A Man with Nerves of Steel Chapter 799
As night fell, Helen heard the doorbell ring. When she opened the door, she found Joseph standing outside."Joseph, you're here!" she said, quickly ushering him inside.Noticing him glance around the house, she immediately explained, "Cora isn't here. I'm living alone now."Joseph looked her over. She was dressed casually in light, comfortable clothes, and her complexion had improved considerably. It was clear she had been keeping up with her skincare and beauty treatments."You're living here by yourself?" Joseph asked. "What if something happens to you? You should move back in with Cora.""I can take care of myself," Helen replied. "And even if I moved in with her, I wouldn't be much help. I'd probably just get in her way."She smiled at him. "But if you have time, you should come visit me more often." Joseph had no intention of doing that. He was planning to divorce Cora. Once the divorce was finalized, there would be little reason for him to maintain a relationship wi

Logan turned to Joseph with a smug smile."Henry, you're still young. You don't understand how the real world works, so take this as a lesson you need to learn."He paused, clearly enjoying the moment. "From now on, EverShield Corporation belongs to me. We'll take care of the transfer paperwork later.""No problem." Joseph smiled, deliberately putting on a look of disappointment and reluctance. "I can afford to take the loss."Rhea, however, couldn't bear the humiliation. Too embarrassed to stay any longer, she left without waiting for Joseph and went home alone. By the end of the evaluation, Logan had emerged as the clear winner. Joseph took a closer look at the people Logan had recruited and quickly figured out where they had come from. Logan had brought in—and likely poached—talent from a martial arts academy in the Heartland Region. He had clearly spent a considerable amount of money assembling this team. Logan was serious about winning. Joseph quietly studied the

"I'll remember this, you bastard!"Humiliated, Lyle stormed away. He left Jenton immediately with his entire entourage, not daring to linger for another minute. He even requested a police escort, desperate to get out of the city as quickly as possible. Before long, he was back at the government reception office, where he locked himself in his room. He had barely settled in when his phone rang. It was Winona. The moment he answered, his anger exploded. "You bitch! You've got some nerve calling me. Where the hell are you? Get your ass over here right now!"Winona fired back with a string of curses of her own before getting straight to the point. "Good. Since you're already there, get the money back from Cora. She has plenty of it.""Me? You seriously think she's going to give it to me?" Lyle snapped."And you think she'd give it back to me?" Winona shot back. "If I can't get the money from her, then you go ask for it.""You're the one who gave her the money! You're respo

Lyle had looked through Henry's file beforehand and had already decided the man was ugly.Seeing him in person only confirmed it. Somehow, Henry looked even worse in real life.Lyle couldn't understand what Winona could possibly see in him, especially when Lyle himself was tall, broad-shouldered, and in excellent shape. He'd spent years working out, partly to maintain his physique and partly because he knew exactly how much women appreciated a well-built man.In his mind, there was no comparison.Lyle looked Joseph up and down before demanding, "Henry, where are you hiding my wife?"Joseph suppressed the rage rising inside him. More than anything, he wanted to have Lyle dragged away and tortured slowly, making him pay for everything he'd done. But he forced himself to remain calm.Lyle now had an official position and the protection that came with it. If Joseph made a move against him, it wouldn't be long before the authorities came knocking.So Joseph kept his expression neut

Cora couldn't stop Winona from leaving. All she could do was stand there and watch helplessly as Winona walked out of the building.She immediately sent Joseph a message, but he still didn't respond.At least she had managed to provoke Lyle. There was no doubt he would come to Jenton now, and when he did, he was bound to cross paths with either her husband or Henry.That was exactly what Cora wanted. Ideally, Lyle and Henry would clash first. Once they had worn each other down, Joseph could step in and finish them both.Let the two of them fight while she sat back and collected the spoils.If everything went according to plan, she would be the one left standing.Still, Joseph's silence made her uneasy. She checked her phone again, but there was still no response.Even so, she trusted that Joseph would make his move. He had to. Just as her thoughts began to spiral, her mother, Helen, pushed open the door and walked in. Cora knew exactly why she was there, so she spoke bef

Cora shook her head. "You're still ridiculously overconfident. You think you can control everything, but the truth is, you don't have that kind of power. "Winona, listen to me. Go back. Apologize to your husband, Lyle Dixon. Show Daniel Dixon a little goodwill, too. Maybe then they'll forgive you."She leaned back and studied Winona with a cold smile. "What do you have without the Dixon family? You're a smart woman. You should know better. You could have been the legitimate daughter-in-law of the prestigious Dixon family, but instead, you chose to become the mistress of a live-in son-in-law from the Zahn family."You're throwing your own dignity away, too." Winona's face darkened. "And what gives you the right to lecture me? After everything you did in the past—""You said it yourself. The past." Cora cut her off. "What does any of that have to do with who I am now?"You told my husband about it, didn't you? And what happened? Did he believe you? No."Cora's smile widened.

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
