Chapter 75
Many of the employees were queuing up to get food in the canteen.
Joanna took a stainless steel plate from the disinfection cabinet.
She then went to the kitchen window, ordered a staff meal, sat in the staff canteen, and ate.
Joanna knew Bruce was a picky eater and would not cat staff meals.
As expected, Bruce did not eat and just sat beside Joanna and watched her eat.
Joanna used the stainless steel spoon and mixed the dishes on her plate. Then, she ate the
concoction. one spoonful at a time.
Bruce frowned, his face full of disdain and shock.
To him, this was no different from feeding pigs. How could a human use stainless steel cutlery?
The usually lively staff canteen was exceptionally quiet today..
Because with Joanna and Bruce around, no one dared to eat there.
“Is it good?”
Joanna rolled her eyes. She could not be bothered with Bruce.
She wasn’t as fussy as him and didn’t pick on her food. To her, the purpose of eating was to fill one’s
stomach.
After hurriedly finishing her meal, Joanna went to make another cup of coffee.
She then added four sugar cubes and two milk capsules to her coffee.
Bruce frowned even more when he saw this. “Don’t tell me that this is fit for human consumption!”
Joanna rolled her eyes coldly.
She held the cup and swayed it tauntingly in front of Bruce. Then, she drank a few mouthfuls of the
coffee.
Appalled, Bruce subconsciously gulped. His obsessive-compulsive disorder and mysophobia would not
allow him to accept such a diet.
“Aren’t you afraid of getting fat after adding so much sugar and milk? This is very unhealthy!”
“So?”
Bruce was stunned.
Joanna did not drink coffee in the past.
After all, coffee contains caffeine that stimulates the nerves.
Even if she had coffee occasionally, she would only drink the best Blue Mountain Coffee and not add
sugar or milk.
The large amounts of milk and sugar she added now were very unhealthy.
However, Joanna’s depression was getting worse. She also had hypoglycemia and malnutrition.
Therefore, she did not like bitter things.
In addition, sugar and milk could stimulate dopamine secretion, which induces the feeling of happiness.
“You can’t eat like this anymore. You have to change your eating habits!
“I remember that you used to have a very healthy diet. Why are you so negligent now?” “Mr. Everett,
don’t you think you’re being too nosy?”
Only go d knew how she had survived the four years since her divorce from Bruce.
However, it was for the better. At least it had cured her of her past fussiness and cowardice.
“You can’t let this ki nd of junk food enter your body. You can’t drink this anymore!” Bruce said and tried
to snatch the cup from Joanna’s hands.
Joanna ignored him and finished her cup of coffee.
“Mr. Everett, I’m going back to work!
“Your office is also ready if you want to work at the Haynes Group. Please go to your own office in the
future.”
“Buzz buzz!” Joanna was about to leave when her phone rang.
She took out her phone and saw that it was Jaydon calling.
Jaydon had called her dozens of times over the past few days, but she had not answered his calls.
That was because she did not know how to explain the situation to him, let alone face him. Seeing
Joanna’s hesitation, Bruce’s face darkened. “Who called?”
Joanna returned to her senses and put her phone back in her pocket. “What does it have to do with
you?”
“Give me the phone!” Bruce reached out to grab Joanna’s phone.
Joanna panicked and grabbed her phone tightly, refusing to give it to him. “You’re crazy. Let go!”
However, the more e r efused to give her phone to him, the more frustrated Bruce became. He harshly
snatched the phone away and immediately knew it was Jaydon calling when he saw that the caller ID
was [Jay).
Bruce answered the call without hesitation. “Hello, is this Jaydon?”
On the other end of the phone, Jaydon was stunned. He also recognized Bruce’s voice. “Why is it you? Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Where’s Joann?”
Bruce sneered. “Joanna is with me. Don’t call her again!”
Unable to figure out what was happening, Jaydon was speechless.
“Joanna will be my woman from on. If you dare harass her again, I won’t stay polite.”
Anxious, Joanna jumped up to snatch the phone back from Bruce. “Bruce, that’s enough. Give me the
phone!*
“Joann, did something happen? Where are you now? I’ll go look for you now…”
Before Jaydon could finish his sentence, Bruce hung up.
“Bruce, are you done fooling around? What are you trying to do?”
“I’ve already said that you can only be my woman from now on!
“You can’t date any other man. Break up with Jaydon.”
“Why should I listen to you?”
“You know the consequences if you don’t listen to me.”
“Ha, you still want to kill me?”
“Are you kidding me? We’re in a society governed by law. How can I just go around killing people?
“But those who dare get too close to you will pay a price p ai nf ul than death!”
Joanna almost broke down when she heard that. “Crazy bastard! Can you stop acting like this?
“We’re already divorced. There’s no possibility between us! I beg you to stop harassing me!”
Bruce sneered. “Impossible. As long as you’re in Greyport, I won’t let you off!
“You are my woman. Whoever dares to have designs on you is intentionally going against me!
“If you don’t want anything to happen to Jaydon, you’d better keep a good distance from him! If I find
out that you’re secretly interacting with him… You know what I’m like, Joanna.”
Joanna could not help but gasp for breath when she heard this.
With bloodshot eyes, she looked at Bruce in hatred and helplessness.
Joanna was aware of Bruce’s personality.
Whatever Bruce wanted, he got. If he wanted to harm Jaydon, then Jaydon would be in danger.
Moreover, Bruce’s methods were sinister and vicious. Jaydon would be secretly resolved without
anyone knowing if Bruce took action.
He was impossible to guard against!
“Bruce, I’m begging you! Can you not be like this?”
Bruce took a step forward and held her chin in his palm. “Joanna, I’m warning you for the last time!
“Be my lover, and I’ll treat you well!
“Other than a marriage license, you’ll have everything else. Why are you still dissatisfied with being my
woman?”
Joanna laughed coldly. “Hmph!
“Bruce, haven’t you always hated me? Haven’t you always thought that I was scheming? What do you
mean by pestering me like this?”
Bruce smiled slyly. “I don’t mean anything. I just like sleeping with you.”
“Let go of me!
If you keep doing this, I’ll call the police!”
“Go a he ad and call the police. Let everyone in Greyport know that you’re my woman!”
“You lunatic, let go….”
Meanwhile, Ingrid had barged angrily into the company’s lobby. “That bitch Joanna, where is she?”
“Mrs. Haynes, you’re in a company!”
“Hurry up and get Joanna out here! That damn shameless bitch!
“She seduces men all day long. Of all people, why does she have to seduce her sister’s man?”
