Ring, ring, ring!
Joanna dialed up Jaydon’s number.
The call connected almost immediately.
Jaydon picked up. “Hello, who’s this?”
“Jay, it’s me.” Joanna’s voice was on edge.
Recognizing Joanna’s voice, Jaydon’s anxiety spiked. ‘Joann, where are you? How are you holding up?”
“Jay, I’m at the Omni-Trade Skyline.”
“Bruce’s men are close by. I’m hiding out in a women’s clothing store. Jay, I’m really out of options…”
Jaydon cut her off, Joann, you don’t need to explain. Just send me your location and I’ll get someone over to rescue
you right away.”
“Okay, thank you Jay!
Joanna then sent Jaydon her location using the shop assistant’s phone.
Outside the fitting room, the shop assistant eagerly said, “Miss, your call is finished! I’ve picked out a few more
styles that would suit you, you can try them on…”
Opening the fitting room door, Joanna handed the phone back to the shop assistant. “I’m done with the call. thank
you!”
“What about these clothes!”
“Oh, just pack all of them up for me. I’m taking them all.”
“Wait, you haven’t even tried them on yet?”

The shop assistant stared at Joanna in disbelief.
These clothes all carried hefty price tags and she hadn’t even asked about the price, was she really sincere in
buying them? Moreover, she was dressed rather casually, not resembling a wealthy person at all. The shop
assistant, eager to increase her sales performance, would have been contented if Joanna bought just a piece or
two.
“Can I rest here for a bit? I’m a bit tired. Also, I’d like to select some accessories.”
“Of course. The shop assistant responded, her enthusiasm increasing.
Appearances can indeed be deceptive.
“The wig on your mannequin looks nice too! Could I try it on?”
“Sure.”
In no time, Joanna was in a new outfit, complete with a long wig.
From behind, one could hardly recognize her.
In Venturas, at the Emerald Oak Medical Center, after receiving the call from Joanna, Jaydon was burning with
impatience and prepared to leave in haste.
Upon seeing this, Carmel Basil, heavily pregnant, hurried after him, “Mr. Grimm, where are you off to?”
T have an urgent matter to attend to.”
“Im about to give birth, and you’re leaving now?”
“It’s reassuring to have doctors and nurses here. I’m really in a rush!”
“Mr. Grimm, Mr. Grimm…”
Jaydon has already taken his leave without a backward glance.
Watching Jaydon’s retreating figure, Carmel couldn’t help but tear up.
She was on the brink of giving birth, yet the father of the child disregarded them, abandoning her without a second
thought. “Miss Basil, there’s no need for fear. Even if Mr. Grimm isn’t here, we will attend to your every need.”
Carmel rolled her eyes, exasperated.
Then she found solace in her thoughts, “Once the baby is born, my connection to the Grimm family is indisputable.
He can
chase after that seductress for all I care.”
Carmel was surprisingly broad-minded.
The baby in her belly was her lifeline for the latter part of her life. Even if Jaydon didn’t love her, she would be
financially secure for life, with no need to worry about livelihood.
In Greyport, the bodyguards had practically ransacked the entire street.
Predictably, they came up empty-handed.
“Utterly useless, the lot of you. Still no trace of her.”
“Mrs. Joanna might have slipped away.”
“If we can’t find Joanna today, you’re all getting the sack.” Bruce lost his patience once more.
“Don’t just stand there, resume the search!”
“Yes, sir!”
An hour later, Jaydon arrived at the scene with his team as quickly as possible.
Jaydon dialled a recently contacted number.

Joann, I’m here.”
“I’m sending someone disguised as a delivery man. You can leave in the delivery truck.”
Alright, understood!”
“Miss, your clothes.”
“Oh, I don’t want these clothes anymore. They’re yours.”
“What The shop assistant was dumbfounded.
In her years of retail, she’d never encountered such a customer who paid the usual price but refused the clothes.
Moreover, these clothes were expensive, with each piece costing over 200 dollars.
If more customers were like this, she’d strike gold.
Bruce got into his car, preparing to do a citywide search.
“Hey, wasn’t that Bruce just now?”
A group of people brushed past them, with none other than Bruce’s sworn enemy, Marlowe Yanice, bringing up the
rear
“Looks like him. Why is he by himself?”
Upon hearing this, Marlowe turned around to check, indeed it was Bruce.
Currently, he was without a single bodyguard or assistant. Alone in a Bentley, there were no other cars in his
entourage, ‘Perfect, let’s teach him a lesson”
Immediately, Marlowe smirked coldly, signaling to the people around him, “Follow him closely, let him have a taste
of his own medicine.*
“Don’t worry, President Yanice.”
Bruce was lucky enough to be driving, doing a city-wide loop. “Ahem, ahem!”
His throat had been persistently itchy.
