บททั้งหมดของ A Man with Nerves of Steel: บทที่ 921 - บทที่ 930

Joseph stayed at the sanatorium for several days in a row. While taking care of Colin, he also kept probing the old man for information. Eventually, he obtained the intelligence he was after and pieced together most of the truth behind Grace's death.The Yeager and Summers families had two major cooperative projects that involved enormous profits. The Yeager family held the upper hand in both.When Grace told Colin and Mavis that she was pregnant, the Yeager family was naturally unhappy. Colin then informed Grace's family, and both sides were displeased with her, believing that she had brought shame upon their families.Both families demanded that Grace abort the child quietly, so the matter could be reduced to nothing before it became a major scandal. But Grace had other plans. She knew the child was Joseph's. Since Joseph had no children of his own, she wanted to give him a child.After obtaining confirmation from the hospital, she prepared to go to the airport and fly to Jenton

Joseph stared at the medical report, his hands trembling. He was clenching his teeth so hard it felt as though his molars might shatter. That was his woman and his child. They should have been happy with him.All he could do was shoot Mavis an accusatory glare. "Two lives! She treated you like her own mother, and you treated her like your own daughter. How could you be so ruthless? How did you become like this?"Mavis sighed. "I was in a difficult spot myself."Joseph scowled. "Don't give me that nonsense about family interests. How can your interests possibly outweigh two human lives? If a family can't even make room for a widow and her unborn child, does a family like that even deserve to exist?"She said, "Dr. Hart, don't get so worked up. Our situation isn't that different from what you're facing in Jenton. You couldn't accept a child who isn't yours either, could you?"You might be kind enough to accept it, but we're different. The circumstances we're living in force us to sa

Mavis wasn't particularly satisfied, but there wasn't much more she could demand. After sending Joseph away, she went to the sanatorium to speak with Colin about relinquishing his authority.Yasmin was brought along as well, but she wasn't allowed into the room for the conversation. She could only wait outside.Colin and Mavis talked for quite some time. In the end, they reached an agreement to relinquish some of the family's authority gradually.That evening, when Yasmin returned home, she found that Joseph wasn't there. She called him, but his phone was switched off. For some reason, she felt inexplicably sad. Even so, she waited until late into the night.When Joseph finally returned, she immediately went forward to help him take off his hat and gloves, then hang up his coat. She even brought him his slippers.Joseph was a little surprised and didn't know how to react. He had no idea how Yasmin had interacted with Zachary in the past, especially when it came to these little det

Edith suddenly realized that something was wrong. It seemed that what Joseph had told her hadn't been baseless after all.Sure enough, Mavis didn't give Edith a chance to speak. "Do your best to settle your marriage before the New Year. You're not getting any younger. You can't keep staying here forever. Your father and I are both old now. We want to see you get married and start a family before we die."This is not up for discussion. Don't bother trying to negotiate."Edith felt more pressure than she ever had before. "Is there really no way around it?"If even her parents wanted to marry her off, then she truly had no chance of staying at home anymore.She was forced to fight back. "Zachary said he'd give me a year to date freely. I'll definitely get married after that year."Mavis immediately said, "He knows nothing! He can't even manage his own marriage properly. If he had any sense of responsibility toward the family, he'd already have children running around his knees by no

Joseph said calmly, "I'm putting you on a plane and sending you to Jenton. You wanted to find them, didn't you? I'll send you straight to them. When you're in Jenton, choose between Joseph and Henry."Naturally, he was the one who had done something to her. Using his medical knowledge, he had disrupted Edith's nerves. All her limbs felt like they had been kept in one position for too long and went numb and tingly. Her limbs still looked perfectly fine, but she simply couldn't exert any strength.Edith panicked. "What are you trying to do? Zachary, why are you doing this to me?"Joseph narrowed his eyes. "I gave you a chance, but you didn't choose me. You weren't loyal to me. If you're not on my side, there's no reason for me to keep you around. And I'm not the one harming you. Mom and Dad are the ones who decided to marry you off."Edith shouted, "Zachary, I won't let you get away with this. Just you wait!"Edith tried everything she could to reason with him, but nothing worked.
