Chapter 591

Joseph never expected Lexi to get personally involved. She invited him into her car for a conversation.Joseph exclaimed, "A beautiful woman in a beautiful car! What's going on with me today? Every woman I run into is gorgeous. Is my lucky streak with women finally catching up with me?"Joseph got into the car and joked around shamelessly, making no attempt to hide the fact that he was openly checking out Lexi's chest and thighs.Joseph was seriously a pervert. That was Lexi's opinion of him. She replied, "You're quite the popular man. You're Yara's physician, and you're one of Cora's favored guests."Joseph was shocked. "That flattery is meant to kill me. If I actually believed you, I would probably be dead before long. I'm not the kind of guy who does anything without getting something out of it, and I don't believe in free handouts. So, if you want information from me, what are you offering me in return?"Joseph already knew a little about Lexi's personality. Women like her wer

Joseph happily pocketed the 50,000 dollars before leaving to buy Jenna food. When he came back in high spirits, Jenna was sitting there with a long face, looking like a kid who got scolded for no reason.Joseph was confused. "Did someone come by and piss you off?"Jenna didn't say a word. She just turned her back toward him, looking all sulky and miserable."Did I do something? Should I just leave?"Joseph really wasn't in the mood to waste time trying to comfort a woman right now, especially not Jenna, who knew him inside out."You can't go!"Jenna whipped around, staring him dead in the eye. "You got what you wanted. I should be congratulating you.""Stop talking in riddles. If you've got something to say, just say it."Joseph frowned, wondering if Jenna had somehow found out that he'd had a meal with Cora. But Jenna knew who he really was, so she shouldn't react like this just over a meal."You used me to look into the Zahn family. Now that you know about Skylar and Yara an

Chapter 593

Jenna asked, "So you also think of me as just another body you've been with?""Wow, you jumped to that conclusion pretty fast! So why don't you tell me what I should do instead?" Joseph remarked."What can I possibly say? Am I supposed to ask you to drop everything and leave Jenton with me right now so we can just shack up without a care in the world? Do I even have the right to ask that?"Joseph said with a chuckle, "Actually, you do. You could ask for a lot more.""But you wouldn't actually agree to it," Jenna cut in.She knew how stubborn and headstrong he was. Besides, this "Henry" persona he was wearing wasn't even the real him."Feels better now that you've gotten that off your chest, doesn't it? Don't carry all that negativity into your life and work."Joseph stubbed out his cigarette. "I'll deal with Yara. You just keep helping me keep my real identity under wraps."Jenna asked, "How are you going to deal with her? Are you going to have her killed?""She's still useful

Chapter 594

The rest of the night was uneventful.The next day, Jenna stayed and rested at home since the medical sect hadn't arranged for her to return to work yet.Joseph told Gemma he was going to tag along with the EMT crew on their calls as he wanted to steer clear of Skylar and Yara.During the day, they drove all around the city, dealing with all sorts of weirdos and absurd situations that weren't actual emergencies.There was a call from an overweight man panicking over hemorrhoids, and one from an entitled woman who nicked her finger with a knife.There was even a middle-aged woman who called them for help first before going to the apartment upstairs to start a fight in case she got shoved or worked herself into a heart palpitation.Then, at night, Joseph would shake off anyone tailing him and go to Beatrice for a massage. Sometimes, he'd even have her perform a specialized groin treatment.After a few days of this routine, Joseph showed up at the department office bright and early

Chapter 595

Kaya was immediately taken away by the Zahn family's people and brought to Emerald Mountain.Joseph didn't know what happened after that, but both Yara and Gemma told him things weren't looking good for Kaya.However, Joseph knew that as long as Kaya didn't spill the beans on who was pulling her strings, her life wouldn't be in danger. But of course, she was still going to be punished severely even if her life was spared.Joseph had just finished his work and was taking a sip of water when Cora called him, telling him to come down to the underground parking lot because she was already waiting there.What did she want?Joseph was free at the moment, so he headed straight down. When he saw a car flash its headlights twice, he walked over and noticed that it was Cora's new car.After making sure no one was around, he hopped in. Cora was just as stunning as ever.Joseph asked, "Ms. Lowell, you sounded pretty urgent. What's up?""I heard Skylar was poisoned. Is he dead yet?""Seems

Chapter 596

After Joseph parted ways with Cora, something occurred to him, and he gave Natalie a call.Natalie answered, sounding super annoyed. "If you've got something to say, spit it out.""Hold on. Aren't you supposed to be at school? What are you doing?" Joseph asked."It's all thanks to you! Because you wouldn't let me go see my dad, my mom found out, and now she's got me doing grunt work at the company, all under the excuse of getting me to 'learn the ropes.'"This is all your fault. You'd better make it up to me by letting me see my dad."He was surprised that Cora could still keep Natalie's temper in check. Joseph said, "You really ought to go see him. Someone poisoned him. He's in critical condition right now."Joseph heard something heavy hit the floor on Natalie's end. It sounded like a folder or something. That was followed by Natalie hissing in pain as she took a sharp breath. The thing must have dropped right on her foot or toes."Henry, what did you say happened to my dad? H

Chapter 597

Fiona was practically ready to explode upon seeing Joseph's smug face. She slammed her hand on the table and snapped, "Y-You're absolute scum!""You can always refuse. But what I've got in my hands is pretty important to Ms. Lowell. If you screw this up, it might put a real strain on your little sisterly boss-employee dynamic."Joseph spoke casually, clearly in no hurry."Fine. You win!"Fiona grabbed the bag and reluctantly went to change. When she noticed how perfectly the uniform fit, she was shocked that Joseph had even gotten her exact measurements and felt even more humiliated.When she saw how different she looked, a rather shameless idea crossed her mind. She wanted to humiliate Joseph by making him crawl between her legs.When she came back out, she caught Joseph snapping pictures of her. She tried to stop him, but it was no use."Don't worry, I won't spread them around. I just need to show them to Ms. Natalie Zahn. Otherwise, she won't believe we actually had dinner to

Chapter 598

Joseph scoffed. "What else did you expect? You think I'm like that lousy adoptive father of yours?"Natalie replied, "Don't bring him up. Just think of something and let me know when you do. The money's ready. If you want to earn it, show me what you've got!""Of course I want to!"With that, Joseph ended the call with Natalie. Honestly, he'd already figured it all out. He was going to use the same kind of poison Frank and the others had been exposed to.Only the medical sect had experience treating it. And with Jenna about to return to work, she would definitely be able to arrange for Natalie to be admitted to the Traditional Medicine Center and have him treat her.Later, while he and Gemma were treating Skylar, Joseph deliberately spent quite some time examining Skylar before finally saying that Skylar wouldn't wake up until the afternoon.He noticed Gemma's expression visibly relaxed. Clearly, the concern she instinctively felt for Skylar was something she couldn't completely

Chapter 599

Cora sized up Joseph and Yara, then fixed her eyes on Joseph. "Dr. Jebb, you really are one dedicated doctor, aren't you?""Ignore her. Let's just go eat!" Yara said, sounding clearly jealous and annoyed.Cora was just too gorgeous, and since Yara believed she couldn't compete, she was worried her "boyfriend" might be attracted to her."Sure thing, Yara!"Joseph didn't even bother greeting Cora and the others. He simply wheeled Yara straight toward their reserved private dining room.After a pleasant meal, Joseph took Yara back to the Traditional Medicine Center. Since Skylar still couldn't be taken off the ventilator to speak, Yara skipped the visit and just went straight back to her room to rest.Gemma pulled Joseph aside for another brainstorming session. Joseph would "just happen" to find some useful information, and with his hints, Gemma was able to piece together a viable treatment plan. By 10:00 pm, they successfully removed Skylar's breathing tube."It'll take about four

Chapter 600

Joseph wasn't afraid of Yara, nor did he feel sorry for Mona. As far as he was concerned, it was just two dogs fighting over a bone. Still, he couldn't shake the feeling that he knew Mona from somewhere, and he was curious about her real identity.He sent a coded message to Yelena, telling her to dig into Mona's background.A waft of expensive perfume hit him before a drop-dead gorgeous woman appeared in front of Joseph. It was Madeline."I know who you're here to see. Follow me."Without letting her waste time on pleasantries, Joseph led her straight to Skylar's room. He did a quick check on Skylar, saw that he was awake, and waved Madeline over."Skylar, how did you end up like this again? I've been so worried about you!"Madeline's eyes welled up with tears. She choked back silent sobs, and the heartbreak actually looked genuine.Joseph cut in, "Quit crying. Say what you need to say to Mr. Zahn, and make it quick. He can't talk, but he can hear you just fine."He stepped bac
