Cora tried calling Joseph again, only to realize that he had already turned off his phone, leaving her speechless.But on second thought, whenever she went out for business dinners or traveled for work, she would turn off her phone too. Of course, she always had another phone turned on. "Oh my goodness! If I'd known he'd be away, I never would've kept this from him!" Cora sighed before heading to the Traditional Medicine Center to see Jenna. "It didn't take her long to track me down…" A flicker of panic crossed Jenna's face. Since she was now with Joseph, she couldn't help feeling nervous around Cora. The moment Cora brought up her daughters' health problems, Jenna's anxiety vanished. After all, none of them were Joseph's biological children. Joseph had already warned Jenna that Cora might come to consult her, so she was already prepared. The so-called curse was actually a form of poison that altered certain sections of the Zahns' DNA. It was a genetic defect that prevented th

Joseph returned to Emerald Mountain after switching back to Henry's account. Right after he arrived, his subordinate reported the latest developments, and they were beyond his expectations.The Howes, or the agents they had hired, had scattered something across the estate using a drone. After a quick analysis, they determined that it was the second portion of the toxin that was used to speed up the curse.In fact, someone had dropped a smoke bomb in Zahn Group, filling the building with thick smoke all of a sudden. The sampling inspection later revealed that it was also a catalyst to speed up the curse.Perhaps there were other moves aimed at activating the curse within the Zahns. They would then be punished for breaching the promise, displaying hereditary defects and dying during mid-life.The Snows' lesson showed that once a hereditary condition had developed, the descendants of that family would be tormented by that disease until the entire family was wiped out.A vengeful hear

Joseph refused to compromise and instructed Dean to provoke the Howes. They exposed insider information about one of the Howes' projects to shake up their stocks as payback for the Howes' previous attempt to acquire the Summers family.This caused the Howes great distress, and they wanted to get back at the Summers family. However, they couldn't get rid of them because the Zahn family from Jenton backed the Summerses.As a result of the Summers family's actions, the Howes lost the project they wanted to secure during New Year's. Instead, it fell into the lap of a third party.Another influential national figure called for a meeting between the Yeagers and the Howes, even asking for talks between the Howes and the Summers family. None of the talks achieved a mutual outcome because Joseph had no intention of making peace.After February, Joseph orchestrated intermarriages between the younger generations of the Yeager and the Summers family through some young ladies from the Zahn fa

Joseph hadn't met Cora for days. Since New Year's, she had been texting him, complimenting Natalie. He found it odd and decided to visit Natalie at her place.Natalie could walk, but it seemed that she was in the adjustment period and still needed the wheelchair most of the time. Despite that, she stood up and beamed pleasantly at Joseph, saying, "Dad, take a seat. I'll get you a drink."The last time Joseph had heard her call him "Dad" was about two years ago. Yet, it felt like ages ago; so distant.However, he couldn't sense any familial affection from Natalie. After all, it hurt him that Natalie had insisted that Skylar was her father all this time.On the other hand, he couldn't resent her because Natalie was not in control of her own destiny. She was merely a brat.When Natalie noticed Joseph was silent and didn't verbally provoke her, she saw it as a chance to get into his good books. "Dad, what's keeping you busy recently?"Joseph would never tell her what he was doing

Joseph still wasn't aware that Cora had already arranged for them to have children through IVF. He assumed that if he went home, she expected him to put everything she had done to him behind them.Of course, Joseph refused to go home. Whatever he was doing now was far more worthwhile than going home. Joseph didn't give Cora a definite answer, but she wasn't worried. Instead, she talked about Natalie going back to school and realized he wasn't opposed to the idea at all. He clearly wanted what was best for her too.Joseph had raised Natalie for over ten years. He couldn't just stop loving her like that, especially since he was such a kind-hearted man. Skylar and Yara really deserved to suffer for what they had done. Deep down, Cora was furious. She was already thinking about how to get back at them. She had no intention of letting things end so easily. As they talked, Cora moved closer, wanting another round. Since she still had the energy for it, she was just as willing to gi
