A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 102

Chapter 102

The people Joseph had Fiona look into were the patient from earlier, Lionel Baker, and his family. She worked very fast. It wasn’t long before she forwarded details on his background.

Joseph glanced through it. Lionel sure had a large family, and the number matched the relatives who came to the hospital.

Still, it was all just basic background information that wasn’t of much use. Joseph then called Fiona again.

“Fiona, are you messing with me? What’s the use of all this information? What I want is the Baker family’s notable actions and history. I want to know their core strengths as well. Be as specific as possible.

“What on earth are you up to?”

“How did the Bakers build their wealth? Do they have anything to do with the Lowells? If so, what’s the situation like?”

“I… Why do you need to know all this?”

“What do you think I can even do? Nothing at all. I just want to figure things out. Don’t worry about why I need all this information.

“Just tell me what’s going on, and you’ll have repaid the favor you owe me.”

‘Joseph, must you… Forget it. I’ll tell you everything. Lionel and his family built their wealth through organized crime.

“They’ve been involved in all kinds of illegal industries, even ones you can’t imagine. Of course, the Bakers still aren’t significant enough to have direct ties to the Lowells.

“Oh, how should I put this? It’s like a hospital recruiting new interns from medical schools every year The Lowells are like the hospital director, while Lionel and his family are interns who get rotated out every year.”

“Why didn’t you say so earlier? I would’ve understood right away.” Joseph ended the call and glanced through the details again.

There was no denying that, even though the Bakers were involved in organized crime, they had

accumulated substantial wealth and other resources.

Fiona’s information also made Joseph realize that the Lowells’ influence in Jenton was greater than he had expected.

As the richest woman in the city, Cora’s influence wasn’t based on wealth alone. She wasn’t only good at making money and running businesses, but she also had many covert dealings.
