The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)

Chapter 121

Chapter 121

After Ingrid hung up. Shaun asked, “What did Rick say?”

Ingrid snorted and scolded in a high pitched voice, “What else can Rick say? How could Rick take

Joanna’s son away?

“Joanna failed to take after her son, and now she’s slandering Rick like a mad dog!

“What a b***h. It would be great if Joanna’s son had been kidnapped. Oh, right. I heard that some

people specialize in kidnapping children.

“Those traffickers would deliberately c*le **children, throw them out on the street, and ask them to beg

for money.

“Haha. It would be great if Joanna’s da***n son was taken away by those traffickers!”

Shaun frowned and said, “You’re being vicious. Joann is my daughter, and her child is my grandson.

How can you curse Irvin like that?”

“Oh, Joanna is your daughter. Then how about Roxy? Roxy would have not become what she is today

if it wasn’t because of Joanna. And now you’re still defending Joanna!”

Shaun said, “I’m not defending Joanna!”

Without waiting for Shaun to finish, Ingrid waved her hand and said impatiently. “Never mind. I don’t

want to argue with you. I’m going out to play poker!”

As she spoke, Ingrid went upstairs to get her handbag and was about to leave.

Shaun complained, “All you do every day is play poker. How much money did you lose in playing

poker?”

E

Ingrid would tell Shaun she had lost money in poker after she secretly gave the money to her two

cousins and failed to make the accounting right.

Actually, Ingrid used all the money to support her two cousins.

However, Ingrid’s cousins did not take the money without doing anything. They would do their best to

serve Ingrid. After seeing her cousins, Ingrid would feel really good.

Ingrid said, “I’ll know when I’ve had enough! Don’t be so annoying!”

When speaking. Ingrid took her bag and left.

Today, Ingrid had asked her two cousins out to negotiate..

Each of Ingrid’s cousins had asked Ingrid for 2 million dollars. Ingrid delayed it for so long that her

cousins almost lost patience.

Ingrid hated her two cousins deeply now. She finally realized what her cousins really wanted and was

not going to continue the relationship with them.

Unfortunately, Ingrid’s cousins had recorded many videos of them “playing poker” together.

Sitting in the photography studio and considering for a while, Joanna decided to call the police.

Joanna said, “I can’t wait any longer. I’m calling the police now!”

Jaydon replied, “We can’t call the police now because we don’t have any evidence. Even if the police

arrest Derick, if there’s no evidence, they’ll just keep Derick up for 24 hours at most. Then Derick will

be free again.”

Joanna and Jaydon were still figuring out a plan.

Bruce thought for a moment. Then he took out his phone to call Derick.

Beep. Beep Beep.

Chapter 121

Derick’s phone rang. He immediately picked up after he saw that it was Bruce.

“Hi, Bruce?” said Derick,

Bruce frowned and asked. “Where are you?”

Derick answered, “Oh, I’m outside. What’s the matter, Bruce?”

Roxanne and Bruce had not gotten married yet, but Derick and Ryan had already treated Bruce as a

family member and called Bruce by his first name. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“I’m looking for you. Where are you?” Bruce’s tone was cold.

“Right now?” asked Derick.

“Yes!” said Bruce.

Derick said, “Well, I’m afraid I don’t have time now. Maybe later?” Derick had just sent another bag to

that barely-known star, and now he was dating her.

Bruce replied, “No. Where are you now? I’ll send a driver to pick you up.”

Derick said, “Bruce, I’m really sorry. Honestly, I don’t have time to see you now. How about another

day? I’ll buy you lunch another day. I gotta go!” Then Derick hurriedly hung up the phone.

Noticing Bruce’s tone was bad, Derick knew Bruce would probably not give him something good if he

went to see Bruce. Besides, Derick was guilty and

did not dare to see Bruce.

The girl asked curiously, “Who’s that?”

Derick replied, “Hey. Nothing. It’s just my brother-in-law.”

The girl’s eyes lit up. She said, “Your brother-in-law? Isn’t that Mr. Everett?”

Derick straightened his back proudly and replied, “Exactly!”

“Why did Mr. Everett call you?”

“Nothing. Oh, by the way, I saw Bruce had a great car in his garage days ago. I’ll ask my sister to drive

it out another day and give it to you!”

Hearing this, the girl became ecstatic and cried, “Really?”

“Babe, when have I ever lied to you? My brother-in-law is Bruce Everett, the richest man in Greyportth.

You’ll live a wonderful life if you agree to be

mine!”

After that, Derick took that girl to bed.

20 minutes later.

Boom! Someone kicked the door open when Derick and the girl were busy in bed.

About eight muscular men in black barged in without explaining.

Derick and the girl were so frightenied that they hurriedly covered themselves with the blanket. Derick

asked, “Who are you? What do you want?”

“Get up and come with us!”

Derick took a closer look at the leader of the men in black and recognized that man was Bruce’s

bodyguard. Then Derick sighed in relief and asked, “Did Bruce send you?”

“Cut the crap and come with us!” Those burly men did not let Derick ask any questions and dragged

Derick down from the bed.

Derick was in a terrible state, shouting, “Wait, wait! At least let me put on my pants!”

Chapter 121

Soon, Derick was brought to the studio. He was disheveled and only wore a pair of pants.

“Mr. Everett, we’ve got Derick here!”

When Joanna saw Derick, she became even more agitated. Joanna asked, “Derick, did you take my

son away?”

When speaking. Joanna pounced on Derick. She looked like a lunatic.

Derick sneered. Then he looked at Joanna arrogantly and said, “Are you crazy? Why would I take away

your son?”

Joanna retorted, “It must be you. I checked the surveillance and found that you showed up at the

photography studio in the morning. No one has a reason to take my son except you!

“Tell me where my son is now! If you don’t, I’ll call the police!”

Derick said, “Go ahead. Anyway, I don’t know where your son is! I’ve never seen him before either!”

Derick looked like he was not afraid of anything.

Derick thought, “There are no surveillance cameras in the photography studio, and no one has seen

me take that kid away!

“Besides, I have a compelling alibi. Even if the police interrogate me, they won’t get anything out of

me.”

Joanna continued, “Tell me where my son is. I’m begging you. Please don’t hurt my son…”

Derick deliberately said, “What? Are you begging me now? It’s hard to believe!”

Seeing Joanna’s breakdown, Derick became even more arrogant and felt extremely joyful.

Joanna cried even harder after realizing she could not get anything out of Derick.

Bruce was sitting on a stool at the side and smoking a cigarette. His expression was terrible.

Derick glanced at Bruce and obsequiously said, “Hey, Bruce. What’s the matter? Why are you looking

for me so urgently? Could it be this crap?”

Bruce did not answer. Instead, Bruce tilted his chin slightly at the bodyguards.

Two bodyguards immediately understood Bruce’s indication.

A bodyguard grabbed Derick’s head and stuffed it into the toilet bowl. Then another bodyguard pressed

the flush button.

“Ugh!” Derick coughed violently. He was almost choked to death on the water and disgusted by the

smell of the toilet bowl

Whoosh. Whoosh.

The bodyguard pressed the flush switch over ten times in a row. When seeing Derick was about to

drown, Bruce waved his hand slightly to ask the bodyguard to stop.

The bodyguard immediately pulled Derick out of the toilet bowl and threw him at Bruce’s feet.

Derick kept coughing. Then he asked, “Bruce, what are you doing? Uh, uh!” Derick was so scared that

he was shaking.

Bruce’s eyes were sharp when he glanced at Derick. Bruce did not show any mercy just because

Derick was Roxanne’s younger brother.

“Now tell me the truth!” warned Bruce.

Derick pretended to know nothing and asked, “What… What truth? What are you talking about?”

“Where did you take Joanna’s son?” Bruce’s tone was not loud, but it had a terrifying power. It was as if

an ancient emperor was issuing an imperial edict.

Derick denied, “I… I really don’t know! How would I know where Joanna’s son is?”

Bruce lit another cigarette after seeing that Derick was unwilling to tell the truth. After taking a drag of

the cigarette, Bruce put it on Derick’s shoulder.

Chapter 121

Sizzle! Then a smell of roasted meat wafted out..

– 69%

“Ah! Ah!” Derick’s shouting immediately spread throughout the photography studio.

Derick howled in pain and rolled on the ground in pain. He could not believe that Bruce would leave no

room for negotiation.

Bruce replied gloomily, “Tell me. Where did you take Joanna’s son?” Bruce did not want to waste any

time on Derick.

A bodyguard also warned, “Hurry up and tell the truth. Then you don’t have to suffer so much!

Otherwise, you can’t even walk out of here alive!”

The bodyguard was right. It would be a piece of cake if Bruce wanted someone to disappear from the

world. Moreover, Bruce did not even need to do anything by himself. He would not let the police have

any evidence either..

“Bruce, aren’t we a family?” cried Derick.

Bruce said, “You’re not going to tell me, are you?”

Derick shouted, “Bruce, I swear I don’t know! Why do you assume it’s me?”
