Natalie looked at the villa before her. It wasn't as grand as Cora's, but it was Joseph's. To him, it represented freedom and independence.Natalie had been waiting outside just moments ago. When she arrived, she happened to see Frost entering the villa. She looked at Joseph with a mixture of disappointment, anger, and jealousy.She asked, "Is she your new woman? She isn't as pretty as Cora, but she does look younger."Joseph raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong? You're grown up and getting married soon. Cora has plenty of men outside the marriage too. Are you saying that you people can do whatever you want while I'm not even allowed to light a candle?"I've watched you grow up, so let me give you some advice. Don't follow Cora's example. Anything you gain by using your looks and relationships with men will eventually be lost for the same reason."Joseph tidied up the tea set and took out some fresh tea leaves. He began brewing another pot. While he waited for the tea to steep, he pul

Cora left Jenton again. Not wanting to arouse Joseph's suspicions, she had him get the Provora project back for her. When he refused, she made an even more unreasonable demand. She wanted him to give her part of his shares in Hart Group so that she could become the company's largest shareholder.Joseph refused that as well. Cora cried and tried to make him feel sorry for her, but when that failed to win his sympathy, she gave him the cold shoulder for several days. She used that as an excuse to leave Jenton and visit Yara.Yara's condition had stabilized. The pregnancy had initially involved multiple babies, but it had been reduced to fraternal twins.Cora lied to Yara, telling the latter that the children were actually hers and Joseph's. However, Joseph couldn't be allowed to find out. Cora claimed that she would take the children away after they were born and pass them off as her own children with Joseph, using them to keep him from leaving her.Because of Cora's carefully worded

Mavis was shocked, but she quickly denied it. "Joseph, did you hear something from someone? Have you been led astray?"Joseph asked, "Was Grace really not pregnant?"Mavis answered, "I never heard her say anything about being pregnant. If I had known she was pregnant, I would have sent her to find you or invited you to Croma. If I had known, this tragedy might never have happened."Joseph pressed, "Is it possible that you just hadn't found out in time?"Mavis replied, "Joseph, I know your feelings for Grace were genuine. Because you care about her so deeply, you're also more vulnerable to being manipulated right now. You had someone investigate her death. You've been used."Joseph said, "Ever since Grace left, I've been having nightmares. I keep dreaming that she's telling me she died unjustly. Now, someone tells me she was pregnant. Could this be her way of reaching me, telling me that there's something I need to do?"Mavis sighed. "I understand why you miss her. I miss her too.

As it happened, perhaps that was just how the world worked. Frost still wanted to work with Joseph, but she couldn't think of a better bargaining chip. So, she started by investigating Grace's death.As luck would have it, someone from the Yale family worked at a women's and children's hospital in Croma. She wasn't Grace's attending physician, but she was part of the hospital's technical staff.She happened to come across Grace's ultrasound images. She recognized that the images didn't show signs of uterine cancer or any other similar condition. They indicated a pregnancy.Frost also discovered that after Grace's death, the hospital's staff underwent significant changes. The doctor who had examined her and confirmed her condition had already migrated overseas. Other employees connected to her case had also been given much better positions and opportunities.All of that pointed to someone buying their silence. Of course, none of this would have seemed suspicious if no one had consid

Joseph and Cora were no longer on the same page. Most of the things she asked him to do, he flatly refused, leaving her frustrated.Joseph said, "Cora, when the year-end wealth rankings come out, you'll still be the richest person in Jenton. None of this is going to affect your interests.""Honey, just how far have you gone in your partnership with Henry?" Cora asked directly.Being the richest person in Jenton sounded nice, and she had no intention of giving up that title. However, if she couldn't get past Henry and crush him beneath her, being the richest person wouldn't mean as much.Joseph replied, "You may not be better off knowing the answer. Cora, you need to be a little less perceptive sometimes. That's what I used to do. At least, you can pretend you're happy. Simple-minded happiness!"Cora complained, "Why do you keep bringing up the past? Don't you know how much I love you?"Cora kissed Joseph, cutting off his sharp tongue before he could say anything else that would h

After Thanksgiving, Joseph received invitations from several elders from the Croma faction. They asked him to bring Owen back to Croma again. However, he refused outright this time. He even arranged for Owen to come down with a minor illness.Whenever representatives from the Croma faction came over, wanting to meet Owen, Joseph turned them away. He would use Owen's condition as an excuse to have the representatives send over rare and expensive herbs. Joseph muttered, "They're definitely up to something. You don't go out of your way to shower someone with gifts unless you want something in return. You want to get the chip back and the data inside it so that you can uncover Owen's secret to longevity, don't you?"But Owen is an exception. Just because he managed to live this long, you think you can do the same? You're giving yourselves far too much credit."Joseph continued monitoring Owen for several days, but he didn't discover anything useful. However, Rhea told him something th

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

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
