Chapter 16

Taking a deep breath, Joanna picked up the contract and went through it.

This agreement was extremely strict, and the terms in it were completely overbearing. Given the current state of the Haynes Group, it was barely possible to complete the contract in three years.

“This is unfair.”

“If you’re afraid of signing it, just say so.”

Joanna gritted her teeth with hatred. “Bruce Everett, you’re going too far! Be a man, will you?”

“Yeah, yeah,” replied Bruce. “I’m just annoying, alright?”

He slumped back in his chair, puffing on his cigarette, looking unconcerned. “If you’re too scared to sign, just quit the Haynes Group!”

His arrogant look made Joanna’s insides burn with rage. However, she was not a quitter, not then, and certainly not now.

The terms were unreasonable. But if she could finish the task, she could kick Bruce out of the Haynes Group for good!

“Fine. I’ll Sign It!”

Joanna signed her name on the contract without hesitation. Then she tossed it to Bruce. “Here, what about now?”

Bruce smiled devilishly and let out one last puff of smoke. “Well, well, now we wait and see how things are going to end.”

Women were stupid. Especially this one!

He just teased her a little, and Joanna couldn’t wait to take the bait. Bruce was convinced that Joanna would suffer for sure.

“I hope you can do it perfectly,” said Bruce casually. “Otherwise, you’re leaving Greyport, and this time, you are not allowed to come back!”
