A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 534

Chapter 534

Joseph could tell that Belinda wasn’t entirely satisfied and said, “All I can do for now is keep following developments and tell you whatever I learn.”

“That’s more like it.” Only then did Belinda feel that the 50,000 dollars had been well spent. She exchanged contact information with Joseph.

She took out her check book, intending to pay him for more information, but hesitated. She had already paid him 50,000 dollars. Giving him more money now would only make him harder to control later.

When Belinda hesitated, Joseph more or less understood that she needed to manage her fortunes/frugally.

He smiled and said, “Actually, we can just exchange information instead. There are people asking me about matters within the hospital, and even Yara has asked me about things happening outside of it.

“These are all tradable commodities, aren’t they? You answer one question for me, and I’ll answer one question for you. No money will be involved. How about that?”

Belinda paused for a moment and sized Joseph up. He might be ugly, but the man was remarkably quick-witted and bold.

Wasn’t that kind of man the easiest kind to control? As long as he wanted something…

She nodded in agreement with his proposal and told him to ask his question first.

Joseph asked, “Someone is curious why Cora voluntarily came to the hospital to accuse her own husband. What exactly is she trying to accomplish?”

“I’ll let her answer that herself.” Belinda gestured for Joseph to remain silent before calling Cora and asking his question directly.

From the other end of the line, Cora replied, “You already know the answer. I can’t find Joseph right now, so anything that happens that could possibly be related to him naturally warrants my suspicion.

“Belinda, I know you’re looking for him, too. You’re afraid he’ll retaliate against you. You want to find him before he can strike, whether that’s to eliminate him or buy him over.”

Cora paused for a moment before continuing, “Let me make one thing clear. Until we’re divorced, he’s still my husband. If any of you find him, you’d better hand him over to me.”

Belinda replied, “Naturally. If I find him, I’ll return him to you unharmed. But do you really think making Joseph a public enemy will force him out of hiding?”

Cora said, “That would depend on how capable everyone involved is. That’s enough talk; I still need to stop by Jenton University Hospital and put some pressure on them as well.

After Cora hung up, Belinda turned to Joseph and asked, “Are you satisfied with that answer?”

Joseph sighed. “They say that marriage is something that is easily tossed aside when disaster strikes. The richest woman in Jenton truly is remarkable. In her eyes, money really is the most important thing. Money can replace both her family and her husband.”

Belinda chuckled. “You certainly have a refreshing and unique perspective, but I don’t think you should keep looking at things this way.

“You don’t really have much money right now. You should abandon your outdated worldview and learn to

understand how this world really works. Your goal should be to become the richest man in Jenton. Even if you fail to reach that goal, the result won’t be too bad.”

Secretly, she thought Joseph was merely another bitter young man resentful of society. She thought he had a shallow understanding of the world and would be easy to manipulate.

She was already considering how she might indoctrinate him in the future.

She said, “I’ve answered your question, so it’s only fair you answer mine now. My question is very simple. Have you ever slept with a woman?”
