The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 508

“That’s right! Also, Mr. Lurk is always the one who collaborates with our business partners in Escostan! You just take

over the president position now, so there are still a lot of things that you are not familiar with yet. We are worried

that you could not handle those people there!”

Joanna’s eyes darkened instantly. She knew that these few people were trying to make things difficult for her. “So?”

“So, we would like Mr. Lurk to take care of the matters in Escostan since he is very familiar with the situation there!”

In fact, before Bruce was sent to jail, he had taken away most of Liam’s rights. The few important projects that he

was in charge of previously had been handed over to others as well.

“Yes, that’s right! Miss Haynes is still new to the Everett Group. Why don’t you familiarize yourself with the

corporate culture first?”

Upon hearing what they said, Joanna could not help but twitch her mouth into a sneer.

These few cunning people were indeed bullies who preyed on the weak.

Bruce had just been sent to jail. Yet, they could not wait to fight for some powers in hand.

“No worries. Just focus on the work that is assigned to you. As for other people’s work, you don’t have to worry so

much

about it!”

“Miss Haynes, you have to take the company’s future into consideration first!”

Joanna sneered angrily as she said, “Well! How did you know that I can’t take on the job?”

The shareholders who spoke just now were speechless all of a sudden.

They did not expect this lady to be such a sharp tongue.

“That’s not what we meant! We just want you to familiarize yourself with the operation of the company and the

Everett Group’s culture first!”

Joanna interrupted that person instantly. “I think I am already familiar with the culture of the Everett Group. So, you

don’t have to worry about it. All you need to do is to cooperate with me and focus on your assigned tasks.”

Joanna glanced at everyone calmly after she finished her words.

Each and every projects of the company were like scepters, the emblem of authority. If the scepters were

scattered, it would not be easy to retrieve them back eventually.

Especially now that Bruce was in jail, she had the obligation and responsibility to guard every inch of the land that

belonged to the Everett Group.

When Liam heard about it, he could not endure it any longer. He retorted, “Hmph! I know Miss Haynes is capable!”

“But, Bruce is in trouble now. As his wife, don’t you think that it is better for you to hire a good lawyer to clear his

name and get him out of jail first?

“As for the business affairs, you could decide after Bruce returns!”

In other words, they felt that Joanna should spend her effort on rescuing Bruce from jail instead.

After all, a lot of women were in such a manner. Whenever their men were in trouble, the women would be in a

mess while crying and begging people for help.

As for all these cunning people here, this was what they wanted to see on Joanna.

However, Joanna was not a pushover! She would not be instigated by these cunning people. She knew that it would

not be easy for Bruce jo clear his name in such a crime!

Furthermore, even if he had to be sentenced and appealed, or reduced the sentence to the minimum, it would be

years. before he could be released from jail.

If Joanna did not manage the company for a few years, she bet that the Everett Group would be taken over by

someone else by that time.

“Thanks for your concern!

“I will let Mr. Everett know about your concern tool”

“That’s right! I think we should cooperate with Miss Haynes on her work!”

“Now that Mr. Everett is in trouble. We are not sure when he is coming back too.”

“We have to work together as one!” A few of Bruce’s trusted subordinates started to speak up for Joanna.

“Didn’t Mr. Everett say before? Whoever has doubts about Miss Haynes’s capability could quit and resign from the

Everett

Chapter 508 Group!”

The few shareholders led by Liam went silent all of a sudden!

Among these 20 shareholders, even though there were quite a lot of Liam’s followers, most of them were Bruce’s

alliances.

Upon seeing everyone had gone silent, Joanna flipped open the booklet in her hand and said, “Let’s continue!”

“From now on, I will come to work as usual to handle all the company matters. I hope that everyone will cooperate

with

me.”

After the meeting ended, Joanna packed her things and left the conference room.

Andy was in charge of Joanna’s daily work arrangements. “Miss Haynes, this is Mr. Everett’s office. You may use it

from now

onwards!”

“Got it!”

“This is the key to the office safe and these are all kinds of information you might need to know. If there is anything

that you don’t understand, you may ask me anytime.”

“All right. Thank you, Andy.”

“Well, I shall make a move first.”

Joanna replied with a hum.

Andy and Mark were Bruce’s special assistants. They had been following Bruce for many years.

Now that Bruce was not around, they had the obligation to assist Joanna.

However, even though the two of them were capable, Joanna felt like having a female assistant by her side instead.

Therefore, Joanna took out her phone and made a call to Cora.

“Ring!”

Cora picked up the call soon. “Hello, Miss Haynes.”

“Hello Cora, how are you recently?”

“Miss Haynes, I heard that something happened to Mr. Everett.”

“That’s right. How’s the company on your side?”

“Everything is fine. Don’t worry, Miss Haynes!”

“I would like you to return to Greyport to work for me.”

Cora went silent all of a sudden.

“What’s wrong? You are not willing to do so?” asked Joanna in doubt. In fact, she trusted Cora’s ability very much.
