A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 424

Chapter 424

Joseph said, “Cora, it’s disgusting how you’re still trying to cover things up.”

Joseph had the paternity test results in his hands. No matter what Cora said or did, she couldn’t refute that. Everything else was just denial.

She had cheated on him and was still trying to deny it. Her character was just rotten to the core.

Joseph told Cora to leave before turning back toward the main building.

Cora called after him, but he never looked back. For a moment, she was tempted to summon her people, force open the gates, and drag him home if necessary.

Joseph might hate being dragged back, but at least he’d still be home.

But she knew that Joseph would definitely fight back.

Lately, she had begun to fear his methods. The fact that he dared to do something to the girls meant he would certainly dare to do something to her or her parents.

He might not take their lives, but he might make them sick and leave them bedridden for a month or two, unable to do anything. By the time they recovered, all the wealth, status, and influence they once possessed would likely be gone.

For people like them, losing money and status was a fate worse than death.

When husband and wife stood opposed to one another, it only made an already chaotic household descend further

into ruin.

In the end, Cora had no choice but to leave.

Late that night, Joseph received a phone call from Yara. She initially used a voice changer, but after Joseph exposed her almost instantly, she switched back to her real voice and began hurling vicious insults at him.

Joseph knew Yara was just trying to provoke him. She mocked him and Cora for failing to get any answers despite going to such lengths to seize Marla. Marla remained fiercely loyal.

Yet, Joseph did not get angry. He remained perfectly calm because he had already done something to Yara as well. When the time came, she wouldn’t even have the ability to regret things.

For now, he would let her be as arrogant as she wanted to be.

Fate drove people mad before it destroyed them.

And if fate refused to do anything, then Joseph would act instead.

After Yara finally finished cursing at him, Joseph said calmly, “Now that you’ve vented your anger, would you mind telling me who Cora’s lover is?”

Yara laughed. “I’ll never tell you. In fact, I’ll send you an entire car full of balloons tomorrow. One for each time she cheated on you. You can count for yourself how many times she has made a fool of you.”

Joseph said, “Only one car? After almost two decades together, I assumed she’d been betraying me for just as long. Her sins must be beyond counting.”

Yara sneered. “I guess you’re not completely stupid. Just keep wearing the humiliation proudly, then.”

Joseph replied, “The truth won’t stay buried forever, whether you tell me or not. At this point, everything points in one direction. The Zahn family has always had trouble producing heirs. I can count the younger generation on one hand.

“I’ve already ruled out quite a few people, which means the remaining suspects are becoming increasingly obvious. I have a feeling I’m getting closer and closer to the truth. Soon enough, I’ll lift the veil and finally see the face of Cora’s lover.”

Yara scoffed. “I don’t think you’ll live long enough to see that day.”

“My life is worth very little. You’re welcome to take it at any time. That is, if you’re capable of doing so, of course. “Joseph remained indifferent.

The line went dead. Joseph could easily imagine the hatred Yara felt toward him. But the resources she commanded within the Zahn family were incredibly limited.
