A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 244

Chapter 244

Joseph was remarkably calm. No one had come looking for him even when it was time for him to get out of work. So, he became even more convinced that the person who had set the fire was keeping their word.

These days, love was the least reliable thing in the world. Only interests and benefits lasted forever.

Joseph sighed. Then, he left the hospital and went to Kingsley Estate, where he shared the place with Rosalie.

“Dad, look. I got a perfect score,” said Brooke, holding up a test paper. She wanted a reward.

“That’s amazing. Let’s see where all this sudden genius came from,” replied Joseph, surprised.

After taking a look at the test paper, he noticed something suspicious. The answers were clearly copied from an answer sheet and then graded afterward.

Joseph pulled out a hundred-dollar bill but didn’t hand it over immediately. Instead, he looked directly into Brooke’s eyes. To his surprise, she didn’t look nervous at all.

At such a young age, she already had incredible composure. When she grew up, she would either become someone influential or a leader of a gang of troublemakers.

“If you can get the same score on your final exam, I’ll give you ten times this amount,” said Joseph.

“That might be difficult, but I’ll try my best,” responded Brooke. This time, she felt diffident. Once she took the money, she hid it before running off to the study to work on her homework.

Rosalie brought over a plate of fruit and said, “You’re spoiling her too much, I’m worried that she’ll become too dependent on you. If you didn’t come over one day, I wouldn’t know how to calm her down.”

“Do you wish for me to come every day?” Joseph asked.
