A Man with Nerves of Steel Chapter 1016
"Oh? What makes you think that?" Joseph asked."We're going to be in an arranged marriage, so I'm basically yours now. You've given me a car, a house, and all that, which means you've accepted me, too. I've made my peace with that, and I know how these things work."Joseph laughed. "You're adorable! I'll have dinner with your family soon. We'll hash out the details, and then you'll move in with me. After that, no take-backs and no second thoughts.""Okay. I'll leave it up to you then!"Elise finally felt at ease and started telling him about her recent activities. She'd been focusing on her grooming, posture, and manners. The training was exhausting, but it was worth it.When they reached her neighborhood, Joseph showed no intention of getting out, just gesturing for her to head in herself. Elise asked, "One last question—my family wants to know h-how you got out alive.""I'd suspected for a while that someone was out to get me, so I never got on the yacht in the first place! If

Owen obviously wasn't going to tell Henry anything. That was because the Henry standing before him now was ruthless, with both the power and the justification to eliminate anyone who dared disagree with him.Joseph pulled out a syringe filled with a clear liquid and waved it in front of Owen. It was just plain saline water. "Owen, I've been over your test results. You've been poisoned by people from the Croma faction. The nerves in your legs are damaged, and your liver and kidneys are starting to fail."After consulting with the medical team, we've decided to—""You degenerate beast! You wouldn't fucking dare!"Owen panicked, as he was sure that Joseph was planning to torture him before using perfectly legitimate medical procedures to make sure he died in the hospital.At his age, getting sick was only natural, after all. And he wasn't exactly going to get much sympathy. He'd lived long enough to make plenty of enemies along the way."Give me one reason not to do it," Joseph repl

"Honey, where are you going?" Cora asked quickly."I'm not needed around here, so I might as well head back up the mountain. That way the rest of you can have some peace."Joseph glanced over at Bernard. "Bernard, I know you're the type to go strong in your twilight years, but at your age, I'd suggest enjoying life while you can and letting things take their natural course."Stop making a fuss over nothing. It's not going to get you anywhere. Jenton belongs to the younger generation now."Bernard let out a snort but said nothing in response. He'd considered having the bodyguards outside forcibly stop Joseph from leaving, but there was no point.Owen had already been completely crushed, and that proved Henry really had become powerful enough to control everything in Jenton single-handedly."Honey, next time you come down the mountain, let me know ahead of time so I can come pick you up," Cora said as she walked him out."Who knows when I'll be down the mountain again? Let's just

Bernard woke up early with his heart suddenly pounding and a restless feeling he couldn't shake. But when he looked around and found nothing out of place, he brushed it off.When the kids went to rouse Cora, though, they found her door firmly shut. Since she clearly hadn't gotten up yet, Bernard asked Helen to take the kids to school.As Helen headed out, she noticed an extra car parked outside. It belonged to Joseph, and she immediately understood why Cora was sleeping in.She was sure that Joseph had come over in the middle of the night, and they'd kept each other busy until they were both too exhausted to get up this morning.In fact, by the time Helen got back from dropping off the kids, Joseph and Cora still hadn't gotten up yet. She turned to Bernard instead. "You're not going out today?"Bernard replied, "I've got nothing on today, so I'll take it easy at home. I won't be eating here this afternoon, though."I'm meeting Owen. He's going to share some tips on staying health

"So Zachary will have amnesia? You mean he might not remember me?" Yasmin asked."Well, I don't think he'll forget that specifically."Joseph smiled. Having delivered the message, he went over the injection instructions one more time before leaving.Sure enough, he noticed that Yasmin requested to see Zachary that very night, eager for him to wake up as soon as possible. While the Howe family's doctors were busy elsewhere, Yvette took it upon herself to let Yasmin into Zachary's room.Then, during the early-morning shift change, Joseph seized the opportunity to slip in under Yvette's cover.He treated Zachary and partially undid some of what he'd done to him before.At 10:00 am, Zachary finally came to, much to the delight of both the Howe and Yeager families. The only problem was that while he recognized everyone around him, he couldn't remember anything that had happened recently.Well, naturally—how could he remember things he'd never even experienced? If he did, hell would'v

The Howe family's doctors were running themselves ragged, but nothing they did could wake Zachary up.If Mavis and the others hadn't insisted on keeping him alive, the doctors would have already declared him brain-dead.With how often Mavis and Steven came and went, they were practically living at the hospital. Both were desperate for Zachary to wake up already so that he could hand over control of the Yeager family's finances and explain where all the family's money had gone.Otherwise, even with Steven taking over, he'd face a group with zero cash flow and a mountain of debt. Basically, they'd go bankrupt the moment he took office.As Joseph watched it all unfold, he was almost touched by the situation. He decided to bring Zachary back around and have him take the fall for everything.After all, Zachary had set Grace up before, so Joseph had every reason to want him dead. And if he could get Mavis and the rest of the Yeager family to do the dirty work for him, that would be even

Joseph rejected Cora's unreasonable demands without hesitation. "No way. I meant every word. The paternity test result is real, which means your cheating is real. You've already been unfaithful, so there's no point in keeping this marriage going. We have to di—""Joseph, is this the sort of attitud

Cora had once been the number-one beauty in Jenton. Even now, at 40 years old, she was still stunning. Thanks to her good maintenance routine and a pampered lifestyle, there was no trace of age on her face—she looked like she was 28 at most. Her age only added a touch of mature charm to her.She wa

When Joseph finally woke from his drunken stupor, he found himself in a luxurious king-sized bed in a hotel room. He was completely naked under the covers, and from the mess all around, he'd definitely gotten down and dirty.His head buzzed as he tried to piece together last night's events. After f

Joseph Hart stared blankly at the three paternity test reports in front of him. The confirmation that he and his children shared no biological relationship stabbed at his eyes.All three of his daughters were confirmed to have no blood relation to him. His eldest, Natalie Hart, was 15 years old. Th
