Chapter 726
In the conference room, Bruce sat on the president’s tform with a solemn and ferocious expression.
The spacious conference room was filled with people. It was densely packed.
Thepany’s shareholders and senior executives all had solemn expressions. They kept quiet out of
fear.
The atmosphere was tense and solemn.
In front of Bruce, there was a projection screen and a remote broadcast setup. The overseas senior
executives were also participating in a video conference.
Due to the time difference, it waste at night in Ceru.
However, when they heard that Bruce was going to have a meeting, no one dared to take it lightly. All
of them got up in the middle of the night to join the long-distance meeting.
Bruce said, “There’s been a huge change in thepany recently.
“As the chairman of Everett Group, I am answerable to the change.
“Now, thepany has readjusted the shareholding and the basic information of the shareholders…”
Bruce was conducting the meeting meticulously.
Crack!
The door of the conference room was pushed open forcefully.
Joanna appeared at the door angrily.
Hundreds of pairs of eyes turned to look at the door in unison.
Joanna was left speechless. Upon seeing this, she felt immensely angry.
Initially, she had thought that Bruce was just a foil used by Liam when thepany held a
shareholders’ meeting. However, to her surprise, it turned out that Bruce was the one chairing the
meeting.
At this moment, Bruce was d in a suit and leather shoes. He sat on the president’s podium, exuding
an air of elegance and authority. He was exactly the same as he had been when he was in a meeting in
the past, giving off an oppressive sense of dominance as well as a powerful presence.
Joanna thought, “He doesn’t look like a retard at all.
“Liar!
“He is a big liar!”
In an instant, tears welled up uncontrobly in her eyes.
“How could this evil bastard lie to me like this?” she thought.
Bruce was left speechless. He was also stunned. His originally ice-cold and handsome face melted into
a soft expression.
“I’m sorry,” Bruce said. “I’ve got to take three minutes of your time.”
Upon saying that, Bruce hurriedly got off the president’s chair and walked toward Joanna with long
strides.
“Joann, why are you here?” Bruce asked.
Joanna did not speak. Her gaze was like an ice de as she stared intently at Bruce.
She thought, “Bastard!
“This detestable bastard who deserves to die ten thousand times!”
She really wanted to tear apart this lying bastard in front of her with her own hands.
Bruce lowered his voice and said gently and guiltily, “Joann, I’m in a meeting right now. Can you wait
for me in the office first?”
The senior executives and shareholders looked at the two of them silently.
Bruce naturally could not show that he was a henpecked man in front of his employees. He could only
the office and wait for me.

“Lots of people are watching. Let’s talkter…”
Before Bruce finished talking, Joanna could not help but burst into anger. She roared sorrowfully,
“Bruce, why did you do
this?
Bruce was at a loss for words. He choked up. He involuntarily turned around and nced at the
meeting attendees,
The senior executives quickly lowered their heads and pretended not to see anything.
Bruce frowned. He took two steps forward, trying to hold Joanna’s shoulders.
“Joann, don’t be angry,” he said. “I’ll slowly exin things to you after the meeting is over…”
Joanna said, “What is there to exin?
“You’ve been lying to me all along, right?” Joanna’s voice became even angrier. Tears streamed down
her face.
She thought, “How could he lie to me like that?
“And he has lied to me for so long.”
“Bruce, why did you lie to me?” Joanna asked. “Why did you lie to me?”
Joanna’s voice suddenly became stern. Her entire body trembled with anger, and her face flushed with
great intensity.
Upon seeing this, Bruce disregarded his dignity and authority. He hurriedly exined, “Joann, please
don’t be so agitated. I, I did notpletely lie to you.
“Calm down first. Let me exin it to you straightforwardly. It’s not what you think.”
Joanna pushed his hand away fiercely and said, “You’re lying! You’re talking nonsense!
“You never be mentally retarded at all. You’ve been lying to me all along. Bruce, I just don’t
understand. Why did you lie to me like this?
“Is it because you think it’s fun to lie to me? Why are you always like this?”
Teardrops of grievance and disappointment fell one after another. Joanna clenched her fists and
punched Bruce’s chest forcefully.
“Bruce, you bastard,” she said. “You bastard!”
“Joann, calm down first!” Bruce said. “I did not lie to you. I really had a brain injury previously…”
Seeing how agitated she was, Bruce hurriedly exined. He was afraid that her anger would affect the
baby in her womb.
“Shut up, you big liar!” Joanna said. “I’ll never trust you again, not even a single word that you say.
“I hate you so much. Why did you lie to me like this? Boohoo…”
Bruce was dumbfounded and at a loss for words. He did not know how to exin himself. He let
Joanna hit him with all her might.
When he got into the car ident, his brain was indeed injured.
However, after the shooting, he underwent another surgery. As a blessing in disguise, he recovered
and became normal.
“Joann, you have to believe me,” Bruce said. “I really don’t want to lie to you. Neither did I lie to you. My
mind was really not clear at that time. It’s not what you think. I didn’t mean to lie to you.”
“Stop talking, Bruce,” Joanna said. “You’re really scary. You make me feel afraid!”
Joanna retreated step by step. Her hands were clenched into fists. Tears of deep emotional distress
kept streaming down her
face.
She thought, “This man is really terrifying.
“He has actually lied to me for nearly a year! And he has even made me live in fear for nearly a year.
“How could he do this? How could he be so cruel to me?”
