The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 474

“I will temporarily transfer all my authority to Miss Haynes.”

Everyone looked at each other, their eyes popping out in shock.

Liam’s face darkened at Bruce’s words. He was so angry that he felt like he was about to explode.

Over the years, he had been doing his best to assist his nephew until he became the richest man in this city.

He didn’t believe Bruce’s business would have developed so smoothly without his effort.

Because of this, he took it for granted that Bruce would leave the company to him during his absence. However,

things didn’t go as he expected.

Obviously, Bruce did not trust him. At this critical moment, he would rather give the power in his hand to an

outsider than give it to his biological uncle.

Liam felt disappointed to the extreme and hated Bruce even more.

Bruce looked at Joanna with a smile and said solemnly, “Miss Haynes, from today onwards, you will officially join the

Everett Group.

“During this period of time, I’ll hand over all my work to you. You have to familiarize yourself with the management

model of the Everett Group as soon as possible.”

Joanna took a deep breath and whispered, “Bruce, stop joking around!”

“Alright. That’s all for today’s meeting.

“Starting tomorrow, Miss Haynes will be your new president.”

“Huh? Well…” Everyone smacked their lips, not knowing what to do.

Bruce wrapped his arm around Joanna’s shoulder and left the conference room.

When they reached his office, Joanna couldn’t hold it in any longer. “Bruce, are you crazy?”

Bruce smiled calmly. “No.”

Joanna scratched her head anxiously. “You… I was not prepared at all when you suddenly announced your decision.

How can you hand over such a huge company like the Everett Group to me?”

Bruce grabbed her shoulders and laughed mockingly. “What’s wrong? Are you afraid?”

“You should think it over before you made such a decision!” Joanna complained, as anxious as if she was being

roasted on fire.

The Everett Group had a total market value of hundreds of billions. It had dozens of shareholders and none of them

were easy to deal with.

She really didn’t have the confidence to manage the company well.

“Haven’t you always been very confident? Didn’t you say that I limited your ability at work?

“I’m giving you the chance to fulfill your potential. Isn’t that great?”

Joanna let out a long sigh and said anxiously, “I… I really can’t do it. Come on, leave the job to someone else.”

The management of the Everett Group was 100 times more complicated than that of the Haynes Group. A small

company already made her feel mentally and physically exhausted, let alone the Everett Group.

There was no way she could handle it.

“Why? I believe in you. You can do it.” Bruce looked at Joanna firmly.

He had a foreboding that he would not be able to get away this time and might really be imprisoned for a few

years.

At this critical moment, he would not feel at ease handing the company over to anyone. Right now, the only person

he trusted was Joanna.

Only by handing the Everett Group over to her could he ensure that it would fall into someone else’s hands.

“I really can’t. I’m not capable enough to complete such a tough mission.”

“Joanna, give yourself some confidence. I’ll support you from behind. You can ask me anytime if there’s anything

you don’t understand.

“Actually, you don’t need to do anything other than pass on the message to me.”

When Joanna heard this, she grew even more nervous. She looked at Bruce in horror and asked, “Wh–What do you

mean by that? Where are you going after you hand the company over to me?”

Bruce paused for a few seconds and then looked at Joanna seriously. “Listen to me. I might really go to jail.

“The shareholders of the company might not be on my side. If I really go to jail, they will definitely show their true

colors and cause trouble.”

Joanna was terrified. She held Bruce’s arm tightly and stammered, “But, L..I really can’t…”

“There’s nothing you can’t do. During this period of time, I’ll hand over my work to you. Ask me if there’s anything

you don’t understand.

“Don’t worry, I’ll arrange for someone to support you and I’ll also teach you how to deal with those people.”

“Bruce, don’t be like this!” Joanna’s eyes instantly turned red. She threw herself into Bruce’s arms and hugged him

tightly.

She did not want anything to happen to Bruce. She did not want him to go to jail.

“For our kids and for me, you have to be strong!”

“Bruce, you can’t let anything happen to you. The children need you…”

Tears sprang to Bruce’s eyes. He lowered his head and planted a kiss on Joanna’s lips.

It took him a long time to let go of her.

When Bruce raised his head, his eyes were filled with tears and his voice became hoarse. “In this world, I don’t trust

anyone except you.

“Don’t be afraid. Even if I go to prison. I’ll be out soon. Are you willing to wait for me?”

Tears streamed down Joanna’s face.

She never expected that Bruce would go to jail one day.

Seeing that she was crying, Bruce smiled with tears in his eyes, wiped her tears away with his hand, and said.

“Come on, don’t cry. Seeing you cry makes me feel even worse.”
