Chapter 635
At the conference room of the Everett Group on Monday.
The shareholders began to discuss and whisper, “Joanna is actually holding a general meeting. What’s
going on?”
“I don’t know, but I guess it’s about Mr. Everett.”
“I heard that Mr. Everett has passed the critical period. He might really wake up.”
When another shareholder, Mr. Young, heard this, his face was filled with disbelief. “Ah! No way? He
hurt so badly. Can he still be saved? I heard that the doctor has already announced his death.”
Mr. Obrien continued, “He was resuscitated afterward! I heard that he received gene regeneration
shots every day for more than a month. He also had to undergo various rehabilitation treatments. He
spent tens of millions of dors on medical fees for a month. So, of course, he would be doing well
now.”
“How could money bepared to life? If it were me, I would definitely do the same.”
When Mr. Bourn heard this, he could not help but tease, “Ah, Mr. Everett’s life is really tough!”
“That’s right. He’s too tough. Look at Mr. Everett. He was a jinx to his family. He lost his parents and
siblings at an early age, but for some reason, he didn’t jinx his wife. It’s magical. Haha.”
“Who said that he isn’t a jinx to his wife? His ex-wife was almost jinxed to death several times.
Fortunately, she’s divorced now. Otherwise, she would have been jinxed too!”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Mr. Everett’s life is too tough. I wonder if he’ll jinx his kid?” The more Mr. Obrien spoke,

the more excited he became. He almost forgot his manners.
When the others heard this, they stared at Mr. Obrien in shock. “What do you mean by that? Are you
cursing Mr. Everett’s child?”
Mr. Obrien also realized that he had gone overboard and quickly tried to make up for it. “I, I don’t mean
anything. I’m just… I’m just feeling emotional!”
“Stop talking. Mr. Miller is here.”
The office door was pushed open. Liam and Evan walked in with gloomy expressions.
During this period of time, Liam brought his son to thepany and promoted him to vice president. It
was obvious that he wanted to nurture his son to be the sessor.
More urately, he was trying to take over the Everett Group by making his son the heir of the Everett
Group.
“Mr. Miller, good morning!”
“Good morning, everyone.” Liam strolled to the center of the conference table and sat down in the seat
where Bruce had previously sat.
“Joanna has gathered everyone for a general meeting today. What do you all think?” Liam wanted to
check out everyone’s attitude first.
After all, he had guessed that Joanna’s return was definitely not a good thing. At least for him, it was
not a good thing. “Well, let’s see what she has to say first!”
The other shareholders also nodded. “That’s right. Let’s see what Ms. Haynes has to say first.”
As they were talking, the conference room’s door was pushed open.
Andy, Mark, Darcy, and Gael walked in one after another.
Then, Joanna walked in.
“Good morning, everyone.”
When everyone saw Joanna, they subconsciously replied, “Morning, Ms. Haynes.”
Joanna was wearing a ck suit with a striped shirt underneath today. She had ck-framed sses
on her face and looked solemn and calm.
She walked directly past the others and went to Liam’s side.
When Liam saw this, he snorted and pretended that nothing had happened. He did not move, nor did
he have any intention of giving up his position.
Joanna did not say anything and just stood beside him. Then, she supported herself with her arm on
the desk and looked around at everyone. “I called you for a general meeting today because I have
something to announce.”
“Ms. Haynes, what do you have to announce?”
Joanna gave Andy a quick nce.
Andy understood instantly and looked at everyone calmly. He said coldly, “From tomorrow onwards,
Ms. Haynes will officially return to thepany to work.”
After everyone heard it, they were all looking at each other confused.
Liam was the first to express his dissatisfaction. “Ms. Haynes, did I hear it wrong? You’ll work at the
Joanna stared at Liam and replied calmly, “Yeah, you heard it right!”
“Humph, what position do you want to take? Thepany doesn’t keep ckers.”
Mr. Young immediately chimed in, “Yeah, Ms. Haynes, you are still pregnant. There’s no suitable
position for you in thepany.”
“I’ming back to work, obviously in my previous position.”
When everyone heard this, they stared at each other confused.
“Wasn’t Joanna’s previous position acting president?” they wondered.
Evan sneered. “Ms. Haynes, may I ask what makes you qualified for that position?”
When Joanna heard this, she looked down at Evan. “Because I’m Bruce’s ex-wife, I have an obligation
to help him manage hispany well.”
When Liam heard this, he could not hold it in anymore. He retorted, “You are not one of the Everett
Group’s shareholders, let alone Bruce’s legal spouse. What right do you have for the position of acting
president?”
“This is what Bruce meant. I think he wants me to take care of his work for him, too.”
“Humph, Ms. Haynes, may I ask if Mr. Everett is awake? Does he have a clear order?”
After hearing it, Joanna was speechless. Bruce was still unconscious, and it was impossible for him to
issue any orders..
Liam would definitely grasp this point and dy hering back endlessly.
Seeing that Joanna was silent, Liam grasped the main point. “If it’s indeed Mr. Everett’s instructions,
then we will definitely obey. But now that Mr. Everett is in aa, thepany is already in a
precarious situation.
“I’m sorry, but we can’t put the future of thepany on you.”
Joanna scanned the crowd coldly. “Bruce had previously appointed me as the Everett Group’s acting
president when he was at the detention center.
“He’s in aa now. Naturally, I’ll continue to hold the position of president for him until he wakes up.”
“Humph, it’s true that Mr. Everett asked you to be the acting president. But you also said that that was
before, and this is
now.
“If you want to take on the position of acting president, either Mr. Everett himself appoints you, or
everyone yotes. “If all the shareholders present vote for you, you will naturally be appointed as the
president of the Everett Group.”
When Joanna heard this, she smiled coldly. “Mr. Miller, your words are a little unreasonable.
“As you know, Bruce is still in aa. How is it possible for him to appoint me personally?”
Liam shrugged proudly. “Then we can only let everyone vote. There are 21 shareholders in the
objections.”
He knew that the shareholders would not choose Joanna as the acting president. He was just
provoking her on purpose.
Mr. Young had already taken the lead. “I object.”
Mr. Obrien followed suit and said, “Uh, I object too.”
Seeing that someone objected, Mr. Bourn immediately echoed, “I object too. Anyway, I won’t agree to
Joanna being president.”
Seeing this, Liam nced at Joanna triumphantly.
Now, he was racing against time to earn money. As long as he stayed in the position of president for
one more day, he could make an extra day’s worth of money.
