Chapter 251

Author: Lunar Flame
Joseph didn't know why he had confessed the arson to Grace. He wasn't even completely certain that she wouldn't betray him. After all, it was her own choice.

Besides, he and Cora had loved each other for more than a decade. Yet, she had hidden the truth from him all this time and betrayed him repeatedly.

So, how could he possibly place absolute trust in Grace, whom he had met by chance and shared only an unexpected relationship with?

Joseph didn't regret telling Grace. If she chose to betray

    Belinda handed Joseph a copy of the Zahn family's proposed "donation plan". The designated recipient was the Jenton Charitable Foundation.Under the proposal, the Towne family was expected to donate 20 billion dollars, which was practically everything they owned. If they paid, they would be left with nothing. What frustrated Belinda was that almost half of the older generation in the Towne family actually supported it. If her health hadn't been so weakened at that moment, she would have been tempted to kill those old men herself. She looked at Joseph seriously. "Joseph, what do you think I should do?"Joseph finished reading the proposal and saw that it was basically just legal robbery. As he searched for information about the Jenton Charitable Foundation, he asked, "What do you think?"Belinda said, "I definitely can't side with the Zahns. I think they're finished this time. They're going to lose everything and disappear from Jenton. If I keep following them, I'll just go down

    From everything that had happened with Joseph recently, Cora realized that he no longer responded to force. If anything, the harder she pushed, the more stubborn he became. So, she decided against being too aggressive and said softly, "Do you think any of this has been easy on me? They're my children, and I've only ever had one man. Yet, somehow they're not yours. Who am I supposed to complain to?"The company headquarters was burned down, and the arsonist hasn't been caught. And yesterday, someone came demanding I give them ten billion dollars. At home, the man I love misunderstands me, and the children are rebelling. Outside, people look down on me. I…"Before she could finish, tears rolled down her cheeks.Joseph watched silently. It was rare to see Cora cry; she hadn't even cried that much during childbirth.However, he made no move to comfort her. After all, she still refused to tell him who her lover was. To him, these tears were nothing more than a distraction to avoid the

    Joseph didn't have many places left to go, so he decided to return to Kingsley Estate and focus on studying the medical manual.This longevity method was completely different from blood transfusions. Instead, it followed a more traditional path of gathering rare herbs to refine into pills.His first reading yielded almost nothing. It was no different from trying to decipher an ancient burial text just excavated from a tomb. Only after reading it a second time did he begin to gain some insight. Little by little, he started to grasp the author's train of thought, almost as if he had stepped into the author's shoes. Only then did he truly begin to understand the text.Unfortunately, the more he understood, the more he realized it was nearly impossible to put into practice. Most of the medicinal ingredients were extraordinarily difficult to obtain. Worse still, several of the required minerals were inherently toxic, including mercury.Even if such an elixir could prolong one's life,

    Peyton shrugged. "Who knows?"Cora studied her expression carefully as she spoke. After a moment, Cora concluded that Peyton genuinely didn't know where Joseph was, so she left.Still, Peyton's offhand remark about Joseph having other women reminded her of something. She had once arranged for two women to be around Joseph—Lacey and the other hostess.The hostess was working, so Joseph was unlikely to be with her. Lacey, however, didn't have any assignments at the moment.Without calling ahead, Cora drove straight to Lacey's apartment.She unlocked the door and walked inside. She didn't see Lacey, but she heard Lacey say something that made her deeply unhappy. "Joseph, you're here!"The moment she heard that, she knew that Joseph had been here before.When Lacey stepped out and saw Cora, she froze in place, dumbfounded. Realizing she'd just let the truth slip, she hurriedly apologized, "Ms. Lowell, Joseph came here twice. He threatened me and wouldn't let me tell you. He said

    Helen said, "How could generations of effort lose to a few years of studying?"After she left, Joseph found himself replaying those words over and over. They stung, but they were also painfully realistic.Without the title of the Lowell family's son-in-law, he was simply a doctor whose medical skills happened to be a little better than everyone else's. His parents were long gone, and they hadn't left him a fortune that would spare him the need to struggle.His savings weren't substantial either.Cora had changed, and the children weren't his. In the end, he truly stood alone.Even so, Joseph had already made his choice.Everything had been set in motion, so there was no turning back now.He shook off those lingering emotions and called Peyton. He asked her to step it up and target another Evercrest Industrial warehouse.At noon, Joseph spent another hour poring over local magazines. He carefully studied Emerald Mountain's terrain and waterways before finally circling a location

    Helen started to get impatient. "Joseph, I'm talking about your career. Stop bringing up the children. Your future is what's important."Joseph merely continued, "The Zahn family is in serious trouble now. Are you stopping Cora from telling you because you want to protect your son-in-law from the Zahn family? Or do you already know and are keeping it from me? Are you helping Cora cover up her shame?"The two of them spoke past each other, each answering questions the other hadn't asked. Gradually, Joseph gained the upper hand, and Helen was forced to give up.Helen sighed. "You're too stubborn for me to argue with you. But everything I've said has been for your own good.""Thank you for your concern. I'm on the verge of divorcing Cora, yet you're still looking out for me. I'm very touched." Joseph sighed. "I suppose treating you as my mother for almost 20 years wasn't completely meaningless. But if you're helping Cora hide the truth, then you'll still have to bear the consequences

    "This ingrate has the nerve to make outrageous demands of us to scam us out of our money! Let me kill him!" Bernard was still furious. He pushed Cora away to hit Joseph, but Joseph blocked his attacks.Helen didn't hear the whole story, but she still hurried over to break them up."Enough of this!

    Joseph met Bernard's scrutinizing gaze and said, "It's genuine. I didn't believe this was the truth, either, so I did a few more paternity tests with different labs. But the results… they didn't change."Bernard didn't speak right away. He just stared at Joseph, his eyes sharp and probing.A bitte

    Joseph was prepared for this and met Cora's gaze head-on. "Cora, you're now the richest person in Jenton. Your net worth is what, 80 billion dollars? And that's even a conservative guess. I'm not going to make some ridiculous demand to split everything equally. That money isn't mine, and I didn't ea

    Joseph walked into the bar and found the owner, Anne Wells. One look at her long, dark curls made him start to doubt that what the hotel front desk had told him was fake.Sure enough, when he said he wanted to repay the room fee and deposit, Anne immediately refused. She denied ever driving him to
