The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 9

“Joann, did I hear it right? You’re going to kick me, your own father, out?”

Joanna looked at Shaun coolly. “I’m not kicking you out. It’s that you are not fit to be in the Haynes Group anymore!”

Nowadays, the Haynes Group was crammed with Ingrid’s all kinds of relatives.

These people all came here to slack off. The Haynes Group would go down sooner or later if Joanna didn’t get rid of them.

“Good, very good! What a dutiful daughter! What a misfortune for my family! I have raised you for nothing. How could I have given birth to… to such an ungrateful person like you!”

Shaun pounded the desk angrily, hoping that it was Joanna’s head that he was banging.

“Dad, for so many years, you have never really raised me. I have never spent a penny of your money. So please, don’t say that you raised me or anything like that ever again!”

Shaun was so mad that he was speechless for a moment.

It was true that he never loved or cared about Joanna.

Bruce was amused by her words and let out laughter. He sneered at her, “Quite ambitious, Ms. Haynes! Still, confidence is one thing, but arrogance is another.
