Chapter 79

“Mr. Everett… The chauffeur was trembling with fear.

“Shut up!”

The chauffeur was so frightened that he did not dare to speak anymore.

He knew Bruce’s temper and could only silently pray they remained safe.

Margaret called as soon as Bruce returned home.

Bruce frowned but still picked up the call. “Hello, Grandma!”

Margaret’s voice sounded from the other end of the line. “Bruce, come and have dinner tonight with me!”

“Grandma, I’m a little tired today. Can we do it another day?”

Margaret pondered briefly before earnestly advising, “Bruce, I don’t want to interfere in your personal matters.

“But you have to think of potential repercussions. Don’t act recklessly!

“Since you’re preparing to marry the Haynes family’s second daughter, don’t get too involved with their eldest daughter. Otherwise, people will gossip, negatively affecting the Everett Group!”

Margaret had also seen the pictures of Bruce and Joanna kissing passionately at the airport.

After all, the Everett family was the wealthiest family in Greyport.

Every move of theirs was bound to be eye–catching, so many things had to be considered when they acted.

Although Margaret did not like Roxanne, she was a person who valued promises. Her word given was as good as done.

Since she had promised the Haynes family that Bruce would marry Roxanne, Margaret would not allow Bruce to fool around outside.

Bruce took a deep breath. “Got it, Grandma!”

“I asked you to bring Joanna’s children back so I could look at them. It’s been so long. Why haven’t you brought the children. back yet?”

Speaking of Joanna, Bruce’s heart flared with anger. He pursed his lips. “She said that the children don’t belong to the Everett family. There’s no need for you to take a look at the children, Grandma.”

Margaret fell silent on the other end of the phone.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first! I’ll go back and eat with you this weekend, Grandma.”
