Chapter 561
While Bruce was in prison, he had casually mentioned being willing to try dating Jennie, but it was merely a way to
brush her off.
He never expected her to take it seriously. This gave him an enormous headache, as he despised women who clung
to him persistently.
“Keep a close eye on Joanna. Don’t let her step one foot outside Sherane Bay Villa!”
“Understood, Mr. Everett.”
With that, he put on his blazer and headed straight to the company.
At the Everett Group.
It was half past ten in the morning.
Inside the conference room.
All shareholders and executives stood up with smiles on their faces. “Mr. Everett, congratulations! You have finally
returned. If you had stayed away any longer, the Everett Group would have faced significant trouble.”
“Could it be that serions?” he smiled, raising an eyebrow.
Ms. Linken pushed his glasses up and said indignantly. “Mr. Everett, you have no idea. During your absence, Miss
Haynes exhausted us and she nearly drove us to the brink of breakdown.
“She either made us submit work reports or sent us on field inspections. Just last week, she even had the personnel
department cancel our access cards, threatening to kick us out of the Everett Group.”

hadn’t returned, Mr. Everett, I would seriously consider resigning from the Everett Group,” Mr. Young chimed in,
adding fuel to the fire.
The shareholders complained one after another, wishing that Joanna could get out of Greyport instantly.
As Bruce listened, his eyebrows slightly raised, though he maintained a poker face while looking at the crowd.
However, deep inside, he could not help but laugh with satisfaction because Joanna had done exactly what he
wanted.
After all, this group of cunning, old men deserved to be taught a lesson, especially Ms. Linken and his group. With
their old age and tenure, they were particularly pretentious and difficult to deal with.
Although Bruce had a temper, he was relatively restrained and polite when dealing with older individuals.
He was very pleased that Joanna had taken care of them all.
“Well, starting today, I am officially back to work. Temporarily, Miss Haynes will not hold the position of president at
the Everett Group.”
“Hurrah!” The shareholders applauded enthusiastically.
“We have been eagerly anticipating your return, Mr. Everett. We have been hoping and waiting for it, and finally,
you have returned…
The shareholders’ meeting ended shortly after.
He then returned to his office.
At the office.
He opened the work files and checked the backup data on his computer.
He had expected everything to be in chaos.
However, to his surprise, Joanna handled everything in an orderly manner and completed all the tasks he had left
behind. This was outside of his expectations.
Before he went to prison, he had appointed her as the president of the group temporarily. Still, he never expected
that she would perform so well.
He had underestimated her.
“Knock, knock, knock!” The sound of knocking echoed
“Came in!”
Mark walked in, wearing a respectful expression. “Mr. Everett, Miss Garcia is here. She is currently do sk and says
she has something very important to discus
He furrowed his brows upon hearing this. with you.”
“Why is she here again? She’s like a ghost that can’t be gotten rid of. He did not want to see Jennie at all.
The more ambitious a woman was, the less he liked it.
Jennie, who wore all her intentions on her face, was a woman he did not want to get involved with.
“Do you want to see her, Mr. Everett? If you don’t, I can tell her that you’re not in the office.”
His brows furrowed even more, but then he relented. “Well, bring her in”
“Alright, Mark said, turning around to deliver the message.
He let out a subtle sigh, displaying impatience on his face.

He did not want to see her.
However, if he refused, she might stir up some kind of trouble. Therefore, to avoid any trouble, he supposed it was
better to establish clear boundaries with her as soon as possible.
Ten minutes later.
Mark brought Jennie over.
“Miss Garcia, please go in. Mr. Everett is in his office”
“Okay” Jennie gracefully stepped into the office in her high heels.
She was dressed particularly elegantly today as if attending an important event. She wore a high-end designer
dress, and her hair and makeup were meticulously done.
“Bruce, why didn’t you answer my calls? I’ve been calling you since yesterday. Are you avoiding me intentionally?”
Her tone was petulant and soft, carrying a hint of grievance as she spoke.
“Oh, I was in a meeting so I didn’t hear the calls!”
He pretended to be clueless, saying, “What brought you here? Do you have something to talk to me about?”
She pouted, then said with a playful and tender voice, “Bruce, you have such a bad memory. You haven’t forgotten
our agreement, have you? You didn’t forget who helped you get a quick release, did you?”
Indeed, she had put in some effort, although it did not produce much impact. Still, she at least managed to
suppress those who falsely accused him.
He seemed to be smiling at this point.
“You promised me that we would start dating. What? Do you want to use and dump me? Let me warn you, I have
all the evidence against you. If you betray me, I won’t easily let you off the hook.”
