Chapter 1091
Boom!
Leo’s words struck Joanna like a thunderbolt.
“What… what did you say? Say it again.” NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Aria’s heart skipped a beat. She immediately stopped Leo sternly. “Leo, shut up. Don’t say anything
else.”
A hint of helplessness appeared in Leo’s eyes. “Aria, let’s tell her the truth. Since she wants to know
the truth so much, let’s just tell her.”
“Ms. Haynes, I’ll tell you the truth. Unfortunately, Bruce was… dead.”
When Joanna heard this, she paused for a moment before sneering. “Impossible! This is definitely
impossible! Aria, where did you hide Bruce?
“Yeah, it must be you who hid him. Hurry up and tell me where Bruce is. Aria, you can’t be so
shameless. Bruce has a wife and children. What you’re doing is too despicable.”
As Joanna spoke, she lost control and aimed her gun at Aria again.
At this moment, she really wanted to shoot Aria without thinking about anything else.
Aria did not retort. She just closed his eyes in pain.
Seeing this, Leo was almost scared out of his wits. He liked Aria and was afraid that Joanna would
impulsively hurt Aria.
“Ms. Haynes, calm down. I swear to God, I’m not lying to you.”
“Bruce is dead, really. Don’t hurt Aria. She has nothing to do with Bruce’s death.”
“Shut up. I won’t believe you.” Joanna’s entire body was trembling. She did not believe Leo’s words at
all.
“How is it possible that Bruce was dead?” Joanna wondered. “He is Bruce Everett!
“How could the worst and most domineering man in the world die?”
“Bruce is really dead. I’m not lying to you.”
“Shut up and stop lying. I won’t believe you.
“If you don’t tell me where Bruce is today, I will kill you and then kill myself.” Joanna was angry and
panicked. Her hand trembled as she pulled the trigger again.
Her eyes were as red as blood, and she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
“Hurry up and tell the truth!”
Aria looked at Joanna sadly as tears rolled down her face.
Her expression was extremely sorrowful, and her face was extremely haggard. She must have been
having a bad time recently.
When Joanna looked at Aria’s sorrowful expression, her heart sank.
She couldn’t help but be suspicious.
Aria’s reaction was real. Bruce might really have… died.
“I don’t believe it. I won’t believe it. My husband won’t die. He won’t die. It must be you. You must have
hidden him somewhere…”
Seeing this, Darcy hurriedly went forward to comfort Joanna. “Mrs. Everett, don’t be too agitated. “Put
your gun away first. Don’t hurt yourself.”
Leo heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Ms. Haynes, if you don’t believe me, you can ask Darcy and
Carson. “I admit that the person above is indeed not the real Bruce. We cloned Bruce. However, we are
not deceiving you maliciously. We are just following Bruce’s order.”
“Leo, stop talking…” Aria still wanted to stop Leo.
“Aria, at this point, we can’t hide it anymore. There’s no need to hide it.” Leo frowned and said
agitatedly.
“Bruce asked us to make that clone. He didn’t want you and your children to be sad after he died.

Therefore, he asked us to make a clone a long time ago in case anything happened.
“This is Bruce’s love for you. Why do you have to let him down?
“Although the person above is a clone, he has Bruce’s genes and memories. You can treat him as
him…” Joanna could not take it anymore. “No, no… This is not real. This is not real.”
“Mrs. Everett! Mrs. Everett!” Darcy hurriedly supported her and snatched the gun from her hand.
Joanna sucked in a breath of cold air. Her mind went dark, and she fell back heavily.
“Mrs. Everett, wake up.” Darcy and Carson hurriedly supported her.
Then, they helped her to the sofa.
Joanna could not withstand this huge stimulation and had already lost consciousness.
She really couldn’t accept this outcome.
Aria went forward to check. “It’s okay. She just fainted. Let her sleep for a while.”
Darcy narrowed his eyes and looked at Leo coldly. “Is what you said true? Has Mr. Everett passed
away?”
Leo nodded and replied with a heavy expression, “It’s true.
“You’ve been with Bruce in no man’s land for so many days. You should know if what I said is true.”
Darcy’s heart skipped a beat. He asked in a trembling voice, “When did it happen?”
“Do you still remember the day when Jason and the Fry went to pick up Bruce and you?”
Darcy nodded. “Yeah, I remember.”
Leo frowned and said bitterly, “That day, after Bruce and Aria returned to the camp, we were chased by
District 17’s patrol team.
“In order to save us, Bruce went alone to lure the patrol team away, buying us time to escape.”
When Darcy and Carson heard this, their hearts ached even more.
They believed that what Leo said was true.
After all, they had narrowly escaped that day. Bruce was indeed doomed to die alone.
“Mr. Everett…”
“What should we do? Mrs. Everett and Mr. Everett’s children are still so young.
“Why would this happen to Mr. Everett? This is totally unfair.”
The two of them looked grief-stricken.
“Let’s think about what we should do after Mrs. Everett wakes up.
“Mrs. Everett definitely can’t take this heavy blow.”
Leo’s eyes darkened. “Aria, you know hypnosis, right? You might as well hypnotize her and make her
forget what happened today. Then, she can just go back with the clone of Bruce and live her life
peacefully. She will forget everything.”
Hearing this, Aria let out a long sigh.
It seemed that this was the only way for now.
She hypnotized Joanna and made her forget the memories of Bruce coming to Melta.
“Let’s wait until she wakes up!”
Before Aria could finish her sentence, Joanna had already woken up in a daze.
She had just lost consciousness for two to three minutes.
Joanna heard the rest of their conversation.
“Bruce… Bruce…” Joanna felt as if her heart had been sliced up by a meat grinder. It was so painful
that she could not even breathe.
“Mrs. Everett, don’t be so agitated. My condolences.”
Cough, cough…” Joanna’s chest heaved violently.
When she lowered her head, she vomited a mouthful of blood.

“Mrs. Everett!” Darcy looked even more sorrowful when he saw this.
Joanna staggered to her feet. “Bruce… Bruce… How… how could you go back on your word? “You
said you’d come back. You said you wouldn’t lie to me again. Bruce… you bastard…
“Ahem…” Joanna bent over and coughed out another mouthful of blood.
Bruce was dead. She really didn’t have the courage to live anymore.
“Mrs. Everett! Mrs. Everett! Don’t be so agitated. Mr. Everett definitely doesn’t want to see you like
this.”
“Go away! I’m going to find him! I’m going to find him!” Joanna almost lost her mind as she stumbled
toward the door.
She was going to look for Bruce.
Even if he was in Hell, she had to find him.
Seeing this, Aria immediately stepped forward and hit Joanna on the back of her head with some force.
Joanna’s body went limp, and she fell limply again. Soon, she fell unconscious,
Darcy and Carson were shocked. “What are you doing? What did you do to Mrs. Everett?”
Aria frowned. “She’s too agitated. If she continues to be like this, it will cause the blood vessels in her
heart to burst.”
This was true. When a person was too sad, the blood vessels in his heart would really explode.
Especially for those with weak hearts, they would die on the spot.
This was a huge blow to Joanna.
She really couldn’t stand it.
