Chapter 37

Joanna looked even more stunning than a celebrity on TV.

It didn’t look like she was holding a press conference. This was clearly a demonstration.

Roxanne was upset and felt more anxious than ever.

Ever since Joanna came back, Bruce had been treating her more coldly.

“Mom, look at Joanna’s smug face! Do something! Don’t let her get so cocky!”

Ingrid swallowed heavily, snorted, and swore, “Relax. Let her think that she has had her way first. Her plummet awaits her in a couple of days. By the way, have you been in touch with Mr. Everett in the past two days?”

Roxanne’s eyes darkened when she heard that.

Bruce hadn’t called her in two days.

Roxanne sighed exasperatedly.

“Why the frustration? You should strike while the iron is hot. In case of any undesirable complication, the matter between you and Mr. Everett shouldn’t be put off any longer. If we keep stalling, I don’t know what’s going to happen!”

Resignedly, Roxanne retorted with gritted teeth, “What can I do? Surely, I can’t beg him to marry

me?”

Ingrid listened and poked her daughter in the forehead. “You are so stupid, forget it! I’m so smart. Why did I give birth to such a stupid daughter? If you were half as good as I am, you wouldn’t be so bad at dealing with a man for so long!”

“Why don’t you propose to him yourself since you’re this tough? What’s the use of blaming me here?” Roxanne said and stormed upstairs.

“Look at yourself! You sure have a way when it comes to dealing with me!”

Ingrid rolled her eyes. “I’ll go propose to him myself. You’re useless! You even need your mom to do something this trivial for you!”

Since Shaun stepped down as Chairman, the Haynes family seemed to have fallen out of the Greyport elite circle overnight.

Besides that, the marriage of Bruce and Roxanne kept on getting postponed.

Ingrid and Roxanne had been shunned out of the socialite gatherings.
