    Although Joanna had announced in front of the media that she had cut ties with Shaun, he was her


    father after all. She could not really take tough measures against him


    After the trouble caused by Shaun, the Haynes Group’s reputation could not get any worse. Apany


    name change was necessary.


    The inte was filled with news about Joanna angering her father to the point that he became


    paralyzed, driving her sister crazy and sending her stepmother to prison.


    Because of such news, there was nothing Joanna could do to clear her name.


    A ringing sound was heard.


    Joanna’s phone rang again.


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    “Hello, Cora, what’s up?”


    When Joanna saw that it was a call from Cora, her heart was in her mouth again.


    On the other end, Cora’s voice was a little grim. “Miss Haynes,e to Mossbourne immediately!


    *2 million dors was taken from the factory’s ounts. This money was set aside for the payment of


    taxes.


    “Now that the ountant has absconded with the money, it will be troublesome if the taxes can’t be


    paid.”


    “I got it!”


    “Also, the renovations for the mediapany in Greene Town are almostpleted. The remaining


    payment must be settled. We also need to buy various equipment and have the start–up capital.”


    Joanna sighed. “Around how much do we need?”


    “The final renovation fee is about 200 thousand dors. The purchase of equipment might cost 400 to


    600 thousand dors!”


    “Give me a list of the specific items!”


    “Alright, Miss Haynes! I’ll send it to your emailter.”


    “What else is there?”


    Cora said solemnly, “it’s almost the 10th. It’s time for the factory’s employees to get paid again. Now


    that the entire sum has been taken, we still need 400 thousand dors for the employees‘ sries!”


    “Okay, I got it!”


    After Joanna hung up the phone, her head throbbed even more.


    The capital ount of the factory in Mossbourne was short of 2 million dors!


    Including the money for the equipment and employees‘ sries, it added up to more than 3.2 million


    dors.


    Although she could afford to fork out 3.2 million dors, she had just invested 4 million dors to start a


    mediapany not long ago.


    She really did not have much cash in her hands now!


    However, if thepany did not pay the taxes soon, there would be endless trouble in the future!


    The ountant absconded with the money. She had no idea when she could get the money back.


    Joanna felt powerless. It was a really terrible feeling.


    Just when she was feeling vexed, a ringing sound was heard.


    The phone rang again.


    It was a video call on Messenger from Jaydon.


    “Hello, Jay!”


    “Joann, what are you doing?”


    “I’m at the office!”


    Jaydon looked at Joanna and said worriedly, “Why do you look so pale? Did you encounter some


    difficulties again?”


    Joanna supported her forehead with her hand. “No, it’s just a small problem. I can handle it. You don’t


    have to worry.”


    Jaydon pondered for a few seconds and said in a serious tone, “Joann, I’m your fiancé now. I hope we


    can be honest with each other!


    “You don’t rely on me when you’re in trouble. When do you n to rely on me then?”


    “… Joanna was at a loss for words.


    Her eyes instantly reddened, and her delicate shoulders trembled involuntarily.


    Through the screen, Jaydon could feel Joanna’s despair and frustration.


    “What on earth happened? Tell me quickly! Besides, I’m also a shareholder of thepany. I have the


    right to know what happened to thepany!”


    “Sigh…” Joanna let out a long sigh.


    Then, she briefly told Jaydon what had happened!


    Actually, even if she did not say it, Jaydon had a general idea.


    After listening to what happened, Jaydon smiled andforted Joanna. “It’s just 3 million dors. I’ll


    transfer it to you!”


    When Joanna heard that, she quickly refused. “Jay, no. You’ve already helped me too many times. I


    can’t let you help me again!”


    “Joann, I’m also a director of thepany. Now that thepany is in trouble, I must take


    responsibility!


    “I’m a man. Of course, I should bear the responsibility!”


    Joanna’s heart constricted, but she still refused repeatedly. “Jay, I’ll think of a way. Take care of yourself


    and undergo rehabilitation treatment.


    “You really don’t have to worry about anything else…”


    Jaydon smiled. “How about this? I’ll transfer 3 million dors to you. Take it that I’m investing in your


    new mediapany.”


    “Oh…”


    When Joanna heard that, she did not know what to say!


    The factory was set up in Mossbourne because she had a cash flow problem. Jaydon had already


    invested more than 6 million dors in herpany.


    If she still epted his investment now, she would feel bad about it.


    “It’s settled then. You don’t have to be anxious or worried. I can do everything!” Jaydonforted


    Joanna gently.


    He was already used to helping Joanna!.


    He liked the feeling of her relying on him. He liked the feeling of helping her solve her troubles even


    more.


    Money! He had plenty of it!


    Although his wealth could notpare to Bruce’s, his worth was more than 2 billion dors. In


    particr, he was Tim’s favorite son.


    He had the backing of the leading tycoon of the gambling industry in Venturas.


    At the Everett Group, Andy began to report on how they had attacked the Haynes Group during this


    period of time. “Mr. Everett, the share price of the Haynes Group has plummeted in the stock market.


    “If we attack them one more time, they’ll bepletely delisted!


    “Once they withdraw from the market, it won’t be long before they dere bankruptcy!


    “Also, several important higher–ups from the Haynes Group have been poached by the Everett Group.


    “If these important executives leave the Haynes Group, the situation will worsen for the Haynes Group.


    Thepany won’tst long then.”


    Bruce smiled darkly. “Very good!”


    Andy continued to report, “Miss Haynes’s factory in Porash has also made a loss of over 2 million


    dors. The ountant has already taken the money and gone to Elmerton. He probably won’te


    back for the rest of his life!”


    After Bruce heard this, he crossed his arms, and a sinister smile appeared in his eyes!


    At this rate, Joanna would go bankrupt in less than two years..


    “This isn’t ruthless enough. Add fuel to the fire. I must make sure Joanna can’t make aeback!”


    “Yes!” A trace of sympathy for Joanna appeared in Andy’s eyes.


    Joanna had offended Bruce, and the oue was really terrible.


    However, this had always been Bruce’s style of doing things. He would make whoever dared to go


    against him regret it.


    He was not a good person!


    The next day, at the Haynes Group.


    It was nine in the morning.


    Joanna was holding a meeting with the higher–ups to study the options for thepany name


    change.


    Over the past few days, she had too many things to worry about. She had to have meetings every day.


    Halfway through the meeting, a clicking sound was heard.


    The door was pushed open.


    Bruce was wearing a ck suit. His hair was neatlybed back, revealing his shaved sideburns.


    He looked noble, handsome, and stylish.


    However, there was an unfriendly glint in his sinister and ruthless eyes and a faint mocking smile on his


    lips.


    It was obvious that he was there to cause trouble.


    “Mr. Everett, why are you here?”


    “What’s the asion today? Mr. Everett hasn’t been to thepany for a long time!” Mr. Paul and Mr.


    Roger quickly stood up and behaved obsequiously.


    Bruce was clearly only 29 years old, and his 30th birthday was in the next half of the year. The two wily


    old men did not unt their seniority, nor did they dare to act superior in front of Bruce!


    Seeing this, Joanna’s heart sank. She had a bad feeling about this.


    “Bruce, why are you here?”


    “Well, Miss Haynes, how rare of you to ask such a question. I’m also a shareholder of thepany.


    Can’t I be here?”


    As Bruce spoke, he strode to the front of the conference table, pulled out a chair, and sat on Joanna’s


    right.


    “It looks like you guys are having a meeting. Go on. Don’t dy your meeting because of me!” Bruce


    smiled faintly with a mocking expression!


    “Yes, yes, yes. Let’s continue the meeting!”


    “Miss Haynes just proposed to change thepany name for the Haynes Group.”


    “Tell me. ‘Brain Industrial Co., Ltd‘ is such a good name. It’s a well–establishedpany, after all. Miss


    Haynes wants to change its name all of a sudden. Mr. Everett, what do you think of the name


    change?”


    Bruce’s eyes darkened. “Change thepany name?” He snorted.


    “Miss Haynes is the chairman. She can change thepany name if she wants to!”


    Mr. Roger and Mr. Paul were speechless. They did not expect Bruce to have no objections to this


    matter!


    Come to think of it, Bruce only concerned himself with thepany’s dividends but never participated


    in the management and operations of the


    He was busy enough with his ownpany, so he naturally did not have the energy to pay attention to


    the small profits of thispany!


    Joanna’s eyes flickered as she looked at Bruce warily!


    She knew that Bruce was definitely up to no good!


    “Then let’s continue the meeting! I now announce to everyone…”


    “Miss Haynes, I have some news to announce!”


    “Mr. Everett, please speak.” Everyone’s eyes immediately turned to Bruce.


    Bruce looked at Joanna mockingly. “It’s better that you speak after I’m done!


    “I now announce my withdrawal from the board of directors of the Haynes Group!”
