Semua Bab A Man with Nerves of Steel: Bab 191 - Bab 200

Of course, the representative from New World Group didn't dare to lay a hand on Joseph. Setting aside the fact that Joseph was the ICU department's deputy director and the deputy leader of the hospital's task force, his status as Cora's husband alone was enough to make the representative think twice.The others could sneer at Joseph as a useless son-in-law and look down on him from the bottom of their hearts, but they didn't dare to hit him publicly. Beating Joseph would be the same as slapping Cora and the entire Lowell family in the face.In the end, both parties parted on bad terms. After the representative left, Mason asked with concern, "You've rejected them again and again. Wouldn't that cause trouble?""We haven't rejected anything. We're just following procedure. Don't worry. I know where the line is," replied Joseph.Joseph didn't completely close the door. Mason might only be a temporary replacement, but he still represented the hospital.If people believed that introduc

"What can I do if you refuse to divorce? Since you don't want to do it, you'll just have to pay for it!"That was what Joseph thought. He hated himself for being powerless, for not being able to keep Cora in check. If he were also someone from the upper crust, with powerful connections backing him, would Cora still have the guts to act like this?Then again, if he had a background that could rival the Lowell family, would Cora have even cheated in the first place?So, at the end of the day, he had only himself to blame for being powerless. Still, that didn't give Cora the right to be unfaithful.Joseph didn't expect Fiona to walk in right then. She plopped herself down without waiting for an invitation and picked up the utensils. "I'll keep you company, Joseph. If anything is troubling you, you can talk to me about it."Joseph poured Fiona a glass of water, then handed it to her. "Cora and I have pretty much fallen out now. We're just pretending everything's fine on the surface. S

When Cora came home and saw Joseph playing with Kimberly, she let out a sigh of relief.Since her parents had a falling out with Joseph and had a party to attend that day, they wouldn't be coming over. That meant Cora didn't have to worry about any drama between Joseph and Bernard.Seeing everyone gathered around the dinner table gave Cora the illusion that they were a happy family of five again.After dinner, the children went off to do their own things under a housekeeper's supervision, while Cora went to the heated indoor pool to relax with Joseph."Honey, can you promise me something?""I already told you that I'm still not over your betrayal. We could get divorced at any time," Joseph said calmly.After a full day at the hospital, he needed to relax. After all, he was 40 now. He couldn't recover as quickly as a 20-year-old."Will you give that a rest already? I want you to stop having any contact with Grace. She's a widow, and you've slept with her. That shouldn't have happ

The next day, Joseph arrived at the hospital at his usual time. He had just finished organizing his schedule when Mason called. Someone wanted to transfer Frank to the hospital, and Joseph was asked to handle the room assignment.He found it a little strange that the Croma faction had actually kept Frank alive.When he saw Frank and reviewed his medical records, he immediately determined that Frank had lost his ability to speak.In his paralyzed state, Frank appeared lifeless. He looked like a dead man, with only the monitors proving he was still alive.After examining him, Joseph found that Frank's vital signs were stable and that he was not in immediate danger of dying, so he assigned Frank to a standard ward.Dave summoned Joseph to his office and brought up Frank's case. "I've received instructions from above. They want Frank in a condition where he can talk again. Do you think you're up to it?"It turned out Frank's inability to speak was precisely why he was still alive. Th

The last thing Sally said before leaving was, "Your wife is Cora Lowell, the richest person in Jenton. How could you possibly be short on money?"Joseph merely gave a bitter smile at the time. His lack of a direct answer was an answer in itself.Over the past decade or two, he had never once worried about money because Cora was always there to support him. But in reality, he had never used her wealth to enjoy a lavish lifestyle.His life remained as simple and humble as before. If Cora hadn't insisted that "clothes made the man", he probably would have worn the same clothes for a decade.Wasn't Cora's sense of superiority, confidence, and arrogance simply due to her deep pockets? She could even get someone like Ella to work as her bodyguard just because she had money. Money really could make the world go round.That was why Joseph wanted to make money quickly. As for Sally, her arrival was truly a godsend.Still, he didn't really know Sally, so he couldn't actually listen to her
