Chapter 735
Evan had been anxious for the past few days and was in an extremely bad mood, so he snapped, “How would I
know what to do?”
When Lola heard this, she could not help but wail. “What should I do in the future? I’ve just gotten pregnant, and
Liam actually suffered such a blow”
“How am I going to live in the future?”
Evan sneered and said sarcastically, “Whose fault is it? I told you that you shouldn’t get pregnant back then, but
you didn’t want to listen to me!”
“You brought this on yourself.”
“Evan, how can you say that? Liam is already in prison. Aren’t you anxious? He’s your father.”
Evan snorted coldly, his face filled with disdain.
Evan was indeed anxious that Liam was in prison, but fortunately, Evan was smart enough to rely on Lola to
influence Liam. He managed to get a lot of money from Liam.
Liam had already transferred a large portion of his assets to Evan.
Therefore, even if Liam went to prison, at most, Evan would not be able to get the remaining assets of Liam, and
Evan’s dream of getting Everett Group and becoming the richest man in Greyport would be completely shattered.
The other areas of his life would not be affected.
On the other hand, Lola was different. Although she had some money in her bank account, she and Liam were
husband and wife. They were bound together for better or worse.
Now that Liam’s assets had been seized, she was also in big trouble.
“Evan, I’ve been with you for so many years. Don’t leave me for dead! I have nowhere to go now!”
“What am I supposed to do? I can’t even protect myself now. Besides, you’re someone else’s wife. Why should I
care about you?” Evan took a deep breath.
When Lola heard this, she was stunned at first. Then, she gritted her teeth in anger. “Evan, how can you say such a
thing?”
“I married Liam because of you.”
“For me? Come on!”
“You’re doing this for glory and wealth!” The mockery and coldness in Evan’s eyes intensified.
He just wanted to use Lola’s young and beautiful appearance to deal with his stepmother.
Lola was useless now. She wouldn’t be able to help him now, so of course, he would not take her seriously anymore.
“Evan, I can’t believe you would treat me like this! So these are your true colors!”
“Hurry up and leave my house! Don’t come back ever again.”
As Evan spoke, he snapped his fingers toward the second floor.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA young and beautiful woman walked down the stairs with a smile. Then, she leaned into Evan’s arms coyly.
Seeing this, Lola was so angry that she thought she was going to have a heart attack.
“Evan, you’re shameless! You’re cheating on me!” Lola flew into a rage out of humiliation and wanted to hit the two
of them. Evan pushed her away fiercely. “Know your place. Don’t be unreasonable here.”
Lola staggered and almost fell to the ground.
At the same time, she finally realized how despicable Evan was.
“Fine! You’re really something. You win!”
“Just wait. I won’t let you go so easily,” Lola said in a heartbroken manner and staggered out of the villa.
In addition to Liam, three of Everett Group’s shareholders were also arrested.
After that, the lawyers presented their case in court.
Then, it was time for the judge to pass the sentence. The verdict of the court case was that they would be
imprisoned for at least ten years.
Because of this, the other shareholders of Everett Group became obedient at once.
The company quickly got back on track.
For the past few days, Bruce had been busy at the company. After getting off work at six in the evening, he would
go to the hospital to accompany Joanna.
Hence, he didn’t have the time to care about Aria in the past few days.
At the office, Bruce was meticulously going through business contracts.
Beep, beep, beep.
The phone rang.
“Hello…” Bruce answered reflexively.
Aria’s aggrieved voice came from the other end of the phone. “Bruce, are you busy?”
Upon hearing Aria’s voice, Bruce subconsciously frowned and said in a deep voice, “Yes. What is it?”
Aria didn’t say anything and just silently held her phone.
She had been in Greyport for a week.
Other than their meeting on the first day, they had never met again.
Her biology conference at Greyport would be over in a few days.
“Is there anything I can do for you?”
Aria remained silent.
“You can
tefl
1. I’ll get my assistant to do it.”
Aria was silent for nearly half a minute before saying softly, “Bruce, when do you plan to do what I told you
previously?”
When Bruce heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
He wanted to wait until Devin was one month old before going to Antlen to do this.
However, Aria clearly couldn’t wait any longer
“As you know, this virus vaccine is of great importance and concerns the interests of the country. We can’t delay it
any longer.”
“Oh, I’m already making preparations.” Bruce’s frown deepened.
“I can only take the time to go to Antlen after I’m done with my work.”
After hearing this, Aria fell silent again.
“What else is more important than this?”
Bruce remained silent.
He knew that this was a serious matter.
However, he just wanted to spend as much time as possible with Joanna and the children.
After all, this mission was extremely dangerous.
It was very likely that he would not be able to return.
At the same time, he couldn’t refuse. He could only do it himself because no other person could do it well.
“I’ll speed things up.”
“Bruce, are you… free today?”
“What’s the matter?” Bruce’s tone was exceptionally solemn.
“I-I want to see you!” Aria stammered, her face turning red.
I’m finished with my business at Greyport. I might be leaving here next week. I want to see you again before I go.”
Bruce pondered for a few seconds before agreeing. “Sure.”
“Then do you want to come over, or do you want me to go to you…”
“I’ll come to you.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you.”
“Alright, I’m hanging up now. Bye.”
“Byel”
Bruce looked at the time. It was three o’clock in the afternoon.
He could take the time to see Aria now and rush back to the hospital before six.
“Mr. Everett, are you leaving the company now?”
“Oh, yes. Take these contracts and mail them. Also, inform everyone that the afternoon meeting is canceled.”
“Oh, okay!” Andy replied and quickly went to deal with it.
Bruce left the company and drove to Riverview Villa.
At Riverview Villa, Aria was already waiting on the lawn at the entrance.
She was wearing the white cashmere dress she had worn when she came. She wasn’t wearing makeup and there
was a gentle smile on her exquisite face.
Bruce got out of the car.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAria walked over to him. “Bruce, you’re here.”
“Hi,” Bruce replied indifferently. He didn’t know what else to say after that.
“Why are you standing there? Come in.” Aria smiled gently.
Bruce was a little uneasy. “Aria, I only have an hour. If you have something to say, you
Aria was stunned.
FI
should
say it now.”
The tenderness on her face could not help but turn into disappointment.
“Are you so afraid of your wife?”
“No. I just promised her I’d be back before six.”
“Looks like you really love your wife.”
Bruce didn’t say anything to that.
“Bruce, this mission is very difficult. Why don’t I go with you?”
“No need. It’ll be more convenient for me to go alone.”
“So when do you plan to leave?”
“Probably the middle of next month.”
“Why is it taking so long?”
“I want to hold a wedding with my wife first…”
When Aria heard this, she looked at him in disbelief. “Do you think this is a good time?”
“Why is it not a good time?”
“What if… what if you don’t make it back? Won’t your wife be devastated?”
Bruce’s face darkened when he heard that.
He hadn’t considered this point.
He just wanted to make it up to Joanna and hold,a grand wedding with her.
At six in the evening, Bruce arrived at the hospital feeling uneasy.
“Joann, I have something to tell you.”
“What is it?”
“I’m going on a business trip to Antlen in a few days.”
“Oh, for how many days?”
Bruce frowned. “That’s hard to say. If it’s fast, it’ll take a week. If it’s slow, it’ll take ten days to half a month.”
When Joanna heard this, his eyes subconsciously trembled.
“Alright then. Come back as soon as possible.”
“I will.”
