Chapter 507


    After Bruce was taken away, Mr. Jameson rushed over along with his assistant too.


    But this time. Bruce was detained directly and was disqualified from bail.


    In less than a day, the news that Bruce was arrested was exposed.


    “Latest news, Bruce Everett has been arrested by the Anti–Corruption Bureau. The police attached


    great importance to this case and have set up a special task force to investigate this matter.”


    “If convicted. Bruce Everett could have faced the maximum penalty of life imprisonment!”


    “The Cradle Will Rock! Greyport Number One noble young master has fallen…”


    All kinds of news about Bruce going to jail were spread on the inte. Theizens were watching the


    fun while the troll defamed and criticized him unscrupulously.


    “Oh my god! It seems that the matter is real!”


    “I am pretty sure that it is true! He was already being arrested once some time ago. Now that the police


    have new evidence against him. I guess that he will be sentenced to jail for sure!”


    “Hmph! None of these rich people are clean and innocent! The capital of these monopolistic industries


    should have been suppressed long ago!”


    Soon…


    A big group of police officers went into the Everett Group and started to investigate. Fortunately, Bruce


    had destroyed most of the information.


    In the blink of an eye…


    Bruce was already being arrested for five days.


    In the past five days, even though Joanna was anxious, she could not do anything to help at all. The


    lawyers were more experienced in such a case. Hence, it would be best to leave the case to them.


    As for Joanna, the only thing she could do now was to take good care of the children and take on the


    burden of the Everett Group.


    “Mommy, where’s Daddy?”


    “We have not seen Daddy for the past few days.” asked the three kids in confusion.


    In fact, the kids had been asking about their father’s whereabouts these few days.


    Joanna was speechless. Her eyes darkened as she choked with sobs.


    Lilia was very unhappy. She pouted her tiny mouth and said, “Mommy, it’s been a few days since we


    is he?”


    Joanna rolled her eyes slightly and caressed her daughter’s hair as she said, “Daddy has to deal with


    some troublesome. matters now. So, he might not being back for the time being!”


    “I see. Did Daddy go on a business trip overseas?”


    “Nope!” Joanna’s eyes darkened as she said. She did not want to say much about it.


    Upon seeing Joanna’s reaction, Davian and Irvin knew that something was wrong.


    The two of them had stronger instincts aspared to Lilia. In fact, their Daddy had been arrested


    once some time ago.

    It seemed that their Daddy was being arrested again.


    Davian then asked Joanna cautiously, “Mommy, is Daddy a bad guy?”


    Joanna was stunned. She asked her son in confusion, “Why are you asking this?”


    “Then, why Daddy was being arrested by the police?”


    Lilia was so shocked upon hearing it. “What! Daddy was being arrested?”


    Joanna kept quiet. She did not know how to react to their questions.


    After giving it a thought, Joanna stared at the three children. She knew that she could not hide it from


    the kids any longer. Hence, she decided to tell them the truth!


    “Nobody is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes!


    “Even the best make mistakes sometimes. But, if you know how to learn from mistakes and are willing


    to correct them, you are still a good kid.”


    “Do you mean that Daddy has done something wrong?”


    Joanna’s eyes darkened again. In fact, these things were hard to say. It depended on how it was


    justified.


    It was absolutely useless to say anything right now. Only thewyers could clear Bruce’s name now.


    “Even though Daddy had been arrested by the police, it doesn’t mean that he is a bad guy.


    “Daddy might have done something wrong. But, Mommy believes that Daddy has learned his lesson


    and will correct his mistakes for sure!”


    “Then, when is heing back?”


    Joanna took a deep breath and said, “Perhaps, he would not be able toe back for quite some time.


    Don’t ask about this matter in the future!


    “Daddy will return when it is time for him toe back.”


    “Okay. The three little fellows did not ask anything further for fear that their Mommy would get angry.


    The next day.


    At the Everett Group.


    In the conference room, the shareholders were discussing animatedly about this matter. “Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!


    I bet that Mr. Everett is doomed this time!”


    That’s right! What should we do now? It has been days that no one cares about our work. Miss Haynes


    did note to thepany too.”


    “Don’t worry! If anything were to happen, someone from the upper management will deal with it first.”


    As they were talking….


    The door of the conference room was being pushed open. Joanna, who was in a ck suit, entered the


    conference room with a serious expression.


    Bruce was imprisoned now. She had the obligation to guard thepany for him..


    “Miss Haynes is here.”


    “Good morning, everyone.”


    “Good morning, Miss Haynes!”


    Joanna calmed herself down and sat on Bruce’s usual seat. She then said, “Is everyone here? Let’s


    start the meeting then!”


    “The agenda of today’s meeting is mainly…”


    Before Joanna could finish her words, one of the shareholders from the middle–level management


    could not help but raise an issue. “I have a question, Miss Haynes.”


    “You may speak.”


    “I would like to ask about the matter regarding Mr. Everett!”


    Joanna’s expression turned serious immediately. She said, “Mr. Everett has entrusted thepany to


    me now. As for his personal affair, it is not convenient for me to answer for the time being. In fact, I am


    not very sure about it either.”


    “Are you kidding me? How would you not know anything about it?”


    “That’s right! Mr. Everett is in jail now. You should be the one who knows about this matter more than


    anyone else!” Now that Bruce was in jail, all the shareholders of the Everett Group no longer worried


    about anything. Thus, they started to make things difficult for Joanna one after another.


    “So, what do you intend to do?”


    “Mr. Lurk is the person who has been in charge of the Green Bay project all along. Now that something


    had happened to Mr. Everett. So, I would like Mr. Lurk to continue being in charge of this project”


    “The Green Bay project has started developing. So, there would not be many changes. It could be


    carried out as usual…”


    Before Joanna could finish her words, another shareholder interrupted her. “Except for the Green Bay


    project, there are also other projects that need some adjustment”
