A Man with Nerves of Steel Chapter 1022
Cora wasn't aware that Joseph had developed an improved version of Vitality Pills and was mass-producing them for his men to consume. These pills brought out their full physical potential, while professional training turned them into formidable fighters. That was why Joseph had nothing to fear. He could cure his patients and make healthy people stronger. The stronger his men were, the more he could accomplish, and the easier it was to get things done. Cora and the others still saw Joseph as a useless doctor who only knew how to poison people and couldn't even protect himself. By underestimating him, they were only setting themselves up for trouble. But Joseph had no intention of telling them how wrong they were. If they were determined to keep looking down on him, that was their problem.Cora said, "The truth is, my husband and Henry are working on a much larger scale than you can imagine. In fact, Henry never could've brought Owen Zahn down that easily without my husband's help
A Man with Nerves of Steel Chapter 1021
Peyton failed to convince Joseph to go with her. Seeing her men beaten unconscious and taken to the hospital left her angry and helpless. She had no choice but to face the truth—Joseph had become incredibly powerful. After weighing her options, Peyton decided to head to Jenton to visit Cora. Cora had no plans to return home. She decided to stay at the company's villa and leave the household to Helen. Cora invited Peyton to have tea and said, "My husband just got back, and here you are in Jenton. It's almost as if you two planned it, huh?"As Cora studied Peyton, another thought crossed her mind. The last time she had persuaded Peyton to become Joseph's mistress, Peyton had actually turned her down. Naturally, Peyton wouldn't agree to carry Cora and Joseph's baby either. Peyton seemed to be going through a rough patch, both within the Roth family and elsewhere. She was emotionally vulnerable, so Cora felt she could take advantage of that. Relationships built on one-to-one con

"Joseph, I've already apologized to you for what I did. I hope we can still be friends. In other words, I'm trying to help you here, so don't take it for granted," Peyton said. "Ha! So this is the real you, huh? You kept up the act for so long. I was starting to worry how much longer you could keep it up."Joseph chuckled. He pulled a cigarette from his pack, lit it, and took a drag. "Peyton, this is Tidecrest, not Venley. We're not in your family's turf anymore. Your people aren't taking me anywhere.""You said it yourself. I've been keeping up the act for so long. Of course I've had time to call for backup. "In fact, my men are already outside. If you come quietly, we can do this the easy way. Otherwise, I'll knock you out and have my men carry you out of here. "That would be embarrassing, wouldn't it? We're in Tidecrest, not Jenton. Henry can't protect you here!" Peyton refused to back down as well. "I may not have learned much lately, but I do know how to give people a ta

On a river cruise along the Blackveil River, Joseph met up with Frost and Yelena. They sat together, sipping tea and chatting.As the yacht passed the spot where Henry's body double and that assassin had rammed each other, Joseph asked Frost, "Your family's risk management specialists sure are willing to lay down their lives. With an explosion that powerful, even an industrial vessel probably would have gone under."Frost answered, "Honestly, if the explosion hadn't gone off, followed by everything that happened in Jenton, I wouldn't have believed the Yale family had actually sent out its team of specialists."We've completely crossed Henry this time, and I'm afraid the Yale family's days are numbered. Joseph, I was hoping to use your connections to apologize to Henry and ask him not to retaliate indiscriminately."Yelena looked out at the river. All she saw was the water rushing east, with no sign of the explosion. The victim had literally been blown to bits, leaving not a single

"You know why you've ended up where you are, don't you? The Lowell family won't have you, and Henry treats you like a lapdog—all because you're weak and indecisive."Golden opportunities drop right into your lap, and you let them slip away. Well, there's a golden one right in front of you. Don't screw yourself over again!" Owen exclaimed."No. My past failures came down to one thing—trusting people too easily, especially the people closest to me. I treated them like decent human beings and assumed they were good people. The truth is, some people don't even deserve to be called human."And let me be straight with you. If it weren't for that gold you gave me, I wouldn't have bothered coming here. In my eyes, an old relic like you reek of rot from head to toe.""And to me, you're just an idiot who refuses to listen to his elders!" Owen snapped.If he weren't so weak, he'd have marched over and slapped Joseph twice already to knock some sense into him and make him understand that foll

Joseph brought Rhea to the group headquarters, where he convened a video conference with the Roundtable Council and promptly vetoed the new representatives the Yeager family and the Summers family had put forward.He even demanded that the Yeager family restore Zachary as its head and that the Summers family return its leadership to Dean.As it happened, with Henry "blown to bits" and the Howe family facing its reckoning, the Yeagers and the Summers had quietly spent this stretch finishing their coups.Henry used the alliance between the Zahn, Yeager, and Summers families as an excuse to voice his displeasure that two of the families had changed their heads without even informing him.He said they either reinstate his original partners or that would be the end of the alliance. And if they chose the latter, the Yeager and Summers families could expect to be kicked out of the Roundtable Council.During the meeting, the Howe family openly opposed the Zahn family. They even accused th

Joseph met Bernard's scrutinizing gaze and said, "It's genuine. I didn't believe this was the truth, either, so I did a few more paternity tests with different labs. But the results… they didn't change."Bernard didn't speak right away. He just stared at Joseph, his eyes sharp and probing.A bitte

Joseph was prepared for this and met Cora's gaze head-on. "Cora, you're now the richest person in Jenton. Your net worth is what, 80 billion dollars? And that's even a conservative guess. I'm not going to make some ridiculous demand to split everything equally. That money isn't mine, and I didn't ea

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
