom, Mom, look at all this news!” Roxanne dashed over with her phone, and she showed it to Ingrid in a hurry.

Ingrid was giving herself facial care when hearing it.

She smirked triumphantly and didn’t even open her eyes. “More stories of that little bitch? What are

they about? Go on, read a few paragraphs. I need some entertainment.”

Roxanne replied anxiously, “No, Mom, no! Someone posted online about the stories of you and dad! They said you were a homewrecker and a terrible stepmother!”

Ingrid’s face fell at once as she hurried to grab Roxanne’s phone. “It must be Joanna who did this,” she said through her gritted teeth. “She must have found someone to do the dirty work for her!”

With that, Ingrid looked down at the phone and read, “Ingrid Haynes was a homewrecker who drove Shaun’s ex–wife away with babies in her belly. Ha, so what? That old, ugly bitch failed to keep an eye on her husband. That’s not my fault.”

But Roxanne appeared to be more worried about this. “But, Mom, it’s not good! People are talking about us everywhere. You know the Everetts, they think a lot of reputation. What will Bruce think of me if he reads the news? Dad is no longer chairman of the Haynes Group after all, and people in the Greyport have stopped treating us with respect. You remember my birthday party? Several girls never even showed up!”

Ingrid’s face turned even more gloomy. “Don’t worry. I will make some calls to make sure these. boring stories disappear.”

“Mom, is this gonna work?”

“Don’t worry. I know the wives of some online celebrities. They’ll do me a favor.” Ingrid assured her daughter.

Finally, Roxanne felt a little relieved. “Mom, you have to deal with this! We can’t afford the Everetts to see this!”

Ingrid twitched her lips a little. She dialed the manicurist’s number as she asked nonchalantly, “have you worked things out with Bruce recently?”

Frowning, Roxanne heaved a sigh. “Bruce’s on a business trip to Europe these days. He’ll be back tomorrow,” said she, slightly injured.

“So you called him?”

“Yeah. But he always hung up the phone, saying that he had a meeting or something like that, and I barely got the chance to say anything.”

Ingrid narrowed her eyes to process this information for a while. “Come on, let’s go to the old Everett mansion.” she rose, putting the manicurist behind her.

“What? But why?” Roxanne’s eyebrows were knitted.

“Silly girl, we’re going to visit Bruce’s grandmother, Margaret! Haven’t I always told you to visit the old lady from time to time? Go on, get dressed!”

“Fine…” Roxanne replied, and reluctantly, she went upstairs to change.

Margaret Everett was Bruce’s grandmother. She still lived at the old Everett Mansion. And Roxanne had a feeling that Margaret didn’t like her at all.

Margaret never said anything harsh to Roxanne, but every time they met, the old lady had always been cold.

Therefore, Roxanne normally avoided seeing Margaret if it was not necessary.
