The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna) novel Chapter 610

Chapter 610 

“They want custody of the children? What right do they have?” 

Gael frowned and said sincerely and earnestly. “Madam, you need to know that Mr. Everett has no parents, let alone siblings, Especially when you and Mr. Everett haven’t been really remarried yet. 

“And the children are still young and don’t have the ability to be independent. To put it bluntly, if anything really happens to Mr. Everett, with the Everett family’s huge business, how can others not covet it?” 

“…” Joanna was shocked and could not help but gasp. 

Indeed, Bruce had no parents, no legal spouse, and no siblings, 

If he really died, though the three children were his heirs, they were still young and needed someone to be their guardian. Bruce did not make a will either. 

And Liam was Bruce’s uncle. Even if they didn’t get along, they were still related. Liam, of course, was eligible to apply to be the children’s guardian. 

Of course, his real goal was not to take good care of the children. Instead, he wanted to control the Everett Group’s huge billion-dollar assets by being the children’s guardian. 

The kids were only 6 years old this year, and there would be too many changes before they turned 18. Whoever acted as their guardian during this period was equivalent to holding the Everett Group’s billion-dollar assets. 

“Mr. Miller… He can’t be that shameless, can he?” 

When Gael heard this, a bitter smile appeared on his face. “Madam, human beings die in pursuit of wealth, and birds die in pursuit of food. You must know that, right? 

“If Mr. Everett is a pauper, no one would care so much about him. However, Mr. Everett is the richest man in Greyport. He has more than billion-dollar personal assets. Mr. Miller is his only blood relative. Do you think he doesn’t have other thoughts?” 

Joanna felt a chill in her heart when she heard that. 

After Bruce’s accident, she was inconsolable with grief. She placed all her energy on saving Bruce’s life. 

As for other things, she really did not have the energy to think about them. If not for Gael’s sudden reminder, she would not have thought of this at all. 

After all, in real life, when a nephew died, very few uncles would be so shameless as to fight for property. 

Seeing Joanna’s expression change, Gael reminded her again, “Now, Liam has used Mr. Everett’s accident as an excuse to act as the company’s acting president. 

“If he wants to completely control the Everett Group, his next plan will definitely be to fight for the custody of the children. If he gets the custody of the children, all the assets of the Everett family will probably end up in his pocket.” 

Previously, Bruce had invested more than 2 billion dollars in a trust fund for all three children. Even if he died, the children would have nothing to worry about. 

However, the Everett family had businesses all over the world and countless properties. These assets were all under his personal name. He was so young, so he naturally had yet to make a will. 

After he died, someone would definitely have to take control of these assets. 

“Then Gael, what do you think we should do?” 

“What I mean is, Madam, you have to be prepared in advance. Don’t be immersed in sorrow. You have to be prepared in advance for that.” 

Joanna narrowed her eyes and took a deep breath. “I know. Thank you for your reminder, Gael.” 

“Madam, you’re welcome. I’m also very sorry that something happened to Mr. Everett. I’m very sad. 

“Although you didn’t remarry Mr. Everett, 1 know that Mr. Everett wants you to inherit everything of his.” 

“Thank you!” 

The next day. 

“Babies, Mommy is going to the hospital to accompany Daddy again today. I might not have time to accompany you guys recently. Be good.” 

The three children nodded heavily. “Okay, Mommy, don’t worry! We’ll be good.” 

Joanna squatted down and kissed the children’s faces one by one. “You’re really Mommy’s good babies.” 

“I’m leaving.” 

“Bye, Mommy.” The three little guys waved at their mommy reluctantly. 

Joanna’s eyes stung. She could not bear to look into the children’s eyes anymore and quickly got into the car. 

But now, she didn’t have the time to keep the children company, Bruce needed her more than the kids did. 

“Let’s go to the hospital.” 

“Yes, ma’am,” the driver replied and started the engine. 

At the hospital, Liam and his wife, Lola, appeared in the doctor’s office early in the morning. “Doctor, how is Bruce? What are the chances of him waking up?” 

The head of the surgical department looked solemn as he said ambiguously, “Well, it depends on his recovery. I can’t give a definite answer at present.” 

Lola pursed her lips and said impatiently, “Doctor, just tell me a little. With his current situation, can he survive? How much can he recover?” 

The doctor flipped through the medical record and said solemnly, “Well, Mr. Everett’s current situation is not very optimistic. The chances of him waking up are not very high!” 

When Lola heard this, her eyes lit up and she quickly asked, “Then what are the chances?” 

“According to Mr. Everett’s current situation, even if he wakes up, I’m afraid he won’t be a normal person. He won’t be able to recover to his previous state.” 

“Are you saying that he might become a vegetable?” 

“…” The doctor did not answer. His expression became even more solemn. 

When Liam and Lola saw this, they looked at each other and felt more confident. 

Bruce had such a bad accident. Even if he barely survived, he would be a vegetable. 

A vegetative person was naturally no different from a dead person. He could not do anything. Liam was his only relative, so he naturally had to take care of everything for him. 

Lola was secretly delighted. 

When Bruce had an accident, the Miller family benefited from it and became the biggest beneficiary!
