Chapter 790
Jim had told Jaydon before that Cassius was not his biological son.
Moreover, he had clearly said that he wanted Jaydon to inherit the family business in the future.
However, Jaydon had never paid much attention to this matter. He always thought that his father was still young
and could continue to manage the company for
years.
Now, he had finally agreed to enter the company. His father would suddenly pass away in less than a year. Nobody
could expect this accident.
Cassius had been working in the company for more than ten years. His power had long been deeply rooted.
While Jaydon had only been in the company for less than a year and had yet to establish a solid foundation.
Now, Cassius personally controlled 60% of the shares of the Grimm Group under the guise of consolidating Grimm
Group’s management.
He would give dividends to others every year.
The remaining shares would be divided equally among the other siblings..
Everyone would only get a few percent of the shares.
As for the dividends, that was even more of an empty promise. It was up to him to give as much as he wanted.
Therefore, his little brothers and sisters were all in an uproar. They were extremely dissatisfied with Cassius’s
actions.
Although the assets under Jaydon’s name also amounted to billions of dollars.
However, compared to the whole assets of Grimm Group, that was just a small figure.
He definitely had to fight to the end and would not give up so easily.
At 8 o’clock, Bruce was preparing to go on a business trip today, Joanna woke up early in the morning to pack his
luggage.
“Have you packed everything? Let’s see if there’s anything else missing.”
“Well, there’s nothing much to pack. I’m just going for a few days. I’ll be back soon.” Bruce smiled.
“Have you brought your documents? Keep them well.”
“Don’t worry, Andy has prepared these things.”
As Bruce spoke, he suddenly took out an exquisite box from his luggage. “Oh right, this is for you.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJoanna asked in surprise, “What is this?”
“This is a diamond brooch I bought in an auction in Antlen. I’ve always forgotten to give it to you. If I hadn’t packed
my luggage yesterday, I would have forgotten about it,” Bruce said as he opened the jewelry box.
Joanna took a look.
Inside was a diamond brooch. It was elegantly shaped like a swan
“Wow, it’s so beautiful.”
She had seen ít in the news before.
She thought that he would give it to Aria.
Unexpectedly, it was for her.
“Is it beautiful?” Bruce smiled gently.
“Yes, it looks good.” Joanna’s eyes revealed a hint of joy.
“Here, let me put it on for you.”
As Bruce spoke, he picked up the brooch and carefully pinned it to her clothes.
“It’s beautiful. It fits you very well.”
“Thank you, honey.” Joanna could not suppress her joy and smiled brightly at him.
Bruce lowered his head and kissed her eyes..
“Do you like it?”
“Yes, I like it
very
much.”
He had given her a lot of jewelry before.
All of them were priceless treasures that could only be chanced upon by luck.
However, she did not like to wear these. Firstly, she was worried that she would lose them, and secondly, she did
not have a suitable occasion to wear them.
“I should give it to her as a dowry when she gets married in the future.”
“Hehe, this is for you. It only belongs to you. I’ll prepare another dowry for Lilia Haynes,” Bruce muttered unhappily.
When Joanna heard this, a smile bloomed in her eyes, and she gave him a hug.
“Honey, you have to be careful. Come back early after you’re done.”
Bruce hugged her hard. “Okay, I’ll be leaving then.”
“Yes, be careful.”
Bruce was just about to leave when he suddenly thought of something.
“Oh, right! Aria called me and said that she’ll be arriving at Greyport tomorrow. I hope you can go to pick her up
then. And put her away in a hospital”
Joanna nodded absent-mindedly. “Okay, I understand.”
Afraid that she would be angry, Bruce said gently, “Don’t think too much, and don’t sulk. If there’s anything, just tell
me. She’s a patient now. She might say something out of line. Just calm down. Don’t lower yourself to her level.”
“I understand. Don’t worry!”
“And…”
“And what?”
Bruce’s expression turned fierce. He said in a serious tone, “When I’m not around, you’re not allowed to contact
that bastard Jaydon behind my back.”
When Joanna heard this, she rolled her eyes and sighed. “You’re talking nonsense. Shut up. Hurry up and go.”
“Alright.”
Bruce carried the luggage downstairs and prepared to go out.
Joanna was also about to send him out.
In the living room downstairs, the nanny was carrying Devin, pacing back and forth in the house.
The little baby kept crying.
Bruce walked up to his son and tried to give him a hug. “My good son, give Daddy a kiss!”
Devin cried even harder, its little face turning twisted.
Seeing this, Bruce frowned. “Is Devin feeling unwell? Why is he crying so loud?”
When Joanna heard this, she hurriedly pulled her son into her arms. “Hush. My little baby, don’t cry. Mommy is
here.”
“Maybe it’s because he just woke up on the wrong side of the bed.”
“If he won’t stop, take him to the hospital. Or call Dr. Dotson and ask him to come to take a look.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“Hurry up and take him down to feed him. Maybe he’s hungry.”
Bruce frowned, feeling a little uneasy.
Every time he hugged the little guy, he would cry non-stop, as if there were thorns on his body.
“Hurry up. It’s about time. Don’t worry about kids.”
“Alright then, I’ll get going.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Okay.”
Bruce kissed Joanna’s forehead again.
Then, he left with his assistant..
After they got into the car, the driver drove back to the airport.
It was about a three-hour flight from Greyport to Sootheration.
After arriving at the airport, Bruce called Darcy.
Darcy Juke picked up quickly. “Hello, Mr. Everett.”
“Hey, Darcy, where are you now?” Bruce asked in a muffled voice.
“Oh, I’ve just arrived at Sootheration. I was just about to call you!
Bruce looked at the time. “I’m getting ready to board the plane now. I’ll be there in about three hours.”
“Okay, I’ll pick you up at the airport later.”
“Okay, I’ll see you later.”
After hanging up, Bruce boarded the plane with a dark expression.
On this trip to Antlen, he deliberately diverted everyone’s attention with his journey.
At the same time, he instructed Darcy to find a group of people who specialized in smuggling to transport the RA-3
virus
back.
Today, he was going to hand the virus over to the confidential research institute.
After handing in the virus, he would find an opportunity to meet Mr. Thompson personally.
This time, no matter what, he had to withdraw from the organization.
Back in Sherane Bay Villa, it’s still not noisy at home.
“Madam, Devin is crying again.” The nanny looked helpless.
“Why does he keep crying all the time?”
“Is it colic?”
“I don’t think so.”
“I’ve tried everything to put him to sleep, but it still doesn’t work.”
Joanna took a closer look at his son. The little one was already out of breath from crying.
“My good boy, are you feeling unwell?”
“I just called Dr. Dotson and asked him to come over.”
“If it still doesn’t work out, we can only go to the hospital.”
“…Joann, I think Devin’s crying is very strange. Could it be a sign?”
When Joanna heard that; she was instantly covered in goosebumps.
“People say that there’s a reason why children cry for no reason.”
