A Man with Nerves of Steel Chapter 428
"A misunderstanding? Perhaps! After all, I never saw you sleep with Jonas or catch you two in bed together."But for someone like you, even if I showed you the evidence, would you admit it? Never! Jonas confessed that he slept with you, and he even used dirty tricks to drive me out of the hospital. That's why he deserved to die."As Joseph watched Cora leave, his thoughts started churning. For a moment, he was overcome with misery.Joseph then remembered the daughters he raised weren't even his, and Cora had betrayed him for almost 20 years. Still, she didn't show any remorse, refused to admit anything, and wouldn't apologize. Instead, she kept trying to walk all over him, and that truly set him off. Joseph had already neglected his career for almost two decades and was already past his prime. He no longer had the luxury of time to rebuild his career, one step at a time. If someone looked down on him and tried to push him around, he would drag them down to his level."You have

Cora shot back, "It was you. What is there to find out? Answer me, did Jonas' death have anything to do with you?""You tell me." Joseph met her gaze calmly, as though she were beneath his notice. If Cora wanted to turn this into a fight, he would oblige. He might not be able to handle all her bodyguards by himself, but his allies wouldn't stand by and watch. They would come for him, and they would retaliate against the Lowells.He was no longer the man he had once been. "You're nothing but a thug!" Cora was convinced that Joseph was involved. He had every reason to hate Jonas. He believed she had been involved with Jonas, and Jonas had played a part in costing Joseph his position at the hospital. So, Joseph had a motive.Yet his composure only made her more uneasy. It suggested that even if she investigated, she would never uncover how he had done it. And even if she somehow did, Joseph likely already had a way to clear his name. Also, Cora still didn't know who was helping h

"I'm next?" Cora's expression changed instantly.The Lowell and Towne families had worked closely together for years. As for her and Jonas, they had done far more together.Now that Jonas was dead, perhaps it really was her turn.Fixing Belinda with a hard stare, she asked, "Don't tell me you're already planning to get rid of me as your next move."Belinda sighed. "Don't mistake my goodwill for malice. If I were you, I'd deal with the mess in front of me and leave Jenton for a while. Take a vacation, then come back after things settle down."Cora replied, "Settle down? You mean after the Lowell family has lost everything? This is my territory. If I leave and let others run wild, do you think they'll leave anything behind for me? That's the worst advice I've ever heard."Belinda sighed. "I figured you wouldn't listen. I'm done trying to persuade you. If you want answers, go ask Shirley yourself."With that, Belinda took her leave.After waiting for a while, Cora saw Shirley walk

Jonas pressed the call button beside his bed. He had hired another caretaker as well, never fully intending to trust Shirley to look after him.But there was no response. It seemed like the call button was broken.He reached for his phone, only to realize that Shirley had taken that too.Since Shirley refused to move and there was no one else around, he had no choice but to struggle to the bathroom himself. By the time he returned to bed, he felt considerably better.He said coldly, "I know you want to take my money and run off with Joseph. Dream on. I'm not dead yet."Shirley's expression darkened. "So that's how little our marriage means to you? We've been husband and wife all these years, and you're willing to treat me as if you've never felt any affection for me."Jonas sneered. "So you do know that we're husband and wife. Yet, you're already planning to fool around with Joseph. What does that make me? I'm refusing to give you my money for your own good. If you stay faithful

Joseph said, "Cora, it's disgusting how you're still trying to cover things up."Joseph had the paternity test results in his hands. No matter what Cora said or did, she couldn't refute that. Everything else was just denial.She had cheated on him and was still trying to deny it. Her character was just rotten to the core.Joseph told Cora to leave before turning back toward the main building.Cora called after him, but he never looked back. For a moment, she was tempted to summon her people, force open the gates, and drag him home if necessary.Joseph might hate being dragged back, but at least he'd still be home.But she knew that Joseph would definitely fight back.Lately, she had begun to fear his methods. The fact that he dared to do something to the girls meant he would certainly dare to do something to her or her parents.He might not take their lives, but he might make them sick and leave them bedridden for a month or two, unable to do anything. By the time they recovere

"How can you not have any? You should have more. Stop being so stingy." Lexi pouted.Joseph shook his head. "I don't have any!""If you won't give me any, I'll just take it by force." Lexi was immediately displeased. Joseph had rejected her advances, and now he was refusing her something as trivial as a few doses of anesthetic. How was she supposed to keep a man like this under control in the future?Joseph repeated himself. "I said I don't have any."Lexi replied, "If you don't have any, make more. If you can make one, you can make as many as you need. It's not like you're busy right now. Just go make some."Joseph said calmly, "That takes money. If you would like a custom order, I can make it. But it will cost you. Ten million dollars per dose. Give me seven million dollars upfront, and the remaining three million upon delivery."Lexi frowned. "That's highway robbery!" Naturally, she had no intention of giving Joseph money. Giving Joseph money would mean Joseph could gain pow

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
