Chapter 1090
In the room, Bruce was in a deep sleep.
Leo examined him and soon found that something was wrong. There was nothing wrong with Bruce’s
health at all. It was man-made.
Bruce had taken tranquilizer pills and fainted.
Presumably, Joanna already knew the truth and deliberately tricked Leo over. When Leo thought of
this, his heart trembled, and his gaze wandered around ufortably.
“Leo, how is he?” Joanna looked at Leo, something sinister shing across her eyes.
“Yes, nothing serious. It’s just an ordinary cold…” Leo braced himself and replied.
He still couldn’t figure out Joanna’s motive, so he could only try his best to quibble. “Hmph, is that so?”
Joanna sneered.
Darcy and Carson, who were standing behind Joanna, were already closing in on Leo with fierce looks
in their eyes.
Joanna decided to stop pretending. She said coldly, “Leo, where did you and Aria take the real Bruce?
How dare you make a clone? What you’re doing is illegal. You’ll get arrested.”
When Leo heard this, his face stiffened, and his heart began to panic.
“Mrs. Everett, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Joanna’s voice suddenly became agitated. She was no longer as gentle and kind as before. “Do you
really not know what I’m talking about? Don’t pretend to be confused.
“Bruce and I are husband and wife. I know better than anyone if he’s the real Bruce. You and Aria are
really ambitious and despicable. You actually made a clone to impersonate Bruce?
“Tell me, where is the real Bruce?”
Leo hurriedly exined, “No, I didn’t do it! You must have misunderstood, right? I have no idea what
you’re talking about…”
“Hmph, you are just not willing to tell the truth, are you?
“Darcy, Carson, get him,” Joanna roared angrily.
When the two of them heard this, they immediately stepped forward fiercely.
Leo took a few steps back and wanted to resist. However, knowing that he was no match for Darcy, he
gave up resisting.
Darcy and Carson easily twisted his arm and pressed him to the ground.
“Tie him up.”
“Alright.” Darcy and Carson took the rope that they had prepared earlier.
“Ms. Haynes, you’ve really misunderstood. It’s useless even if you tie me up. I don’t know anything.
He’s the real Bruce…”
“Shut up. Your stupid lie doesn’t work on me. Do you still want to quibble?”
Soon, Leo was tied up.
“Hurry up and tell me the truth. Where is Bruce now? Is he alive or dead? What did you do to him?”
Joanna grabbed Leo’s cor and interrogated him agitatedly.
“Mrs. Everett, he’s the real Bruce… I-I’m not lying to you. Trust me!”
Joanna pushed him away angrily. “Stop lying to me. You know as well as I do if he’s the real Bruce.
“Hurry up and tell me the truth. If you don’t, I can only teach you a lesson.”
Joanna said it fiercely as she casually picked up a high-powered electric baton. Leo panicked. “I-I-I
don’t know!
“Ms. Haynes, c-c-calm down! Let’s talk things out.”
“Hurry up and tell me!” Joanna’s eyes darkened as she turned on the electric baton.
“It’s useless even if you ask me. I don’t know where he is!” Leo still wanted to continue resisting. “Zap!”
Joanna took the electric baton and directly electrocuted him.
Zap! Zap! Zap!
The electric baton fired a high-power current.
“Ahhh!” Leo was trembling from the electric shock and screamed in pain.
He never expected that the seemingly gentle and kind Joanna would really “teach him a lesson”.
“Hurry up and tell me. If you don’t tell me, I won’t let you leave here alive.” Joanna’s eyes were filled
with an unprecedented ferocity. She could no longer hold back her emotions that she had been
suppressing for many days.
All she could think about now was Bruce’s whereabouts.
“Ms. Haynes, I don’t know where he is. Even if you kill me, I won’t lie…”
Zap! Zap! Zap! Joanna increased the power output and turned the switch to the bottom. Electricity
Zap! Zap!
“Ahhh! Ahhh! Ahhh!” Leo’s entire body trembled as he let out miserable cries.
Although it felt miserable, as an agent, he could still withstand such a small torture.
Bruce had specially instructed him and Aria that if something happened to him one day, no matter
what, they could not let Joanna know that he was dead. He knew that Joanna would definitely not be
able to withstand this heavy blow.
Therefore, ever since Bruce came to Melta to carry out this mission, he had already prepared himself to
die.
Death was no big deal to him! The only thing he was worried about was Joanna and the children.
Joanna waspletely furious. “Are you going to tell me or not? If you don’t, don’t me me for being
ruthless.”
“Uh… If you want to kill me, do it now. I don’t know where he is.” Leo was covered in cold sweat and
was about to faint from the electric shock.
“Looks like you’re still very stubborn!
“Darcy, I’ll leave it to you.”
Darcy’s eyes darkened and began to torture Leo in other ways.
For the next two hours, Joanna and Darcy kept interrogating Leo in various ways.
Unfortunately, it seemed that Leo had already prepared himself to die. No matter how hard Joanna
interrogated him, he refused to tell the truth.
Two hourster, Joanna became even more upset as she didn’t get anything out of Leo.
She had used all the interrogation methods she could think of. Of course, Joanna was not a crazy
person, and she could not really use a bloody and inhumane interrogation method.
“Mrs. Everett, he still won’t say anything…”
As they were talking, Benny walked in and reported, “Mrs. Everett, Miss Bridges is here!”
When Joanna heard this, her eyes darkened. “Well, she came at the right time.
Bring her in right now.”
“Yes.
Subsequently, Joanna gave up on torturing Leo and got someone to bring Aria in.
Five minutester, Aria was led into the vi by Benny.
Joanna and Aria looked at each other. The atmosphere was thick with tension. A silent war was
brewing.
‘Ms. Haynes, long time no see.” Aria’s face darkened as she spoke first.
Joanna did not have the patience to say too much. Her eyes were filled with hatred and anger as she
asked bluntly, “Aria, there’s no need to be so hypocritical. Let’s be frank. Where is Bruce?

“Hurry up and tell me the truth. Don’t think you can just get away with it, and don’t do anything that
against morals and human nature.”
Aria’s eyes darkened as she looked at Joanna coldly.
After a while, she said faintly, “Didn’t Bruce go back with you?”
goes
When Joanna heard this, she was so angry that her heart skipped a beat. “Aria Bridges, you awful,
sinister creature, stop quibbling. Hurry up and tell me where Bruce is.
“If you don’t tell me, we’ll perish together today. No one can leave this ce alive,” Joanna said fiercely.
She took out a pistol from her pocket and pointed it at Aria’s head.
She had already thought it through. If Aria was really going to do something to Bruce, she would die
with
her.
Aria exhaled and said in a deep voice, “Ms. Haynes, calm down and put away your gun.”
“Hurry up and tell me where Bruce is. If you don’t tell me, I’m gonna shoot.” Joanna’s eyes almost
popped out of their sockets. She couldn’t help but break down and put her finger on the trigger.
Melta was a country where guns were legal. Most families had guns to prevent criminals froming
to their door. Of course, there would be many guns stored in the vi.
“Aria, why don’t you tell her the truth!” Leo looked at Aria in panic.
Aria fell silent.
Bruce was dead. She was in so much pain that she wanted to die. She did not want Joanna to suffer
again.
“Hurry up and tell me. Don’t think that I don’t dare to shoot.”
“Then shoot me! Even if you kill me, I won’t change my mind.” Aria looked at Joanna indifferently. She
did not believe that Joanna would really dare to shoot.
“Bang!” Joanna fired directly. The bullet flew past Aria’s arm.
She was extremely angry. There was nothing she did not dare to do at the moment. If Bruce was no
longer alive, she would definitely not live alone. Of course, she would not let Aria off even if she died.
Aria’s arm was injured by the bullet. “Ah!”
She subconsciously covered her arm and looked at Joanna in disbelief.
“Aria, if you don’t tell me, I will shoot you in the head next time.”
Seeing that Joanna was serious, Leo’s heart tightened. “Ms. Haynes, Bruce was… dead!”
