Chapter 670
“Sigh, Bruce, when will you recover?” Joanna’s tears streamed freely as she spoke.
Bruce looked carefully at Joanna. “Honey, why are you crying?
“Did I do something wrong again? Did I make you angry?”
“No…” As Joanna spoke, she tenderly caressed his neck and cradled him in her arms!
Bruce obediently snuggled in her arms and pressed his ear against her belly. “I can feel movement!”
“Honey, if I can feel movement from your stomach, does that mean the baby is moving?”
Bruce was pleasantly delighted when he felt the baby’s movements.
“That’s right! Devin is due in a few months.”
When Bruce heard this, he laughed even more heartily. “Be good, little baby. Don’t kick Mommy.”
“If you hurt Joanna, I’ll spank you!”
The next day!
Joanna still decided to take Bruce to the hospital for an IQ test.
“Honey, where are you taking me?”
“I’m bringing you to the hospital for a checkup.”
Bruce looked horrified when he heard this. “I don’t want to go to the hospital. I’m scared!”
Joanna exhaled a sigh. Her heart was aching somewhat.
“Be good and give it all you’ve got. I’ll never leave you again, no matter what. You’re not thinking clearly right now. There are bad people devising schemes to take your assets.
“I’m doing everything I can to protect your and the children’s rights. I hope you won’t hold it against me when you’re sober.”
“Alright!” Bruce did not want to irritate Joanna, so he obediently agreed to go to the hospital.
Shortly after.
Joanna brought Bruce in for a neurological checkup.
Subsequently, Joanna filed a lawsuit in court seeking a change in the custody of the three children.
At the same time, Liam also sued Joanna. Joanna was asked to stay away from Bruce, and Liam wanted to be Bruce’s guardian.
When the higher-ups of the company found out about this, they discussed animatedly and created a stir.
“Have you heard? Mr. Lurk is suing Miss Haynes!”
“Why haven’t I heard about such a big thing?”
“Mr. Lurk wants to take custody of Mr. Everett. But that sounds a little strange.”
“What’s so strange about that? I think it’s very normal, okay?”
“I’m not sure if Mr. Everett is considered lucky or unlucky. I mean, he lost his parents at a young age and doesn’t have any siblings.
“Look what happened to him now. What’s the use of having such assets? He can’t even make a decision for himself!”
The other higher-up also looked indignant. “Isn’t that so? He has so much money. It’d be odd if others weren’t jealous of
him.”
“Anyone related to him will most likely rush to get a share of his assets. Mr. Lurk also happens to be Mr. Everett’s only biological uncle. He won’t pass up such an excellent opportunity.”
Actually, everyone was well aware of Liam’s intentions.
However, aristocratic families were inherently complex, and the situation with Mr. Everett was even more intricate. Apart from being mere spectators, others had no right to intervene.
Joanna was preparing to change the custody of the children.
Beep, beep, beep.
A call from Andy came in.
“Hello
“Miss Haynes, please hurry up and come to the company!”
“What’s wrong?”
“Mr. Lurk has forcefully ousted you using his position as the company’s second-largest shareholder.”
Joanna was taken aback. “What?”
“He said that the will in your hand is fake,” Andy replied anxiously. “He wants to fire you in the name of the company’s second-largest shareholder!”
“He’s back in charge as acting president!”
Joanna inhaled deeply. “Liam is going way too far!”
“He has already sealed your office and cleared up all of your belongings. Please come over as soon as possible…”
“Alright, I understand. I’ll be right there.”
Joanna hung up the call.
Joanna went upstairs to change her clothing before heading to the meeting.
“Joann, what happened?”
“I have to go to the company now!”
“Joann, your body is so weak now. You shouldn’t be running around,” Miranda said worriedly.
“No, I have to go to the company now. If I don’t go now, it’ll be too late.”
Joanna had already gone upstairs to change as she spoke. At the same time, she notified Carson and Darcy to go to the company together.
Five minutes later.
Joanna dashed downstairs after changing.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Bruce rushed after her. “Honey, where are you going? I’d like to go along with you!”
“Be good. Stay at home and don’t go anywhere. I’ll be back soon. School will end soon for Davian and Irvin. Let them play with you first.”
“No, I simply want to follow you. Where are you going? Anyway, you can’t just leave me here. I’m afraid you’ll vanished…” Bruce glanced pityingly at Joanna..
Seeing this, Darcy said, “Mrs. Joanna, let Mr. Everett follow you!”
“That’s right! Only Mr. Everett has power over Liam. It would be best if he could give the father and son a good beating. They’re simply too much.”
Joanna paused for two seconds before concluding that he was correct. The father and son were practically begging for it. It would be amazing to let Bruce bash them up once more. “All right, let’s get in the car.”
