Chapter 832
Upon hearing Bruce’s words, Joanna was completely speechless.
What a heartless bastard!
She was about to lose her life for him.
Yet he actually said such sarcastic words.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Bruce looked at her face carefully again.”
Joanna closed her eyes and pondered. “I have nothing to say to you. You can say whatever you want.”
“Are you angry?”
Joanna pursed her lips. She really did not want to talk to him anymore.
Bruce hurriedly coaxed her when seeing that she was a little unhappy. “Darling, it’s not that I’m not willing to help.
But it’s his family matters. I can’t interfere with others’ family affairs. Right?
“Besides, I have a bunch of things to do in the Everett Group. Lilia’s illness has been delayed for two years. If we
delay any longer, it might be too late to do the corrective surgery.
“The doctor said that it was better to do the surgery before 8 years old. Lilia is about to be 8 years old. Her bones
will turn harder and harder.
“I’m considering taking her to do the surgery after you get better. We can’t wait any longer.”
When Joanna heard this, she suddenly opened her eyes again. She frowned even more.
What he said was true.
Lilia’s leg disease could not be delayed any longer. They were supposed to bring her for corrective surgery last
year.
However, because of Bruce’s incident and the series of troublesome matters that followed, they didn’t have time to
go abroad for surgery the next year.
It was the golden period to treat her.
If this period was missed, Lilia’s bones would turn harder. In that case, she might not be able to stand up for the
rest of her -life.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeeing that Joanna’s expression softened, Bruce continued, “Think about it. You’re so badly injured now. You’ll have
to stay in the hospital for at least two to three months.
“Lilia will need at least three to five months of recovery after the corrective surgery in Gaprington. We will only be
back after at least half a year.
“The lawsuit of the Grimm Group will last for a long time. Maybe three years or five years, or even longer. We can’t
delay our daughter’s treatment because of him, right?”
When Joanna heard this, she became even more worried. “Alright. You still said this.”
“Lilia’s illness really can’t wait any longer. I mean you can help Jay think of a way to deal with Cassius… Just teach
him, okay?”
“Tsk, forget it! Damn Jaydon. He’s not capable enough, but he’s arrogant and proud.
“Do you think he’ll accept my help?”
Joanna’s eyes darkened.
It was true.
Jaydon was very prideful. He was probably unwilling to accept Bruce’s help.
“You can lend him money if you want to help him. You can also provide him with the best lawyer team. You really
help him a lot by doing that.
“As for others, outsiders really can’t interfere. Moreover, he’s a man. There are some paths that he has to walk
himself.” Joanna was completely convinced and decided not to beg him anymore. “Alright, alright, stop talking.
You’re really nagging.”
“I was afraid you’d be angry, wasn’t I? I’m afraid you’d think I refuse to help your ex.
When Joanna heard this, she immediately glared at him sharply.
She and Jaydon… Actually, Jadyon couldn’t be considered her ex.
Back then, she agreed to his proposal because he had an accident and almost lost the desire to live.
Joanna agreed to marry him in order to cheer him up and repay his kindness.
Thinking about it now, Joanna suddenly shuddered.
Was Bruce behind Jaydon’s accident?
It sounded quite possible.
Bruce had said more than once that he wanted to break Jaydon’s legs.
“Heh… Honey, can you not look at me like that?” Bruce felt guilty after being stared at by Joanna.
Every time she looked at him like that, it meant that she was angry.
Moreover, once she got angry, the consequences were very serious.
“Alright, alright, alright. I shouldn’t have said that. I was wrong, okay?” Bruce quickly admitted defeat and rubbed
her hair ingratiatingly.
“My dear wife, I was wrong. Don’t get angry so easily. Getting angry will ruin your health. Don’t be angry.”
“Bruce, did you plan Jay’s car accident?” Joanna suddenly asked.
Bruce was at a loss for words. He widened his eyes, appearing that he was wronged.
“You said more than once that you wanted to break Jay’s leg. And his leg was broken during the accident.
“I’m warning you. You’re not allowed to hurt Jay behind my back.”
When Bruce heard that, he looked even more wronged. “Oh, my goodness. I’m really wronged.
“What does his car accident have to do with me? Am I that free to deal with him?
“You, you, you… I’m a good man. You can’t accuse me. I always obey the laws. I’m a good citizen.”
When Joanna heard this, she took a deep breath.
Even if he did it…
He wouldn’t admit it either.
Besides, it had been so long, there was no need to pursue the matter.
It was fine as long as he could turn over a new leaf in the future and not do those crazy things.
“Alright, I was just asking casually. I didn’t say that you did it.”
Bruce retorted angrily, “I didn’t do it in the first place. Why are you accusing me?”
“Humph, I’m never a good man in your opinion. You always blame me for whatever bad things.
“I feel so wronged? I’m such a good man. Are you all blind? Why are you all coming to accuse me and scold me?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDo you have a conscience?”
still
Joanna could not help but feel angry and amused when she saw how annoyed he was. “Alright, alright, alright I’ll
apologize to you, okay? I shouldn’t have doubted you.”
“Yes! You should never doubt me.
“I’m such a good man! I’m a good person who always obey laws. I love my wife and kids. I devote a lot to the
society and my family.
“There’s no other man as good as me in the world. I’m the only one…”
Joanna couldn’t take it anymore and went completely crazy.
This damn guy felt good about himself and thought that he was extraordinary.
“Ahem, ahem. Bruce, can you not be so narcissistic? I can’t bear that any longer.”
“Alas… Don’t talk so much. Hurry up and leave!”
When she saw him, she felt dizzy. Out of sight, out of mind.
Bruce glared at her. “Where do you want me to go?”
“I’m tired. I want to rest.
“Also, I… I’m a little hungry. Go find me something to eat.
“Okay, okay, okay. What do you want to eat? I’ll get someone to prepare it.”
“Also, if you want to lend money to Jaydon, 100 million dollars at most.”
“Why?” Joanna asked.
“No reason. This is my bottom line. Even if you owe him, you can’t help him with all your might.
“In that case, the friendship between you will change. You have to know your limits. Understand?” Bruce sounded
meaningful.
He didn’t want Joanna and Jaydon to have any connections any longer.
But in this situation…
He knew that he could not stop it.
