Chapter 711 “Why did Aria suddenly come to Greyport? Why is she looking for me?” Bruce wondered.
Bruce lay on the bed worriedly and began to recall the bits and pieces of his time with Aria.
Aria was the same age as him.
Aria was the first woman Bruce loved when Bruce first fell in love, Joanna and Aria were about half as similar in looks and personality.
They both had small frames and looked petite and delicate. They even looked alike. Their facial features were exquisite, and they were fair. They also had big eyes that were as bright as the stars.
It was not that the two of them looked identical, but they were beauties of the same type.
However, Aria’s personality would be gentler and wiser. Aria would not be as fixated as Joanna could get sometimes.
To a large extent, it was because of their physical similarities that made it difficult for Bruce to resist Joanna.” Beep.
Aria sent Bruce another message. [Okay, Bruce. See you then.] After reading the message, Bruce's expression darkened.
Before Aria arrived, Bruce had to settle the score with Liam and finish dealing with the company’s matters as soon as possible...
Bruce initially wanted to drag it out and slowly toy with his prey. But now, Bruce had to quickly resolve the mess and deal with the troublesome matters around him as soon as possible.
Bruce was lost in thought until someone knocked on the door.
“Daddy, it’s time for lunch!” The children knocked on the door and called Bruce for lunch.
“Oh, okay. Got it,” Bruce responded and left the room.
“Where's Mommy?” Irvin pouted and said, “Mommy is still working.” Bruce frowned. “Did you call Mommy for lunch?” “I've already called her. Mommy said she’ll come later and let us eat first.” Bruce couldn't help but frown when he heard that.
Bruce quickly went down the stairs and walked to the living room.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJoanna was still buried in work.
“Honey, you're not done yet?” Joanna did not even raise her head as she casually replied, “Soon, soon. | just need to finish this one.” Bruce grumbled unhappily, “It's almost one o'clock. The children are all hungry. Aren’t you hungry?” “Yes, yes, | know. I'll be done in twenty minutes.” “What? Another twenty minutes?” “Yes! I'll be done soon. You and the children can eat first. Don’t wait for me.” Joanna was looking at a document and having a headache.
This contract was written in Fraynice.
Although the secretary had already translated and annotated it, Joanna wanted to check the contract clause by clause. Thus, it would take some time.
Some business partners would deliberately play word games. It would be very easy to step into a trap if one did not look carefully.
Bruce took two steps forward and glanced at the document curiously.
It was a contract in Fraynice. It should be about the cooperation with the partners in Frayn.
“Honey, what are you dealing with? Why is it taking so long?” “This contract is in Fraynice. | want to read it one by one.” “There’s no need to go through so much trouble. There’s a translator.” Joanna signed. “It’s precisely because there's a translator, so | have to take a closer look!” Joanna said as she pushed up her glasses.
“I think there’s something wrong with this contract, so | have to be careful,” Joanna said casually.
Hearing this, Bruce calmly took the contract and looked at it.
As Bruce had expected, there was indeed something wrong with this contract.
The Frayn business partners had deliberately played word games, taking advantage of the difference between the two languages to deliberately create loopholes.
One of the terms was deliberately misrepresented. Although one of the translated clauses seemed to have the same meaning, it was actually very different.
Bruce knew Fraynice and often dealt with wily business partners.
In the past, those business partners did not dare to play such tricks on Bruce! Now, they probably knew that the president of the Everett Group had been replaced and used these tricks again.
After pondering for a few seconds, Bruce smiled foolishly. “Honey, | think it’s best to let Uncle Liam handle this document. He's more experienced and will definitely be able to handle it better!” Joanna was stunned.
Joanna looked at Bruce in confusion.
“This contract is so tricky. How can we let Liam handle it? What if Liam can’t handle it?” Liam relied on Bruce to enter the circle of the wealthy. Joanna knew just how capable Liam was.
With this contract in Liam's hands, Liam would definitely not be able to see the problem and would definitely step into the trap.
When Bruce heard this, he sneered inwardly. Bruce wanted Liam to step into the pit.
One of the clauses of this contract was a word game. Once signed, they would fall into the other party's trap.
Fortunately, Joanna was alert and noticed the loophole in the contract. However, it would take some time to settle it.
However, this document was exactly what Bruce wanted.
If Liam were to sign it, Liam would not be able to explain himself if this matter was pursued later.
The losses caused by the company would also be borne by Liam personally.
“Alright, alright. Honey, stop working. I'm starving. Hurry up and eat,” Bruce said and forcefully closed the document.
“Stop fooling around. It'll be over soon...” “No, I'm starving. If you don’t eat with me, | won't eat either!” Bruce deliberately wheedled and made trouble, not letting Joanna handle this document.
Joanna had no choice but to tidy up the documents and turn off the computer.
“Alright, alright! Let's go eat first! I'll deal with it later-" Before Joanna could finish, Bruce complained again, “You just promised me that you would only work in the morning and play with me in the afternoon.” “Okay, okay, okay. I'll deal with it tomorrow, okay?” Bruce laughed. “Hurry up and let's go eat! The children are all waiting!” Bruce urged Joanna again.
Joanna had no choice but to follow Bruce to the dining room, While Joanna was not paying attention, Bruce reached out and placed that document into the pile that had already been processed.
Andy would come to collect these files in the afternoon.
When Andy arrived later, Bruce would find a suitable time to get Andy to send this document to Liam for processing.
With Liam's tiny brain, Liam would definitely not be able to see through the trap in the contract.
Liam would certainly step into the trap.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn the dining room, lunch had already been served.
On the dining table, there were salad, salmon, cream pasta, chicken soup, and so on. They were all relatively light and nutritious dishes.
“Time to eat!” Yes. Have you all washed your hands?” The three children sat down in unison and said with smiles, “I've already washed them.” Joanna also smiled. “Mommy will go wash her hands too!” Joanna said.
Joanna went to the bathroom to wash her hands, and Bruce went with her. Bruce was afraid that she would accidentally fall again.
“Wow, there's cream pasta today. My favorite!” “The cholesterol is high for this. You have to eat less and eat more vegetables.” “But | like cream pasta!” Davian and Irvin dug into their pasta with big forks.
Even if they did not eat the other dishes, Davian and Irvin could eat a huge bowl of pasta.
“Be good. You have to eat more vegetables and fish so you can grow taller.” “Tsk, | have Daddy's good genes. I'll definitely grow as tall as Daddy.” Joanna's eyes blazed. Joanna still wanted to educate her sons. Joanna could not let the little fellows be so picky.
If the children were picky about food, they would eventually develop the bad habit of being picky eaters like their daddy.
“No, all of you have to eat vegetables, or you'll be just like Daddy when the time comes.” “Just let the children eat whatever they want! There's no need to listen to Mommy. If they're picky, so be it. What's wrong with being picky?” Bruce said indignantly.
It wasn't like the Everett family couldn't afford it. No matter how picky they were, the children would still have balanced nutrition.
Joanna sighed.
Looking at the children and Bruce laughing, Joanna felt anxious.
Next week, they would go to trial.
Although it was rejected last time, Liam would definitely appeal.
Even if Liam lost this time, Liam would not let it go. Liam was sure to refile another lawsuit.
If Joanna gave Liam custody of Bruce, Joanna might have to be separated from Bruce again.
Joanna had already thought it through. If Joanna lost this time, she would have a good chat with Liam.
At most, Joanna would let Liam take charge of the Everett Group. Joanna only wanted Bruce and the children.
However, Liam and Lola seemed to have a huge appetite. Not only did they want the Everett Group, but they also wanted Bruce's private assets.
Therefore, even if Joanna didn’t want to deal with the likes of Liam anymore, Joanna had to fight Liam to the end.
Otherwise, Joanna and Bruce would end up having nothing.
