All Chapters of A Man with Nerves of Steel: Chapter 551 - Chapter 560

Before Fiona and the others arrived, Joseph climbed back into bed and resumed playing the helpless patient.Fiona set a tablet displaying a calculator in front of him. "Dr. Jebb, what do you think of this amount? Are you satisfied?"Joseph stared at the string of zeros, realizing they were offering him a cool one million. He scoffed. "I guess she really lives up to her title as Jenton's richest woman. Whenever there's a problem, her first instinct is to throw money at it. Do you really believe money can solve everything?"Fiona didn't bother arguing. After all, why try to fix a problem any other way when money did the trick so easily?Joseph's bitter complaints made Fiona believe they were inching closer to a settlement. Then, Joseph suddenly asked, "I wonder how much she'd be willing to pay her husband, Joseph."The moment she heard the name "Joseph", Fiona felt a chill run down her spine. That man was someone she both loved and hated, but above all, he was someone you didn't

Joseph contacted a media outlet, claiming to have a major breaking story involving Jenton's richest woman. He wanted to use it to test Cora's reaction.Sure enough, by noon, the outlet suddenly canceled on him.Joseph's informant, who had been waiting outside the outlet's office, saw Cora's people arrive. It was obvious what had happened—the outlet had been either threatened or bought off. Next, even though Joseph already knew Natalie had been released on bail, he called the police to follow up anyway. The police subsequently contacted Cora, urging her to reach a private settlement as soon as possible. Otherwise, the case file would be transferred to the prosecutors. If that happened, Natalie would be remanded into custody, and the matter would go to court. At 3:00 pm, the Croma faction suddenly flexed its influence in Jenton. The police arrived at Cora's home and summoned Natalie back to the station. Cora, who was at company headquarters, immediately panicked. She dispatched

When Joseph returned to the hospital, Jenna and Gemma immediately pulled him into the office.Jenna breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Joseph had returned safely. In truth, she hadn't been all that worried; Cora simply had no way of dealing with him. Even if Joseph were pushed into a corner, all he had to do was reveal his true identity, and the crisis would disappear. To him, this was all just a game. He was pulling the strings, while Jenna, Cora, and everyone else were merely pawns on his chessboard. She both loved and hated this side of him.When Gemma learned that Joseph hadn't taken the opportunity to demand a massive payout, she was confused. "You could've made over a million just now. Why did you turn it down?"Joseph replied, "I didn't dare to take it. Before she left, she actually threatened to castrate me tonight."Gemma gasped. "Castrate you? Why?"Jenna immediately realized what had happened. Joseph must have used the opportunity to make some outrageous de

Gemma couldn't help but laugh at Joseph's pitiful and foolish demeanor. Wiping a tear from her eye, she teased, "You're a grown man, yet a few words are enough to break your heart. Look at you crying. You sure are sensitive."Joseph wiped his eyes. "I'm genuinely heartbroken here, and instead of comforting me, you're laughing. I'm such a failure." If they hadn't been in the office, he might have actually started sobbing. It was hard to articulate just how much he had suffered these past few days. People always said that real men shed no tears, but that was only because they'd never experienced true heartbreak. "You poor baby. You're so miserable. Fine, I won't tease you anymore. Come here, let me give you a hug. Be a good boy and stop crying." Taking the opportunity, Gemma pulled Joseph into her arms, comforting his wounded soul with an affectionate embrace.After a moment, however, she suddenly tightened her arms around him, her breathing quickening. Something felt off. Biting

Joseph didn't receive a photo from Cora, but he had a feeling she would send one eventually. After all, she hadn't flat-out refused him. She hadn't warned him off or threatened him, either. Soon after, Jenna returned. She poured herself a glass of water before asking Joseph, "What happened?"Joseph didn't beat around the bush. "A friend of mine happened to be at that upscale couple's restaurant today. He saw someone who looked exactly like you on a date with another man. That's why I asked you to come back."Jenna lost her composure for a split second. "You had me followed?"But she quickly relaxed, shaking her head with a wry smile. "Once bitten, twice shy. You really are cautious, Joseph. But if you don't trust me, what's the point of staying here?""Honestly, I don't care if you go on a date," Joseph replied coolly. "But you told me you were having lunch with senior members of the medical sect, only to go eat with Harold—the Zahn family man you've been paired up with. You lied
