Chapter 515 Return Of Ex-wife

• Because of the sudden withdrawal of the plaintiff who accused Bruce of bribery, as well as the lawyer’s effort, Bruce’s case became much lighter, and he was transferred to an ordinary detention center. His family members were also allowed to visit him. There were still several days before Christmas. Joanna visited Bruce at the detention center for the first time. Bruce, shaven–headed and wearing a prison uniform, was led into the visiting room by two guards. Joanna was already waiting there. Through the glass, they met each other with a hint of excitement in their eyes. Joanna took the telephone handset and asked in a choked voice, “Bruce, are you okay?” Bruce sat opposite her and held the handset. He reached out a hand and pressed it against the glass, signaling her to place. her hand on it. Joanna was stunned for a moment, but she still placed her hand on his palm. Although they were separated by the glass, she seemed to feel him. Bruce smiled at her without a trace of disappointment or pessimism in his eyes. “I’m fine. How about you?” Joanna felt a lump in her throat. “I’m alright.” “How about our three children?” “They are all fine. They miss you very much and hope to see you soon.”
• Hearing that, Bruce swallowed and stared at Joanna with his deep eyes. Her face was still so soft and beautiful that he could not get enough of her. How he wished he could hug her now, even if it was just for a moment. Joanna also looked at Bruce quietly. His appearance had not changed, yet he was obviously haggard and much thinner. She could imagine that his life in the detention center was not that easy. “Bruce, take care of yourself. I… I will wait for you.” Bruce felt warmth in his heart, and he scratched the glass even harder. He could not grab Joanna’s hand, so he could only express his feelings in such a way. “The shareholders in the company didn’t make things difficult for you, did they?” Joanna pondered for a few seconds. Not wanting him to worry about her, she smiled and said, “No. Everything is fine.” How was that possible? Those cunning shareholders were always up to no good. Fortunately, Joanna was strong enough to withstand pressure and didn’t compromise with them. The shareholders could not stump her for the time being. It was just that they had been causing trouble for her behind her back, making her not dare to relax her guard. Even though Joanna said so, Bruce could see the fatigue in her eyes.
• He said with pity, “If you can’t hold on anymore, take the children and live with them overseas. Don’t force yourself.” In any case, Joanna’s happiness was of greater importance than the Everett Group. Moreover, Bruce had invested more than 2 billion dollars in a trust fund for Joanna and three children each. Even if she didn’t work, they could live well. However, if the Everett Group was not under the control of his trusted aides, it would probably be taken over by Liam soon. “It’s okay. I can handle it. You don’t have to worry too much. Three children and I are all waiting for you to come home.” Bruce laughed bitterly. He didn’t know how long it would take by the time he was released. “Mr. Jameson said that the plaintiff who accused you of bribery has withdrawn the lawsuit. I believe that the case will be resolved and that you will be released soon.” Afraid that Bruce would lose confidence, Joanna tried to comfort him. Bruce had known about it. Besides, he also knew who had plotted against him behind his back.
