Chapter 457
“Why did Mr. Everett instruct his bodyguards to beat up the reporters? Does the Everett Group have some
unspeakable
secrets?”
“Will Mr. Everett personally come out to apologize?”
Every day, the reporters would wait outside the building of the Everett Group.
If they couldn’t catch Bruce, they would approach other senior executives and shareholders of the company.
These shareholders and executives were also annoyed by the reporters. However, no matter how they tried to shoo
them away, they couldn’t easily offend them. These reporters were like a swarm of flies.
In the conference room. Bruce continued to hold meetings with the senior executives.
One shareholder wearing a frustrated expression complained, “Mr. Everett, the incident with the reporters has had
a very negative impact, and we are also suffering from it. How can we deal with this if it continues?”
“Yeah! Those reporters camp outside the building every day, and it’s giving me heart problems.”
“Maybe… Mr. Everett, you should apologize in person! That way, the two reporters might stop causing trouble.”
The shareholders were all feeling helpless and wanted to resolve the issue as soon as possible.
Upon hearing this, Bruce’s face grew even darker.
“Leave it to the legal department to handle.”
In any case, he would not apologize.
The bodyguards didn’t actually assault those two reporters, who were merely there with an aim to cause trouble.
In fact, there was a higher possibility that Marlowe was behind all this.
If so, he couldn’t compromise even a little bit.
“Mr. Everett, I heard that you’re planning to withdraw from the Green Bay project?
“Did the funding run out? If there are any issues, you must inform us in a timely manner!”
“No, how is that possible? The Green Bay project is progressing smoothly. The workers are mostly in place, and
construction can begin soon.” Bruce intentionally showed a skeptical expression.
“Oh, that’s good then!” The restless shareholders became slightly reassured.
After the meeting ended, Bruce left the company and headed to the hospital.
As soon as he stepped outside, a large group of reporters swarmed around him.
“Mr. Everett, you finally came out! What do you have to say about the incident with the reporters? How do you plan
to resolve it?”

Facing the media cameras, Bruce paused, an unusual sight, and calmly smiled. “The Everett Group has already
issued at lawyer’s letter. We will thoroughly investigate the act of extortion by those two journalists!”
He had initially hoped to settle the matter quickly, but it had escalated further than expected. He could only resort
to legal procedures and make the issue public.
It was at the Yanice Group.
Over the past few days, Marlowe’s face darkened with a malicious grin as he saw the increasing online news
coverage about
Bruce.
“Bruce, this is only the beginning. I will meticulously settle our accounts. These nine years I spent in prison will not
be in vain! I will make you fall from grace and pay a hundred times the price.”
Roxanne sat provocatively by his side, adding, “President Yanice, the Everett Group is already under investigation by
relevant departments. I believe retribution will come soon!
“The show is finally starting. When the time comes, I will present a big gift to Bruce. I won’t let him retaliate!
“Haha, a delightful cooperation!
“President Yanice, once the Everett Group collapses, remember the promise you made to me won’t be broken!”
Marlowe smirked maliciously. “Don’t worry! I always keep my word.”
“And what is this “big gift‘ you mentioned?”

Roxanne neered, “I’ve brought another ally on board! ith his assistance, we can deliver a fatal blow to Bruce when
the crucial moment arrives, ensuring he has no mea

“Don’t play these games with me I’m not interested i
Roxanne’s face turned awkward, and she stood up submissively
“TI leave this matter to you. When Bruce ends up in prison, rest assured, the Haynes Group will be yours!
“And your mother. I will find a way to get her out as soon as possible!”
Thank you. President Yanice!”
Marlowe smirked, enjoying his cigar. Although he had no interest in Roxanne, he was indeed intrigued by the trump
card she mentioned
Yanice Group had a large team of lawyers. Despite his nine–year sentence, considering the severity of his crimes,
he could have received the death penalty. In the end, with the legal team’s maneuvering, he was sentenced to only
nine years.
As for Ingrid, she had received a 15–year sentence. By pulling some strings, she might be released earlier.
Back to the children’s hospital.
“Lilia is going through the second round of chemotherapy today!”
“Lilia, you can do it! Mommy, Daddy, and your brothers are all here for you.”
Bruce. Joanna, along with Davian and Irvin, encouraged Lilia.
Yes‘ With Daddy. Mommy, and brothers, I’m not afraid at all.”
Soon, the doctor began the second round of chemotherapy, injecting various medications into her frail body.
Lilia grew even weaker, her face pale without a trace of color.
Outside the ward, Joanna couldn’t help but burst into tears. “My poor baby, why is fate so cruel to you? Why must
you endure such torment?”
Bruce gently embraced Joanna and comforted her tenderly, “It’ll be alright. Lilia will definitely recover.”
“Don’t be so sad! I’ve already pushed my body to the limit, and it won’t help if 1 worsen my condition”
“Hum Joanna silently shed tears.
“Lilia, are you feeling uncomfortable?”
“Davian, Irvin, don’t touch your sister. She’s still very weak.”
“Yes, mom”
Lilia, when you get better, big brother will buy you chocolates.
“Bruce, take Davian and Irvin back!”
The two little ones refused to leave “Mommy, we want to stay and accompany our sister”
Joanna gently said. Tasten to me. You two should Hurry and go back!
“If you stay here, it will disturb your sister’s rest. When she’s a little better, you can come and keep her compar
“Oh, alright
“Kody, take Davian and Irvin back”
“Yes, Mr. Everett”
“Young fellow.c

“Lila, we’re leaving for now. When you get better, I will come to see you”
The next day, Bruce remained at the hospital mistead of going to the company
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn the conference room. meone asked, “What’s going on? Mi verett didn’t come to the company again today”
“Yeah! Recently, Mr. Everett only shows up in the morning and is nowhere to be seen in the afternoon”
“Alas, do you thank Mr. Everett plans to withdraw from the Green Bay project
Chapter 457
No way! So much investment has already been made. It’s unlikely he would withdraw casily.”
“It feels like Mr. Everett’s mind is no longer focused on work, and he has lost his former invincibility in the business
world!”
“And there’s the issue of assaulting people, I wonder how it will be resolved.”
“Don’t worry about minor issues like that. Mr. Everett won’t be defeated so easily.”
“I heard that Yanice Group is also eyeing the Green Bay project!”
“Yanice Group?”
“That’s right!”
“Wow, now things are getting interesting! The vice president of Yanice Group has been at odds with Mr. Everett for
ten years. I bet the competition between them will be fierce.”
It was at the hospital.
*Bruce, take a rest! Lilia has fallen asleep. You should go back to work tomorrow.”
“Don’t bother that, I want to personally stay with Lilia. I feel more at ease that way.”
“I can handle things here alone; you don’t need to stay.”
“How can I leave? Lilia needs me right now, and I will stay here with her.”
“Joanna’s body trembled.
“Joanna, once Lilia recovers, let’s get remarried, shall we?”
Upon hearing this. Joanna’s eyes instantly wrinkled.
Remarrying?
She had never thought about such a thing!
“Bruce, please don’t bring up these matters. Right now, I just want to focus on curing Lilia’s illness. I don’t want to
think too much about anything else.”
Bruce’s eyes turned cold. “I know what you’re thinking. But I just want to tell you one thing: I truly love you, and you
love the children. I like the idea of being a family with you and Mia.
“I am willing to spend the rest of my life making up for the pain I caused you in the past! Joanna, so let me unravel
the knots. in your heart and walk back into your life? I’m giving you a chance, will you give me a chance?”
“Bruce, please stop talking.”
“Starting over isn’t as difficult as you think! You just need to take one step, and I’ll walk the rest of the way with you.
Can you do that?”
