Chapter 1029 Joanna went to school for the children’s campus sports meet today.
Joanna was tired out when she returned to Sherane Bay Villa.
Davian and Irvin were in high spirits and still talking endlessly and excitedly. “I'm so happy, Mommy. Thanks for coming to our sports meet today.” “That's right! Among all parents, Mommy is the prettiest and has the best temperament. As soon as you showed up, you shone out other students’ mommies.” “Mommy is not only pretty but rich.” Joanna frowned when she heard that.
The parents of the students attending the sports meet today were all wealthy people or top celebrities.
Without a doubt, she was the eye-catcher and the most popular parent.
And that was very different from what people thought of her three years ago. Back then, she was still the scheming bitch who was despised by everyone and even demonized on the Internet.
But right now, everyone sucked up to her. She could still see awe and flattery in other parents’ eyes, although they did it tactfully.
“Uh, I've made up my mind. You guys will study in Antlen from next semester.” The two little ones looked at Joanna in confusion.
“Why?” “Well, if you study abroad, few people will know you. So you can live just like other children,” Joanna said, still a little worried.
The kids were only eight but already crazed to vie with each other. They knew who was the richest and whose car was the best.
This was not a good sign. She still hoped the children’s school life would be simpler and more ordinary.
“If we go to study in Antlen, we won't be able to see Daddy and Mommy, right?” Joanna thought it over and said earnestly, “No, that's not true! Daddy and Mommy might go abroad with you."/ Anyway, Bruce had promised her. After returning from his business trip, he would retire and entrust the company to a professional organization.

1/5 08:21 But she had renounced her Surbano nationality.
Lilia and Patricia also looked at the two of them excitedly. “Davian, Irvin, was the sports meet fun today?” “Yeah, it was. We had a great time. Mommy was amazing today. She got the first place in the race of parents.” “Really?” “Of course. Look! This is the prize.” Irvin handed Lilia the prize Joanna had won in school as if he was presenting a treasure.
“Wow! Mommy, you are awesome.” “Thanks.” Joanna smiled.
While the children were chattering, Joanna took out her phone and looked at it. She only saw a few junk messages on the screen and Grace’s messages on Messenger.
“Jeez! Still can't get through?” Joanna said to herself.
Beep! Beep! Joanna couldn't help but call Bruce again.
“Hello, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.” “It's been three days. Bruce, why don't you call me back? You're getting me worried sick.” Joanna grunted.
Joanna sent him a voice message. [Bruce, call me back ASAP.] Swoosh! It indicated that she had failed to send him the message on Messenger.
Joanna frowned and felt uneasy. “Where has he gone? Why is there no signal at all? “Damn it! He is getting more and more unreasonable,” she complained in a low voice.
Davian was playing with the model plane when he heard his mommy muttering. He tilted his head and asked, “Mommy, what did you say?” “Um, nothing. I'm just scrolling through my phone.” Davian raised the model plane and imitated the posture of taking off. “Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh...” “Mommy, | want to be a pilot when I grow up. No, | think it's cooler to be an astronaut.” “Okay,” Joanna replied perfunctorily.
“Irvin, what do you want to be when you grow up?” Irvin rolled his eyes and said mischievously, “I want to be a super-rich man like 2/5 08:21 Daddy.” “Gosh! You suck!” Davian rolled his eyes at Irvin in disdain.
“You don't understand, do you? | want to be a super-rich man and have many beautiful girlfriends. Huh, I'm going to feel Daddy's happiness.” Bang! Davian patted Irvin.
“You suck! It sucks!” Joanna listened to the boys bickering and could not help but observe them.
What a child was interested in decided what he would be in adulthood.
It could be told what a child was interested in from a young age.
Davian was undoubtedly interested in hacking and the aviation industry. And they could focus on cultivating his talents in these two aspects.
But she was a little worried about Irvin.
Irvin was already glib-tongued and quick-witted. Moreover, he was much more sophisticated than his age. He was only eight but was good at talking sweet words. She was worried that he would be ignorant and incompetent in the future. “Mommy, what's for dinner today? Can you make dumplings for us?” “Sorry, sweetie. Mommy is too tired today. I'll make dumplings for you some other time.” “Okay, Mommy. Do you want me to give you a massage?” “Oh, you're so sweet.” “Mommy, you got the first prize in the race. Your legs must be sore, right? “No worries. Let me rub your legs for you.” The two little ones started massaging Joanna's calves without hesitation.
“Mommy, are you feeling better now?” Looking at the sweet and grateful children, Joanna couldn't be more relieved. “Yeah. Much better.” “Mommy, we'll have a Christmas party next month.
“Can you go to the party with us then?” “Where are we going?” “I think we're going to Disneyland.” “Okay. We'll see!” “Ouch! Be gentle. Easy!” “Mommy, we're professionals.” “Yeah, you are. What else can | do except take it?” Joanna looked at her two sweet sons and could not help but smile.
3/5 08:21 In Tanzda.
“I don’t think there's any hope of rescuing that two of our partners.” “I suggest we do it Bruce's way. If it doesn’t work, I... I will go undercover,” Aria suggested.
Bruce said gloomily, “No, that will be too dangerous.” “But we can't just sit back and wait for death. We can’t wait any longer. We must do something.” “Sit tight. There must be a better way,” Bruce comforted.
Fry took a deep breath and said, “I heard that hundreds of thousand bats had attacked humans in the south. And the bats are carrying a large number of viruses.” “There was a bat plague in that area. A lot of people died.” “Shall we go and take a look? We might be able to find some clues there.” “How far is it from here?” “It's about 310 miles. It's a day's drive.” Bruce nodded in agreement. “We can go to the field to check it out.
“Now, we can't find any breakthrough here in the no man’s land.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Then who's going to stay here?” Leo pointed at Fry and said, “Fry and | will stay behind. The three of you go to the south!” “Fine! Be careful, guys.” “Okay, got it.” Soon, Bruce, Aria, and another agent planned to rush to the south to take a look.
“Bruce?” Aria looked at Bruce with a complicated gaze in the SUV.
“What's wrong?” Bruce replied indifferently.
“Nothing much.
“Right, What about your bodyguards and the assistant?” Bruce heard that and frowned.
“Let them go with us in case we need help.” Darcy and Carson were very professional. They would never ask about the boss’s secrets unless told.
This was also the reason why Bruce liked to bring them along and trusted them. After driving for two hours, they finally reached the place with a signal tower.
Swish! The phones rang non-stop.
4/5 08:21 “Finally! The phone got a signal.” Bruce quickly turned on the phone and found that Joanna had sent him many voice messages.
[Bruce, call me back ASAP. What the hell are you doing? Why can't | reach you?] Bruce looked at the dozens of voice messages below. He could guess what Joanna had said without listening.
“Bruce, | don't think it's a good idea for you to contact your wife for now, or she'll get too worried about you. It's better to explain to her later when the problem is resolved.” But Bruce acted as if he did not hear anything and dialed Joanna's number.
“You guys keep quiet. I'll call my wife now to tell her I'm safe.” He knew Joanna would be worried sick if she could not reach him.
He didn’t want her to worry about him.
Beep. Beep! The phone rang twice before Joanna picked up. “Hello?” “Honey, it's me.” Bruce deliberately said in a relaxed and playful voice.
Upon hearing Bruce's voice, Joanna's worries instantly turned into grievances. “Bruce, you bastard! Where are you?” “Didn't | tell you? I'm in no man’s land now. There's no signal nearby.” “I've just searched for information about Tanzda. There's no energy mine you've mentioned. You must be lying to me. Tell me the truth now. What did you do there?”
