Chapter 715
Bruce blinked slightly at Joanna, and a faint smile graced his handsome face.
Anyway, he had already made his will in advance.
He had already made his will last year, wherein all his assets were left to Joanna and the children. The will had been
kept in a safe, so Joanna was unaware of its existence.
If he were to pass away, all his money and shares of Everett Group would be inherited solely by Joanna and the
children. No one else would be entitled to a single cent of his assets.
And now, Bruce was willing to let Liam have custody since Liam desired it so intensely.
If Bruce caused any trouble during this period of time, Liam would be responsible for facing the consequences.
When Liam heard Bruce’s response, he was elated and wore a triumphant expression as he looked at Joanna.
Joanna felt a lump in her throat as if stuck by a fishbone.
“All right, it’s over.”
It was quick.
After a period of adjournment, another round of intense debate ensued in the courtroom.
The judge announced the verdict.
Custody of Bruce was granted to Liam.
This result was far beyond Joanna’s expectations.
Mr. Jameson was one of the most professional lawyers in Greyport, and perhaps even in the entire world.
However, he lost the lawsuit so easily.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Withdraw.”
The judge delivered the verdict.
Joanna appealed in court.
However, this did not affect Liam and Lola’s triumphant mood. They looked at Joanna with arrogance and said,
“Joanna, do you have anything else to say?”
Joanna had a solemn expression but couldn’t say anything.
With the impending birth and exhaustion, she didn’t have the energy to continue arguing with them.
The appeal must wait until the baby comes out.
“As Bruce’s guardian, I’m formally requesting you to vacate Sherane Bay Villa immediately and not bother Bruce
again,”
Lola was even more refreshed, and she asserted, “That’s right. Don’t assume I’m unaware of your intentions. Let
me be clear, with my husband’s presence, you won’t get a single cent of Mr. Everett’s assets.
“If you’re wise, leave Sherane Bay Villa before we take the necessary steps.
Joanna laughed and retorted, “Hmph, who are you to chase me away?
“Even if you’re Bruce’s guardian, I’m carrying his child now, and we already have three children together. Just
based on this, none of you can dictate what I should do,” Joanna asserted.
“Hmph, if it weren’t for the fact that you’re pregnant with Bruce’s child, I would haye evicted you from Sherane Bay
Villa today,”
As Liam spoke, he directed his gaze at Bruce. “Bruce, I promise to take good care of you in the future!”
Lola’s joy was evident as she urged Liam, “Hubby, what are you waiting for? Let’s bring Bruce home with us today!”
“I am going home with my wife!” Bruce declared, hugging Joanna’s shoulder affectionately.
“Uh… Liam frowned.
His original plan was to evict Joanna from Sherane Bay Villa as soon as he gained custody of Bruce,
Then, he would take over the Everett Group at the same time.
However, he had to take things one step at a time and proceed with caution.
Indeed, Joanna’s pregnancy made him cautious about acting hastily. He didn’t dare to use it recklessly, as it could
potentially impact public opinion and lead to unfavorable consequences for him.
“Bruce, haven’t I mentioned before that I would bring you to my house? From now on, I’ll take good care of you and
your life,” Liam said.
He was eager to gain control over Bruce’s freedom as soon as possible.
As long as he controlled Bruce, he would be controlling everything.
“Hehe, my wife takes care of me. Uncle, you just need to handle the business.
“My wife is about to give birth, and I need to be with her to take care of her,” Bruce explained.
Liam choked on his words and subconsciously glanced at Joanna’s belly
Liam realized that forcibly separating Bruce and Joanna now would undoubtedly have a negative impact on both of
them and those around them.
Furthermore, considering that Joanna had already given birth to three children for Bruce, and now she was
pregnant with another child, it was clearly unrealistic to simply kick her away and disregard their family situation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, Liam was aware that he held the power to distribute the assets. As for how much he would give her, it
depended on whether Joanna would comply with his wishes and be submissive to his control.
“Hmm, Mr. Everett’s suggestion seems reasonable. Let her take care of Mr. Everett for now! After the child is born,
we can take Mr. Everett with us,” Lola proposed.
“Okay, that makes sense,” Liam agreed, deciding not to further complicate things for Joanna.
Now that he had this judgment in hand, everything was under his control.
He was not afraid of Joanna’s tactics or schemes.
“Then go back with her first! I will pick you up in a while.”
“Alright, Uncle.” Bruce smiled at Liam.
Feeling pain in her belly, Joanna lacked the strength to argue with them any further.
“Let’s go too.”
”
“Honey, be careful. I’ll support you,” Bruce said quickly, moving forward to assist Joanna as she was experiencing
discomfort.
Back in the car.
Joanna could not help but look worried. “What exactly is going on?

‘Mr. Jameson is so professional. Why did we lose the lawsuit so easily?”
Bruce looked at her carefully. “Honey, are you angry?”
Joanna sighed helplessly.
He didn’t appear to be pretending to be foolish.
How could she argue with him?
