Chapter 475
“Bruce, can you tell me what you did?” Joanna looked at Bruce and asked between sobs.
Bruce’s heart ached even more and tears welled up again.
No one could keep clean in the dirty business world, let alone stay out of trouble.
The punishment for his crime might be severe or light. He could be sentenced to death or be considered not to have committed a vicious crime.
It was up to how the lawyer would fight for it. It would be best if he could be out of the hook after paying some fine.
If it couldn’t be solved by money, he would ask the lawyer to help him get a lesser charge so that he could be released from jail a few years earlier.
“Don’t ask me anymore. It’s not good for you to know too much.”
Joanna sniffed and punched him twice. “Bruce, you bastard! Why do you always make me cry?”
“Stop crying. This is not the time to cry.
“Don’t worry. I’ll be in jail for a few years at most. I’ll be out soon.
“Be good when I’m not around.”
Joanna didn’t answer and cried even more bitterly.
Bruce raised his eyebrows slightly and joked around with her, “If I’m only sentenced to three or five years, you have to wait for me and can’t have an ambiguous relationship with any other man.
“Of course, if I’m sentenced to more than 10 years, you don’t have to wait for me. Find a good man for yourself and marry him. But you have to leave my property to our children. I’ll be pissed off if you give my money to another guy.”
When Joanna heard this, she punched his chest angrily. “You bastard! what are you talking about? No one wants your stinky money!”
As Joanna spoke, tears streamed down her face.
Bruce chuckled and continued to tease her, “You’ve been hating me. Now I got what I deserved and might have to spend the rest of my life in prison. You should be happy, right?”
“Why are you still in the mood to tease me at this moment?”
“What can I do? It’s too late to regret now.”
Joanna threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly, crying.
At this moment, she really could not bear to part with him.
All the hatred she had for him in the past vanished in an instant.
She did not want to and she wouldn’t hate him anymore.
Bruce raised her chin and looked into her eyes affectionately. “Come on, stop crying. Even if I went to jail, I might be able to do something.
“If you have any problems that you can’t solve, you can ask me. I’ll leave all my most capable assistants and bodyguards to
you.
Indeed, even if he was put into jail, he might not lose control of the Everett Group. Joanna was just his spokesperson in the
company.
Of course, this spokesperson had to be someone he trusted the most. So far, the only person he could trust was Joanna.
Although Liam was his uncle and had helped him a lot in business, Bruce knew that he had long wanted to replace him and control the Everett Group.
Therefore, he would rather hand the company over to Joanna than to Liam.
Everyone in the conference room was in an uproar.
“Do you guys think Mr. Everett is crazy? It’s unbelievable that he handed the company to his ex–wife!”
“That’s
‘s right! His ex–wife is just a little girl. What’s so great about her? How could he appoint her as the Everett Group’s president?”
“Yes. That woman got everything she had by sleeping with men. If she were in charge of the company, it would definitely be
ruined.”
The major shareholders patted their chests and stomped their feet as they complained. They were so worried that their teeth began to hurt.

The vice president Tommy immediately comforted everyone, “Don’t say that. When Mr. Everett inherited the Everett Group, he was only 20 years old. Everyone thought he couldn’t run the company well.
“But what happened later? Not only did Mr. Everett manage the Everett Group very well, but he was also more enterprising than the previous chairman.
“So, it’s very likely that Miss Haynes can do a good job as well. Since Mr. Everett personally chose her, there must be something special about her. We should just do our part.”
“Hmph! Mr. Everett is doing this for his own benefit, not for the future of the Everett Group.”
“How can you put it that way? Mr. Everett is the largest shareholder of the Everett Group. He has the right to hand the company over to anyone!
