Liam and Lola also learned that something had happened to Bruce. The two of them rushed to the hospital as quickly as possible.

The sound of hurried footsteps could be heard.

Lola’s high heels tapped on the ground in a hurry. And Lola arrived opposite Joanna even faster than Liam.

“I heard that Bruce was shot. How is he now?” Liam took a deep breath and asked urgently.

Joanna did not reply. And she looked uneasy.

Seeing that no one responded, Liam was even more furious. Then he shouted, “I’m asking you a question. How is Bruce now?”

A nurse hurriedly replied, “Mr. Everett just finished his surgery. And he is transferred to the intensive care unit now.”

“What? Why would something like this happen out of nowhere?”

Joanna and the bodyguards ignored Liam and Lola. novelbin

“Joanna, you are a jinx. Every time Bruce is with you, something will happen to him.

“Tell me. Did you get someone to instigate this?”

At that moment, Joanna was only worried about Bruce’s safety. And she was not in the mood to care about this couple.

She just kept a cold face and did not say a word.

Seeing that Joanna was silent, Liam and Lola became even more arrogant. “If something happened to Bruce this time, it must be your fault.

“You are a jinx. You should have stayed away from Bruce a long time ago,” Liam could not help but curse again. Lola echoed Liam’s words. And she said, “That’s right. Mr. Everett turned out this way because of you. You’re still shamelessly clinging to him. How shameless you are.

“If you really love him, you shouldn’t harm him like this.”

While verbally berating Joanna, the two of them were actually ecstatic deep down.

Bruce was already a retard.

Now he had been shot. It would definitely make things worse.

He might never wake up again.

As long as he never woke up, it would be a great thing for them. They no longer had to worry about anything and could openly request to take over the Everett Group.

“I’m asking you a question now. Why aren’t you saying anything?

“Are you feeling guilty? Bruce must be blind to fall for a woman like you.

“Get out of the hospital now and don’t come near Bruce again.”

When Joanna heard this, she could no longer suppress the anger in her heart. “Don’t cause trouble here.”

“You almost killed Mr. Everett, and now you won’t let us say a word. I think you’re colluding with the criminals.”

Joanna closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Then she said coldly, “Darcy, kick them out.”

Darcy walked forward with a grim expression. Then he said, “Get out of here right now!”

As he spoke, he pushed them with his hands on their backs and forcefully shoved them out of the hallway. “Hey, don’t touch me.

“Joanna, you’re too much. What right do you have to chase us away? You’re the one who should leave.”

Although Lola and Liam were clamoring, they were still forced out.

“This damn bitch is too much.

“You’re Mr. Everett’s uncle, and I’m Mr. Everett’s aunt. What right does she have to chase us away?

“You bodyguards are too much. You’ll regret it one day.”

“Get out of here right now.” Darcy looked at the two of them coldly.

Seeing this, Liam and Lola had no choice but to leave.

Then they were back in the car.

Lola’s worried expression quickly changed, and she had a delighted look on her face. “Honey, do you think Mr. Everett will wake up again this time?

“I heard that he was shot in the head by the criminal. I reckon that he must have died by now.

“We should bring more people with us. We can’t let Joanna lead us by the nose.”

After hearing what Lola said, Liam sighed and didn’t know what to say.

“Honey, keep an eye on the hospital at all times. As long as Mr. Everett is dead, we should immediately get the media to report this matter and say that Joanna instigated it.”

As she spoke, Lola suddenly paused. Then she continued, “Oh, my god. Could it be that it’s actually her doing?”

“How is that possible?”

“Why not? After Bruce died, her three children were the heirs of the inheritance. And she took over the custody of the children, which is equivalent to taking over Bruce’s inheritance.

“No. We can’t just sit back and do nothing. We have to think of a way to stop Joanna from taking over the inheritance.”

Liam took a deep breath and said solemnly, “Can you stop arguing? It’s giving me a headache.”

“Honey, I’m just concerned about the ownership of Everett Group. You’ve dedicated half your life to Everett Group. And now Mr. Everett is in trouble. It’s only fair for you to take over the business.

“Joanna is such a wicked person. She’s always been against us. If she takes control of Everett Group, she definitely won’t treat us well.

“Well. I told you to step up your efforts earlier. If you had fought for Bruce’s custody rights sooner, it wouldn’t be too late

now.”

Lola kept rambling on and on without stopping.

She suddenly realized that if Bruce really died, the situation would be very disadvantageous to them.

“God, please bless Bruce and ensure he doesn’t die. Let him become a vegetable and never wake up again.” Lola clasped her hands together and started praying devoutly.

“I’m really fed up with you. Can you be quiet for a moment? Let me have some peace.” Liam’s mind was in a mess.

“Honey, I’m just worried.”

“What are you worried about? Do you need to worry about it?”

“Bruce has so many assets. You’re his uncle, so you definitely have to take over a portion. Even if you can’t take over completely, you have to take at least half of it. Otherwise, Joanna will get all of it.”

“Bruce isn’t dead yet.”

“Come on. He was shot in the head. Can he survive that?”

After hearing that, Liam was distraught. Then he sneered, “Shut up and stop nagging. Let me have some peace.”

His mind was in a mess. He had to think about what to do next.

If Bruce really died, this vast business empire would certainly need someone to take over.

He was not the heir to Bruce’s inheritance, so he definitely had no way of inheriting it. He could only completely kick Joanna out by exerting pressure on the board of directors.

As long as he could assume the position of president of the Everett Group, Bruce’s immovable assets would still be under his control.

At the same time, Joanna was at the hospital.

After making a series of arrangements, Jordan finally walked out of the intensive care unit.

Seeing this, Joanna quickly walked forward and asked, “Jordan, can I go in and see him?”

Jordan hesitated for a few seconds before nodding in agreement. “Sure.”

Joanna immediately changed into sterile clothes and followed Jordan into the intensive care unit.

The familiar scene appeared again.

Bruce lay lifelessly on the hospital bed and his body was adorned with various medical devices.

The hair he had managed to grow was shaved off again. His head was wrapped in thick bandages. Moreover, a nasal cannula adorned his nose, and his fingers were connected to an electrocardiogram machine.

It was identical to how he appeared after the car accident.

Witnessing this sight, Joanna felt a pang in her heart. And tears streamed down her face. She murmured, “Bruce…”
