“I know, but no matter what, she’s still my sister. Let her go home first!”

“Joann, you can’t always be so soft–hearted.” Bruce sounded disappointed.

“She can run, but she can’t hide. If this matter is related to her, you can always settle the score with her at a later date.” Joanna refused to be labeled a pushover.

If Roxanne was truly involved in the case, she would not let her off so easily.

Bruce did not say anything for a long while.

Finally, he agreed. “Alright, then. I’ll call the driver later and ask him to send Roxanne back home!”

“Alright!

“I’ll hang up first!”

Joanna hung up the phone and glanced at Shaun in disgust.

“Alright, Bruce said he would get the driver to send her back later. Go home and wait for her!”

When Shaun heard this, the tension in his temples disappeared instantly. “See, I knew it would definitely work! Well, take care of yourself. I’m going home first.”

“Hurry up and leave!” Joanna snapped, covering her head with the blanket. She did not want to look at her father anymore.

When Shaun saw this, he realized he had gone overboard just now. “Don’t be mad, Joann. I might have spoken harshly just now, but that was because I was panicking!”

“I’m tired, Ms. Chain. Send my father out!”

“Alright, Madam. Mr. Haynes, Ms. Chain turned to Shaun and said respectfully. “Please leave first. Madam needs her rest.” With that, she shooed him out of the room.

Beep, beep, beep!

Back at the Everett Group, Bruce gave Kody a call.

After much deliberation, he decided to listen to Joanna and release Roxanne to her parents first.

In any case, the Haynes family was deeply rooted in Greyport. It would not be easy for them to escape this place. Besides, he would send bodyguards to patrol the area around their house.

As soon as she tried to escape, he would be notified immediately.

Kody picked up the phone quickly. “How may I help you, Mr. Everett?”

Bruce lowered his voice and spoke. “Go to Sherane Bay Villa immediately and send Roxanne back to the Haynes’s house!”

“Alright, Mr. Everett!”

Half an hour later, Kody arrived back at Sherane Bay Villa in his car.

Then, he picked Roxanne up and drove her back to the Haynes’s house, where her parents were waiting for her impatiently.

Ingrid and Shaun were waiting by the door when Roxanne finally arrived back home.

The moment they spotted Roxanne, they hurried over immediately. “Roxy!”
