Chapter 69

Lunar Flame
Cora called Joseph out to talk. The study reeked so badly of cigarette smoke that she couldn't stand it. She suspected that Joseph did it on purpose.

"The hospital? A nobody like me can't handle anything. Isn't Walt being a little overdramatic for calling you over this?" Joseph walked out of the study and then lit a cigarette. After that, he sat down and crossed his legs.

Acting like a big-shot again…

Cora knew Joseph was just putting on an act. If she really got angry with him, she'd be fall

  • A Man with Nerves of Steel   Chapter 488

    "I'm going to kill you!" Yara immediately reached for the fruit on the bedside table and hurled it at Joseph. "See if you can dodge this!"Seeing Joseph dodge the fruit, Yara threw another at him. And another until she had run out of fruit. When she heard Joseph say that getting worked up like that could lead to an amputation sooner than expected, she finally stopped. Earlier, Joseph had already caught one of the bananas. He peeled it, took a bite, and said, "Look at you. I'm telling you the truth, yet you don't want to hear it. "But if I didn't say anything, you'd never know. Now that you know about it, at least you're aware of what's going on. The choice is yours."Yara let out a soft scoff, but she had no way to refute Joseph.He even said, "Actually, there's another person who may be able to save Mr. Zahn. I'm talking about Joseph Hart, the guy who defeated Jenna in a medical duel."If you approach him, he might have a way. Two months ago, he treated a patient at Jenton

  • A Man with Nerves of Steel   Chapter 487

    When they arrived at the emergency room, Joseph wasn't even qualified to enter. Reuben was present, and the old man merely said that unauthorized personnel were not allowed inside, then refused Joseph entry.There was nothing Jenna could do about it. Even if she tried her best, looking at Edmund's rapidly deteriorating vital signs, she wasn't confident at all.Outside, Yara arrived only to be stopped at the doors of the emergency room as well. After waiting a few minutes, she ordered Joseph to return to her room because she had questions to ask.Joseph spoke first. "Your brother's bodyguard just warned me not to get close to you or say anything inappropriate. Please don't make things difficult for me.""Do you think you can leave if I don't let you?" Yara replied.She told Joseph to step outside, but deliberately didn't order the bodyguards at the door to let him go. When Joseph returned to the room, she looked rather pleased with herself. Her lips were curled up into a teasing sm

    "You're so negative! While you're here, don't cause any trouble that I can't handle," Jenna said helplessly.Joseph left the office and stepped into the elevator, only to find Reuben inside. The old man looked displeased and immediately told Joseph to get out. Joseph naturally ignored him and politely asked, "Sir, I don't believe there's any grudge between us, nor have I ever offended you. Why are you so hostile toward me?"Reuben sneered. "You filthy nobody, you think you're worthy of my hostility? I'm telling you to get out for your own good. If I were truly targeting you, you'd disappear from Jenton before you knew it. You'd regret ever being born into this world. Who do you think you are?"Joseph sighed. "Fine, you're powerful. I can't afford to offend you, but I can certainly avoid you."Joseph stepped out and let Reuben go down first. Keeping a low profile and enduring the humiliation was still his priority for now. Even so, he had already added the old man to his blacklist

    Cora definitely remembered that part of what Joseph said. So why hadn't Cora done what he asked and confessed to her affair?Joseph found Cora unbearably hypocritical. He had already identified the biological father of her daughters, yet she still refused to admit to cheating or agree to a divorce. What kind of nonsense was that?He was sitting right in front of her, and she still couldn't recognize him. How was she supposed to find him then? Joseph slowly rotated his cup.Jenna took out her phone and opened the medical forum. "Normally, I'd call him. But if I can't reach him, I leave him a message here. If he sees it, he'll reply or contact me. But he hasn't reached out to me these past few days. I suspect he's gone off to join some monastery and doesn't even go online anymore."Cora asked, "Other than this forum, is there any other way to contact him?"She had long since arranged for people to monitor Joseph's account activity on the forum.Jenna shrugged. "No. By the way, wh

    Yara stared at Joseph's injured finger and asked, "What are you talking about? Who from my family did that?"Joseph shook his head. "I would rather not say."Yara narrowed her eyes. "Tell me. Otherwise, I'll have someone break it again."Joseph said reluctantly, "It was your brother, Skylar."Yara raised an eyebrow. "Skylar? Why would he do that to you?"Joseph replied, "Didn't I tell you already? He didn't like me telling you that your leg may have to be amputated. He also blamed me for taking your money.""That was just a warning not to be greedy and overcharge people. I'll speak to him. As long as you behave yourself from now on, we won't hurt you again." Yara naturally sided with Skylar. Someone like Joseph wasn't even worth a second glance in her eyes.She had Joseph continue explaining her medical reports. Hearing that her condition was continuing to deteriorate and that amputation was drawing ever closer only made her increasingly restless and irritable.She brought Jose

    Joseph cursed, "That watchdog's bite packs quite a punch!"He went looking for Jenna and asked her to help set his fractured finger.Jenna merely assisted when there were things Joseph couldn't do himself. Before long, the injury had been treated and immobilized in a cast.Jenna scolded, "You should've listened when I told you not to provoke Yara. Now you've been taught a lesson.""I was careless," Joseph admitted. As they walked back to the office, they spotted the bodyguard waiting by the elevator lobby.However, with Jenna and some others present, the bodyguard didn't dare make a move. Still, the murderous look in his eyes as he stared at Joseph was like that of a hunting dog watching its prey, ready to tear him apart at any moment.Joseph cursed inwardly, making a mental note that he would see if the bodyguard would survive what's coming if the bodyguard kept holding a grudge.Skylar and his people had forced this conflict into the open. Either they would die, or he would.

    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 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
