The servants also returned to their rooms consciously, not daring to disturb them.

Other than the master bedroom, the entire mansion seemed to be quiet.

Roxanne quietly came to the living room and saw that the study door was open and the light inside was still on.

Seeing this, Roxanne's heart was beating fast.

The last time she entered Bruce's study, she found nothing. Later, she never had a chance to go in again.

But now, looking around, there was no one. Roxanne sneaked into the study.

After searching around. Roxanne saw a stack of documents on the desk.

She picked it up and was instantly delighted. "That's great. It's the addendum to the Green Bay Property contract!" Bruce was flipping through the contract's addendum. As he argued with Joanna, he did not have the time to put it back in

the safe.

Roxanne hurriedly took out her phone and took pictures of the ten-page contract.

Then, she quietly sorted out the contract and slipped out of the study.

"With this document, I can learn more inside information!"

"Bruce, I'm going to ruin your reputation this time. Roxanne said viciously.

Because the study was bugged, she recorded snippets of the phone conversation between Bruce and Porash.

Although there was no conclusive evidence yet, judging from their conversation, it could determine that Bruce had signs of bribery.

The next day.

Joanna was still sleeping when Bruce woke up.

The soft hair covered half of her beautiful face. She looked like a small and fluffy cat.

She was exhausted. No woman could withstand Bruce's strength and frenzy.

Every time after having sex with him, it was as if all her energy had been drained. Her entire body was limp and weak. She had to sleep for a long time before she could recover. Looking at Joanna, who was still sleeping soundly, Bruce was satisfied. He gently kissed her forehead again and again. It was broad daylight, but he did not want to get up. Beep, beep, beep!

His private phone rang.

Bruce was afraid of waking Joanna, so he quickly muted the phone.

Then, he picked up the phone and left the bedroom. "Hello!"

Andy's anxious and careful voice came from the other end of the phone. "Mr. Everett, it's already half past nine. Are you still not at the company?"

Bruce was stunned. Only then did he remember that he had an important meeting today.

In addition to the company's top management, the partners would also come to the Everett Group for a meeting

"Please greet them first. I'll go to the company now!"

"Okay, well noted."

Bruce hung up the phone and hurriedly returned to his bedroom to change his clothes. He washed up briefly and went to the office.

In the conference room of the Everett Group.

All the executives had arrived. More than ten partners and shareholders had been waiting for more than 20 minutes.

"Why isn't Mr. Everett here yet?"

"He doesn't take us seriously. There are so many people waiting for him."

"That's right. His time management is bad. He said the meeting would start at nine o'clock, but it was already past ten o'clock. There's still no sign of him." The business partners couldn't help but complain. They were all well-known businessmen in Greyport. Many of them were from Bruce's father's generation. Now being suppressed by a junior, it was inevitable that there would be resentment. Chapter 450

In addition, Bruce had a bad temper and never took these old fellows seriously. It was conceivable that he had made many

enemies.

These people did not dare confront Bruce head-on on the surface, but many people wanted his downfall behind his back.

Andy was comforting everyone. "I'm sorry, there's a traffic jam on the way. Mr. Everett will be here soon. Please calm down." "Traffic jam? Can't he leave earlier?"

"That's right. Even if there's a traffic jam, it's impossible to be stuck for nearly two hours."

"I'll go and urge him again. Please be patient and wait."

Andy left the office, looking like he was going crazy.

Mark also looked anxious. "Andy, what's going on? Why isn't Mr. Everett here yet?"

"How would I know? I called Mr. Everett, and it took me a long time to get through"

"Hurry up and rush him again. These old fellows are about to flip out."

"Yes!"

Andy quickly called Bruce.

"Hello."

"Mr. Everett, where are you? The partners are already angry and are clamoring to leave!"

"I'm almost there! Please hold them off a little longer. Tell them I'm downstairs."

"Okay."

In the conference room.

The shareholders could not sit still anymore. "How can this happen? Mr. Everett is almost two hours late for such an important meeting."

"I feel that Mr. Everett is deliberately leaving us here. Let's go. I'm not attending the meeting anymore."

"I'm leaving too!"

"Dear directors, Mr. Everett is already downstairs. Please wait a moment."

"It's been two hours. Even if he's the president of the country, he can't keep us waiting."

More than ten shareholders stood up one after another and were about to leave.

The next second, Bruce pushed the door open and walked in.

"Sorry, I'm late!" Bruce rushed over.

Seeing that Bruce had arrived, the originally indignant partners instantly smiled again. "Mr. Everett, what's going on?" "Everyone is quite worried. We thought something had happened to Mr. Everett." Bruce's expression darkened slightly as he walked toward the front of the conference table. "I'm sorry. We're officially starting the meeting now."

More than ten business partners and shareholders glanced at each other before taking their seats.

They only dared to complain in private. In front of Bruce, they didn't even dare to make a sound.

"I've talked to everyone about the Green Bay project."

"This project will take at least 15 years to develop, and the investment is relatively huge. Everyone can voice out their opinions."

A business partner quickly flattered, "I don't have any opinions. We'll listen to Mr. Everett. We'll do whatever Mr. Everett says."

"That's right. We all have to rely on Mr. Everett to make us rich!" The others were also flattered.

Sherane Bay Villa.

Joanna slept until 11 o'clock before waking up in a daze.

the had never had habit of sleeping in unless Bruce had been having sex with her the night ore.

"Oh no, why did I sleep so late?" Joanna hurriedly got up. Her waist and legs were so sore.

After leaving the room, the servants greeted her with a smile, "Madam, you're up."

"Oh... Yes..." Joanna replied vaguely.

Chapter 450

"Madam, the breakfast is ready."

"I'll skip the breakfast. I still have to look at Lilia's medical report today. It's almost noon now. I can't be late."

Joanna went rushing to the hospital after a simple wash.

Half an hour later.

Children's hospital.

In the ward, Lilia was already waiting anxiously. Usually, her mommy would come to accompany her at around nine

o'clock.

However, it was almost noon, and Mommy was still not there.

When it was almost noon, Joanna finally arrived, panting.

"Lilia. I'm late."

"Mommy, why did you come so late today?"

"Oh. Mommy slept late last night."

Lilia glanced at her mommy and saw bruises on Joanna's fair neck. She could not help but turn pale. "Mommy, why are there so many purple marks on your neck?" "What?" Joanna subconsciously touched her neck.

Needless to say, it must have been left by Bruce. The bloody bastard loved this the most. She had left in a hurry and forgot to wear a silk scarf.

"Mommy, does it hurt?"

Joanna replied embarrassedly, "It doesn't hurt."

"Mommy, didn't you say that you wanted to come and see me with Daddy?

"Where's Daddy? Why isn't he here?"

Joanna's eyes darkened, and she smiled gently. "Daddy is busy."

As she spoke, the doctor pushed open the door and entered.

"Dr. Clayton!" Lilia greeted him sweetly.

Jordan also smiled kindly and came to the bed to tease Lilia.

Then, he looked at Joanna seriously. "Miss Haynes, please follow me to the office. I want to talk to you about Lilia's condition."

When Joanna heard this, her heart tightened. "Oh, okay."

"Lilia, Mommy will be back soon."

"Okay." Lilia nodded obediently.

Jordan brought Joanna to the office.

"Miss Haynes, I have bad news for you. You have to calm down and be mentally prepared."

Joanna's heart sank. She sucked in a breath of cold air. "Tell me. I can take it!"

Jordan adjusted his glasses and frowned. "The test results for Lilia are out. The results are not ideal"

When Joanna heard this, she felt a chill run down her spine. She looked at the doctor uneasily. "What's the result?"

"Lilia's leukemia has relapsed. She might need a second round of chemotherapy and a second bone marrow transplant."
