Chapter 671
Half an hour later.
Joanna and Bruce rushed to the Everett Group.
When the two stepped into the company, the receptionist was astonished to see Bruce.
“Mr. Everett… Miss Haynes…”
The two of them nodded slightly in greeting and entered the elevator.
“Wow, Mr. Everett has also appeared today. There’ll most likely be a terrific show to watch today,” the receptionist
at the front desk exclaimed.
Another customer service manager chimed in, “Mr. Everett seems quite normal, unlike what the reports have been
saying.”
“Sigh, Mr. Everett’s brain has been damaged. Of course, you can’t tell what’s wrong on the surface.”
“What a pity. I really want Mr. Everett to quickly return to how he was before.”
The director of customer service could not help but laugh. “Isn’t that so? I also want Mr. Everett and the company
to get back to where they were.
“A while back, Mr. Lurk mishandled the company and caused chaos. Despite Miss Haynes taking over and
showcasing her competence, she still can’t measure up to Mr. Everett’s abilities.”
The customer service manager nodded in agreement and said, “Of course! The Everett Group was built from the
ground up by Mr. Everett himself, making it a leading company. How can anyone compare to Mr. Everett?/
“That’s right. Mr. Everett represents the Everett Group’s corporate culture. No one can replace him…”
The few customer service managers who had gathered at the front desk could not help but muse and sigh.
Five minutes later.
Joanna and Bruce did not bother taking the express elevator and went straight to the president’s office.
Sitting at the secretary’s desk, Andy and Mark looked anxious.
“Mr. Everett, Miss Haynes, you’re finally here.”
“Mr. Lurk dispatched a group of people to break down door to the president’s office. They’re currently clearing up
the things inside…”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen Joanna heard this, her face turned ice-cold. “Let’s go and take a look,” Joanna said.
They walked past the fitness area and went straight to the administrative office.
The door to the president’s office had already been unlocked. A few employees wearing work attire were occupied
with packing up items.
There were already some cardboard boxes filled with Joanna’s personal items.
“Mr. Everett is here. Stop what you’re doing!”
The employees outside quickly stopped. “Mr. Everett and Miss Haynes are here!”
One by one, those who were about to move the objects halted their actions and purposefully took positions on
either side of the hallway wall.
“What are you doing? Who gave you permission to touch my stuff?
“Who allowed you to enter the president’s office?” Joanna scolded sternly.
The employee’s leader said in a low voice, “Mr. Lurk told us to pack your things.”
“Even Mr. Lurk isn’t qualified to enter the president’s office. What right does he have to order you to enter?” Joanna
reprimanded.
The employees bowed their heads and kept quiet.
“Well, we’re a moving company. Whatever the client wants us to move, we must do it without any hesitation!”
“So if the client wants you to move money out of a bank, will you do it?”
The moving company’s leader heard this but did not have the courage to respond.
“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and move the things back. If any items are missing, I would like to know how
you plan
up for the losses.”
to make
“Okay, okay, okay. We’ll move everything back immediately!”.
The moving company’s leader quickly ordered everyone to move the items back into the office as he was speaking.
“Where’s Liam? Tell him to come over quickly!” Joanna’s tone was cold as she called Liam’s real name.
She used to call him Mr. Lurk out of respect for the fact that he was Bruce’s uncle.
However, it was no longer necessary to treat him politely.
After a while.
Liam brought a large group of people over from his office.
“I was the one who asked them to move it!”
“Liam, this is the president’s office. No one is qualified to move the stuff here except for the president of the
Everett Group.” Joanna sternly remarked as her gaze fell on Liam.
“Don’t you think you’re overstepping your authority?” Liam retorted.
Liam straightened his back and said, “Joanna, as the second-largest shareholder of the company, I order you to
leave the Everett Group immediately.”
“I’ve also officially filed a lawsuit with the court asking you to compensate for all the damage caused to the Everett
Group during this period of time.”
Joanna became enraged upon hearing this. She laughed icily. “You’re really pushing your luck.”
“Bruce is here now. Are you planning to kick him out of the corporation too?”
Joanna pushed Bruce toward Liam as she spoke.
When Liam saw Bruce, he was so terrified that he scurried behind the bodyguards to hide.
“Bruce, your mind isn’t clear right now. I naturally have to take on the president position in the company.”
“So, you’re planning to fire Bruce and take over the Everett Group as president, right?” Joann retorted sarcastically.
“Joanna, the will in your hand doesn’t count at all! Bruce’s brain isn’t working, so of course I have to be president!”
Although Bruce’s mind was not clear, he could tell that they were talking about him.
Bruce took a step towards Liam with his long legs, looking like a lion approaching its prey.
Liam became even more frightened after seeing this. As Bruce approached, he shoved the bodyguards to the front.
“What are you doing, Bruce?
“Bruce, I’m doing this for your own good: Don’t fall for this woman’s trap…”
Bruce had previously been punched in the mouth at City Hall, resulting in the loss of one of his teeth. Moreover, his
face was still swollen on the left side..
Liam naturally did not dare to approach Bruce and hid behind the bodyguards.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEvan’s lumbar spine was also fractured. He was currently still lying in the hospital and could not move.
Bruce stared blankly at Liam, who was hiding from him. “I’m warning you, don’t bully Joanna!
“Otherwise, I’ll knock all your teeth out.”
When Liam heard this, he was even more frightened. “Bruce, you’re really not clear-headed. This woman is
scheming against you. You can’t listen to her…”
“Hey, hey, hey- Don’t hit him! Hurry up and stop him!”
In order to stop Bruce, the bodyguards could only block him. “Mr. Everett, please stop acting so irrationally. Please
calm down.”
“Get out of my way!” Bruce’s hawk-like eyes revealed an unfriendly glint.
Bruce, you can’t hit me anymore. I’m your uncle. I’m the person closest to you. How could you hit your uncle like
that? “Joanna, I’m taking Bruce to the hospital for a test later.
“The court will be in session next week. In the meantime, you are not to approach Bruce, let alone incite him to
attack
others.”
Joanna sneered coldly. “Liam, you embezzled the company’s money privately and haven’t made up for it yet. I’ve
already officially charged you with embezzlement. You’d better spit out the money quickly.”
“Heh, you’re not even a member of the Everett Group. What right do you have to interfere in our internal affairs?”
Liam
snorted.
“I’m now the company’s acting president. I represent Bruce,” said Joanna.
“That’s what you said. We didn’t agree to it.” Liam did not back down.
They were at daggers drawn.
After hearing the news, the other shareholders also hurried over.
The entire office building floor was filled with people.
Upon seeing the situation, Mr. Xander quickly put on a smile and tried to mediate, “Miss Haynes, Mr. Lurk, please
calm down.
“Everyone, sit down and talk calmly. Let’s think of a way to get the best of both worlds.”
