Chapter 456

There’s probably no one else but Yanice Group who dares to provoke Bruce in this manner.

The Everett Group is the leading powerhouse in Greyport, with Yanice Group coming in second. Their primary businesses revolve around real estate development and mineral energy.

Marcus Yanice, the president of Yanice Group who belongs to the same generation as Bruce’s father, is approaching his sixties. The two families have always been fierce rivals, and their relationship has never been amicable.

Over a decade ago, Bruce and Marcus’s eldest son, Marlowe, engaged in cutthroat competition in the business world. In the end, Bruce emerged victorious, while Marlowe was sentenced to nine years in prison for illegal financing.

Last year, Marlowe was released from prison, and it was only a matter of time before he sought retribution from Bruce.

“Mr. Everett, Marlowe, the vice president of Yanice Group, was released from prison last year. Could he be the one pulling the strings behind the scenes?” Andy asked, his expression grave.

Upon hearing this, Bruce’s eyebrows furrowed, and a hint of menace flashed in his piercing eyes.

“It’s highly possible. Keep an eye on him, see what tricks he’s up to! If he dares to play dirty, we must be prepared beforehand.”

“Got it. Mr. Everett.”

Bruce exhaled a plume of smoke, his face growing even more fearsome amidst the swirling haze.

Marlowe was arrogant and domineering, bordering on madness. He had spent nine years in prison, not directly at the hands of Bruce, but indirectly due to his actions.

If Marlowe didn’t seek revenge against Bruce upon his release, it would be a surprise indeed.

Twenty minutes later, the car pulled up directly at the children’s hospital.

“We’ve arrived at the hospital, Mr. Everett.”

“Hmmm!” Bruce stepped out of the car, shook off the scent of smoke from his body, and walked straight into the ward.

Inside the ward, Joanna sat beside Lilia, carefully feeding her some liquid food. “Sweetheart, are you still feeling uncomfortable?”

“Mmm, not as uncomfortable as before.”

“Then take one more bite, okay?”

“Mama, I can’t eat anymore.”

“Come on, just one more bite. You need to eat a little more.” Joanna scooped up a spoonful of nutritious supplement and

held it near Lilia’s mouth.

“Okay!” Lilia reluctantly opened her mouth and swallowed the supplement.

“Mama, I really can’t eat anymore.”

“Alright, if you get hungry later, we’ll eat again.” Joanna quickly grabbed a few tissues and wiped the drool from her daughter’s mouth.

Lilia had been vomiting for the past few days and hardly had any appetite. So even if she managed to eat a little, Joanna was pleased.
