Semua Bab A Man with Nerves of Steel: Bab 201 - Bab 210

Hearing Natalie's reproach made Joseph feel conflicted and incredibly bitter inside.Natalie was getting more rebellious and strong-willed by the day, but the only person she yielded to was the wealthy and influential Cora.And she grew increasingly dismissive of him as a father, seeing him as nothing more than an ordinary doctor and a househusband with no real earning power.For Natalie to become less reliant on him and learn to think for herself was actually a good thing for her personal growth; however, right now, she was acting like someone who would bite the hand that feeds her."Be strong, Selena. If you become weak too, people will walk all over you in the future. Alright, I'm done lecturing you guys. It's getting late. You should both get to bed. I've been working all day, and I'm starving. I'm just going to whip up something to eat.""Dad, I'm hungry too. I want some food as well."Selena wiped at her tears, but they wouldn't stop falling. It was as if she were completel

When Joseph woke up again, he didn't say another word to Cora. He got dressed and walked right out without even saying goodbye to the kids.He went to check on the patient from last night's surgery first. As the patient was out of the woods and most likely wouldn't suffer any post-op complications, the next stage would be recovery.He then went to see Frank. Joseph was confident he could get the man to talk, but he was in no hurry.He wanted to achieve two things—make Frank talk and ensure he'd keep his mouth shut afterward.Around noon, he received the latest intel on Frank's wife and his son. Joseph figured the time was right to lay his cards on the table, so he headed to Frank's hospital room. Only the two of them were there.Joseph got straight to the point. "Things aren't looking good for your wife and son. But your son still has a chance to recover…"He watched Frank's vacant eyes suddenly light up with life. Frank tried to write something, but he couldn't even hold a pen s

"Tell me. Where the hell do I fall short compared to this guy? How did Cora end up cheating on me with him?"Joseph and Grace had made it to the edge of Wayford Lake at that point. He still needed Grace's resources to get back at Warren, so he didn't hold back his suspicions about him."Warren Huff might not look nearly as good as you, but he's a member of the Huff family. If Cora cheated with him, I can kind of understand it. He knows about all that fortune-telling stuff, he's a smooth talker, and he's pretty skilled at dealing with women.""You… I asked you to trash him, so why are you saying I'm worse than him? That just makes me feel even more like a failure. Forget it. If you say I can't compare to him, then I guess it's normal for Cora to go find someone better."Sometimes the ugly guy gets the woman who is completely out of his league. Maybe Cora's so much of a tramp that she gets off on being played by ugly men. What a bitch! Fuck!"Joseph took a violent drag on his cigare

When Joseph got back to the hospital, he found Bernard sitting in his office. The moment they locked eyes, the animosity was mutual.Joseph asked, "What are you doing here? Has Warren admitted to it?""Cora says she has nothing to do with Warren, so you should stop hurting their reputation! If you have proof, show it!"Glaring at Joseph, Bernard held out a hand, demanding proof."Have you gone senile or something? You've seen the DNA test results for Natalie and Selena. They are not my children. They're bastard children Cora had with random men."If they're not Warren's, then they're some other guy's children. Either way, they aren't mine. If you don't even believe hard evidence like that, what other proof do you want?"Since Joseph had already forced his way into Lowell Group and fought Bernard's bodyguards, he had thrown caution to the wind. He no longer felt the need to show Bernard any respect."I acknowledge that piece of evidence. If Cora wasn't in denial, I would've agree

Andrew Collins?Joseph touched his jaw. It wasn't dislocated, but his gums had been torn, and he could already taste blood in his mouth.Andrew tried to run, but unfortunately for him, this was Joseph's hospital. There was just no way he could escape.There were police officers downstairs, so the moment Andrew stepped out of the elevator, he was pinned down.After the necessary procedures were completed, Andrew was taken to the precinct and was set to face serious charges.Realizing the severity of the situation, Andrew hastily claimed it was merely a personal dispute involving his partner and that it was all a misunderstanding.When the police questioned Joseph, however, Joseph said he didn't even know Andrew's partner, so there could be no such dispute. And he told the officers to continue their investigation.Fiona showed up with a settlement agreement. "Joseph, please cut Andrew some slack and let him go. He only came after you because he found out you slapped me."Only the
