Masuk"You make it sound like I know everything. I'm not some all-knowing genius. If I actually knew the answer, I would have told you a long time ago," said Jenna."You're a member of the Zahn family, and I suspect one of the Zahn family's members is behind all this. Do you really think you would tell me? If you didn't owe me, you wouldn't have even brought me into contact with anyone in the Zahn family," replied Joseph."If you don't trust me, keep not trusting me. You're biting the hand that feeds you," snapped Jenna. Feeling insulted that Joseph looked down on her, she turned and headed back to her room. She couldn't betray the Zahn family by revealing its secrets to an outsider like him.Just then, someone knocked on the door. Joseph immediately slipped into the guest room. Jenna went to open the door. To her surprise, it was Marla.Looking at Jenna anxiously, Marla dropped to her knees at the door and pleaded, "Please save my husband. I'm already on my knees. I'm begging you."Jen
Had Joseph really disappeared? Cora missed him, but no matter how many messages she sent, he never replied. His phone was unreachable, and he wasn't returning to his place. It was as if he had vanished without a trace.Still, he had told her before that she could go to Jenna or the Zahn family to find him. However, doing so would expose his whereabouts and put both him and Jenna in danger.It was Joseph's test for Cora. She hoped he would eventually uncover her children's biological father. Once he did, the misunderstanding between them would finally be cleared up, and he would return to the life he used to have.She firmly believed her children were his. As for the affairs she had carried on behind his back, he would never find any videos or evidence. Someone of her status would never leave behind anything that could be used against her.If necessary, she would deny every accusation. Then, she would appeal to the feelings they once had. As long as he still loved her, she believed
"Was the last time we made love really the last? Joseph, you're so cruel," muttered Cora.Cora saw that she still had an appointment with Shirley. She knew that if she refused to meet Shirley, the latter would only keep coming back.The moment Shirley entered, she questioned, "Cora, where did you hide Joseph? Hand him over right now, or I'm not letting this go!"Shirley hadn't been able to reach Joseph for days. He was neither at the laboratory nor the clinic. Katie had told Shirley that he had gone out of the city to treat patients, but Shirley didn't believe a word of it. Shirley was convinced that Cora had hidden him away.Cora snorted. "Jonas' ashes aren't even cold yet, and you're already this desperate for a man? You're disgusting. If you're that lonely, find other men. Stay away from mine. I hope this is the last time you ever say such a thing to me. Otherwise, I'll have you thrown out of Jenton."Shirley refused to back down. "I'll come here every day and say it. Go ahead
After returning to Jenna's place, Joseph refused to let the matter drop. He kept pressing her for more information about the Zahn family.She accidentally let something slip. The Zahn family maintained both family and sect records. When she didn't want to talk anymore, he tackled her, pinned her arms, and started tickling the soles of her feet.Jenna burst into uncontrollable laughter. Feeling utterly humiliated, she finally surrendered. She showed Joseph the family records she had secretly taken pictures of."Joseph, you're shameless!" Jenna shouted.Once Joseph released Jenna, she raised her hand to slap him across the face. However, the moment he shot her a warning look, her hand froze in midair. In the end, she lowered it unwillingly."If you would just cooperate, none of this would have happened. You behave honorably, I'll behave honorably," stated Joseph.He had to be shameless. At such extraordinary times, extraordinary measures were necessary.Jenna was at a loss for wor
"Come to the hospital when you have time. I'll conduct a full examination and check the condition of your bones and blood vessels. Only then can I give you a proper diagnosis," said Jenna."Could it be a long-term effect from having my blood drawn when I was a child?" Yara asked."I can't rule it out, but I don't think it's very likely. You're probably just exhausted. You should take some time off and rest," answered Jenna."I can't rest. Joseph has caused trouble. I've been running around putting out fires ever since he started digging holes for me," responded Yara through gritted teeth. At the thought of Joseph, she had the urge to kill him."Joseph? He has that much influence? What did he do?" Jenna was surprised. She couldn't help thinking that the conflict between Joseph and Yara was far more complicated than she had realized.Yara sneered. "While Joseph was treating Yelena's and Peyton's families, he had them go after my company. They wrecked my laboratories and warehouses.
Joseph didn't make his move right away. Instead, Joseph prescribed some medicine to Luke and poured Luke a glass of water. Since a female caregiver was assigned to look after Luke, Joseph stepped outside.Joseph went to the restroom and looked around. From the clothes hanging out to dry, it was obvious that every house was occupied. In fact, on the drive up the mountain, he had seen people outside nearly every home he passed.The houses had been built along the mountainside, wrapping around the mountain in a long chain. They were all connected by a single road.Owen lived even farther in. Security was especially tight at the moment. People were stationed at every intersection. Some looked like elderly women casually chatting in the sun, while others were the Zahn family's bodyguards.As a stranger, Joseph couldn't wander around freely. When he returned after washing his hands, he happened to catch Luke reaching over to grope the caregiver's backside. To his surprise, the caregiver
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
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
