Chapter 463

Author: Lunar Flame
Joseph had no idea about Cora's ambitions, or rather, how determined she was.

Now that Jenton was in turmoil, Cora had a real chance to rise to the top if she were ambitious enough. If she could absorb the Zahn family's businesses and build on the foundation of the Lowell, Banks, and York families, she could truly become the dominant force in Jenton.

By the time Joseph woke up, it was already afternoon. He grabbed a bite with Katie before heading back to the company to rest.

Come evening, he

    Things couldn't have worked out better. No one would suspect Joseph, and that meant he was safe. The longer he remained as Henry Jebb, the longer he could stay hidden. As long as Joseph didn't show up, they would only grow more desperate when they needed him. Otherwise, they could only hope they had the luck to make it out alive. Once the designated driver arrived, he drove Joseph, Jenna, and Gemma back to Jenna's house. After helping them upstairs, Joseph was completely worn out and decided to stay the night. Initially, he had placed both women on their beds while he took the couch. But when he woke up the next morning, he found himself lying on the carpet, with Jenna and Gemma on either side of him. Both women had rested their heads on his arms, leaving him unable to move. He had somehow ended up wedged between both of them. Joseph had woken up primarily because he needed to pee, and he was at a point where he couldn't hold it in much longer. Not wanting to suffer an emba

    Joseph had never been to a nightclub like that, so he was completely out of his element. But Gemma was different. Not only did she know her way around, but she was also very good at it. During the drinking games, whether it was rolling dice or playing rock-paper-scissors, she won effortlessly, while Joseph and Jenna got crushed. If Gemma hadn't been worried about them getting too drunk and leaving her without anyone to drink with, she wouldn't have held back at all. Even so, she never would have guessed that Joseph was only pretending to be drunk. He slumped onto a couch nearby and lay there motionless, refusing to move no matter how they tried to pull him up. Gemma and Jenna sang songs and had a blast. They had no idea that Joseph had tampered with their drinks. They became thirsty after singing for so long, so they finished off the remaining drinks without a second thought, falling right into Joseph's trap. After paying the bill, he had a waiter help support Gemma, whil

    "Alright then. I'll get Henry to brainstorm with me too."Once Gemma found Joseph, she dragged him to Skylar's room and said, "Look at the state he's in. How should we treat him?""I can't help. I'm not good enough." Joseph hurriedly refused, especially with Yara present. The last time he had abducted Yara, he had treated her as well. If he demonstrated those techniques in front of her again, she might recognize him."You were able to save Charlie's children. I'm giving you a chance to save this guy too." Gemma pushed Joseph toward Skylar so he could examine him. Those words did make Yara look at Joseph differently, but she didn't actually suspect that he was Joseph in disguise. She figured that if Gemma trusted him, Joseph probably had the skills to back it up. Yara said, "Henry, if you can bring my brother's fever down, I'll pay you handsomely." "Of course, I like money, but I'm not sure I have what it takes to help you," Joseph replied, deliberately looking tempted, as th

    Naturally, Cora wasn't intimidated by Jenna's threat. She said, "Jenna, I know you've been upset ever since you lost to my husband in your contest over who the better doctor was, but there's nothing you can do about it. "In the end, he manipulated you into taking his side. Do you actually believe all his slander about me?"At that, Joseph reflected inwardly that Cora certainly knew how to spin a story. What a pity, he thought, for everything she had just said was complete nonsense. Besides, he had the facts and evidence to prove it. Jenna replied, "I don't believe everything he said, but of course, I'm just as skeptical of what you're telling me now. "I understand that you're worried about the patients, but you can't just walk in here and tell us how to do our jobs." With that, Jenna gestured for Cora to leave her office. "Jenna, do you know why you lost to my husband? Because you're arrogant and stubborn! And you have poor taste too!"You're so gorgeous, yet you choose to

    "Get out!" Gemma threw Joseph out of the room. Outside, Joseph heard Gemma saying, "Don't tell me you told him everything about the Zahns. Do you really think you two have a future together? If the family doesn't approve of your relationship, you'll never be able to marry him.""I know what I'm doing. But what about you, Gemma? Look at the state Skylar's in, and now you're worried about him? Don't tell me you suddenly realized you're in love with him.""I don't really know either."Joseph didn't listen any longer. Judging from Gemma's tone at the end, it sounded like she was starting to feel sympathetic toward him.A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes. He was determined to get back at Skylar, but Gemma wanted to save him. That put them at odds with each other."Let's see how good your medical skills really are…" A competitive glint appeared in his eyes. Joseph wandered around before heading to the nurses' station to slack off.Soon, Jenna came looking for him. She took him to

    After examining Charlie and his family, the results started coming in.Joseph took some forms to get the family members' signatures. Seeing Cora there, he asked, "Are you a family member of the patients?""I'm not, but if you need me to sign anything, I can do it," Cora replied."Oh? You?" Joseph feigned confusion as he studied her. "What are you staring at? Go save the patients!" Cora exclaimed anxiously. She didn't recognize the man in front of her as Joseph and simply assumed he was up to no good. That wretched woman… Joseph played dumb, took the forms back, and handed them to Jenna. She saw that he hadn't found anyone to sign them, but she didn't blame him and arranged for another doctor to handle it. Once the key results came back, they could basically confirm that Charlie's family had been exposed to the same toxin that affected Frank's family. The toxin had affected their brain's nervous systems, leaving Charlie's family in a coma. Jenna and the other doctors studie

    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
