    Joseph didn't tell Cora about any of it. In fact, he didn't even want to speak to her anymore. So, he asked her to leave.Reluctant as she was, Cora knew staying would change nothing, so she left.Joseph rested for the night. He woke up before dawn and did some exercises before he started reading.Belinda arrived at his office before sunrise. Now that Jonas had become the head of the family and was occupied with dealing with the outsiders, he no longer had the time or energy to keep Belinda under control.Belinda asked, "Do you have any staff quarters here? I'd love to move in. I feel much safer when I'm with you."Joseph replied, "There are employee dormitories, but they're completely unfurnished. They're not fit to live in. Besides, it wouldn't be appropriate for you to stay here."He just wanted the peace of staying alone. On top of that, he wasn't that familiar with Belinda.He changed the topic, "Jonas is stretched too thin to bother with you now. Wallace is also in a weake

    Richard asked, "Why?"Joseph said, "Jenton still belongs to the Zahns. With the little strength and influence you and I have right now, we wouldn't be able to do much to them. So what could we really accomplish?"Joseph was waiting for the outsiders to make their move. Just like how the Croma faction dealt with the Ashmores, once the Townes were dealt with, the Zahns would lose one of their strongest allies. When the true face of the Zahn family was finally exposed, its downfall wouldn't be far behind.After lunch with the Snows, Joseph returned to the city. He rested briefly before heading over to treat Marie. By the time he finished, it was already evening.Not long after he returned to the office, Cora arrived. Looking at her breathtakingly beautiful face, Joseph felt both captivated and tormented.Cora said, "Honey, come home with me and get some proper rest."She noticed he looked even more worn out than before. His shaved head had already begun to grow out, covered in a fre

    Joseph returned, but continued avoiding Cora. It was because he knew some part of him still loved her.He wasn't a man made of stone. After nearly 20 years together, he couldn't simply erase those feelings overnight.Of course, he also hated Cora for betraying him and defiling the love he had devoted to their marriage.And even now, Cora still showed no remorse. She continued piling lie upon lie, treating him as though he were a fool.After resting for the night, Joseph drove to the Snow family's estate on the outskirts to examine Cindy again. Her complexion had improved dramatically; she was already out of bed and walking. Although she couldn't stay on her feet for long, the improvement was nothing short of miraculous.Cindy sincerely apologized to Joseph. "Dr. Hart, I owe you an apology. I doubted you before and even spoke disrespectfully to you. I hope you'll forgive my ignorance."Joseph didn't mind a few harsh words at all. After all, it wasn't his first time facing issues o

    Joseph looked at Marie. "When the time comes, Jenton will lose one mythical-tier family. And everything they leave behind will become one enormous prize. Will your family want a share of it?"Marie smiled faintly. "You can discuss that with Yelena. My old bones aren't suited for running around anymore."She could tell Joseph intended to make a move. And if their family refused to support him, he would likely stop treating her.Ever since Joseph began treating her with acupuncture, she could feel her body filling with vitality. It was a sensation that her aging body truly craved.In her eyes, Joseph was an exceptional physician. An elderly woman burdened with chronic illness like herself would undoubtedly need his help again in the future. Having someone like Joseph was valuable not only to an old woman like her but also to Yelena and the younger generation.She shot Yelena an approving look, which Yelena immediately understood. "Grandma, I will support Joseph with everything I'v

    "Don't concern yourself with my affairs." Joseph turned down Helen's offer without another word and asked his in-laws to leave. Of course, he also refused to go home. Their repeated appeals to return for the children's sake only deepened his heartache and resentment.He still couldn't bring himself to see the girls. They weren't his, after all.After devoting so many years of love and effort to raising them, discovering they belonged to someone else shattered him every time he thought about it.And if he actually saw them, he wouldn't even know how to treat them.They were someone else's children, so it wasn't like he could scold or discipline them. Even if he loved them, that love would never truly belong to him. Since whatever he did would be wrong and doing nothing would be wrong as well, he simply chose to stay away.They were Cora's daughters, so she should be the one to take care of them.Joseph had his own matters to handle. The medical equipment Yelena had arranged had al

    "Joseph looks exhausted. Go back to your room so he can get some rest." Rosalie gently sent Brooke upstairs before making Joseph a cup of tea.She said, "Joseph, I heard about what happened at the hospital. Are you going to leave Jenton? Will you leave Brooke and me behind?"Joseph shook his head. "I'm not leaving Jenton. I might have left the hospital, but I've opened my own clinic. From now on, I'll work for myself."Rosalie was surprised. "A clinic? Let me introduce some patients to you. There are plenty of old people living in this neighborhood who are caring for their grandchildren. Most of them have some health issues."Joseph replied, "You don't need to do that. My clinic doesn't cater to patients like that. It looks like a clinic to the public, but we only serve clients referred to us. If the people you're talking about came to my clinic, they'd simply be redirected to a nearby hospital."Joseph had accepted Yelena's advice and decided to work only with influential people.

    Joseph rejected Cora's unreasonable demands without hesitation. "No way. I meant every word. The paternity test result is real, which means your cheating is real. You've already been unfaithful, so there's no point in keeping this marriage going. We have to di—""Joseph, is this the sort of attitud

    Cora had once been the number-one beauty in Jenton. Even now, at 40 years old, she was still stunning. Thanks to her good maintenance routine and a pampered lifestyle, there was no trace of age on her face—she looked like she was 28 at most. Her age only added a touch of mature charm to her.She wa

    When Joseph finally woke from his drunken stupor, he found himself in a luxurious king-sized bed in a hotel room. He was completely naked under the covers, and from the mess all around, he'd definitely gotten down and dirty.His head buzzed as he tried to piece together last night's events. After f

    Joseph Hart stared blankly at the three paternity test reports in front of him. The confirmation that he and his children shared no biological relationship stabbed at his eyes.All three of his daughters were confirmed to have no blood relation to him.
