LOGIN"Yara is no longer a threat to us. Henry has the Zahns under his control, so she can't access their resources any longer. "Skylar's crippled too. We can kill him whenever we want, but the only reason we haven't done it is that we don't want to get our hands dirty."Yara's not as healthy as she used to be. She can't stir up any trouble for us!" Cora declared. Joseph had punished Yara, and she almost had to have her leg amputated. Later, she was tricked into acting as a surrogate for Joseph and Cora, which caused her health to deteriorate even further. What was there to fear from a woman like Yara now?Joseph noticed how confident Cora was and thought to himself, "If that makes her happy, so be it."They continued chatting for a while, and Joseph asked for a few more details. He learned that whenever they slept together, she would collect his genetic material and freeze it. Later, she had someone isolate it and store it for IVF purposes. Cora said she still had five more sampl
Cora's words left Joseph stunned, but he didn't believe her. Sure, those babies looked just like him, but that alone wasn't enough to prove they were his. More importantly, he couldn't trust her. She had lied to him for almost 20 years. He couldn't bring himself to trust her again.Joseph stared at Cora and asked, "What are you up to this time? Just tell me. Stop beating around the bush.""Honey, you don't believe me, and I get it. But I have DNA test results proving they're really yours," Cora said, handing him the paternity results she had prepared in advance. She had given their sons random names—Max Hart and Milo Hart. The report made it clear. They were clearly Joseph's biological sons."Honey, if you don't believe me, you can have their DNA tested yourself. But I'm telling you. They're ours—both yours and mine. Honey, I've finally given you sons.""Don't get ahead of yourself. I'll definitely have their DNA tested!" Joseph called his assistants in and had them collect DNA
Cora insisted, "Honey, I'm not the kind of woman you think I am. If anyone tries to slander me, don't believe anything they say! You have to trust me!""And how am I supposed to trust you? You've been keeping your past from me. You never let me know what you're up to out there. "You think you can charm your way out of anything, huh? You think you can win men over with your looks, but they only see you as a plaything. I don't trust you!" Joseph exclaimed. "Oh, honey. You've got me all wrong. I don't even know what else I can say to make you believe me, but you have to know that I love you! I really love you," Cora said quickly, but Joseph didn't respond. She began to realize perhaps he really didn't trust her anymore. "Is that so? I'll be the judge of that! That's all I have to say to you. You can leave now." Joseph made it clear that it was time for Cora to leave. He didn't want her getting involved in anything happening in Tidecrest. After all, she wasn't always on his side.
Cora arrived at Tidecrest and saw that Joseph's company was nowhere near as large as Hart Group in Jenton. Unfortunately, her timing couldn't have been worse. Joseph was nowhere to be seen. Instead, she ran into Peyton.Peyton came to Tidecrest hoping to build ties with Joseph's company. She planned to start a small company with her own money and make it a subsidiary of his company. Only one employee worked in the office. She was responsible for cleaning, secretarial work, and clerical tasks. After pouring some tea for Cora and Peyton, she stepped away. Cora asked, "What made you decide to back my husband all of a sudden? He doesn't know how to run a company.""You're right. He lets each subsidiary find its own projects and business opportunities. He doesn't interfere in their day-to-day operations at all. "But that doesn't mean he's giving them free rein. Every year, the subsidiaries still have to remit some of their earnings to him. He plans to conduct regular internal audi
"I think you got too greedy for your own good. That's why people took advantage of you! You should just focus on your loved ones—your parents and your daughters. Everything else comes second!" Joseph saw right through Cora's act. After everything she had done to him, she was lucky he hadn't destroyed her. And now she expected him to help her? She couldn't be any more delusional. Cora was deeply frustrated, but she couldn't persuade Joseph to stay. All she could do was watch him leave, furious and helpless. Realizing that Helen still hadn't gotten out of bed, she went to knock on her door, only to find it locked. Once Helen was finally awake, Cora realized she had a mild fever and a bit of a cold, so she called the family doctor. Helen's condition wasn't serious. After taking some fever-reducing medicine and antiviral medicine, she went back to bed. Cora stayed at home with her daughters, only to realize she didn't have the patience to look after them. She left them with t
"Henry's gone too far! As long as he's alive, Jenton will never know peace! And Joseph's just making things harder by not helping me get rid of him!"Cora was at her wit's end. Once the Zahn representative showed up, she would have no choice but to sign the contract. The project was worth hundreds of millions, but once it was completed, the Zahns would take 90% of the profits. Cora could barely break even. She was practically working for them. And there was another problem too. She was also expected to take over Greenwood Group and Tidecrest Dynamics Group, the two major companies in Tidecrest. They might not be as big as Hart Group, but they were almost on the same level. How was Cora supposed to acquire those companies? Joseph was clearly trying to make things difficult for her.After Stacey lost her bet with Joseph, Greenwood Group and Tidecrest Dynamics Group had already started keeping their distance from her. They even wanted to cut ties with her.Stacey couldn't even fu
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
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
Joseph walked into the bar and found the owner, Anne Wells. One look at her long, dark curls made him start to doubt that what the hotel front desk had told him was fake.Sure enough, when he said he wanted to repay the room fee and deposit, Anne immediately refused. She denied ever driving him to
