Chapter 95
Bruce thought for a moment and raised his eyebrows slightly. He sneered and said, “Since the Skywinds Group and the Neorace Group are so keen to cooperate with the Haynes Group, let them cooperate!
“With such a huge production capacity, the Haynes Group simply cannot handle it given its current capabilities.
“Purchase a large number of raw materials from the market. The Everett Group’s microchips are not allowed to be provided to the Haynes Group.”
Andy was left speechless. He was shocked when he heard that.
Bruce’s actions undoubtedly meant to force the Haynes Group into a dead end.
The Neorace Group and the Skywinds Group were both in the electronics industry. Both needed microchips. However, only the Everett Group could produce this kind of microchips currently.
Andy said. “Mr. Everett, the Haynes Group’s finances are in a very bad state and it may not be able to continue much longer.
“If these two orders cannot be fulfilled in terms of quantity, the Haynes Group may have to pay so much in breach of contract penalties that it will go bankrupt.
“You are also a shareholder in the Haynes Group. Are you sure you want to do this?”
Bruce smirked wickedly and said, “Yes, I’m sure.
“It’s even better if the Haynes Group goes bankrupt. The Neorace Group and the Skywinds Group will then have to come back and beg the Everett Group.”
“Oh, then I will arrange it right away,” Andy said.
Bruce blew out the last smoke ring and pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray.
Despite his outward appearance and actions, Bruce had a different plan in his mind.
If the Haynes Group went bankrupt, Joanna would lose her confidence. At that time, she could only rely on him.
At the Everett Group half an hour later.
Bruce returned to the company and started to tackle the backlog of work that had accumulated during his absence.
In the afternoon, Roxanne went to the company to see him.
Bruce was reading the contract when Andy knocked on the door and entered. “Mr. Everett, Ms. Haynes is here,” he said.
Bruce, upon hearing this, showed a hint of disgust and said, “I’m not going to see her. Just say that I’m in a meeting.”
“Okay!” Andy said.
Andy then left the office.
Roxanne was waiting in the lounge.
Andy walked over and smiled politely. “Ms. Haynes, Mr. Everett is in a meeting,” he said. “I’m afraid he doesn’t have time to see you.”
Upon hearing this, Roxanne’s pretty face showed disappointment. She asked, “Oh, when will Bruce finish the meeting?”
“It’s hard to say,” Andy said. “It may take a whole day.”

Roxanne’s eyes flickered. “I’ll wait for him here then,” she said.
“Alright then!” Andy said as he gave a warm smile. After pouring a glass of water for Roxanne, he went back to work.
She waited and waited until it was eight in the evening.
After a busy day, Bruce finally finished his work.
He was like this. If he was not working, he would completely stay away from work. Once he started working, he would devote himself wholeheartedly.
Bruce straightened his back and stood in front of the large floor–to–ceiling window, overlooking the night view of Greyport.
Greyport was renowned for its beautiful night scenery, earning it the nickname “City of Lights.”
In the evening, the city was lit up with dazzling lights. It looked like a sparkling treasure city.
As he looked at the neon lights outside the window, he suddenly felt a sense of melancholy and loss.
The image of Joanna’s beautiful yet stubborn face, when she huddled on the sofa in a distressed state, involuntarily emerged in his mind.
In the morning, he had been too harsh on her. She was so delicate and frail, so she must have been injured.
“It’s past eight o’clock!” Bruce said. “What is Joanna doing now?”
Bruce then picked up his coat and left the office.
He had just left the office and had not even pressed the elevator button yet when Roxanne came running from the lounge and said, “Bruce, have you finished your work?”
Bruce turned around and saw that Roxanne had yet to leave. He could not help but frown. “Why are you still here?” he said.
Roxanne bit her lower lip gently like a child who had done something wrong. “I, um. I’ve been waiting for you,” she said.
“Have you been waiting since this afternoon?” Bruce asked.
Roxanne’s eyelashes fluttered, and her tone carried a hint of grievance as she said, “Yes.
“Are you done with your work now?”
“Yes, yes, I’m done!” Bruce said.
Roxanne looked at Bruce carefully and said, “Shall we go have dinner together?”
Bruce’s brows were still tightly furrowed. “I want to go back to the Everett mansion to see Grandma,” he said. “Let’s do it another day!”
I’ll come along with you to see her then,” Roxanne said.
“It’s okay,” Bruce said. “Grandma sleeps early these days. Let’s not disturb her, okay?
“I’ll send you back.”
“Bruce…” Roxanne spoke hesitantly and looked at Bruce pitifully.
Bruce was expressionless. “I’m a little tired today,” he said. “Let’s have dinner together another day.”
As he spoke, the elevator arrived.

Bruce went straight to the elevator. Roxanne had no choice but to follow him into the elevator.
