Chapter 491
Joseph didn’t show any mercy. Once he knocked the young man down, he kicked him senseless.
After making it look as if a theft had occurred, Joseph had the hospital security and police come over to arrest the
young man.
The incident even got Jenna’s attention. The first thing that came to her mind was that someone had tried to steal the Vitality Pill Joseph had.
After the police finished collecting evidence and left, Jenna helped Joseph tidy his room. She didn’t think much of the tens of thousands of dollars in his room.
After all, Cora was Joseph’s wife, the richest person in Jenton. It was no surprise he would have several million dollars.
Now that no one else was around, Joseph told Jenna the young man’s real motive. He had come to take her back.
Jenna immediately stopped tidying up and looked Joseph over. Seeing his smug expression, she exclaimed, “You.. You sneaky bastard!
“Ivan must’ve been blind. He practically handed himself to you on a silver platter. He deserved what you did to him!”
That young man’s name was Ivan Zahn.
“Are you blaming me for what happened? He clearly came here to put me in my place. If I’d gone easy on him, he’d walk all over me.
“You think I’m the only one this incident makes look bad? It makes you look bad too, okay? Don’t forget. I’m supposed to be your boyfriend.” Joseph let out a chuckle.
Since Jenna was tidying up for him, Joseph didn’t bother lifting a finger. After all, his fingers were still injured.
Jenna had nothing to say to that. She had asked Joseph to pretend to be her boyfriend for precisely this reason.
She had no choice but to continue tidying up for Joseph. After some thought, she climbed onto the bed and said, ” Now even more people will know about us. I might as well stay with you and make it look as real as possible.”
“Aren’t you afraid I might start taking our fake relationship seriously? After all, I’m not a saint!” Joseph hadn’t expected that from Jenna.
Seeing her lying on the bed, he finally realized how beautiful she was. She had a flawless figure too.
Even though Jenna couldn’t compare to Cora, she had youth on her side. She had a youthful energy about her.
For a man Joseph’s age, youth was a woman’s greatest appeal, It was just a natural instinct. Since he didn’t have children of his own, he felt having a younger partner could give him the family he wanted.
Joseph had yet to realize the change in his mindset. Right now, he was still set on divorcing Cora, finding another woman to have his children, and starting a new family.
Living at the monastery was just a way for him to find inner peace and keep his violent impulses in check. That way, he wouldn’t lose his humanity in pursuit of his revenge against Cora and her lover.
“I don’t think you’d do anything foolish. Your wife said you’re an honest man. You’d never actually give up someone as gorgeous as her.”

Still, Jenna was a little nervous. After all, it was just the two of them alone in the room. Anything could happen. “Ha! Trying to guilt-trip me again? Don’t forget this. When I was living in the Jenton University Hospital dorm, I did something that made me a laughingstock inside and outside of the hospital.
“I slept with a nightclub hostess. Oh, technically, she slept with me!”
“That…” Jenna suddenly remembered that she had mocked Joseph back then too and believed he lacked professional ethics. Since he hadn’t been fired, she assumed he had been shameless enough to hold onto his position at the Jenton University Hospital.
Jenna quickly got off the bed and straightened her clothes, saying, “From now on, we should keep our distance If you get any ideas, I’ll make sure you never have kids!”
