Chapter 509


    On the other end of the call, Cora hesitated for a moment. She said, “Miss Haynes, I am pregnant! So,


    I don’t think I could return to Greyport for the time being. You know that I am not young anymore. If I


    don’t give birth now, I would be reaching the advanced maternal age and have a higher risk during


    pregnancy…


    Joanna was delighted when she heard about it, “Really? When did you get pregnant?


    “It’s been three months!”


    Joanna smiled and said happily. “Congrattions! You are going to be a mommy soon. Well, you may


    put your work aside and take good care of yourself during your pregnancy.


    “Thank you. Miss Haynes”


    “Well then. Take care and bye.”


    After hanging up the call, Joanna knitted her eyebrows. She was almost suffocated by all the pressure


    she was suffering now!


    She really wished that Cora coulde over to help her. However, Cora was already 33 years old. It


    was time for her to have her own child. So, she could not let Cora dy it because of work.


    In the blink of an eye, it was already two o’clock in the afternoon.


    Joanna was still engrossed in her work in the office. In fact, she had already vetted through one–


    quarter of therge pile of documents on her table.


    She had to get the hang of it quickly and familiarized herself with the operation and management


    models of thepany as soon as possible.


    At the secretary’s desk.


    Mark and Andy felt a little mncholy. “Miss Haynes is such a workaholic. It is already two o’clock in


    the afternoon. Yet, she has no intention to have her lunch.”


    Andy frowned and sighed as he said, “Mr. Everett is in such big trouble now, how could Miss Haynes


    have the appetite to


    cat.”


    “By the way, is there any news from Mr. Jameson? How’s thewsuit going on?”


    “Sigh! I heard that it is a little tricky. There are a lot of enterprises that submit joint appeals which led


    Mr. Everett into bigger trouble now.”


    “What will happen to thepany if Mr. Everett goes to jail? Is he really going to let Miss Haynes take


    over it?” said Mark with disbelief.


    “What else can be done? We will just have to work as usual then. Anyway, Miss Haynes has already


    taken over thepany. Why are you still having a hysteria?”


    Mark drew his lips together and said, “What I mean is that I thought Mr. Everett was joking and would


    make a better arrangement. Never did I expect that he would hand thepany over to Miss Haynes.”


    “Stop saying all these. I’ll go and ask Miss Haynes if she would like to eat something for her lunch.”


    Andy walked to the office as he spoke.


    In the office.


    Andy knocked on the door before entering the office. Joanna was still engrossing in her work.


    “Miss Haynes, it is already two o’clock in the afternoon. Do you want me to order some food for you?”


    Joanna lifted her head and looked at her watch upon hearing it. She did not expect the time to pass so


    fast. It was already two o’clock in the blink of an eye.


    “Well, I am not hungry now. Could you get me a cup of coffee instead?” Joanna liked to have a cup of


    coffee while working. It helped to give her a lift and stay focused.


    Andy’s expression changed drastically. He then replied with caution, “Miss Haynes, Mr. Everett has


    instructed us not to let you drink coffer”


    Joanna was speechless. She lifted her head and looked at Andy in stunned.


    “What else did he instruct you?”


    “Ahem! Mr. Everett also instructed us not to let you work overtime. You have to leave the office and go


    hometest by six o’clock in the evening”


    “Anything else?”


    “He also instructed us to remind you to have your meal on time… Andy continued to say a lot of things.


    In fact, all of them


    were trivial matters.


    It seemed that Bruce was being so thoughtful that he had arranged everything properly for her in every


    possible way.


    “Well then, order some food for me and get me a cup of coller too. Thank you”


    “Yes, Madam!”


    After Andy went out of the office, Joanna closed the document she was vetting through. She was so


    touched by everything that Bruce had done for her.


    She would like to visit Bruce in jail. But, it was considered a major economic case and was still under


    investigation. Hence, other than thewyers, no one was allowed to visit him during the trial.


    In addition, even though Bruce and Joanna had patched up. They had not registered for marriage and


    N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    gotten the marriage license yet. Therefore, Joanna was still not considered his next of kin legally.


    There was a crystal photo frame with Bruce’s photo on the table. Joanna took it up carefully and looked


    at it.


    In the photo, Bruce wore a suit with leather shoes. He was in high spirits. He was such a charmer


    indeed. Suddenly, Joanna realized that she missed him so much. Her eyes started to well up when she


    looked at Bruce’s photo.


    “How are you, Bruce? Are you okay?” Joanna almost burst into tears at that moment.


    Half an hourter.


    Andy went into the office again with a few lunch boxes in his hands.


    “Miss Haynes, here is your lunch.”


    Andy opened the lunch boxes one after another. There were about six to seven dishes disyed on the


    table, which included fish, prawns, fruits, etc. It looked like a table of a meal with a bnced diet.


    “Why is it so much food?”


    “Mr. Everett has instructed before that you must eat a proper and nutrition meal as you are too skinny.”


    Joanna’s eyes welled up instantly upon hearing it.


    “Got it. You may go out now!”


    “Yes, Madam”


    After Andy left the office, Joanna shed her tears uncontrobly. She picked up the tableware and


    started to eat a mouthful of food.


    Bruce was being so considerate. She could not let him down.


    This incorrigible scumbag was indeed the hybrid of a demon and savior.


    He would do anything for the one he loved wholeheartedly without hesitation. He could even get his


    loved one the rarest things in the world regardless of anything.


    After having her lunch, Joanna made a call to Mr. Jameson.


    In fact, she would call Mr. Jameson to ask about Bruce’s case every alternate day.


    “Ring!”


    The call was picked up soon. “Hello, good afternoon.”


    “Good afternoon, Mr. Jameson. I am Joanna Haynes.”


    “Hi, Miss Haynes. Is there anything that I can help?”


    Joanna frowned as she said, “I would like to ask about Bruce’s situation now.”


    Mr. Jameson’s voice turned solemn as he said, “It is very tricky indeed. There is a piece of important


    evidence that is against Mr. Everey. They are suing Mr. Everett for monopolizing the X–microchips in


    the market. They are in the midst of searching for the evidence to counter thewsuit!”


    “Which enterprise is it?”


    “In fact, several enterprises joined forces to appeal!”


    Joanna took a deep breath and said, “Is there anything that I can do for him?”


    “What we can do now is to get those enterprises to withdraw their appeals. Secondly, we have to


    gather strong evidence against the other party for framing Mr. Everett.”


    “What are the chances of winning?”


    Mr. Jameson pondered for a few seconds and said solemnly, “Miss Haynes, please be mentally


    prepared that it will be a


    hapter 3


    tough protracted war. Thewsuit might take a long time.”


    “Can you


    think of a way to bail him out?“


    “I am afraid not for the time being!”


    “Well then! Got it!” Joanna then hung up the call worriedly. Her mind was in a mess now.


    She could not just sit back and do nothing about it. She had to think of a way to do something for


    Bruce.


    At the hospital, Jennie was still in aa.


    The members of the Garcia family were worried sick for the past few days.


    “It has been so many days. When will Jenniee around?” said Mrs. Garcia as she wiped off her


    tears.


    “Don’t be too sad, Mrs. Garcia. During these two days, Miss Garcia’s heart rate fluctuated a lot. I bet


    that she woulde around soon.”


    Mrs. Garcia asked anxiously upon hearing it, “Is that so? When will shee around then?”


    “Well… Miss Garcia seems to have slight consciousness when we talk. I think it won’t take long for her


    toe around.”


    “That will be great!


    “As long as Jenniees around, I am willing to do anything in return for it!”


    Zachary, who was standing at one side, burst into cold sweat upon hearing what they said.


    If his younger sister came around and told their parents the truth regarding her injury, their parents


    would burst into mes


    for sure.


    Zachary and Jennie were the only children in the Garcia family. Their parents doted on Jennie more. If


    they knew that he was the one who caused Jennie to be in such a state, they would not let him off for


    sure.
