The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)

Chapter 1158

Bruce sat down on the stool in the living room. His heart was in turmoil, and he did not know what to

do.

Bruce really did not want to carry such a heavy burden.

However, Richard had already said so much. If Bruce still refused, it would more or less seem like he

didn’t know what was good for him.

Fifteen minutes later.

Crack!

The door was pulled open.

Richard and Aria walked out.

“Mr/Everett.”

‘Mr. Thompson!”

Richard smiled kindly at the two of them. “You have to work well together in the future. I’m leaving

Greyport in the afternoon.

“Ms. Bridges will be your most capable assistant in the future. I hope the two of you can work well

together.”

When Bruce heard this, he frowned. “Mr. Thompson, please consider carefully. I really can’t bear this

heavy responsibility. Please choose a more suitable candidate…”

Richard’s face tensed up, and his expression was dignified. “How about this? I’ll give you a long holiday

for a year first. After a year, if you still insist on withdrawing, then… then we’ll deal with it

appropriately.”

“Mr. Thompson, I’ve thought it through.” This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Mr. Everett, this is the best compromise I can make.

“Don’t disappoint me, and don’t let down my efforts.

“Don’t think too much about anything now. Take a break in peace and deal with your personal matters

in peace. The organization will reserve your position for you. When you feel that you’ve rested enough,

you can return to your position.

“In the meantime, the organization won’t assign you any more missions.

You can rest in peace.”

“Alright!” Bruce looked at Richard solemnly. He really could not find an excuse to decline.

Agreeing to a-year holiday was just a temporary measure. If it really didn’t work out, Bruce would insist

on quitting.

“We’re going back first.”

“Okay!”

After bidding farewell to Richard, the two of them returned to Ritz Villa.

In the car, Aria seemed very excited and tried to find something to say from time to time.

“Bruce, why don’t you look very happy?”

Bruce had a lot on his mind and was not in the mood to say anything.

“Look! Mr. Thompson thinks highly of you and appointed you as the deputy director. Did you know that?

You’re the first and youngest deputy director in the organization!

“Although the burden is heavy, you have to know it’s because Mr. Thompson and the higher-ups think

highly of you that they entrusted you with a heavy responsibility. You should be happy. Moreover, you

will have a higher future and room for improvement in the future.

“The president of Eprary used to be the deputy director of the Special Affairs Bureau. You shouldn’t

stop here…”

That was true.

This was the highest position in the National Defense Bureau, a position that many people could not

even dream of. In hundreds of years, Bruce would be recorded in history.

This glory was definitely not something a billionaire’s wealth could compare to. Since ancient times, the

poor did not fight with the rich, and the rich did not compete with the officials.

Power and authority were the core of the pyramid.

So what if someone was rich? In the face of power, wealth and capital were nothing. To put it bluntly, no

matter how rich someone was, he had to rely on power.

Aria kept talking excitedly. According to Bruce’s current state, if he was willing to develop his career

well, there would really be endless possibilities in the future.

Aria really did not understand why Bruce would give up his great career prospects and focus on being

an ordinary businessman.

In other words, Aria even felt that Joanna was dragging Bruce down. A woman behind a successful

man should support her husband to go further and fly higher rather than tying him to her and ruining his

future.
