A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 509

Chapter 509

Naturally, Cora wasn’t intimidated by Jenna’s threat. She said, “Jenna, I know you’ve been upset ever since you lost to my husband in your contest over who the better doctor was, but there’s nothing you can do about it. “In the end, he manipulated you into taking his side. Do you actually believe all his slander about me?

At that, Joseph reflected inwardly that Cora certainly knew how to spin a story. What a pity, he thought, for everything she had just said was complete nonsense. Besides, he had the facts and evidence to prove it.

Jenna replied, “I don’t believe everything he said, but of course, I’m just as skeptical of what you’re telling me

now.

“I understand that you’re worried about the patients, but you can’t just walk in here and tell us how to do our jobs/

With that, Jenna gestured for Cora to leave her office.

“Jenna, do you know why you lost to my husband? Because you’re arrogant and stubborn! And you have poor taste too!

“You’re so gorgeous, yet you choose to be with a freak like him!” Cora exclaimed, deliberately trying to get under Jenna’s skin.

“So what if he’s ugly? I like him!”

Jenna had actually taken the bait. She immediately leaned down and kissed Joseph’s forehead. Since she had already gone this far, she kissed his protruding lower lip.

Cora couldn’t stand watching them anymore and stormed out of the office, slamming the door behind her.

Joseph pulled away from Jenna and wiped his lips. “You need to keep your cool. You let her get to you way too easily.”

“Just this once!”

Jenna was nervous, but she didn’t regret what she had done. In fact, she was pretty happy about it.

After all, this was Joseph. His medical skills were superior to hers, and his knowledge surpassed hers in every area.

He was handsome and elegant, and possessed many other great qualities. His disguise as an ugly man was only temporary.

Others saw a freak, but only she knew how handsome he truly was.

After learning that one of the elders was interested in her, she wanted to break free from the constraints of the Zahn medical sect and the family altogether. The constant harassment from Ivan and the others made her even more determined to get away from the Zahns.

And she had chosen Joseph to help her achieve exactly that.

She figured that even if Joseph proved to be no match for the Zahns and they ended up losing, she still wanted to be the master of her own fate while she still had the chance.

Even if Jenna only had a fleeting moment of happiness with the man she wanted, it would still be worth it.

If someone had told her from the start that she would fall for Joseph, she never would have believed them. But during their medical duel, Jenna realized Joseph was different from the rest. His medical skills surpassed hers,

and she began to really notice him.

The time she had spent with him lately made her realize that their dynamic was rather strange. She knew he was using her, but she was just glad to see the real him.

Without her even realizing it, her feelings for him had quietly begun to change.

“You’re the one who pushed me into this. But when I want to get serious, you back down.”

Joseph was actually torn. He had seen something in Jenna’s eyes-it was the exact same look he had once seen in Grace’s eyes when she looked at him.

He had once believed that he and Grace would get a happy ending. Once he found the children’s biological father, he would divorce Cora. Since Grace was a widow, they could build a new family together.

But Grace’s unexpected car accident changed everything, and their plans fell apart.

What Joseph was doing now was dangerous, and his partner might not be able to walk away unscathed.

“Am I the one backing down? Or is it you?” Jenna shot back.

Joseph didn’t answer her. He adjusted his clothes, put his mask back on, and left her office.

The vital signs of Charlie’s children were finally showing improvement, and not long after, they regained
