Chapter 1091
Boom!
Leo’s words struck Joanna like a thunderbolt.
“What… what did you say? Say it again.”
Aria’s heart skipped a beat. She immediately stopped Leo sternly. “Leo, shut up. Don’t say anything else.”
A hint of helplessness appeared in Leo’s eyes. “Aria, let’s tell her the truth. Since she wants to know the truth so
much, let’s just tell her.”
“Ms. Haynes, I’ll tell you the truth. Unfortunately, Bruce was… dead.”
When Joanna heard this, she paused for a moment before sneering. “Impossible! This is definitely impossible! Aria,
where did you hide Bruce?
“Yeah, it must be you who hid him. Hurry up and tell me where Bruce is. Aria, you can’t be so shameless. Bruce has
a wife and children. What you’re doing is too despicable.”
As Joanna spoke, she lost control and aimed her gun at Aria again.
At this moment, she really wanted to shoot Aria without thinking about anything else.
Aria did not retort. She just closed his eyes in pain.
Seeing this, Leo was almost scared out of his wits. He liked Aria and was afraid that Joanna would impulsively hurt
Aria.
“Ms. Haynes, calm down. I swear to God, I’m not lying to you.”
“Bruce is dead, really. Don’t hurt Aria. She has nothing to do with Bruce’s death.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Shut up. I won’t believe you.” Joanna’s entire body was trembling. She did not believe Leo’s words at all.
“How is it possible that Bruce was dead?” Joanna wondered. “He is Bruce Everett!
“How could the worst and most domineering man in the world die?”
“Bruce is really dead. I’m not lying to you.”
“Shut up and stop lying. I won’t believe you.
“If you don’t tell me where Bruce is today, I will kill you and then kill myself.” Joanna was angry and panicked. Her
hand trembled as she pulled the trigger again.
Her eyes were as red as blood, and she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
“Hurry up and tell the truth!”
Aria looked at Joanna sadly as tears rolled down her face.
Her expression was extremely sorrowful, and her face was extremely haggard. She must have been having a bad
time recently.
When Joanna looked at Aria’s sorrowful expression, her heart sank.
She couldn’t help but be suspicious.
Aria’s reaction was real. Bruce might really have… died.
“I don’t believe it. I won’t believe it. My husband won’t die. He won’t die. It must be you. You must have hidden him
somewhere…”
Seeing this, Darcy hurriedly went forward to comfort Joanna. “Mrs. Everett, don’t be too agitated. “Put your gun
away first. Don’t hurt yourself.”
Leo heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Ms. Haynes, if you don’t believe me, you can ask Darcy and Carson. “I admit
that the person above is indeed not the real Bruce. We cloned Bruce. However, we are not deceiving you
maliciously. We are just following Bruce’s order.”
“Leo, stop talking…” Aria still wanted to stop Leo.
“Aria, at this point, we can’t hide it anymore. There’s no need to hide it.” Leo frowned and said agitatedly.
“Bruce asked us to make that clone. He didn’t want you and your children to be sad after he died.

Therefore, he asked us to make a clone a long time ago in case anything happened.
“This is Bruce’s love for you. Why do you have to let him down?
“Although the person above is a clone, he has Bruce’s genes and memories. You can treat him as him…” Joanna
could not take it anymore. “No, no… This is not real. This is not real.”
“Mrs. Everett! Mrs. Everett!” Darcy hurriedly supported her and snatched the gun from her hand. Joanna sucked in
a breath of cold air. Her mind went dark, and she fell back heavily.
“Mrs. Everett, wake up.” Darcy and Carson hurriedly supported her.
Then, they helped her to the sofa.
Joanna could not withstand this huge stimulation and had already lost consciousness.
She really couldn’t accept this outcome.
Aria went forward to check. “It’s okay. She just fainted. Let her sleep for a while.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDarcy narrowed his eyes and looked at Leo coldly. “Is what you said true? Has Mr. Everett passed away?”
Leo nodded and replied with a heavy expression, “It’s true.
“You’ve been with Bruce in no man’s land for so many days. You should know if what I said is true.”
Darcy’s heart skipped a beat. He asked in a trembling voice, “When did it happen?”
“Do you still remember the day when Jason and the Fry went to pick up Bruce and you?”
Darcy nodded. “Yeah, I remember.”
Leo frowned and said bitterly, “That day, after Bruce and Aria returned to the camp, we were chased by District
17’s patrol team.
“In order to save us, Bruce went alone to lure the patrol team away, buying us time to escape.”
When Darcy and Carson heard this, their hearts ached even more.
They believed that what Leo said was true.
After all, they had narrowly escaped that day. Bruce was indeed doomed to die alone.
“Mr. Everett…”
“What should we do? Mrs. Everett and Mr. Everett’s children are still so young.
“Why would this happen to Mr. Everett? This is totally unfair.”
The two of them looked grief-stricken.
“Let’s think about what we should do after Mrs. Everett wakes up.
“Mrs. Everett definitely can’t take this heavy blow.”
Leo’s eyes darkened. “Aria, you know hypnosis, right? You might as well hypnotize her and make her forget what
happened today. Then, she can just go back with the clone of Bruce and live her life peacefully. She will forget
everything.”
Hearing this, Aria let out a long sigh.
