A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 170

Chapter 170

When Helen was about to turn in for the night, she realized Cora and Joseph were still sharing the same room.

Helen was confused. Joseph and Cora already had a major fallout. How could they even be in the same room together? Didn’t they find that awkward?

As Helen approached the door to speak to Cora, she heard the sounds of Cora and Joseph being intimate inside and Cora was completely engrossed in the moment. Even at her age, Helen couldn’t help flushing red with embarrassment at what she heard.

“What? They’re still having sex after all that? Seriously? And there’s Joseph too. He made such a big fuss, yet he still went to bed with Cora. Filing for a divorce, huh? What a hypocrite!”

Helen couldn’t make heads or tails of it. She was displeased with Joseph, but she was more impressed with Cora Her daughter was really something-she actually knew how to handle Joseph.

The next day, Helen got out of bed, but there was no sign of Joseph. All she saw was Cora fussing over Kimberly, so she asked, “Where’s Joseph? Still lazing in bed?”

“He already went to the hospital early this morning.”

After settling Kimberly down, Cora led her parents into the study and said gravely, “Frank got into an accident at 3: 00 am. He was resuscitated for two hours at the Traditional Medicine Center, but nothing worked.

“They’ve already transferred him to Jenton University Hospital. If Joseph can’t save him, Frank is done for.”

Helen and Bernard were both taken aback as they had always been quite fond of Frank. Now that he had been in a serious accident and appeared to be in bad shape, they couldn’t help but worry.

“Were they behind this?” Bernard asked.

“There’s no direct evidence linking them to this accident, but I believe they did it. Frank was in a car accident, and his chances of making it are slim. He was the backbone of the Ashmore family,” Cora said gravely.

“They really caught us off guard this time. They didn’t even give us any warning and just tried to seize everything by force. They’ve gone too far!” Bernard was infuriated, but he also felt somewhat helpless against such a powerful outside force.

“I didn’t expect them to be so united. Nine families had actually joined forces, and their combined power was terrifying.

“They clearly knew how to strategize things and keep our family, the Howes, and the Thorpes under pressure while going all-out against the Ashmores, who are weaker than us.

“In just a few days, they had wiped out the Ashmores. Their methods were extremely brutal.
