MasukAfter Joseph worked Mary over, she was in such agony that her face was completely contorted, and she looked like she was at her breaking point.In the end, she cracked. The person who had sent her was Lara Rahn.And the Lara Rahn she was talking about was none other than the Yara Zahn Joseph had been searching for.She also spilled that Yara was back in Jenton and gave up three potential places where Yara might be hiding out.As for why Yara wanted the blood, Mary had no idea. She was just getting paid to do the job."Don't go easy on her. Make sure she spends the next two months in a hospital bed. If anything happens to the children, I'll make her pay with her life!"Still seething, Cora told Joseph not to let Mary recover or go free. Once he was done with her, Mary should be sent straight to Jenton University Hospital.Cora made sure this never got out so no one would know Mary had been captured. She then sent people to the locations Mary gave to hunt Yara down, but they came
Joseph received a call from Yelena and returned to Joseph Hart Clinic. Lexi and her family had already learned what had happened to Jonathan and rushed him over.At the moment, Jonathan's entire body was twisting in violent spasms. It was as though he were being shocked by electricity.After examining Jonathan, Joseph administered medication to calm Jonathan's nervous system and ease the spasms. Then, Joseph invited Lexi and the others into his office.Joseph said, "Jonathan has been poisoned with a neurotoxin. My clinic doesn't have the equipment to identify what it is. You should take him to a hospital in a major city for a full checkup."Lexi asked, "Even you can't treat him?""My clinic just isn't equipped for this. Don't waste any time. Contact a hospital immediately and fly him there," replied Joseph.Lexi immediately began making arrangements. Jonathan would have a checkup at a major hospital in Jenton. If the cause still couldn't be determined, he would be transferred to
Joseph thought, "Mary is someone I despise, yet Cora hired Mary? So, Cora is pretending to agree with me while doing the opposite."Joseph studied Mary for a moment but didn't greet her. Instead, he turned his attention to Natalie, who had just woken up.Natalie remained silent. She knew that Joseph had deliberately done something to her body, leaving her groggy every day. Her health was now entirely in his hands, making it impossible for her to feel at ease."Dad, what are you doing here?" Selena asked, greeting Joseph first. She knew why he had intentionally made them sick, but she was willing to cooperate.Of the three children, only Kimberly was still too young to understand the situation. She was still fast asleep.Joseph answered, "I came to check on you. I was worried Cora might get clever and start bringing in random doctors."Joseph walked over to Selena first, feeling her pulse before examining her arm. There were no signs that blood had been drawn.It was strange. Aft
What Lexi never imagined was that Joseph was no longer the man he used to be. He wasn't someone easy to push around anymore.She would never have dreamed that instead of sitting back, he would make the first move and deliver an enormous surprise to her.After Cora had come to see Joseph the night before, he had already grown dissatisfied with Lexi and her family. Although he hadn't personally dealt with everyone in the group, Yelena and Peyton did as he said. They targeted the Zahn family.Now that Lexi had interfered in Joseph's relationship with Cora and had even set her sights on him, he had no choice but to set things straight.Earlier that day, Joseph had already hinted to Cindy that it was time to make a move against Lexi. He also had a few people working for him. That night, they took down Lexi's older brother, Jonathan Browns.Jonathan had taken several of his men to spend the evening in the Croma faction's territory. He brought a woman from another state back to his villa
Joseph and Lexi failed to reach an agreement, but neither of them let the conversation end on bad terms. They remained harmonious throughout.After saying goodbye to Yelena, Joseph headed to the Snow family's house in the suburbs to treat Richard.Yelena and Lexi saw Joseph off before getting into the same car. Lexi asked, "Joseph really doesn't listen to anyone. He's so stubborn. How did you even get to know him?"Yelena answered, "A while back, Joseph went to a monastery intending to become a monk. The abbot didn't accept him as a disciple, but he did let him stay there. I happened to visit the monastery to pray for my grandmother, and the abbot introduced us. Later, Joseph cured my grandmother."You've only just met him. Spend more time with him, and you'll realize he's genuinely a good man. He's someone you can trust."Glancing sideways at Lexi, Yelena added, "I think I understand what you're trying to do. You're planning to win him over with your charm, aren't you?"Unfortun
Hearing those words and seeing Joseph's cold attitude, Cora sensed real danger. Even so, she refused to back down. She questioned, "Do you think you can actually do that?"Joseph chuckled. "I can't."Then, he continued, "Your mother told me more than once that no matter how hard I studied for ten years, I would never be able to imagine what generations of the Lowell family have built. "You're the richest person in Jenton, while I'm just a doctor with nothing to my name. Going up against your family would be like an ant trying to topple a tree."He gestured toward the door and added, "You're far above someone like me. My little place is too humble to accommodate someone of your status."Cora insisted, "You need to come with me. Come to the Traditional Medicine Center and visit Natalie and the others."Joseph replied, "There's no need. Their condition is stable. Going with you? You're alone. Do you think you have what it takes to make me go willingly?"He pulled out a bottle of p
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
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
