Indeed, Joseph had gone over to the Traditional Medicine Center as himself and treated Brooke. It was just a fever and a cold, so it wasn't exactly serious. She had simply pushed herself too hard in her studies, which was why Joseph came to see her. After treating Brooke, Joseph had someone arrange for a car to take Rosalie back to Kingsley Estate. He came up with the excuse that he had other patients to treat, so he couldn't go with her. Joseph simply didn't want to drag Rosalie and Brooke into this mess. Keeping them out of it would be for the best.The next day, Natalie came to Zahn Group. The moment she saw Joseph, she started crying and said, "Uncle Henry, you have to make this right for me!"Natalie began complaining about everything Cora and Joseph had done. Cora had deliberately stopped Skylar from making a comeback just to cover up her affair with him, and she even tried to prevent Natalie from making a name for herself. All in all, Natalie painted Cora as a completely

Joseph thought it over before starting a video call with Cora. She answered almost immediately, her face appearing on the screen in his office. Joseph was as relaxed as ever, practicing his swing with a golf club in front of a large floor-to-ceiling window. He said, "Ms. Lowell, your eldest daughter just came to me again. She said you've disowned her, and that you're going after her. "She's very unhappy with what you've done. In that case, I'm not going to hold back this time. I'll make her an official member of the Zahn family and include her in our family records. Are you sure you're okay with that?"Cora shot back. "Henry, don't go too far! Natalie's a Hart. She's the daughter of my husband and me. She's just being a little rebellious now, but I know she'll come around and accept my husband again. "I know he'll accept her too. All that measly money and perks you're giving her? I can give her just as much. You don't have to worry about her.""Measly? I'm giving her a chance

Joseph also received a message from Cora asking to meet with him, but he didn't respond. The marriage alliance wasn't something he had made up. A mythical-tier family did send him an invitation, proposing a mutual marriage alliance.They suggested both families bring their young men and women together and see if they could hit it off. Their daughters would marry the other family's sons, and their sons would marry the other family's daughters. The elders could even arrange the marriages themselves. Joseph wasn't a fan of the arrangement, but he knew if he looked at it from the family's perspective, it was bound to happen.Would Joseph actually marry Natalie off? He would. In the past, probably not. But now Natalie didn't want anything to do with him. She refused to acknowledge him as her father and practically wanted him dead. In that case, Joseph didn't want to see Natalie around anymore. He might as well marry her off and be done with it. Of course, he knew that Cora would

Cora sighed. "That's exactly what I'm worried about too. I just don't know how to bring it up with him, even though he may already know."She was going to be pregnant with Joseph's child as well. Sooner or later, a son would certainly be born. If they arranged a marriage alliance now, it could end up hurting her daughters in the future.But this was the only way she could think of to stop Henry from setting his sights on Natalie.She said, "Let Natalie choose for herself. If she can't decide who to marry, then draw lots. Either way, we have to settle the marriage alliance."The next day, Joseph received a call from Jenna and went to the Traditional Medicine Center. There, he found Natalie claiming to be sick and insisting on being hospitalized over what was clearly a minor illness.Joseph said, "Do you really think being sick means you don't have to get married?"Natalie protested, "I'm sick, and you still want me to get married?"Joseph scoffed. "For children of major families,

When Cora and Joseph finally met, it was like two lovers reunited after a long separation. Cora complained, "Honey, you knew I was looking for you. Why did you keep refusing to see me?"She clearly harbored some resentment. In her eyes, the ideal situation would have been for Joseph to come home. Then she could simply summon him whenever she needed something.Joseph said, "What do you have that's so important to require my involvement? If there's something you can't handle, what use would I be? All I want is some peace and quiet. I just drink tea every day, read a few books, and do nothing else. There's nothing left for me to pursue in life."Cora replied, "You still have me. Don't think like that. Come home."He shook his head. "I'm not going back. The children are grown and have their own opinions now. They won't listen to me anymore, and I don't have the right nor desire to force them to. Cora, stop pretending you don't understand."Cora climbed onto Joseph and settled hersel

Natalie said, "That's going to disappoint you, then! You should worry about yourself, Hart. Have you ever stopped to think about how you've lived these past two decades? You're the truly pathetic one."Joseph scoffed. "The past two decades? I lived them the same way you did. Actually, now that I'm no longer burdened by you people, I'm completely free. These have been the happiest days I've had in the past two decades. I bet you never expected me to say that. Sometimes a blessing is hidden in a disaster."She snorted in disdain. "You're just putting on an act. You hide away every day like some rat that can't stand the light."Natalie looked at Joseph with a mocking expression.Joseph sneered. "Yes, yes. You're right. I'm just a rat. But I think I'm pretty damn free. What about you? Are you free? Cora won't even let you leave, so you can't go anywhere you want. When you go to the hospital, if Henry doesn't let you see that bastard you call your father, then you can't see him."Even

Joseph had a pretty good idea what Cora and Natalie would talk about. Just as he said, the two of them were cut from the same cloth. The path Cora had taken was one Natalie would eventually take as well. Only she would travel it much faster, because Natalie was even more determined to succeed.At this point, she had no choice but to succeed. Otherwise, she would always feel inferior to Joseph.Unfortunately, she had no idea that Henry, who currently had her completely under his thumb, was actually Joseph himself. After falling out with Cora, her finances were placed under her mother's control. And when Henry ordered her to go on a blind date, even her bank account with the Zahns was restricted. She couldn't even leave her home freely. Either Cora's people followed her, or Henry's people blocked her way.She had absolutely no freedom.When the day Joseph mentioned finally arrived, Natalie was brought before Henry.The moment she saw the photograph of that fat man, Simon Summers,

The husband and wife looked at each other, wiping the cold sweat from their foreheads. The fact that Joseph really believed them felt somewhat surreal.They immediately tried contacting Gemma, but no one answered. But just as they were packing their things, Gemma called them back.They immediately complained. They had been staying at a hotel, yet someone had actually broken into their room without permission. They no longer felt safe at all and wanted to return to Croma immediately.Gemma simply promised to have someone pick them up and move them to somewhere safer. Then, she arranged for an early flight for the two of them tomorrow morning.The couple hadn't even gotten the chance to mention Simon before Gemma hung up. When they met her, they complained about Joseph, but Gemma didn't seem particularly interested. Henry had given her instructions to make no promises and not to get involved. So for the moment, she brushed them off.The next day, the husband and wife returned to Cro

Failing to reach an agreement, Cora left Joseph with them on bad terms.She left Joseph a message, asking him to come out and take care of Henry and resolve the crisis she was facing. However, Joseph ignored her. After all, there was no way he would kill himself.That evening, she received a report from her subordinates. The people she had placed in both the Traditional Medicine Center and Jenton University Hospital had been transferred away from their positions by Henry under various pretexts. They were being sent to hospitals in remote townships.Meanwhile, some of the people she had recruited inside the Zahn Group had been injured and hospitalized. Those people were terrified of being subjected to excessive treatment, so they all wanted her to arrange for them to receive treatment in other cities.Cora cursed to herself, "That bastard Henry has finally shown his fangs. He's a mad dog who knows no friends. He'll bite anyone!"Cora could feel that Henry had taken even greater con

Chapter 870

Facing the outside world, the Croma faction never stood as just one family or two. Instead, families would band together in numbers, joining forces whenever they faced an external threat.That night, several old people sat together over tea, finally putting the matter of how to deal with Jenton on the table.Mavis was there as well. As always, she was only interested in Joseph. She demanded that the others not harm him. Afterward, she told Joseph that the Croma faction was preparing to make a move on Jenton, and invited Joseph to come to Croma to lie low for a while.But Joseph refused, claiming all he wanted now was some peace and quiet.Then, Joseph said to Mavis, "The Zahn medical sect is preparing to send Owen to Croma for an examination."Mavis was surprised. "Owen is actually willing to show himself, and he even dares to come to Croma?"Joseph said, "The Zahn family used to make waves in Jenton. Now they're making even bigger ones. They're about to step into the light, so O
