Chapter 776
“Mr. Everett, the fastest flight would be afternoon two days later…”
“Arrange for a private plane immediately.”
Kody said anxiously, “It’s cloudy now. Even if it’s a private plane, the fastest would still be the day after tomorrow.”
Tommy could not help but persuade him, “That’s right! Your body is seriously injured. You should stay in the hospital
for two more days.”
Bruce frowned in frustration. “Arrange for the fastest flight as soon as possible.”
“Whether it’s a regular flight or a chartered flight, whichever is the fastest, use that one.”
“Will do.”
“Cough cough… Hiss…” Bruce coughed twice and subconsciously frowned.
His left shoulder hurt terribly.
Even if it was just a cough, the pain spread through the nerves of his entire body, causing cold sweat to break out.
“Mr. Everett, let’s help you back to the ward first,” Kody and Tommy said as they carefully went forward to help him
up.
“You don’t have to help me.” Bruce gritted his teeth, supported himself with determination, and walked towards the
ward while covering his wound.
Back in the ward.
Bruce sat on the bed and subconsciously took out his phone to send Joanna a message.
“Joann, something came up, and I was delayed. I will return to the country as soon as possible. Once I am back, I
will explain everything to you.”
Buzz…
Message sent…
The text message failed to send, and a big red exclamation mark popped up.
“You’re not Messenger friends yet. Please add as a friend first…”
Bruce, “…” Did she delete him?
“Damn it!”
Bruce was so angry that he took two deep breaths and immediately dialed Joanna’s number.
Beep, beep, beep.
“Hello, the number you have dialed is currently engaged. Please try again later.”
“…” Bruce frowned.
What was going on?
He was persistent and made three more attempts, and the line was engaged for all the attempts.
He quickly understood.
Joanna not only deleted him in Messenger but also blocked his number.
“Cough cough…” Bruce was so angry that he coughed twice and almost vomited blood.
This damn woman dared to block him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhy couldn’t she be more… understanding?
Last month, he transferred more than 14 billion dollars in assets to her. This heartless woman, even if it’s for the
sake of money, Joanna shouldn’t have offended him.
“What’s going on? Is she going to cut ties with me?”
Bruce became more and more uneasy as he thought about it.
This damn woman had so much money. What if she went to find that scumbag Jaydon.
Then he’ll be left with nothing, losing money and his reputation.
Thinking of this, he felt even more anxious and nauseous.
Joanna was very likely to look for Jaydon. Every time she encountered a difficult situation or was feeling
heartbroken.
That Jaydon scoundrel will surely take advantage of the opportunity to emerge as the knight in shining armor.
“Damn woman, if you dare to betray me, I will definitely… cough, cough…”
After imagining the worst, Bruce’s anger flared up, and he panted a few times. His chest was in so much pain as
though it was about to explode.
The thought of that cunning woman, always knowing how to control him through his weaknesses, made his chest
ache with frustration.
She never seemed to be understanding. She was always out of his control, often driving him crazy.
However, the more difficult it was to subdue her, the more he found himself irresistibly drawn to her.
Kody saw that he was so angry till he panted. He thought he was mad about being unable to get a flight today.
Kody braced himself and comforted him. “Mr. Everett, it’s a cloudy day. The flight was being delayed for safety
reasons.”
“This is an external factor. There’s no way to avoid it!”
“You should stay in the hospital for two more days.”
“Got it,” Bruce replied angrily.
There was nothing he could do, even if he was anxious.
While still feeling mad, the door was pushed open with a click.
Aria walked in with eyes red and puffy. She said weakly, “Bruce…”
Bruce’s expression turned cold. He said with disgust in his tone, “From now on, I don’t want to see you again.”
Aria was stunned for a few seconds. Her tears flowed down continuously. “Bruce, are you really angry with me?”
“Take her away. I don’t want to see her anymore. Don’t let her come to the ward again.”
“Okay, Mr. Everett.”
the two bodyguards spoke, they immediately went forward to chase her away. “Miss Bridges, please make your way
out.”
“Bruce, Bruce, I don’t have any ill intentions. I didn’t want to hurt anyone…” Aria said weakly.
Her legs went soft, and she staggered forward.
With a determined heart, Bruce refrained from reaching out to her.
The assistant beside her did not help her up either. Aria fell weakly to the ground.
Her vision turned black and she fell into a coma.
“Kody, take her to the ward.”
“Get her a nurse.”
“Will do.”
Soon.
Kody found a nurse and carried Aria into a wheelchair before pushing her out.
Subsequently, Bruce informed Leo to come over and take care of her.
He wasn’t in the mood to ask about Aria anymore.
He just wanted to return to his country immediately.
Since the misunderstanding with Joanna could not be resolved, he was not in the mood to do anything else. This
damn woman dared to block his mobile number.
Yes, it seemed like she dared to do whatever she wanted just because he loved her.
How dare she block him…
Indeed, if a woman is not dealt with firmly, she will never know the terror of a man.
Bruce lay on the hospital bed with his mind in a mess. Then, he borrowed the bodyguard’s phone to call Joanna.
Beep, beep, beep.
The call went through quickly.
On the other side…
Joanna’s phone rang. She saw that it was a call from Antlen. She immediately hung up and blocked the number.
She didn’t want to hear anything about Bruce and Aria anymore.
Therefore, as long as it was a call from Antlen, she would block it and hang up.
“Damn it.”
“Joanna… Would you only be satisfied once you angered me to death?”
Since the call couldn’t go through, he didn’t want to try calling again.
He only wanted to return immediately.
He would then throw her on the bed and teach her a harsh lesson.
A disobedient woman like her could only be taught a harsh lesson through this method. Only by making her
completely submissive then would she be obedient.
Damn that woman.
She just needed to be taught a lesson.
Ever since she got pregnant, he happened to be in a car accident. Hence, she had not been taught a lesson for
nearly a year.
So, her arrogance grew stronger and stronger. Thinking back to the past, she used to be so obedient and
submissive in front of him. How could she dare to be so arrogant in front of him now?
When he returned, he had to reorganize himself.
Two days later.
After enduring for two days.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBruce rushed to the airport with his men.
At the airport.
Dressed in a black suit, Bruce sat on the chair with a gloomy expression and waited.
“Mr. Everett, the tickets are ready. You can check in now.”
“Yeah, sure.”
The assistant began to lift the large box containing the mummy.
While he was handling the consignment.
Suddenly…
A few people in police uniforms walked over with solemn expressions.
The leader was a blond-haired, blue-eyed Antlen citizen. He looked like a police officer.
Bruce knitted his brows, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.
He had seen this person at the auction.
At that moment, he felt something was off with the person, and he turned out to be a police officer.
“Roger that, Roger that.” The blond-haired, blue-eyed police officer said something into his headset while he
searched the crowd.
They had already received a confidential report that a foreign spy would steal the RA-3 virus shortly.
However, this source of information was not very accurate. He could not be sure which country the agent was
from.
Seeing this, Kody and the others also became nervous.
“Mr. Everett, what should we do?”
“It’s okay. Calm down.”
Five minutes later.
The blond police officer led a few people and targeted Bruce.
“What’s inside?
“It’s an artifact.”
“Are the goods declared?”
Kody quickly pulled up all the permits and paperwork and handed them to the police officer. “These are all the
approved permits.”
The blond police officer glanced at the permits and looked at Bruce with a faint smile. “We need to check again.”
“Okay.” Bruce shrugged with a relaxed expression.
Soon.
A few police officers dragged the big box to the examination room at the side and began inspecting it.
“Mr. Everett…” Kody looked worried.
Bruce’s expression was dark. There was nothing unusual on his face..
“What’s in here?”
“These are antiseptic and mold-proof items. They are all qualified.”
“Those required a special declaration. The process may not be that quick.”
“How many more days?”
“Well, these tests take a special route. If it’s fast, it’ll take an hour or two. If it’s slow, it might take a week or two.”
“Mr. Everett, what should we do?”
Bruce smiled calmly at the police officer. “Okay, we’ll cooperate fully with the test.”
