LOGINWhen Joseph returned, he told Yara that Cora suspected him of abducting Helen, to see how she would respond. To his surprise, she refused to believe it. "Joseph would never abduct his mother-in-law. Never! If it wasn't one of the Lowells, I'm guessing one of their enemies was behind it. "It could've been the Snows or even the Goulds," Yara said. She was actually sticking up for Joseph.Joseph shot back. "You trust Joseph? What reason do you have to trust him?""I… I don't know. It's just a gut feeling. I just know something fishy's going on. Cora abducted Tessa. Then her own mom got taken away too. "And now Henry's been beaten up? It feels like they're going after each other. Don't you think it's too much of a coincidence?"Think about it. Is Joseph even capable of something like that?" Yara studied Joseph's expression carefully. Seeing how unhappy he was when she brought him up, she stroked his chest and leaned into his embrace. Joseph was surprised by her take on things. A
Joseph said, "It's hard for Yara to get around now. I don't think she has the guts to see you either. "So we can't give you what you're asking her for. Besides, what if she goes after your family?""Let her try! She may be a Zahn, but she's a nobody in that family. Even if I kill her now, they won't even care!"Cora flashed Joseph a smile and said, "I've already reached out to Owen through a third party. He has agreed that I can handle Skylar and Yara as I see fit. Even if I kill them, he won't say a thing."At first, Joseph was surprised by what Cora told him, but he remembered how wealthy she had become, especially with the Provora project. Even though she had moved from Lowell Group to Hart Group, her stake in that project hadn't changed at all.Cora was still the richest person in Jenton. That meant she had the power to negotiate with Owen. The Provora project was a gold mine. Between Owen and Cora, whoever secured it would gain an advantage over the other.Since Cora had
"Cora abducted them? Why would she even do that? It's not like she actually needs the money. "And now she wants money? Does that even make sense?" Joseph was puzzled. He couldn't figure out what Cora was up to.Yara said, "She did this. That's exactly her style! She desperately needs money now! She already split from the Lowells, so she's starting from scratch."She needs a lot of capital for that. And this is one way she can get back at Skylar.""If it has something to do with Skylar, then it all makes perfect sense. He and Cora are always fighting and making up."But Cora and Tessa? They're rivals. Tessa has given him eight children, both boys and girls, so they have a better chance of taking over his businesses. "But Cora has only given him three children. Of course, she can't compete with them. This is between your brother and them. Let them sort it out themselves."Joseph was holding back for now. Since Yara and Skylar were eager to get it resolved, he could afford to tak
Joseph let out a laugh. "Rich people really can do whatever they want, huh? In that case, I'll take you up on that!"Joseph flipped the photo over and saw a phone number on it. It was probably the superstar's personal number. He said, "Yara's recovering well now. She wants me to give her money back…""Well, that's easy to fix!"Cora cut in. "You can invest in my new company, Hart Group. These are founder's shares, so as the company grows, your returns will keep increasing. "Once the money's with me, Yara won't be able to get her hands on it. Also, I can make sure she stays dependent on you. For example, I could actually have both her legs amputated.""Let me think about it!" Naturally, Joseph would never invest his money into Cora's company. Even though it carried his last name, everyone working there was loyal to her. If he put his money into it, he would never get a single cent back.Besides, Joseph was spending money to recruit people, build up his own network, and have h
Joseph left.The next day, he deliberately didn't bring up why he had fallen asleep last night. Sure enough, Yara didn't mention his visit, and she was still willing to be intimate with him. She let him touch her however he wanted and allowed herself to enjoy the moment as well. However, she no longer tried to go all the way with him. Deep down, she would rather make a deal with Joseph, who wanted her to give herself to him and have his children. That way, she could get her hands on the antidote. Whenever Joseph wanted more, she suggested having Beth come in and take her place, but he turned down her offer. Joseph went off to the hospital. Not long after, he received word from his informants and Beth that Yara had left the villa to see Skylar's two sets of twins at Sunnybrook Estates. After that, Yara made her way to two other places, both belonging to Skylar's mistresses and children. She gave them some money and reminded them not to go to the hospital and see him. At noo
"Who am I working for? Joseph, what do you mean? I'm all yours!" Fiona exclaimed. Joseph replied, "Cora has quite a few spies around her, and I've helped her uncover many of them. But I know there are a few more. "And now you've got me wondering. Are you working for Cora? Or the Zahns? Or some other family?""Without Cora's help, I wouldn't be where I am today. I've always been really grateful to her, so I'll do whatever she asks of me. "Joseph, you've given me a second chance at life and made me feel like myself again. I'm yours now, so I'll do whatever you ask. I don't work for the Zahns or any other family."Fiona quickly declared her loyalty to him. She looked at him pleadingly, hoping he would take her as his own woman. Now that she was ill, she knew Henry wouldn't bother her anymore. In fact, he was the one who helped her realize that she had fallen in love with Joseph.Back then, Fiona would never even think of Joseph that way. But now that she had cancer, and with Co
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
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
