Joseph said, "Look at you. You're already exhausted from just this much movement. If we actually did it, you'd be even more exhausted. I can't bring myself to put you through that."Joseph had only teased and stimulated Yara a little, yet it was enough to leave her completely drained. Her physical condition was still poor. After all, recovery from a serious illness took time.Of course, another reason was that Joseph simply didn't want to sleep with her. He wanted to slowly torment her, making her pay for what she had done to him in the past.Yara asked, "What are you going to do, then?"Joseph smiled. "Don't worry about me. I'll be fine after a while."Joseph was still a man, after all, and he didn't deliberately suppress his physical reaction. But in the end, he restrained himself and didn't give in. "When I'm better, I'll make it up to you. You'll be thoroughly pleased." Yara felt deeply apologetic. She was a woman, yet she couldn't satisfy the man she loved. Of course, the f

Joseph had already sent everyone involved in the operation away or made sure they disguised themselves before carrying out their missions. As long as no one was injured and they didn't leave behind hair, blood, or other evidence, there was no way to trace anything back to them.So, even though Cora had begun searching for Joseph with everything she had, she still couldn't find him. To make matters worse for her, some of the Lowell family members were secretly feeding him information.When he saw her message, he could only sigh helplessly. It further convinced him that her success over the years had depended heavily on the men around her.Now, any man who stepped forward to help Cora was just another one of her lovers. If they had enjoyed themselves while they were with her, Joseph would make sure they suffered just as much when he came after them.Joseph refused to treat anyone connected to Cora. So, Bruce and Charlie both became critically ill within just two days. They hadn't die

At Cora's home, Bernard was getting ready to head out when Cora asked, "Dad, where are you going this late at night?"He replied that he was going to meet an old friend before heading out. What kind of old friend needed him to bring this many people? It wasn't long before Cora received word that nearly all of his men had been mobilized. He was traveling with more than a dozen cars. It was quite an operation.Cora didn't find out where Bernard was headed until he had already entered the gates of Celestial Farm. She immediately frowned. She had no idea why he went there.The fact that he had kept this from her and had even lied about it left her uneasy. Around midnight, she received another update. His men had left the farm, but somewhere along the way, they drove over tire spikes. Most of the cars ended up with punctured tires.She immediately called him and pressed him for an explanation. Only then did he tell her about his phone call with Joseph and how the latter had lured him to

That night, after Yara had fallen asleep, Joseph prepared to leave. However, Beth stopped him at the door."Mr. Jebb, Ms. Zahn told me not to let you leave. I…" Beth muttered."I have something important to take care of. Don't tell Yara. Just like what happened between us, don't tell anyone else either," instructed Joseph.Joseph stepped closer, and Beth stood her ground instead of backing away. Joseph said, "If I'm doing well, you'll be fine too. In the end, everyone benefits. Do you understand?""I understand. How long will you be gone? I'm worried Ms. Zahn might wake up," replied Beth. She reached out to touch Joseph, wanting to satisfy her craving first."I'm just going out for a late-night meal with a friend. I'll be back soon. I'll make sure I'm here by the time she wakes up. Don't worry," responded Joseph.Joseph was finally able to leave. He quickly slipped out of the hospital and headed two streets away. He entered an unassuming house where Shane was being held. He gave

Joseph returned to the department, but he couldn't resist finding out what was happening with Natalie, Selena, and Kimberly in Skylar's ward. He asked a doctor he trusted and learned that Skylar was still unconscious and hadn't woken up.Cora was keeping her daughters in there, putting on that touching act just to provoke Joseph. Joseph mumbled, "They're having their happy family reunion. I'm jealous, but I don't need to rush out and retaliate against you right now. After all, Skylar is already suffering under my revenge."The happier you are now, the more painful it'll be when I settle the score. Cora, you'll pay for cheating on me and lying to me."Joseph calmed himself down. Soon, he saw Harry and several other representatives from the medical sect arrive. They examined Shane and tried various methods to wake him, but nothing worked.After a discussion, Harry and the others concluded that Shane had suffered brain death caused by alcohol poisoning.Joseph thought, "What a bunch
