At Sherane Bay Villa, seeing that it was about time, Bruce smiled coldly. He intended to make his final move to achieve his goal.

Aria would arrive at Greyport in a few days. He had to quickly settle the company matters.

In the study, Darcy reported to Bruce with a serious expression Mr. Everett, we can basically make a move now,” he said. “Hartfield Enterprise’s share price has already fallen to its lowest point.”

“Mm, we can make a move now,” Bruce said..

“Okay,” Darcy replied. He began to make arrangements.

Soon afterward, Bruce bought a large amount of Hartfield Enterprise’s shares at the lowest price possible.

At the same time, he also acquired the shares owned by small shareholders.

Initially, he held 51% of the shares, but now it had immediately increased to 86%. With absolute authority, he had complete. control over everything in the company.

However, by doing so, he could no longer pretend to be retarded!

Joanna was at the hospital.

She had been staying in the hospital for two weeks. She received medical treatment to ensure the safety and health of her unborn baby.

After the doctor completed a series of examinations today, he finally heaved a sigh of relief.

“Miss Haynes, you can be discharged today,” the doctor said. “The fetus is now basically stable.”

Upon hearing that, Joanna heaved a sigh of relief. She said, “Mm. Okay.”

The doctor said, “After you’re discharged, try to do some aerobic exercises.

“Your estimated delivery date is January 8th. You have to come to the hospital one week in advance.”

“Got it, Doc,” Joanna said. She was already more than seven months pregnant. It would be eight months soon.

There was a little over a month left, and then it would be time for delivery.

This time, she wanted to try a vaginal delivery. After all, only through a vaginal delivery could she experience the complete process of motherhood.

Bruce came over to pick her up from the hospital. “Honey, you can be discharged now,” he said. “Everything has been packed. Let’s go home.”

Joanna nodded and said, “Okay. I’ve been feeling so uncomfortable in the hospital. I can’t wait to go home now.”

Bruce said, “Haha. Be careful. Let me hold you.”

“There’s no need to be so careful,” Joanna said. “I’m not that weak.” Joanna supported her waist with one hand and held her belly with another hand as she walked out happily.

Bruce still insisted on holding her shoulders. He was afraid that she would fall and slip.

Looking at Joanna’s big belly, his eyes were filled with tenderness. He really did not want to lie to her anymore. He said,- “Honey…”

“What’s wrong?” Joanna said.

“I, um, I want to tell you something,” he said. He wanted to tell her that Aria was coming to Greyport.

Although Joanna did not know Aria, Bruce still felt it was necessary to inform her.

Otherwise, if he rashly met a female stranger, it would definitely lead to unnecessary misunderstanding.

Even if he and Aria only had a simple romantic relationship and did not have any physical intimacy, the fact remained that Aria was his first love. It would be strange if Joanna did not mind.

“What do you want to tell me?” Joanna said as she turned around and looked at Bruce gently with her beautiful big eyes.

Her eyes were truly beautiful. After spending this period of time together, her eyes had regained a trace of moisture and radiance.

He watched as her eyes lit up again.

Bruce was moved further. He lowered his head and gently kissed her eyes.

“I want to tell you, my wife, that you are so beautiful,” Bruce said.

“You rascall” Joanna said angrily.

She then added, “Get in the carl”

“Okay,” Bruce said. Joanna got into the car clumsily with her big belly.

“I haven’t seen the kids in almost two weeks,” Joanna said. “I miss them so much.”

Bruce sat down on the seat beside Joanna and carefully helped her fasten her seatbelt. “The children miss you too,” he said. “They must be waiting for you at home.”

After a few seconds of contemplation, Joanna sighed and said, “I hope that the future days will be better, and we won’t encounter any more troublesome situations.”

Bruce was at a loss for words. Upon hearing that, his heart sank. A trace of unfathomable anxiety appeared on his face.

He also wanted to live a peaceful and happy life like this.

However, he knew that it would be difficult for him to break free from his current situation.

Sometimes, one sought peace, but external disturbances or challenges persisted, making it difficult to achieve that state.

He might not be able to completely withdraw from his current situation. He could only cherish the happiness that he currently felt as much as possible.

Half an hour later, the car was driven into Sherane Bay Villa.

The children were waiting on the lawn as usual.

When they saw the car being driven in, they ran over happily like little birds.

“Mommy, you’re finally back!”

Joanna got out of the car and touched the children’s cheeks lovingly and gently. “Yes, babies,” she said. “Mommy misses you a lot.”

“We miss Mommy and Daddy too!”

Irvin circled around Joanna and exclaimed in surprise, “Wow, Mommy’s belly has gotten so much bigger.

“Oh yes! It’s like a big basketball. Mommy, can I touch my little sister?”

“Of course, you can,” Joanna said.

Irvin was the first to touch Joanna’s belly. “Hello, my little sister” Irvin said. “I’m Irvin.”

One after another, Davian and Lilia greeted as they looked at Joanna’s belly. “I’m Davian,” Davian said. “And I’m Lilia,” Lilia said.

Bruce let out a chuckle and urged, “Alright. Alright. Hurry up and enter the house.

“Mommy just came back. Don’t tire her out.”

“Okay,” the children said. “Let’s go in quickly, Mommy.”

“Are you guys on holiday again?” Joanna asked.

“That’s right!” the children said. “Halloween is coming soon.”

Irvin pouted unhappily and said, “That’s right. During the time when Mommy was sick, Mommy didn’t prepare any birthday gifts for us.”

“Oh my,” Joanna said with a guilty expression. “I’m so sorry. I didn’t forget. I’ll definitely make it up to you.”

The children’s birthday was at the end of November.

Unfortunately, she had been staying in the hospital to keep her unborn baby safe and healthy, so she had not had the time to celebrate the children’s birthday.

“It’s okay,” the children said, “As long as Mommy remembers our birthday, it’s fine.”

“Haha, my babies are so considerate,” Joanna said. “I feel so lucky and happy. You guys are the best gift God has given me.”

With one hand holding each child, Joanna walked into the house with a satisfied smile on her face.

As Bruce watched the warm and tender scene of Joanna and the three children, his lips curled up and there was an indescribable gentleness on his face.

However, he felt anxious for some reason.

He involuntarily took out his phone to take a look.

As expected, Aria sent him another message.

[Bruce, due to the flight delay, I may only be able to arrive in Greyport on the twentieth of the month.]

Bruce pondered for half a minute before replying. [Got it.]

Aria immediately replied. [Please help me arrange a quiet place with privacy.]

[Okay. I’ll pick you up on the 20th.]

After replying, Bruce felt even more uneasy.

The sense of anxiety was increasingly overwhelming.

In his thirty years of life, he had never been as anxious as he was in the past few days.

“Maybe it’s because the more one has, the more afraid one is of losing it,” he thought.

On Monday, there was a meeting in the conference room of Everett Group.

“Hartfield Enterprise’s shares have been bought at a rock-bottom price, and now its price is skyrocketing like crazy.”

“That’s right! Who has made such a large investment in buying shares to actually cause a turnaround for investors in such a short period of time?”

When Mr. Young heard this, he looked regretful. “Oh no. Had I known that the price would rebound, I’d have held on a bit longer. Now that I’ve already sold all the shares that I have, it actually rebounded. It’s so frustrating. I lost hundreds of millions of dollars for no reason…”

“I know, right? If I had known that it would rebound, how could I have sold my shares at a loss? I would have definitely held on. I really didn’t expect it to play such a big joke on us!”

“Cough, Cough. Stop talking. Stop talking!” Mr. Paul could not bear this blow anymore. He was so angry that he had a heart attack.

“Mr. Paul, what’s wrong? Don’t scare me!”

“Hurry up and call an ambulance. Hurry up and send him to the hospital!”

“Call the security guards over right now. Mr. Paul, hang in there!

The conference room was in chaos.

All shareholders had gloomy faces and looked listless.

Now that Mr. Paul’s heart condition had relapsed, everyone was even more flustered.

The stock market was like a ride on a roller coaster for the past few days.

At first, it had fallen crazily to over 10 dollars. Now, in less than a week, it had actually increased to over 20 dollars.

At this rate, it would soon rise back to its original price.

This made the shareholders who sold their shares regretful.

Even Liam was extremely angry, let alone small shareholders, who were anxious and restless.

“Hurry up and call Mr. Miller. Why hasn’t he come to the office yet? How could he not show up when such a big thing happened to the company?”

“I know, right? He hasn’t been to the office for three days. Call him quickly and ask him to come back for a meeting

“I’ll call him now!”

Beep. Beep. Beep.

“Hello, the number you have dialed is unavailable. Please try again later…”

“What’s going on? Why is Mr. Miller’s phone turned off? I can’t reach him. What does this mean?”
