Chapter 530
Joanna’s eyes were filled with vigilance. She completely ignored Liam’s exasperation.
Joanna would not react so dramatically if Liam just came to visit on any other day. But today, Joanna had just been
shot by the criminals, and Liam had come to the door.
It was hard not to connect the two things.
In particular, if something happened to Joanna and her child. Liam would undoubtedly be the biggest beneficiary.
“Mr. Miller, it’s getting late. I think it’s time for you to leave. I won’t keep you for dinner.” Joanna’s heart was in
turmoil as she directly ordered Liam to leave.
When Liam heard this, he was even angrier.
Bruce, Liam’s nephew, did not take Liam seriously. Now, even Joanna was going against Liam.
How the husband and wife were in cahoots was disgusting for Liam.
“Hmph!” Liam snorted and walked away.
Liam left the house.
Davian and Irvin looked at their mommy in confusion. “Mommy, why are you so angry toward Granduncle?”
Usually, their Mommy was very gentle. She was especially polite when she face her elders.
But today, Joanna was like a bulldog. She was not gentle at all.
“Davian, Irvin. In the future, when Mommy is not by your side, you can’t accept anything from anyone.” As Joanna
spoke, she took away all the gifts that Liam had given to the children.
After all, there were a lot of radioactive chemicals now. A little bit of them mixed into a child’s toy would produce a
huge amount of radiation, causing the child to be unconsciously prone to a serious illness.
Now, all Joanna cared about was her children. She had to be prepared in advance for even the slightest danger.
The two little guys looked at the brand new limited edition toy and were reluctant to part with it. “Mommy…
Joanna coaxed her children patiently. “Be good. What do you like? Mommy can buy it for you. Don’t accept gifts or
food from strangers, understand?”
“Yes, yes, I know!” Davian and Irvin replied and obediently handed all the toys to the servants.
Joanna frowned and said, “Lilian, Ryodan, clean up these things.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Yes, ma’am.”
Joanna instructed the servants.
Joanna was physically and mentally exhausted, and she felt a little dizzy. Joanna sat weakly on the sofa.
Davian and Irvin hurriedly went forward to check. “Mommy, what’s wrong?”
“Mommy is fine,” Joanna said as she stretched out her arms and hugged her two sons with lingering fear.
“By the way, Mommy needs to make a call. You guys go out and play first!”
“Oh.”
Joanna suddenly thought of something and quickly took out her phone to call Gael.
Beep, beep, beep.
The call went through.
Joanna wanted to ask about Kody and Andy.
Gael answered quickly. “Hello, Miss Haynes.”
“Gael, are you in the hospital now?”
“Yes, I am.”
“How are Kody and Andy? Are they seriously injured? Will their lives be in danger?”
Gael’s heart sank, and his tone was extremely solemn. “Kody was shot in the chest. He’s still being resuscitated.
“Andy’s condition is slightly better. He’s injured in the thigh of his left leg. His life is not in danger.”
“What about Tatiana?” Joanna asked anxiously.
Chapter 530
Gael said in a deep voice, Tatiana suffered a knife wound and is currently being treated. She is safe now.
“Kody is in a critical condition. Miss Haynes, you have to be mentally prepared. He might not be able to survive
this…”
When Joanna heard this, her heart tightened even more.
Kody had driven for Bruce for many years and was Bruce’s favorite and trusted driver.
“Gael, you must ask the doctor to save Kody by all means. He must use the best medicine, and tell the doctor to
save his life at all costs.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“Then that’s it. Call me immediately if anything happens.”
“Okay, I will”
“Then I’ll hang up first.”
Joanna hung up the phone.
She was still worried. Firstly, she was worried about Kody’s injuries. Secondly, she was scared because the criminals
had not been caught yet.
These criminals were too crazy and audacious. It could be told that the person behind the gunshot must have a
powerful background.
Joanna still couldn’t figure out who had done this to her.
Davian and Irvin went to the living room for a walk and returned to Joanna’s side. They could tell that there was
something wrong with their mommy today. They were also very worried.
“Mommy, what’s wrong? Why are you in a daze?”
“Mommy is fine. Hurry up and go upstairs to sleep after you’re done eating.”
“Mommy, can you bring us out to play tomorrow?” The children still did not know that their mommy almost could
not make it home today.
Joanna frowned. “Be good. Stay at home for the next few days and don’t go anywhere.”
“But it’s Christmas now. It’s too boring to stay at home.”
Joanna’s face darkened. It was rare for her to speak to the children in such a cold tone. “You have to stay at home
even if you’re bored.”
“Hurry up and go back to your rooms to sleep. Otherwise, Mommy will be angry.”
“Oh, alright!” Seeing that their mommy was angry, the two little guys did not dare to say anything else and quickly
returned to their room obediently.
Soon, the police began to conduct an investigation. It was a vicious crime with a bad social impact.
When the police arrived, the criminals had already abandoned the car and fled.
These criminals were obviously not from the country. Many of them were smuggled from poor countries in
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSoutheast Alendor.
Those people specialized in doing the dirty work.
Once they failed, they would escape by boat overnight. Therefore, it was very difficult to capture them. If the
criminals were not caught on the spot, it was almost impossible to capture them later.
The next day.
Joanna did not sleep the entire night. She woke up early in the morning.
[There was a shooting on Eastern Avenue, seriously injuring three people.]
The target of the gunshot is suspected to be the Everett Group’s new president.]
In the detention center.
Bruce was special. Therefore, he lived in a separate cell that was even equipped with a television.
After watching the news early in the morning. Bruce was so shocked that his scalp went numb. He felt as if the
blood in his body flowed backward.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!” Bruce pounded on the prison door.
A guard walked over. “What’s the matter, Mr. Everett?”
“I need to make a phone call!”
Chapter 530
“No, you’re still in custody….”
Bruce’s eyes widened and he shouted, “I have to make a call now, or you have to bear the consequences.”
Seeing that Bruce was agitated, the guard did not dare to act on his own. He quickly went to ask his superior.
Bruce’s request was approved by the higher–ups.
Bruce finally got the phone and immediately called Joanna.
“Beep, beep, beep.”
“Hey…”
“Joann, it’s me.”
Joanna was stunned and asked in disbelief, “Bruce, why are you calling me?”
Bruce frowned and asked anxiously, “There was a shooting last night. Are you alright?”
“I’m fine!” Joanna stammered.
