INICIAR SESIÓN"I'm your sister. How could you do this to me? You're so cruel." Edith couldn't even resist. She broke down in tears, utterly heartbroken. "I'm doing this for your own good! Don't be so ungrateful!"Joseph dismissed Edith. He didn't feel sorry for her, and he wasn't about to let her have her way. He was willing to set himself aside if necessary when the stakes were high, let alone sacrifice someone else. While Joseph handled the Yeagers' affairs, he also made moves against the Howes. Now that they had fallen out, it was time to strike first. Whoever made the first move would have the upper hand. Based on his understanding of unconventional treatment, Joseph knew that combining two intensely fragrant substances didn't necessarily just result in an even stronger scent. Sometimes, it could have the opposite effect, producing something completely revolting. Joseph had his men spray a specially formulated perfume blend in places the Howes often spent time. After being exposed to bo
Once Joseph got home, it didn't take long for the elders to come see him. The moment they started advising him to leave Croma or apologize to the Howes, he immediately lost it. He had his men scare them into backing off. If they weren't so old, he would have beaten them himself. Joseph felt intimidating the elders wasn't enough, so he took his men straight to the Yeagers' main residence. But the moment he showed up, Colin and Mavis immediately tried to put him in his place. Colin stepped forward, ready to slap Joseph, but the moment Joseph caught him by the wrist, he called him an ungrateful son. "Dad, what's the meaning of this?" Joseph narrowed his eyes at Colin. "I'm not your father.""Really? That does make things easier! You're old now, so step aside and let me take over!"Joseph had his men outside come in and seize Colin before injecting him with a sedative, saying, "You're way too worked up. I think you should stay at the sanatorium for now and focus on recovery."
Lester Howe scowled, clearly not thinking much of Zachary, who was really Joseph. Instead, he snapped, "Get lost!"He even tried to summon his family members and bodyguards to throw Joseph out of the room.But Joseph didn't give him a chance. His men pulled out several specially made devices that resembled flashbangs and high-powered tear gas canisters, terrifying everyone there. Lester was extremely displeased and fixed Joseph with a cold stare. "Zachary, do you have any idea what you're doing?""I'm here to get justice for my wife! I'm going to make the people who laid their hands on her pay for it! "Lester Howe, I've already been pretty nice about this. You might be old, but that doesn't mean you can act like you're above everyone else and refuse to see reason!" Joseph had already figured out that a middle-aged couple had slapped Yasmin. It was the woman who slapped her first. When Yasmin tried to fight back, the woman's husband stepped in to protect her. He had shoved her
By the time Joseph reached Croma, Cora had already tracked down his new home in Jenton and found the note he'd left inside.He wished her an early Happy New Year and even prepared gifts for her. As expected, he was planning to spend the New Year up on the mountain."Unbelievable! I let it slide last New Year when you were being difficult and refused to come home. But now that we've talked everything out, you're still staying away? That's too much!"Cora was thoroughly pissed. She sent her people out to look for Joseph, and she also went to find Henry, intending to ask him to look for Joseph too.But she was told Henry was busy and unavailable.A strange thought suddenly crossed her mind. Could Henry have left Jenton too and gone to Croma?"Henry is going to Croma. Could Joseph have followed him there too? That damn Henry—does he think my husband is his hired muscle and bodyguard? Should I go to Croma too?"Damn it! If my money weren't sitting in your hands, I'd tip off the Howe
"I'm just asking you to tell Joseph I want to see him. I need to talk to him about my parents' condition. Do you really have to degrade me like this?" Edith asked, clearly upset."Just leave Joseph a message. He'll see it eventually. But if he doesn't show himself, that means he doesn't want to see you. As for your parents, they're simply getting old."Joseph isn't a god. He can't make your parents live forever. Don't act like he's some miracle worker. He's just a little better than the doctors in Croma."Actually, the key to treating your parents is right there in you. Go donate your blood plasma.""That's exactly what I want to talk to him about. I want him to shoot down this whole blood plasma idea! He has put me in an impossible position. If I donate, I'm screwed, and if I don't, then I'll be painted as heartless.""I honestly don't understand what you're agonizing over. You're that old woman's daughter. Giving her your plasma should be the most natural thing in the world."T
Joseph had the Yeager family elders return to Emerald Mountain. This time, the Yeager family elders and Owen talked about a lot of things, especially the Zahn family's move to get into Croma.The Yeager family had zero interest in being the Zahn family's informant. They even advised the Zahns not to bite off more than they could chew. If they pushed their luck, they could end up offending the entire Croma faction.Since Henry was there, Owen knew he couldn't really call the shots, so he casually brushed the matter aside and left it to Henry.After the Yeager family left, Owen wanted to have a word with Henry about how they couldn't risk being cursed. But he suddenly started feeling sleepy and turned in early.Owen's sudden sleepiness was Joseph's way of shutting him up. They had already taken the first step toward entering Croma, so there was no turning back now.All they could do was fight an economic war against the Howe family and the others. The Zahn family had only two choice
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
