The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 723

Liam was extremely distressed. He was flustered.

It had been three days, and he had not dared to show up at the office.

He did not dare to answer calls from the shareholders of the company. They were now calling his home phone in an

attempt to reach him.

Lola said, “Hubby, Mr. Bourn, Mr. Nelson, and the others have already called the home phone.

“You’d better hurry to the office. Hiding like this won’t solve anything.” Lola also had a worried expression on her

face. She was anxious about the situation that Liam was in.

Liam remained silent. He sighed heavily.

The company had lost so much money. There was no way Liam could avoid facing the problem. The small

shareholders were even more adversely affected. They faced an unprecedented blow.

Even though Liam did not want to go to the office, he had to bite the bullet and go.

“Driver, please arrange the car.”

“Okay, Mr. Miller”

At half past nine, Liam slowly arrived at Everett Group’s office.

“Mr. Miller is here. Mr. Miller is here.”

“Mr. Miller, what do you think we should do now? The company is in such a situation. We don’t know what to do.”

As soon as Liam appeared, the shareholders were in an uproar. One after another, they chased after him to ask

questions.

Liam pulled a long face. His chubby face showed a helpless expression. He said, “You people ask me, but who am I

supposed to ask?”

When the shareholders heard this, they were even more furious. “You’re the chairman of the company. Who else

should we ask if not you?”

“That’s right. You’re the leader now, so we naturally listen to you. When Mr. Everett was still around, the company

had never fallen to such a state.”

The shareholders could not help but complain.

When Liam heard this, he became even more dejected. “I’m also very upset that something like this has happened

to the company, but what can I do?” he said. “I’ve lost more money than you.”

“What should we do now? We’re about to go bankrupt…”

Shareholders who owned a lot of company shares were doing fine. They had other forms of investment, and they

had relatively strong assets. Although they were anxious and upset about the significant losses, they would not go

bankrupt.

On the other hand, shareholders who owned a small quantity of company shares did not have such a large amount

of assets. This kind of blow was simply a disaster for them. All of them were feeling extremely stressed and

frustrated. They were complaining and blaming others for their problems.

At ten o’clock, Bruce’s car arrived at the office.

The car door of the Rolls-Royce slowly opened. Someone with a pair of long legs stepped out from inside.

Bruce got out of the car and looked around at the main entrance of Everett Group. There was a hint of a sinister

vibe in his sharp eyes.

The bodyguards also got out of the car one after another. All of them were dressed in suits and leather shoes, well-

trained to clear the way ahead.

Bruce was at the front desk of the office.

Upon seeing him, the receptionist and clerk at the front desk exclaimed, “Ah…”

“Mr. Eve-Everett…”

“Oh my god. Mr. Everett is here. It’s really Mr. Everettl”

The dozen or so employees at the front desk of the company were in an uproar. They were incredulous.

Bruce was dressed in a well-tailored suit, looking dignified and imposing. As he walked toward the employees, his

powerful aura exuded a strong sense of oppression, leaving people somewhat breathless.

“Hello, Mr. Everett!” the customer service manager greeted. He instantly became very enthusiastic. He

immediately rushed forward and pressed the elevator button

The door of the elevator that was exclusively used by the president opened.

Bruce immediately strode into the elevator.

Behind him, Darcy, Carson, and a few other bodyguards followed. The rest of the bodyguards went straight into the

staff elevator.

“Oh, golly. Mr. Everett actually comes to the office. I’m not dreaming, right? Mr. Everett actually comes…”

“That’s right! I knew Mr. Everett would definitely get better!” Several beautiful female customer service

representatives could not contain their excitement.

At the secretary’s desk, Andy and Mark had already seen Bruce enter the elevator through the surveillance

cameras.

The two of them were so excited that tears welled up in their eyes. They hurriedly stood on both sides of the

elevator and waited.

Ding!

The elevator door opened.

As soon as Bruce stepped out of the elevator, Andy and Mark greeted him.

“Greetings to you, Mr. Everett!” Andy and Mark greeted respectfully. Both of them were about to cry..

Bruce glanced at the two of them and smiled.

“Mr. Everett, I knew that you would definitely make a powerful comeback!” Andy said. He was so excited that his

speech was

incoherent.

If it weren’t for his boss’s powerful presence, which made him less approachable, he really wanted to give his boss

a big hug. In the conference room, the shareholders were still arguing and blaming each other.

Crack!

The conference room’s door was pushed open.

A few bodyguards in black suits walked in one after another.

Everyone was stunned and looked at the door in confusion.

Upon seeing this, Liam became even more impatient and started shouting, “Who let you in? This is a shareholders’

meeting. People who are not invited to this meeting are not allowed to come in. Get out of here!”

The bodyguards ignored him. They continued to walk in one after another.

Afterward, they formed two rows, standing neatly in line.

“Who asked you to come in?” Liam screamed angrily again. “Get out quickly. Do you hear me?”

Then, Andy and Mark walked in one after another.

Everyone was left speechless. Upon seeing Andy and Mark, they looked at each other in surprise.

Liam’s eyes widened, thinking that Joanna had brought these people over. “What do you want to do?” he said.

“Who asked you to come in?

“Is Joanna the one that sent you here to cause trouble? Are you trying to cause disruption…”

Before Liam finished talking, the lights at the door dimmed, and a cold sensation swept in.

With a gloomy expression, Bruce walked in with long strides.

Bruce’s presence was commanding and intimidating in the first place. After lying low and not making public

appearances for an extended period, his presence was even colder and more imposing.

“Hello, everyone,” Bruce said. “It’s been a long time. Is everybody doing fine?” Bruce was expressionless. One

could not tell from his tone if he was happy or angry.

Mr. Eve-Everett…” Everyone was shocked. One after another, they stood

1.

When Liam saw that it was Bruce, he was shocked too. He looked at Bruce in surprise and said, “Ah. Bruce! Why,

why are you here?

“Can’t I come?” Bruce said. He then pursed his lips and smiled faintly.

Looking as if a king had descended, he walked past everyone and walked straight to Liam’s side.

Liam involuntarily stood up. When he saw Bruce’s unfriendly gaze, his Adam’s apple involuntarily bobbed twice.

The two of them had a height difference of 8 inches. Liam could only look up and gaze at Bruce’s face.

“Mr. Miller, do you find the chairman’s seat comfortable?” Bruce said coldly.

Liam was at a loss for words. He was stunned. Cold sweat trickled down his temples.

“Bru-Bruce, you, um, you’ve recovered, huh?” Liam asked.

Bruce sneered slightly. He said, “Why, Mr. Miller? Did you hope that I would recover or did you hope that I wouldn’t

recover?”

Liam said, “No. I certainly, um, certainly hope that you would recover…”

Bruce sneered as he walked a step forward, emitting a strong sense of oppression that made it difficult for Liam to

breathe.

Liam did not dare to look at Bruce’s expression anymore. As Bruce approached, Liam involuntarily moved two steps

backward.

Bruce unceremoniously sat in the seat he previously occupied during the meeting.

“Everybody, please take a seat!” Bruce said.

“Mr. Everett, Mr. Everett, that’s great!” everyone stuttered as they sat down.

All of them had complicated expressions on their faces. Some were amazed. Some were pleasantly surprised.

Some were shocked.

In short, everyone’s facial expressions were different.

Bruce swept his sharp eyes over everyone present.

“I’ve been away from the company recently,” he said. “I appreciate all your hard work.”

It was clearly a polite remark that might not reflect Bruce’s true feelings, but when everyone heard it, they felt a

chill down their spine.

During this period of time, most of the shareholders had their own ulterior motives. Taking advantage of the fact

that Bruce was seriously injured, a few of them were eager to make moves and secretly did many things that

violated the company’s

rules.

Now, Bruce was unexpectedly back alive and well.

They were dead meat. They would probably face even more difficulties.

However, not all shareholders were feeling guilty and afraid. Small shareholders like Mr. Bourn and Mr. Ball had

been relatively well-behaved. They did not dare to join Liam and others and engage in improper actions.

“Hi, Mr. Everett!”

“Welcome back, Mr. Everett. Great. Mr. Everett is finally back. We can all feel relieved now.”

“Yeah, that’s right…”

Before Mr. Paul finished talking, Bruce’s eyes flashed with a cold glint. He stared at Mr. Paul coldly.

Mr. Paul panicked. He quickly lowered his head.

“Bruce, I’m doing this for your sake, because you…”

As Bruce spoke, he quickly changed the topic. “It’s great that you’re back now. You should take over the position of

chairman.”

Liam still had a sense of self-awareness. He quickly took the initiative to step

“Haha!” Bruce laughed coldly.

down.

Upon hearing this, everyone felt even more terrified. Liam’s foreliead kept sweating profusely. “Without going

through this disaster, I wouldn’t be able to see everyone’s true colors,” Bruce said.

Everyone remained quiet. When they heard this, they lowered their heads and dared not look up.

Bruce, you know, you’ve been sick for so long,” Liam said. “The company definitely can’t be without someone to

manage it. I’m doing this for your own good…”

“Haha, Mr. Miller, you’ve managed the company very well,” Bruce said.

Liam was at a loss for words. He choked up. He knew that Bruce was being sarcastic.
