The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 1011

“What? You don’t want it?”

“No, it’s not that! I just didn’t expect that you would… Jaydon was at a loss for words, not. knowing what to say.

He added. “Um, so how much rent do I need to pay per year?”

Bruce raised an eyebrow arrogantly. “Hmph, you can have it for now. I’ll let you know when I come up with a price.

Jaydon shrugged. “No, you better tell me now. Otherwise, I won’t dare to use it.”

Bruce examined the man in front of him and said seriously, “Then, how about two cents per year?”

Poof.

Jaydon almost lost his balance upon hearing that. “Are you kidding? Two cents? How is this possible?”

“Have I ever joked about such matters?” Bruce had his own plan in mind.

The Everett Group had more businesses under its umbrella than it could run.

As a result, he decided not to venture into the gambling industry.

If he could successfully return and leave the organization this time, he planned to semi–retire and enjoy life to the

fullest. After all, he had earned enough money to last several lifetimes.

Moreover, he did not want to owe anyone any favors. Although he would not admit it aloud, Jaydon had indeed

done him a great favor when he went to Saumi Cradia earlier.

Now, he would like to return the favor.

Jaydon’s ears perked up as he listened to Bruce’s words.

Joanna was also surprised, silently praising Bruce in her heart.

She had anticipated her husband asking for a significant sum, at least the market price. However, she became

utterly surprised when he revealed that he only wanted two cents. “Well… Are you sure you’re not joking?”

“Ha, do I look like I am joking?” Indeed, Bruce’s expression showed no sign of fooling

around.

Right now, Jaydon felt uneasy.

He found it overwhelming that Bruce had suddenly become so “kind“.

In fact, he had grown accustomed to Bruce’s arrogant expression.

“Um, perhaps you could step out of the car for a moment, and we can continue our conversation inside? Jaydon’s

words came out a bit scattered, and he could not explain why he suddenly felt nervous.

No need. We’re leaving now. Bruce, who did not even step out of the car, had no interest in

After closing the car window, he said in a somber tone. Return to Greyport.

Japan, and the others gathered around. Booking curiously at the folder in Jaydon

hand. “Jaydon, what did Mr. Everett give you?”

Before Jaydon could react, the folder in his hand was snatched away by Janson.

Janson opened the folder and discovered a certificate of authorization for the gambling industry, along with an

authorization letter from the Everett Group.

“Oh my goodness, it’s a certificate of authorization and an authorization letter!” Everyone erupted in cheers.

With the two documents, the Grimm Group could continue operating in the gambling industry.

Jaydon, how much rent does Mr. Everett want for the certificate of authorization?”

“That’s right! Did you negotiate with him for a discount? He did not demand an exorbitant price, did he?”

The group bombarded Jaydon with questions as their faces displayed a mix of surprise and joy.

For a certificate like this, the annual rent would typically be at least 20% of the profits. For a large enterprise like the

Grimm Group, which had annual net profits reaching hundreds of millions of dollars, the rent would be an

astronomical sum.

After a moment of bewilderment, Jaydon softly said, “He… he said he only wants two cents.” “Huh? Two cents?

That’s impossible!”

“Yeah, Bruce is a businessman, right? Could this be a trap?

“Exactly! We mustn’t fall for it. Just two cents? That’s impossible! It can’t be true.”

As Jaydon watched Bruce’s departing car, his eyes revealed a hint of mixed feelings within him.

Bruce was indeed an arrogant, bothersome man.

Yet Bruce would not play such tricks.

Though he appeared unreliable, he was, in fact, rather dependable.

For instance, when it came to saving Grace, Bruce might have spoken harshly, but his actions were effective.

Inside the car.

It took Joanna quite some time to process what had just happened. Originally, she had been thinking about

persuading Bruce to charge Jaydon less money.

Unexpectedly, her husband decided to ask for just two cents. In other words, the certificate was given away for

free.

“Wow, honey, you are so open–minded now!”

What do you mean?”

I never imagined you would hand over the certificate of authorization to Jaydon for just a

two–cent rent.

Hiha you are speaking as though I was so narrow–minded before. Bruce replied as he looked at Joanna lovingly.

For now, money was just a number to him.

anymore. If, by any chance, Bruce could not come back, she would lease the certificate of authorization to Jaydon

at a low price anyway.

Consequently, Bruce made the decision to directly lease the certificate to Jaydon. This gesture would repay the

favor he owed Jaydon, and in return, the man would be grateful. If Joanna encountered any in the future, Jaydon

would undoubtedly extend at helping hand.

put it simply, Bruce’s thinking and perspective went far beyond that of ordinary people, as he also took into account

long–term considerations.

Joanna was originally excited, but the thought of Bruce leaving for a business trip tomorrow made her feel

melancholic. “Sigh, the thought of you leaving tomorrow makes me sad still.”

As she spoke, she rested her head on his chest.

His vigorous heartbeat was comforting, making her feel calm.

“I don’t want to go either,‘ he said involuntarily as he gently caress her hair.

He added, “But I don’t have a choice. The companies and businesses in Melta must be dealt with. Once it’s done, I

won’t have to travel there anymore.”

“Why do you need to haridle it so urgently?” she asked with puzzlement.

“Currently, we are losing money over there, so we need to cut our losses in a timely manner. You know, the

domestic market has far surpassed foreign markets. So, the future focus of our business should, of course, shift

toward the domestic market,” he explained seriously, making his statement convincing.

“Okay,” she replied softly.

After all, when it came to business matters, he was more knowledgeable and far–sighted than her.

“Lilia can soon have her braces removed. I’ll take her to Gaprington next month.”

“Mhm, you take care of the kids, okay? Be careful with everything. If you come across any difficult problems that

you can’t solve, just wait for my return.”

“Got it.

Two hours later.

The two returned to Sherane Bay Villa.

As soon as they entered the villa, they heard Devin’s loud cries as well as the worried voices of the servants, who

were trying to console the child.

Waah!”

“Oh dear, what’s going on?” Joanna hurriedly approached.

Maam, ever since you and Mr. Everett took Miss Grimm away, Devin has been crying non–stop. No matter how we

Devin was sobbing as he said, “Patricia, Patricia, waah…
