Chapter 71

مؤلف: Lunar Flame
Fiona didn't tell Joseph who gifted Cora the fish. Instead, she asked Joseph to ask Cora himself. Naturally, Joseph had no intention of doing that. He knew Cora would never tell the truth.

Still, Joseph had his wits about him. He tried hard to recall the details. The fish had been delivered two years ago, and at the time, Cora had even redesigned the courtyard just to build a pond for the fish.

Joseph said to himself, "So they really did mean something special to her."

Joseph suspected the p

  • A Man with Nerves of Steel   Chapter 117

    The next day, Cora headed to Lowell Group. After a meeting, she was informed that Joseph had gone to visit her parents. She muttered, "What is Joe up to now?"Cora was suspicious. Since Joseph had looked for Marla and the latter had run away, he had gained nothing. There was no way he would just let it go. She was worried that he might do something impulsive to her parents."Mom, Joe didn't cause any trouble, did he?" Cora asked."Didn't I tell you already? Kim caught a cold. Joseph came over to treat her," answered Helen."I see! If anything else happens, let me know," said Cora before ending the call. She felt a pang of guilt.The day before, Cora received a call from Kimberly's teacher. The teacher mentioned that Kimberly was sneezing and had a runny nose. The teacher also advised Cora to pay more attention to Kimberly.Normally, Joseph would have handled such matters effortlessly, so Cora hadn't thought much of it. However, since he was in a bad mood recently, she had left Ki

    "Joseph, Mom said you got hit by a car. Are you alright?" Natalie asked upon rushing into the house. Panic was written all over her face."Of course, I'm fine. If I were injured, I would already be in the hospital," replied Joseph. He felt a little touched even though Natalie refused to address him as her father anymore."Are you really alright?" Natalie questioned. She looked Joseph over carefully from head to toe. It was only after confirming that he wasn't injured that she finally relaxed.Then, Natalie complained, "You went all the way to question Marla, got yourself hit by a car, and still learned nothing. That's pretty useless.""Nat, how could you say that? If you aren't going to speak properly, go back to school! Your grades have already been slipping enough as it is," Cora scolded upon hearing what Natalie had said."I'll go back to school then!" Natalie shouted before walking out and pointing at Fiona, ordering the latter to send her to school.When they arrived at the

    Joseph saw that Cora had arrived. She asked with concern, "I heard you were in a car accident. Are you hurt?""I'm a doctor. I would know if something was wrong. I'm fine, so don't worry," replied Joseph.Joseph studied Cora. If he had told her about Marla from the beginning, Marla couldn't have gotten far if Cora did something.At the same time, there was another possibility. Cora might cover everything up, erasing every trace of her affair and making sure that Joseph would never discover who the biological father was. Currently, he didn't trust her at all. "What are you doing here then?" Cora asked, seeing that Joseph was fine. Since Fiona had already told her that the accident wasn't serious, she believed that he was fine."Marla knows who Natalie's biological father is, so I came to question her. Unfortunately, she had no intention of telling me. And she ran away," answered Joseph after thinking for a moment."Marla?" Cora repeated the name. She searched her memory for any c

    Joseph went to Jenton Girls' School and called Natalie to come out. After showing her a picture of Marla, he finally got the confirmation he was looking for."Natalie, Marla works for the Lowell family. It can be said that she works for your mother. In that case, your mother is quite impressive," stated Joseph."So, you're saying that my mother knows who my biological father is. And she has known it all along," said Natalie.She paused before looking at him with sympathy and adding, "Joseph, you're kind of pitiful. You've been deceived by my mother this whole time."The corner of Joseph's mouth twitched as he felt complicated. He couldn't even argue with Natalie. So, he had her repeat every detail of her conversation with Marla that day. After confirming there were no mistakes, he headed for Jenton Tourism immediately.When Joseph arrived, he pushed the door open and walked in. Inside the spacious and luxurious office sat Marla.The moment she saw him, she was shocked. She was pa

    After dropping Natalie off at the girls' school, Fiona immediately went to report to Cora."Fiona, do you think Joseph and Natalie could make anything out of this?" Cora didn't want Natalie involved, but Joseph didn't see it that way. In fact, Natalie had entered a rebellious state. She would appear to comply, but act otherwise."This could be a great way to build her character. It'll be very beneficial for her development." Fiona could still tell that Cora's future successor would be Natalie. Even though there were several promising youths in the family, none of them was as bright as her. Suddenly, Fiona received word that Joseph had already left the Crest District. In a few minutes, she would know whether he was on his way home."Joe's on his way home?" Cora was a little surprised.Not long after Cora dismissed Fiona, Joseph arrived home. He handed his old clothes to the housekeeper before joining Cora for dinner. They even opened two bottles of fine wine. Cora and Joseph d

    "That's nonsense! My biological father's an impressive man. That's why Mom chose to have me. Of course, she knows how brilliant he is! You're the only one who doesn't get it? You're an idiot!"Natalie refused to back down and snapped back at Joseph. She even went after his sore spots just to make fun of him."You really are better than me!" Joseph's heart ached. He had raised Natalie for over a decade, only for her to turn out to be ungrateful and defiant. All of his efforts had been for nothing.On the surface, Joseph remained calm. Deep down, he knew acting rashly wouldn't solve the problem. If anything, he was going to strike back at Cora and her lover.Natalie was trying to get a rise out of Joseph, but he didn't take the bait. He remained unnervingly calm, and her jabs seemed to bounce right off him."I've made no progress here. Tell me what you got," Joseph said. "You're so useless and incompetent. Of course, you didn't find anything. Someone approached me at school and to
