Chapter 176

The Haynes' house!

Roxanne returned home in a huff. As soon as she entered, she kicked off her high heels and tossed her bag onto the sofa.

"Daddy, Mommy, I'm back!"

Ingrid was startled. "Why are you back so early?"

"Didn't I tell you? I told you to stay at the hospital and spend more time with Bruce!"

"Aren't you creating a chance for them to be alone now that you're not there?"

Roxanne gritted her teeth, her eyes burning with rage. "Don't mention it. That slut, Joanna, is openly seducing Bruce!"

"I wanted to stay, but Bruce wouldn't let me!"

"What happened? Tell me."

Roxanne said angrily, "What else? Bruce only cares about that slut, Joanna, now. He doesn't care about me anymore!"

Roxanne burst into tears.

Seeing this, Shaun quickly interjected, "In my opinion, since he's not interested in you, forcing him won't work." Ingrid fiercely interrupted, "Heh! That's easy for you to say!"

"Separating Roxy and Mr. Everett only gives that bitch Joanna a chance!"

Shaun, even more furious, retorted, "Your words are always so unpleasant!"

"Aren't they? Go away and stop making useless remarks!"

He then quickly comforted his daughter. "Roxy, don't be anxious. Calm down!"

"At this critical moment, we have to compromise!"

"Mom, I really feel wronged!"

Ingrid scowled and shouted, "Even if you can't bear it, you have to! You'll ruin the big plan!

"Now that you're angry and jealous, Bruce can use this as an excuse to break up!

"You've waited for so many years, sacrificed your youth—for nothing!

"Are you okay with that?"

"I can't accept this!"

"That's right!"

"Since you're unwilling to accept losing him, think of a way to turn the tables!

"If you can't endure this minor setback, how will you deal with those beautiful sluts in the future?

"Think about who Mr. Everett is. Think about how many women have tried to get close to him."

Roxanne gradually calmed down.

Indeed, as expected of a man like Bruce! Even if he weren't a playboy, many women would be interested in him.

If she couldn't endure this, how could she deal with those women who wanted to replace her as Mrs. Everett?

"Mom, you're right. I have to pull myself together. I can't admit defeat!"

Ingrid patted her daughter's shoulder. "That's it. You must pull yourself together!

"Think about it. It's just a small setback. If you can't handle this, how can you achieve great things in the future?"

Shaun couldn't take it anymore. "That's enough!"

"How the hell are you educating your daughter?"

Ingrid glared at him. "Shut up! It's all your fault for being biased!"

"Now that Roxy's fiancé is about to be snatched away, you can still sit back and do nothing. How dare you say you're not biased?

"If I were you, I'd knock on that bitch's door and beat her to death!"

"Forget it. I can't be bothered," Shaun said, frowning, and left.

Then, Ingrid whispered in Roxanne's ear.

Roxanne was shocked. "Mom, will this work?"

"Listen to me. It'll work!"

"As long as I go all out, there's nothing I can't do!"

After talking to her daughter, Ingrid called her two cousins.

Beep Beep! Beep!

"Hey!" Wallace answered quickly. "Ingrid, you miss us?"

"Hmph, it's been so long. How far has your plan progressed?"

"Don't worry!"

"I don't care. Settle that damn bitch as soon as possible!"

"This isn't a small matter. We have to plan it well!"

"Don't spout nonsense!"

"Got it. We'll take action as soon as possible!"

"Yes, use your brains more. Remember, 4 million dollars is enough for you to live the rest of your life carefree!"

"Got it!"

Meanwhile, at the Everett mansion, others discussed Bruce.

"When will Bruce be discharged?"

"Mrs. Everett, Mr. Everett will be back tonight!"

"When he comes back, we can discuss getting the children into the Everett family!"

Bruce returned. (The website advertisement is removed here)

"Grandma, I'm back!"

Margaret smiled. "Bruce! You're finally back! Grandma was just about to discuss the children with you!"

"What is it?"

"Oh, it's about the family tree!" the butler explained.

"What family tree?"

"Silly, our Everett family's family tree!"

"Now that our family has expanded with two more boys, we have to record them!" "Not only that, but we also have to hold a banquet to officially acknowledge the descendants."

Bruce looked worried. "Grandma, there's no need for that."

"Why not? You're 28, two years from thirty. Now that you finally have two children, this is a joyous occasion!"

"Of course, we have to celebrate and announce the good news!"

"Grandma" Bruce hesitated.

He was trying to find the right words to convince his grandmother.

"What happened?"

"It's best to discuss this with Joanna!"

"She's the children's mother. It's better to inform her before making a decision."

Margaret subconsciously looked at her grandson. "Bruce, when did you become so indecisive?"

"These are our Everett family's children. Although she gave birth to them, you're the father!"

"No matter what, these children are partly of our Everett family!"

"Why would she be unwilling for them to return to the Everett family? Isn't our family better than hers?" Margaret couldn't understand Joanna's reluctance. The Everett family was the wealthiest in Greyport!

"Joanna Her thoughts are different," Bruce explained, frowning.

"No matter what, these are Everett family children. We have to get them recorded in the family tree!" "The paperwork is ready. You can change the children's names now!"

"Grandma, there's no need to rush this."

Margaret's face darkened. "No, get the children back to the Everett family. Only then will I be able to answer to your grandfather and father!"

"Then, grandma can also rest in peace!"

A maid announced, "Mrs. Everett, Mr. Everett, Miss Haynes is here!"

"She came at the right time. Invite her in!"

Ten minutes later, the butler brought Joanna into the living room. Joanna's face was gloomy, but she greeted politely, "Grandma!"

Margaret adjusted her glasses. "Joanna, you came at the right time. Grandma has something to tell you."

"Grandma, I'm here to take the children home!"

"Take the kids home?"

"Heh! Joanna, this is the Everett family! The children are descendants of the Everett family!"

"No matter what, I gave birth to them. I've cared for them for four years, and I am their only guardian."

"I'm taking my children today. If you try to stop me I will call the police!"

"Heh! If you want to do it the hard way, I can only fulfill your request!

"You gave birth to three children for the Everett family. I'm grateful!

"You have to let the children acknowledge their father, right? Or is it because you have something else in mind? We'll try to satisfy you. We can offer financial compensation. Of course, if you and Bruce still have a chance to reconcile, I hope you"

"I don't want anything. I just want my children!" Joanna refused Margaret's offer.

Margaret's anger flared. She rarely spoke so humbly.
