A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 300

Chapter 300

Joseph planned to visit Kenneth, who was already recovering. But whenever Joseph made his rounds, Kenneth would pretend to be asleep and refuse to talk to him.

But Katie was very cooperative and told Joseph everything she knew.

For example, she shared that Kenneth had planned the Jenton Grand Hotel poisoning incident in advance. He had placed the poison in a spice jar in advance. Once it was opened and used, it would poison everyone who ate the food.

Kenneth had arranged three setups, and the Jenton Grand Hotel food poisoning incident was just one of them. There were two other locations, but since Katie didn’t know where, she couldn’t provide any more information to Joseph.

When Katie could only speculate that Kenneth was going after either the Townes or the Zahns, Joseph decided to stop pursuing the matter.

Later, Belinda came to the department looking for Joseph and said, “Joseph, I didn’t realize your medical skills had become so good. How did you do it?”

Joseph was slightly perplexed. “How did I do it? Well, even if I told you, you wouldn’t get it. What are you here for this time?”

“Save my grandfather! You’re the only one who can save him now. Now that he’s in a coma, the situation has become very delicate for our family. What will it take to save him? Name your price.”

“Belinda, I didn’t know you were a Towne before. If I had, I never would’ve worked with you! Jenna was competing with me to see who was the better doctor while I was working with you at the same time.

“What’s that supposed to mean? You should just go home. Let’s pretend we’ve never met. Ever.”

“You… How did you become this way? We’re partners…”

“Partners? What nonsense! You’re on the Zahn family’s side. How could I work with you? Why would I keep working with someone who could betray me at any moment?”

“When have I ever betrayed you? I’d never do that! I’ll help you find out who your children’s biological father is and who your wife’s lover is. Once I’ve done all that, will you save my grandfather?”

“With Jenna and the others around, I’m sure Maurice won’t be dying anytime soon. Besides, you don’t hold the reins in your family anyway, so why stress?

“Let’s face it–you’re not genuinely concerned here; you’re just maintaining basic etiquette. But credit where it’s due. At least you still show a shred of care for them.”

Then Joseph had Belinda start her investigation. Since Cora refused to see reason, he would make her pay a greater price.

Two days later, Joseph had successfully treated all the poisoned patients. Since there were no fatalities at Jenton University Hospital, the special task force had been called off and disbanded.

Joseph spoke to Dave, and the latter told him that he had received word that the Zahns had captured the poisoner. But for some unknown reason, they had let him go.

So it wasn’t Kenneth? Someone else was behind it?

Confused, Joseph went to ask Katie, and he began to form a suspicion from her answers. Another powerful family had infiltrated Jenton. Seeing Kenneth and Katie make a move against the Townes, they decided to get involved as well.

But the Zahns were deeply entrenched in Jenton. Once they started looking into it, they would definitely uncover outsiders who had infiltrated the city. They would pin the blame on them, and these outsiders would have to pay heavily in resources so they could walk away.

Among major families, personal relationships meant nothing. They only cared about interests and transactions.

Joseph came looking for Kenneth and realized he was still pretending to be asleep. After dismissing his staff, Joseph leaned in and whispered something in Kenneth’s ear.

When Joseph told Kenneth to continue poisoning others, the latter was taken aback and could no longer keep up his act.
