Chapter 515
Because of the sudden withdrawal of the plaintiff who accused Bruce of bribery, as well as the lawyer’s effort, Bruce’s case became much lighter, and he was transferred to an ordinary detention center.
His family members were also allowed to visit him.
There were still several days before Christmas.
Joanna visited Bruce at the detention center for the first time.
Bruce, shaven–headed and wearing a prison uniform, was led into the visiting room by two guards.
Joanna was already waiting there.
Through the glass, they met each other with a hint of excitement in their eyes.
Joanna took the telephone handset and asked in a choked voice, “Bruce, are you okay?”
Bruce sat opposite her and held the handset. He reached out a hand and pressed it against the glass, signaling her to place. her hand on it.
Joanna was stunned for a moment, but she still placed her hand on his palm. Although they were separated by the glass, she seemed to feel him.
Bruce smiled at her without a trace of disappointment or pessimism in his eyes. “I’m fine. How about you?”
Joanna felt a lump in her throat. “I’m alright.”
“How about our three children?”
“They are all fine. They miss you very much and hope to see you soon.”
Hearing that, Bruce swallowed and stared at Joanna with his deep eyes. Her face was still so soft and beautiful that he could not get enough of her.
How he wished he could hug her now, even if it was just for a moment.
Joanna also looked at Bruce quietly. His appearance had not changed, yet he was obviously haggard and much thinner.
She could imagine that his life in the detention center was not that easy.
“Bruce, take care of yourself. I… I will wait for you.”
Bruce felt warmth in his heart, and he scratched the glass even harder. He could not grab Joanna’s hand, so he could only express his feelings in such a way.
“The shareholders in the company didn’t make things difficult for you, did they?”
Joanna pondered for a few seconds. Not wanting him to worry about her, she smiled and said, “No. Everything is fine.”
How was that possible?
Those cunning shareholders were always up to no good.
Fortunately, Joanna was strong enough to withstand pressure and didn’t compromise with them.
The shareholders could not stump her for the time being. It was just that they had been causing trouble for her behind her back, making her not dare to relax her guard.
Even though Joanna said so, Bruce could see the fatigue in her eyes. He said with pity, “If you can’t hold on anymore, take the children and live with them overseas. Don’t force yourself.”
In any case, Joanna’s happiness was of greater importance than the Everett Group.
Moreover, Bruce had invested more than 2 billion dollars in a trust fund for Joanna and three children each. Even if she didn’t work, they could live well.
However, if the Everett Group was not under the control of his trusted aides, it would probably be taken over by Liam
soon.
“It’s okay. I can handle it. You don’t have to worry too much. Three children and I are all waiting for you to come home.”
Bruce laughed bitterly.
He didn’t know how long it would take by the time he was released.
Chapter 515
“Mr. Jameson said that the plaintiff who accused you of bribery has withdrawn the lawsuit. I believe that the case will be resolved and that you will be released soon.” Afraid that Bruce would lose confidence, Joanna tried to comfort him.
Bruce had known about it.
Besides, he also knew who had plotted against him behind his back.
However, he was still troubled by something else, and it was impossible for him to get away easily.
“Time’s up. You should be leaving A police officer came and urged Joanna.
“Bruce, I’ll be leaving. I’ll visit you another day.” Joanna stood up and was about to leave.
Bruce’s eyes darkened as he said reluctantly, “Joanna, I love you!”
Joanna felt sad. She wanted to say that she loved him too..
However, she choke with sobs and could not utter a word no matter how hard she tried.
Time’s up. Leave now!”
“Okay.
“Bruce, I’m leaving. Take care of yourself. The children and I are looking forward to out reunion.”
The next day, Joanna went to the Everett Group as usual. Because it was the end of the year, she was even busier.
At the office, Joanna was dealing with work when Andy knocked on the door and entered.
“Miss Haynes, Miss Garcia said that she has something important to tell you, and it is about Mr. Everett. She’s downstairs. Do you want to see her?”
Joanna looked up and did not react for a moment. “Miss Garcia? Which Miss Garcia?”
“The daughter of the Garcia Group, Jennie Garcia.
Joanna was stunned. “Oh. Has she been discharged?”
“Yes. She’s in the lobby downstairs now. She said she would like to tell you something important about Mr. Everett,” Andy repeated.
Joanna thought for a few seconds and decided to see Jennie. “Let her in.”
“Okay,” Andy replied and turned to leave.
Fifteen minutes later, Andy walked into the office with Jennie.
Jennie was wearing a white dress and a luxurious fur coat. She looked noble and elegant with a unique aura belonging to
socialites.
“Long time no see. Jennie parted her red lips slightly and greeted Joanna with a faint smile.
“Miss Garcia, nice to see you again. Please take a seat.”
Andy asked respectfully, “Miss Garcia, do you want tea or coffee?”
“Lemonade, thank you.”
“Please wait for a moment.
After Andy left, Jennie sat down elegantly on the sofa and crossed her legs.
“Miss Garcia, what’s the matter?” Joanna stared at Jennie and asked.
