تسجيل الدخولThe news quickly made its way back to Mavis. She was shocked to learn that Edith had gone to Jenton and had even gotten involved with Joseph's wife. Her intention had been to have Edith get together with Joseph, not Henry.She summoned Zachary and confronted him. "How could you do something like that? How could you send Edith to Jenton alone? Now she's fallen into Cora's hands, and she'll also end up in Henry's hands. Aren't you just putting your sister in danger?"When he saw that only Yasmin was present and there was no one else around, Joseph lowered his voice. "My dear mother, I did what you wanted to do. Whether it's Joseph or Henry, either outcome meets the goal you and Dad wanted. You get the benefits, while I take on the role of the villain. "Edith will hate me for this, but I'm her big brother. When someone has to carry the burden and move forward, that responsibility falls on me."Yasmin's heart trembled.When had her husband suddenly become so enlightened? Not only did
Joseph said calmly, "I'm putting you on a plane and sending you to Jenton. You wanted to find them, didn't you? I'll send you straight to them. When you're in Jenton, choose between Joseph and Henry."Naturally, he was the one who had done something to her. Using his medical knowledge, he had disrupted Edith's nerves. All her limbs felt like they had been kept in one position for too long and went numb and tingly. Her limbs still looked perfectly fine, but she simply couldn't exert any strength.Edith panicked. "What are you trying to do? Zachary, why are you doing this to me?"Joseph narrowed his eyes. "I gave you a chance, but you didn't choose me. You weren't loyal to me. If you're not on my side, there's no reason for me to keep you around. And I'm not the one harming you. Mom and Dad are the ones who decided to marry you off."Edith shouted, "Zachary, I won't let you get away with this. Just you wait!"Edith tried everything she could to reason with him, but nothing worked.
"Edith, Joseph really isn't as bad as you think. But you probably won't have to worry about him. Joseph hasn't even divorced his wife. He won't want you. You should be more careful about Dad. He's the one who'll marry you off to that ugly bastard Henry!" Joseph chuckled and mocked himself.After all, Henry was another identity of his.Edith frowned. "Of course I don't want that Zahn fellow. He's just some hillbilly mutt from a backwater place!"Edith felt that the situation might not be as bad as she'd thought. As long as the man himself didn't like her, the marriage alliance wouldn't happen. Joseph ordered Edith, "Go bring Minerva to my car."She immediately said, "She'll kill me! And Walton won't let you off either. Zachary, you're about to take control of our family. Don't create unnecessary trouble for yourself."After failing to convince Joseph, Edith got out of the car. But before she left, she sent Minerva a message, warning her to be careful of Zachary.The warning aler
Edith suddenly realized that something was wrong. It seemed that what Joseph had told her hadn't been baseless after all.Sure enough, Mavis didn't give Edith a chance to speak. "Do your best to settle your marriage before the New Year. You're not getting any younger. You can't keep staying here forever. Your father and I are both old now. We want to see you get married and start a family before we die."This is not up for discussion. Don't bother trying to negotiate."Edith felt more pressure than she ever had before. "Is there really no way around it?"If even her parents wanted to marry her off, then she truly had no chance of staying at home anymore.She was forced to fight back. "Zachary said he'd give me a year to date freely. I'll definitely get married after that year."Mavis immediately said, "He knows nothing! He can't even manage his own marriage properly. If he had any sense of responsibility toward the family, he'd already have children running around his knees by no
Joseph was very confident in his ability to keep Yasmin under control. In a place like Croma, if a woman didn't have truly formidable skills of her own, it was difficult for her to hold up an entire family.This was paradise for men who played with power.Joseph went to see Edith. He didn't invite her out for a meal. Instead, he went straight to her company, sent away everyone around her, and got straight to the point.He said, "A decision has been made within the family. The old man and old lady have made up their minds. Are you going to support me, or our brother?"Edith was filled with disbelief. "Has there really been a decision? Mom and Dad didn't choose you? That doesn't make sense! How could our brother compete with you after he was sent overseas?"She couldn't help becoming suspicious. Then, she took another look at Zachary. He was clearly no longer the same hot-tempered, boorish man he used to be. The man standing before her was now incredibly calm, completely unfazed no
Mavis wasn't particularly satisfied, but there wasn't much more she could demand. After sending Joseph away, she went to the sanatorium to speak with Colin about relinquishing his authority.Yasmin was brought along as well, but she wasn't allowed into the room for the conversation. She could only wait outside.Colin and Mavis talked for quite some time. In the end, they reached an agreement to relinquish some of the family's authority gradually.That evening, when Yasmin returned home, she found that Joseph wasn't there. She called him, but his phone was switched off. For some reason, she felt inexplicably sad. Even so, she waited until late into the night.When Joseph finally returned, she immediately went forward to help him take off his hat and gloves, then hang up his coat. She even brought him his slippers.Joseph was a little surprised and didn't know how to react. He had no idea how Yasmin had interacted with Zachary in the past, especially when it came to these little det
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
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
