The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife

not?”

“How about adding a bit more? What can I do with just 200 thousand dollars?” Derick

bargained.

Now, he had become a pariah, shunned by everyone. He could only try every means to shake some money off Joanna.

When Joanna heard this, she frowned. “Heh, it’s really easy

for you to say.

“What’s 200 thousand dollars

enough for? For ordinary

people, 200 thousand dollars is

“But you see… I’m in a tight spot,” Derick said obsequiously.

“Derick. I remember that the Haynes Group will give you dividends of at least over 2 million dollars every year. Plus the rental income from all the properties and shops owned by the Haynes family, how could you possibly be short of money?”

Derick shifted his weight to the other leg and said

nonchalantly, “Well… I lost it

what went on in the mind of a

compulsive gambler.

In the past, she had only heard stories of how gamblers lost everything. However, it was only hearsay. After all, who would throw loads of money into a bottomless pit?

But now, seeing Derick’s

situation, she had to believe

that it was all true.

That was what a gambler was thinking.

The more he lost, the more he wanted to recoup his losses.

The more he lost, the more he wanted to turn the tables. Then, he fell deeper and deeper, unable to extricate

himself.

Seeing that Joanna did not believe him, Derick quickly tried to please her again. Joanna, please. We’re siblings after all. Can you bear to see me die? Sister, my dear sister, I am begging you.”

Joanna’s eyes widened as she looked at Derick in disbelief.

Ever since she was young, Derick had never treated her like an elder sister. Whenever he saw her, he would give her disdainful looks and seemed to want to trample her under his feet.

Now, he actually called her

sister.

It seemed that he was really at his wits‘ end.

“How about this?

“Aren’t you familiar with Mr. Grimm? Can you help me plead for him?”

Joanna stared at him blankly.

She never expected him to have the audacity to ask for such a favor.

“Well, if you don’t answer, I’ll take it as you agreed.

“I’m in debt of one million dollars to someone. Can you help me plead with Mr. Grimm and get me off the hook for this one million dollars?”
