Chapter 507
Chapter 507
After Bruce was taken away, Mr. Jameson rushed over along with his assistant too.
But this time. Bruce was detained directly and was disqualified from bail.
In less than a day, the news that Bruce was arrested was exposed.
“Latest news, Bruce Everett has been arrested by the Anti–Corruption Bureau. The police attached great importance to this case and have set up a special task force to investigate this matter.”
“If convicted. Bruce Everett could have faced the maximum penalty of life imprisonment!”
“The Cradle Will Rock! Greyport Number One noble young master has fallen…”
All kinds of news about Bruce going to jail were spread on the internet. The netizens were watching the fun while the troll defamed and criticized him unscrupulously.
“Oh my god! It seems that the matter is real!”
“I am pretty sure that it is true! He was already being arrested once some time ago. Now that the police have new evidence against him. I guess that he will be sentenced to jail for sure!”
“Hmph! None of these rich people are clean and innocent! The capital of these monopolistic industries should have been suppressed long ago!”
Soon…
A big group of police officers went into the Everett Group and started to investigate. Fortunately, Bruce had destroyed most of the information.
In the blink of an eye…
Bruce was already being arrested for five days.
In the past five days, even though Joanna was anxious, she could not do anything to help at all. The lawyers were more experienced in such a case. Hence, it would be best to leave the case to them.
As for Joanna, the only thing she could do now was to take good care of the children and take on the burden of the Everett Group.
“Mommy, where’s Daddy?”
“We have not seen Daddy for the past few days.” asked the three kids in confusion.
In fact, the kids had been asking about their father’s whereabouts these few days.
Joanna was speechless. Her eyes darkened as she choked with sobs.
Lilia was very unhappy. She pouted her tiny mouth and said, “Mommy, it’s been a few days since we last saw Daddy. Where
is he?”
Joanna rolled her eyes slightly and caressed her daughter’s hair as she said, “Daddy has to deal with some troublesome. matters now. So, he might not be coming back for the time being!”
“I see. Did Daddy go on a business trip overseas?”
“Nope!” Joanna’s eyes darkened as she said. She did not want to say much about it.
Upon seeing Joanna’s reaction, Davian and Irvin knew that something was wrong.
The two of them had stronger instincts as compared to Lilia. In fact, their Daddy had been arrested once some time ago.
It seemed that their Daddy was being arrested again.
Davian then asked Joanna cautiously, “Mommy, is Daddy a bad guy?”
Joanna was stunned. She asked her son in confusion, “Why are you asking this?”
“Then, why Daddy was being arrested by the police?”
Lilia was so shocked upon hearing it. “What! Daddy was being arrested?”
Joanna kept quiet. She did not know how to react to their questions.
After giving it a thought, Joanna stared at the three children. She knew that she could not hide it from the kids any longer. Hence, she decided to tell them the truth!
“Nobody is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes!
Chapter 507
“Even the best make mistakes sometimes. But, if you know how to learn from mistakes and are willing to correct them, you are still a good kid.”
“Do you mean that Daddy has done something wrong?”
Joanna’s eyes darkened again. In fact, these things were hard to say. It depended on how it was justified.
It was absolutely useless to say anything right now. Only the lawyers could clear Bruce’s name now.
“Even though Daddy had been arrested by the police, it doesn’t mean that he is a bad guy.
“Daddy might have done something wrong. But, Mommy believes that Daddy has learned his lesson and will correct his mistakes for sure!”
“Then, when is he coming back?”
Joanna took a deep breath and said, “Perhaps, he would not be able to come back for quite some time. Don’t ask about this matter in the future!
“Daddy will return when it is time for him to come back.”
“Okay. The three little fellows did not ask anything further for fear that their Mommy would get angry.
The next day.
At the Everett Group.
In the conference room, the shareholders were discussing animatedly about this matter. “Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! I bet that Mr. Everett is doomed this time!”
That’s right! What should we do now? It has been days that no one cares about our work. Miss Haynes did not come to the company too.”
“Don’t worry! If anything were to happen, someone from the upper management will deal with it first.”
As they were talking….
