“Alright! I’ll ask him out but the rest is on you.”
Jennie was overjoyed. “Yes, yes, as long as you asks him out.”
Zachary had no choice but to take out his phone and call Bruce.
Beep!
Bruce was busy at the company.
The Everett Group was currently preparing to develop Green Bay and invest billions of dollars in the construction of Porash’s largest 5A amusement park.
They were about to get the file issued by the government, therefore, Bruce was under great pressure.
“Hey…
“Bruce, it’s me, Zachary.”
Bruce laughed. “I know. What’s the matter?”
“Look at what you’re saying. Can’t I call you for no reason?”
“What is it? Hurry up and say it. I’m busy!”
“The person you introduced has officially started working today. Look, I handled it for you!”
Bruce sneered. “Hehe, is that what you want to tell me?”
Jennie listened from the side and kept gesturing to her brother to get down to business.
“Yeah, how are you going to thank me?”
“What do you want?”
Zachary waved his hand at his sister, indicating that she must be patient. “It’s been a long time since we drank together. How about treating me to a drink!”
“Ugh!” Bruce frowned.
He had been very busy recently, and he had already decided to quit drinking.
“Let’s have a private party. There are a few new models in my company. All of them are very hot.”
Bruce snorted. “Forget it, I’m not interested.”
“You, you’re almost becoming your wife’s slave now. There are so many beautiful girls out there, why do you have to be so devoted to only one person?”
Bruce didn’t say anything and just smiled!
Although he had been angry with Joanna for the past few days, he wouldn’t make such mistakes.
It wasn’t easy for him and Joanna to get closer.
He did not want to destroy it.
“Answer me quickly. Are you coming or not?”
“I’m really busy. I don’t have time!”
“Come on. I’ve helped you so much. You have to treat me to a drink!”
“I will, but later when I am free.”
Jennie was even more disappointed when she heard that Bruce refused the invitation.
Zachary snorted and could not help but say, “You’re a busy person. It would take ages for you to be available.
“Alright then, I know I am not important to you. You won’t drink with me anyway.”
Zachary provoked him on purpose!
Bruce could not refute her. “Alright, alright, alright. I’m afraid of you.
“Then wait for me at the old place tonight, I’ll treat you to a drink!”
When Zachary and Jennie heard this, they instantly became happy. “Then it’s settled! See you tonight!”
“Yes. See you!”
“Okay, bye for now.”
At Sherane Bay Villa.
It was past nine in the evening.
Bruce was not back yet. It started to rain.
Joanna looked at the time. It was already half past nine!
Usually, at this time, he should have returned long ago.
Joanna decided not to wait for him any longer. She was ready to take a shower and sleep!.
Lilian rushed out of the room Lilia and said nervously, “Miss Haynes, bad news. Miss Lilia is having a fever again.”
When Joanna heard this, her heart tightened. She hurriedly went check on Lilia.
In the children’s room.
Lilia lay on the bed, looking groggy.
“Lilia, how are you?” Joanna touched her daughter’s sick head.
“Mommy…” Lilia opened her eyes dispiritedly. Her forehead was burning and her face was red.
Joanna’s heart tightened. She quickly touched her daughter’s body.
It was also very hot as well.
The laboratory report from Lilia showed that her platelets ratio was very low. The doctor said that she might have a leukemia attack. And having a fever would make her immunity even weaker.
“Lilia, I will take you to the hospital now,” Joanna said and wanted to pick up her daughter.
Rumble!
Crack!
It began to rain heavily outside, and muffled thunder rumbled. Lightning tore through the night sky one after another, and strong light shone into the house!
“Mommy. I’m scared!” Lilia was most afraid of thunder. Every time there was thunder, she would tremble in fear.
“Don’t be afraid. Mommy is here.”
“Mommy, where’s Daddy? I miss Daddy!”
Most daughters would feel safe with their father by their side. Lilia was no exception. She kept looking for Bruce.
“Let me call him now. He might be dining with business partners.”
“Okay!”
Joanna took her phone and called Bruce!
At Dynasty Nightclub.
In a luxurious private room, the lights were dim.
Bruce was surrounded by all kinds of beautiful and enchanting girls, who tried to curry favor with him.
Buzz!
Bruce felt the phone vibrate and his heart tightened. He guessed that it might be Joanna calling him.
He took out his phone and saw that it was indeed Joanna.
Seeing Bruce’s serious expression. Zachary could not help but tease again, “Bruce, it’s rare for us to have fun together. No one is allowed to answer the phone. You must enjoy tonight!”
“Hehe…” Bruce laughed dryly, pressed the phone silently, and then stuffed it back into his pocket.
This damn woman finally called him!
But he refused to answer the call.
He wanted her to be anxious.
“Come, go on. Drink!”
The two beauties who were hugging her left and right also started to persuade her to drink with a charming smile. “Mr. Everett, you should often in the future!”

Chapter 441
That’s right. We all miss you!”
“Mr. Everett is a perfect husband. It was hard to get him out. Serve him well.” Zachary teased.
It was as if Bruce being a devoted man was such a strange and funny thing.
After all, almost all the rich men in Greyport were playboys. Almost all of them had countless lovers.
Bruce was an exception.
“Mr. Everett, it would be a pity if a successful man like you doesn’t have some female friends!”
On Joanna’s side.
Bruce didn’t answer the phone. She was even more anxious, feeling a little uneasy.
