The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)

Chapter 1197

“Damn it!” Bruce cursed. He was so angry that he almost spat out blood.

All the notables in Greyport showed Bruce some respect. However, the same couldn’t be said for

Porash because it was not his territory. Although he had business investments, they were not as

valuable as the ones in Greyport.

Marcus’ hometown was Porash, so he, of course, had a good relationship with politicians and leaders

from all walks of life as long as he said hello, the few corrupt people in Porash would instinctively know

what to do.

“Mr. Everett, what do we do now?”

Bruce frowned in deep thought.

Now, he definitely couldn’t show up as himself. Moreover, everyone thought that he had been shot. If

he appeared, it would only cause more trouble.

Joanna couldn’t show up either. She had just woken up, and her body was still frail. Coupled with the

fact that she was pregnant, it made things worse. No matter what, she couldn’t show her face.

He pondered for nearly half a minute.

Bruce let out a cold breath. “Alright, I understand. Let Mr. Jameson go over there. I’ll call you back

later.”

“Alright.”

Bruce’s tone was heavy as he said solemnly, “Remember, no matter what happens, you must keep

Boris alive. You can’t let him die.”

“Understood.”

Porash.

Northshore Hospital, the ICU ward.

The clone had been shot near the chest area. Although the bullet had been removed, the shot was too

close to the heart.

He was in a severe coma, and whether he would die or live was unknown.

A large number of reporters were still waiting at the entrance of the hospital.

The police surrounded the entrance of the ward. Other than the doctor, no one was allowed to

approach.

Darcy was still trying to reason with these people. “We will now take Mr. Everett back to Greyport for

treatment.”

An attending physician replied coldly, “I’m very sorry. The patient is in a critical condition and can’t

leave the hospital for now.”

Darcy frowned. “We’ve already sent a team of medical experts to take good care of the patient.”

“That won’t work either.”

“Do you know who’s inside?” Darcy was so angry that he choked.

He had never seen anyone disrespect Mr. Everett like this.

“No one can do it. Officer Sully has instructed that before the case is solved, the patient can’t leave the

hospital.”

“Mr. Everett is from Greyport, so of course, he must go back for treatment.”

The doctor replied coldly, “We are currently in Porash.”

“You lot were all at the scene when the crime happened. Please follow us to the hospital to help with

our investigation.”

Darcy frowned angrily and said, “No, we can’t leave the hospital. We’re Mr. Everett’s bodyguards. Our Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

responsibility is to protect our boss.”

“Now, in the name of the police, we suspect you are involved in a terrorist attack. You have to

cooperate with the investigation unconditionally,” a police officer said with a stiff and cold expression.

“What a joke. We’re the victims,” Darcy tried to retort.

“Don’t talk so much. Let’s go to the police station and have you make a statement first.”

Darcy’s temples bulged. He was furious.

Once they entered the police station, the police could still find an excuse to detain them for up to 24

hours, even if they didn’t commit a crime.

Who knew what would happen in the next 24 hours?

“What if I don’t go?”

“If you don’t go, we have even more reason to suspect you’re involved in this shooting.”

“Sir, are you serious? Instead of investigating the murderer, you’re

suspecting us? We’re Mr. Everett’s bodyguards. What’s the use of investigating us?”
