Chapter 220
“Come back with me…” Bruce forcibly carried her off the operating table and walked out.
Joanna’s face was filled with panic. She struggled with all her might in his arms. “Let go of me, Bruce.
Can you not be so domineering?”
Bruce ignored her resistance, dismissing it entirely!
His grip tightened around her like a pair of steel pincers, rendering her powerless to struggle.
In the hospital corridor, a few security guards approached, brandishing batons. The nurse pointed at
Bruce, her voice trembling with horror. “Someone’s causing trouble. It’s them!”
“What the hell are you doing? Who the hell are you?” The security captain pointed his baton at Bruce,
his posture exuding authority.
Bruce paid no heed to his outburst and continued walking straight toward him.
Bruce possessed an inherent aura of power. It was evident that he was someone not to be provoked!
The security captain didn’t dare to impede him. He quickly stepped aside, making way for him.
Andy and Kody calmly dealt with the situation. “It’s just a misunderstanding!
“We’re just looking for someone!”
Observing the numerous bodyguards apanying the group and the absence of any casualties, the
security captain didn’t dare to intervene.
He didn’t dare to obstruct them at all, allowing the group to leave.
Bruce carried Joanna and confidently strode out of the hospital, capturing everyone’s attention!
“Oh my god, why does that person bear such a striking resemnce to Bruce Everett, the wealthiest
man in Greyport?”
“How is that possible? Why would hee to Mossbourne Hospital?”
“But he really looks like Bruce Everett!”
Porash’s proximity to Greyport meant its residents were naturally familiar with Bruce.
Even the nurses and patients chased after them, eager to witness themotion.
At the hospital entrance, Bruce forcefully pushed Joanna into the passenger seat.
Without waiting for the driver and bodyguards to catch up, he took the wheel himself.
Vroom!
He pressed down on the elerator.
The powerful engine roared like a ferocious beast, propelling them forward.
“Bruce, are you out of your mind” Joanna dreaded being in Bronce’s car
Despite wearing a seatbelt, she hastily grasped the car’s overhead exfery handler
Bruce, that jerk, had a severe case of road rage! When he was in a bad mood, the chances of getting

said that this child has nothing to do with you”
Bruce drove his face contorted in an indescribable expression
Last night, he scorned the child growing within Joanna, and today he had intended to pressure her to
have an abortion?
But when he discovered that Joanna had already gone to the hospital for the procedure before him, he
suddenly felt
remiorset
Afterward, anger consumed him entirely.
“What do you want?” Joanna asked.
Bruce remained silent as the car sped up!
Joanna no longer dared to use him, she could only suppress her anger tightly!
Bruce had an explosive temper, and she couldn’t evene close to matching his outbursts.
One hourter. Bruce drove back to Greyport and took joanna directly to Reagan No 8 Residence
The car came to a stop on thewn, and Bruce forcibly pulled Joanitia out of the car
The bodyguard swiftly approached and parked the car in the garage
“Bruce, what on earth are you nning to do?” Joanna asked
Bruce didn’t uiter a word as he carried her into the house
Then, he led her to a room and ced her on the bed
“Joanna, you can’t leave here until I’ve made up my

Joanna’s eyes filled with immense shock, and she impulsively leaped off the bed, eximing, “What do
you think you’re doing? Are you trying to imprison me?”
“Do as you wish!” Bruce said as he turned and walked out of the room.
Joanna desperately tried to follow him, but it was already toote.
Bang!
Bruce forcefully closed the door and locked it with the key.
Outside the room, several maids stood obediently, ready to receive instructions.
“Keep a close watch on her and make sure she doesn’t leave the room!” Bruce ordered.
“Yes!” the maids respectfully responded.
“Also, ensure her safety and prevent any risky behavior! She’s pregnant now, and nothing should harm
the baby!” he added.
“Yes, Mr. Everett!”
After giving his instructions, Bruce disregarded Joanna’s shouts from inside the room and left.
Outside the vi, over ten bodyguards and more than twenty servants wore solemn expressions.
Initially, there were only seven or eight servants, but Bruce wanted Joanna to move in, so more than
ten maids were sent here a month ago.
Inside the room, Joanna continued to pound frantically on the door. “Bruce, you’re insane! You can’t do
this to me. It’s an illegal detention, and I’ll sue you!”
Joanna’s phone had also been taken away, and she was locked inside the vi with no means of

contacting the outside world.
On thewn, Bruce chain–smoked.
He regretted iphow; he was determined to make Joanna carry this child to term.
Only he could decide whether to keep his child or not.
He grew increasingly impatient with this woman who had secretly wanted to terminate their child!
“Bruce, let me out! Let me out!” Joanna shouted.
Ms. Chain, who stood by the door, advised her, “Ma’am, please calm down. It’s not good for the baby if
you get so agitated.”
“Just let me out!”
“Ma’am, without Mr. Everett’s instructions, we can’t let you out. Please stay calm!” the maid insisted.
Joanna found herself trapped, a captive in her own circumstances.
It was as if she stood at death’s doorstep, feeling desperate. She pounded on the door, shouting,
“Where’s Bruce? Tell him toe here! I need to see him!”
“Madam, if Mr. Everett wants to see you, he’lle on his own, the servant insisted.
The constant use of “Madam” only added to Joanna’s irritation, fueling her frustration.
She detested being addressed that way.
“Don’t call me Madam. I have nothing to do with Bruce. We’re divorced!”
“Please, calm down, Madam! Mr. Everett has already left. Your shouts won’t change anything…”
No matter how much Joanna yelled and cursed, the servants didn’t dare to release her!
Ms. Chain and Nancy had been maids at the vi even before Joanna and Bruce divorced.
Now that Joanna had returned, they secretly hoped for a reconciliation between her and Bruce.
At 8 pm. Jaydon’s ne hadnded!
Beep beep beep!
As soon as Jaydon disembarked, he immediately dialed Joanna’s number!
They had agreed on the phone that Joanna woulde and pick them up!
However, upon leaving the airport, he couldn’t find Joanna anywhere!
He tried calling multiple times, but the calls wouldn’t go through!
[Joann, where are you now?]
[What happened? Why aren’t you answering my calls?]
[What’s going on? Call me back!]
Jaydon bombarded Joanna with more than a dozen messages, but she remained unresponsive.
Jaydon’s heart skipped a beat. Joanna would never ignore his calls like this!
There was only one possibility: something must have happened to her!
Jaydon couldn’t help but panic and quickly dialed Coco’s number!
“Hello, Mr. Grimm…”
“Cora, where’s Joanna? Do you know where she went? I’ve been calling, but she hasn’t answered.”
Cora sighed helplessly. “Mr. Grimm, she was taken away by Mr. Everett!
“I don’t know where he took her. Searching won’t do any good!”
Jaydon felt devastated upon hearing the news!
Bruce Everett again!
He knew something had gone terribly wrong with Joanna!
Unbelievably, Bruce refused to let her go!
“Mr. Grimm, don’t worry too much. Perhaps she’ll answer tomorrow!”
“Alright…” Jaydon furrowed his brow, let out a sigh, and ended the call.
He had already witnessed Bruce’s true nature!
If Bruce had taken Joanna, looking for her would be futile for some time.
