Chapter 447
Marla still couldn’t provide any useful information. After she left, Jenna turned to Joseph, who had just stepped out of the guest room, and said, “Did you hear that? Marla only knows that the man you’re looking for is a part of the Zahn family, but she doesn’t know who he is.”
Joseph replied, “I said that once I got inside the Zahn family, I would have a good chance of uncovering the truth- about my daughters. Now, do you still doubt my judgment?”
“Your instincts are pretty accurate,” responded Jenna. She thought that his judgment was rarely wrong, not just in medicine, but in almost everything else. He was intelligent and capable. The only thing he lacked was a platform.
Jenna asked, “What about Marla’s husband? Are you not going to the hospital to save him?”
Joseph answered coldly, “Do you truly think that he’ll survive if I show up? You give me far too much credit. Besides, Marla knows the truth about my daughters, yet she refuses to tell me. Does she think I’m an idiot?/
“I saved her family last time, and look at how she repaid me. The moment she got what she wanted, she kicked the ladder away.”
Currently, his priority was finding his daughters’ biological father. He wanted to find the man Cora cheated on him with. Then, he would divorce her and go their separate ways, never having anything to do with each other again.
Joseph walked over to the couch in the living room and lit a cigarette. He asked, “Jenna, have you ever thought about what you’ll do if the Zahn family falls?”
Jenna didn’t like his habit of smoking, but he refused to listen to her. She felt helpless. If she complained, he would just call her a nagging housewife. She had no choice but to tolerate it. She even comforted herself with the thought that he wouldn’t be staying here forever.
She shot back, “Will the Zahn family fall? How? Because of you?”
Joseph replied, “Of course, not. I can’t take down the Zahn family, but they aren’t as invincible as they look. The elders refuse to die, and they can’t create value for the family anymore. Instead, they use the blood of their own descendants to extend their lives. They’re heartless.
“Those are just internal problems, but there are external pressures too. The Croma faction has already entered Jenton. If they attack together, do you think the Zahn family won’t suffer? Don’t forget the families in Jenton. They’ve been suppressed by the Zahn family for years.
“Now that they finally have a chance to rise again, do you think they’ll let that opportunity slip away? When a wall starts collapsing, everyone rushes over to push it. Can the Zahn family really survive all of that?”
