Chapter 861
A few seconds later.
Bruce raised his eyebrows slightly and wrapped his arm around Joanna’s shoulder affectionately.
The foreigner in front of him was probably Prince Harman.
Bruce watched as Prince Harman stared at Joanna with an affectionate look in his eyes.
Bruce couldn’t help but feel sad.
“Good morning.” Joanna took the initiative to break the awkwardness.
“Good morning.” Prince Harman looked a little embarrassed and disappointed.
Joanna did not want to say anything else. She only smiled politely and said, “Goodbye.”
“Bye!” Prince Harman similarly smiled.
“Let’s go!” Joanna held Lilia’s hand and walked toward the door together.
Bruce took another deep glance at Prince Harman with a hint of warning in his eyes.
Prince Harman also stared at Bruce meticulously until their figures disappeared.
They left the hotel.
The driver had already parked the car outside. It was an extended version of Rolls-Royce. “Mr. Everett, Miss Haynes,
Miss Lilia, please get in.”
“Thank you.”
After getting into the car, Bruce looked displeased and said in a sarcastic tone, “That guy is the so-called Prince
Hammer, right?”
Joanna couldn’t help but laugh when she heard that. “He’s Prince Harman, not Prince Hammer.”
When Bruce heard this, he rolled his eyes in disdain. “Hmph, in my eyes, he’s like a goddamn hammer.
“I’m warning you. If you dare to flirt with him, I’ll break your legs.”
“Nonsense, do you think I’m as half-hearted as you?”
“That’s hard to say…” Bruce replied resentfully.
He naturally did not care about ordinary men.
As for this Prince Harman…
He was obviously taller, richer, and younger than him.
Moreover, he was a real prince,
He… was really inferior to him.
When Joanna heard this, she was instantly furious. “You’re doing it again. Can you stop being suspicious all day
long?”
“Well, you must have given him the flirtatious signal. Why else would he keep bothering you like a goddamn fly?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“He’s still waiting for you downstairs. Hmph, if you didn’t give him any ambiguous information, why would he be so
energetic?
“Well, that reminds me of the saying. It takes two to tango.”
When Joanna heard this, she was even angrier. Her face tensed up. “Bruce, what do you mean by that?
“What are you suspecting? Are you suspecting that I took the initiative to hook up with Prince Harman?”
Bruce felt a lump in his throat.
“So, you think I’m just a promiscuous woman, right?”
Hearing Joanna’s tone, Bruce frowned and subconsciously explained, “I… I didn’t say that.”
“Then why did you ask me like that?
“Or did you never trust me?”
“Of course I trust you…” Bruce glanced at her.
Joanna’s expression completely turned gloomy. There was a hint of anger in her voice. “Bruce, I’ll tell you one last
time. If you think every woman is fickle in her affections and is willing to accept an open relationship, you’re wrong!
“You’re insulting my dignity by suspecting me like this! You’re blaspheming our love and distrusting our relationship.
“If that’s the case, let’s not remarry. Let’s not be together anymore, lest you slander me like this.”
Seeing that Joanna was really angry, Bruce quickly admitted defeat. “Okay, okay, okay. I was wrong, honey.
“Don’t be angry. I was just a little worried,” Bruce said and quickly put his arm around Joanna’s shoulder.
“I was not suspecting you. I was just complaining…”
“Bruce, you don’t trust me at all, do you?
“You think I’m a half-hearted, vain woman, don’t you?”
When Bruce heard this, he felt a headache coming on.
He had never won an argument with Joanna.
Especially when Joanna was angry, she was very difficult to coax. Bruce had never won against her.
Every time, Bruce was the one who started the trouble arrogantly. In the end, he had to clean up the mess with a
face full of helplessness. Every time, he had to apologize and lower his head. The more arrogant he was at the
beginning, the more sorry he was at the end.
“Honey, I’ve never thought that way. If I thought that way about you, I wouldn’t be with you at all.”
When Joanna heard this, she still felt stifled.
Today, she was going to turn the tables and teach him a lesson so that Bruce could realize how mean he was just
now.
She knew she could not let him do as he pleased.
“Don’t say what you don’t mean. You clearly think so. You’re flirting with so many women. Have I ever suspected
you?”
“Oh, that reminds me. You’re not flirting at all. You are…”
Seeing that Joanna was about to dig up the past, Bruce quickly admitted defeat. “Honey, it’s my fault. I was just
complaining casually.
“I know that my wife is the best, the most devoted, the most infatuated, and the most trustworthy woman in this
world.
“I was acting like an asshole just now. And I was being unreasonable and petty.
“Sweethearts

get angry with me, okay?”
him coldly with red eyes.
Bruce did not dare to look her in the eye and could only pout cutely. “My sweetheart, you’re a magnanimous
person. Don’t be so strict with me, okay?”
Seeing that Bruce kept apologizing, Joanna decided to stop in time and give him a way out.
Otherwise, if she really angered this headstrong man, he might cause trouble again.
“Bruce, if you continue to be so suspicious and suspect me, I won’t forgive you.”..
“Oh, okay!”
“Swear it.”
Bruce subconsciously looked at the bodyguards in the front seats. “There are so many people watching…”
This was an extended version of a luxury business car that could seat more than ten people.
Therefore, Darcy and Carson were also in the same car.
As for the assistants and servants, they stayed in the hotel.
Joanna glared at him. “Are you swearing or not?”
“Alright, I swear. If I’m ever suspicious of my beloved wife again, I’ll die a horrible death, okay?”
Joanna could not help but roll her eyes when she heard that.
“I’m asking you to swear, not curse yourself.”
“Come on. What do you want me to do?” Bruce pretended to be aggrieved.
“Ah, you sly man,” Joanna murmured inwardly. “You indeed know what my weakness is, don’t you?”
Lilia quickly put in a good word for Bruce. “Mommy, Daddy already admitted his mistake. Please forgive him!
“Besides, Daddy is just worried about you. After all, that Prince Hammer has ulterior motives. Even I can tell that he
has malicious intentions.”
When Bruce heard this, he felt an indescribable joy in his heart. Lilia was surely his savior. All those efforts he had
made to dote on her finally paid off.
“Look, even our daughter can tell.
“Honey, don’t get angry with me.”
“Fine, forget it. I’ll forgive you this time.”

After Bruce finished speaking, he subconsciously glanced at Darcy and Carson.
Although they all had cold expressions on their faces as if they did not hear what Bruce said, in fact, they were just
trying their best not to burst out laughing at the moment.
“Alas…” They sighed inwardly. “Poor Mr. Everett… Now, he’s being controlled by his wife and daughter. In the past,
he was so decisive, domineering, and arrogant. But now, he had already become a slave to his wife and daughter.
In the hotel.
After watching Joanna and Bruce leave, Prince Harman frowned.
He had more or less learned about Bruce’s deeds on television.
There was a reason why Prince Harman felt a little worried at the moment.
As a former alumnus, Bruce was an influential figure in the school. Prince Harman had heard of Bruce who was two
years senior to him.
A bodyguard walked over and said in Saumi Cradian, “Prince!
“The
queen just called and said that Princess Alice is about to give birth. She wants you to return to the country
immediately.”
“Okay, got it.
“Investigate the background of that man,” Prince Harman ordered the bodyguard.
“Investigate the background of that man?” The bodyguard looked puzzled.
“Yes.” Prince-Harman’s face darkened.
He and Bruce looked at each other for a few seconds. Although it was only a few seconds, it was like a century had
passed, instantly revealing a lot of information about Bruce.
The way Bruce walked and his habit of swinging his arms were totally different from those of ordinary people.
Prince Harman was a prince of Saumi Cradia and the future heir to the throne of that country.
Their country
had
many secret agents.
As the crown prince, Prince Harman had the right to ask about the training of these agents, as well as their habits,
and so on. He could notice actions that ordinary people couldn’t.
If Bruce was just an ordinary rich man, Prince Harman would not have ordered his men to investigate Bruce’s
background.
But if Bruce was an agent, Prince Harman had to investigate him thoroughly.
After all, Bruce had been to Saumi Gradia many times. In case Bruce stole state secrets from Prince Harman’s
country, extraordinary measures had to be taken.
