Chapter 338

Author: Lunar Flame
Since Joseph refused to go home, Cora was forced to leave.

Joseph was deeply disappointed in Cora. The peace he'd finally found had been disturbed once again.

The night passed peacefully, but he didn't sleep.

The next day, Joseph went over to Dolly's place to examine Belinda. He found that she had essentially made a full recovery. At the same time, however, he noticed something else.

Belinda's body was unusually sensitive. It appeared someone had repeatedly administered drugs that stimulated

    Yara thought she had hidden it well, but everything was within Joseph's calculations.When it came down to the crucial moment, however, she still found an excuse to stop before things went any further. Instead, she wanted to call Beth in.What a shameless woman. What her body showed and what she was thinking could be two completely different things. Cora was exactly the same. Were all women natural-born liars?Joseph understood that, given Yara's current state of mind, she might actually be more eager to give herself to the real Joseph rather than to Henry.He leaned against the headboard and asked Yara, "There's still something I can't figure out. Why would Joseph treat you? Has he forgiven you?"How could he possibly have forgiven her? He poisoned her, and now he wanted her to bear his children. But Yara couldn't tell Henry any of that.She replied, "Money. He needs money. Why do you think Cora was able to keep him under her thumb for so long? Why could she make him stay home a

    Cora didn't find out that Joseph had shown up at the sanatorium until the following afternoon. She was bringing Bernard a plate of fruit when she noticed that he actually had an appetite and seemed much more energetic than before.When she asked what had happened, Bernard told her that Joseph had come to treat him the previous night.Only then did she know that Joseph had also denied kidnapping Helen, which left Cora completely baffled. Joseph had actually shown up in front of Bernard to prove his innocence, and had even treated Bernard. But if Joseph hadn't taken Helen, then who had?They had gotten no ransom demands or any requests for anything else. There hadn't been the slightest clue. Of course, no news was also good news.From Bernard, Cora also learned that Joseph had recently been busy preparing for surgery. That immediately reminded her that Henry had mentioned Joseph working on a patellar transplant.She immediately called Henry and asked, "My husband is preparing for su

    At the brink of life and death, Yara unexpectedly found herself experiencing a strange rush of pleasure. At first, she pushed Joseph away with both hands. But gradually, those hands changed into caresses. When he finally loosened his grip, she wrapped her arms around Joseph's head and kissed him.Even her legs, having regained some of their strength, instinctively wrapped around him.But at the crucial moment, she forced herself to stay rational. She couldn't actually sleep with Henry, since she still wanted to negotiate with Joseph.As compensation for what she had put Henry through, she had no choice but to hand over another one of Skylar's private accounts, which had three hundred million dollars in it.At the same time, she urged Joseph to fight for greater influence within the medical sect and seize an even stronger position for himself.Joseph ignored her advice and ordered his forces to remain still, making no moves. Using Yara's money, he continued to build up his forces i

    After the treatment, Joseph left Yara in an incredibly compromising position. He hadn't bothered moving her, so she simply remained exposed like that and fell asleep.The next day, she had a nightmare that Cora discovered what she and Joseph were doing. Enraged, Cora tightened her grip around Yara's neck, squeezing until she could barely breathe. Just as she was on the verge of suffocating, Yara jolted awake.Yet reality was even more cruel. Henry was actually gripping her by the throat, making it difficult for her to breathe. She was already on the verge of suffocation.She stammered, "Henry, what are you doing?"Only then did Joseph release her. Yara immediately gulped down the fresh air greedily.Joseph deliberately feigned ignorance. "Yara, what have you done? You went behind my back and met up with another man? You cheated on me? I'll fucking kill you."Yara panicked. "I didn't! How could I possibly meet up with someone? Besides, I'm not that kind of woman. Otherwise, you wo

    Joseph sat by the bedside, occasionally reaching out to touch Yara. As he listened, he noticed no obvious fluctuations in her emotions. Her speech remained remarkably steady, which told him she wasn't lying.He reckoned there was a real chance of success. The Zahn siblings were both ruthless and calculating. More importantly, the Zahn family itself was far from united. The internal power struggles and shifting loyalties were incredibly complicated.Owen's extraordinary longevity had also consumed too much of the Zahn family's fortune and momentum. By monopolizing the family's resources for so long and refusing to relinquish power, he had squeezed the younger generation out of opportunities to grow.Joseph asked, "How did Cora and I become pawns in your game? Was Cora giving Skylar children also part of the fate you arranged for her?"Yara hesitated for a moment before he said, "You'll have to ask Skylar about that. If you join us, we'll definitely make it up to you. Just look at He

    Yara stared at Joseph in shock. "Why did you hit me? How am I supposed to explain this to Henry?"Her cheek burned with pain, and the sticky sensation in her mouth told her that her gums had been split. She didn't need a mirror to know there was a handprint on her face. Anyone with eyes could tell she'd been slapped."Can't I hit you?" Joseph asked in return. He didn't even bother coming up with an excuse.Yara replied, "You can. I'll just consider it something I owe you. I'll make sure to repay you."Yara met Joseph's gaze, only to find his gaze deep and icy. She was the first to back down. Joseph was in control of everything at the moment. She had no choice but to lower her head.Somewhere deep down, surrendering to Joseph even gave her a strange sense of relief and pleasure. A faint tendency toward masochism started to take root. Joseph sneered. "Repay me? Can you really repay me? How could you possibly make up for everything you and Cora did to me over the years?"Yara mu

    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

    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
