The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 1

It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.

Inside a house, a man said coldly, “sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony.”

“Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?” asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.

“Roxy’s back, and she doesn’t want to see you! It’s time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!” Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.

Joanna’s pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, “You’re divorcing me because she’s back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?”

“You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she’s back, I won’t make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain.” Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.

“I… What will happen if I don’t sign them?” Joanna asked bitterly.

“Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice.”

As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?

Two years ago, Joanna’s family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.

However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna’s step–sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.

The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group’s eldest daughter hooking up with her brother–in–law was all.

Roxanne Haynes‘ mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.

Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother–in–law.

Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his.
