Chapter 537

Cora took one look and instantly recognized Natalie. She walked over and yanked off Natalie’s sunglasses, saying coldly, “You’ve grown very bold, I see. You’re shameless enough to come here, so why bother hiding your face?”

“Cora, you…” The moment Natalie saw her mother’s icy glare, she immediately lost her nerve. Skylar might have given her money and other benefits, but it was still nowhere near enough for her to stand against Cora.

After all, Cora was her mother. There was an invisible authority that came with blood ties, along with the fact that Cora had always ruled the household with an iron fist.

Natalie didn’t dare openly defy Cora, so she immediately redirected her anger toward someone else. Raising her hand, she tried to hit Joseph.

Joseph had been enjoying the spectacle while also looking for an opportunity to make his escape. Taking advantage of the situation, he sidestepped the blow and retreated.

Missing her target only made Natalie angrier, and she moved to chase after him.

Cora grabbed Natalie and ordered her bodyguards to take Natalie away for the time being. She would deal with Natalie herself later.

This was a family matter, after all.

Turning back, she glared fiercely at Joseph, wondering why this ugly man was around again.

Joseph said, “The department has regulations. Unauthorized visitors aren’t allowed into restricted areas, especially the intensive care wards.”

Cora frowned. “I want to see Yara.”

This lowly, ugly doctor was clearly taking pleasure in her predicament and treating her family affairs as entertainment. Did he not care about keeping his job?

“That can be arranged.” Joseph promptly led Cora to Yara’s hospital room. To his surprise, however, Cora immediately turned against him.

Pointing at Joseph, she said to Yara, “If you still want a share of that project, then I don’t want to see him ever again.”

“Henry, get lost. The farther away you go, the better,” Yara said decisively, ordering Joseph to leave.

“What? You want me to leave? Fine, I’ll leave.” Joseph paused briefly before turning around without hesitation and walking away.

He simply hadn’t expected Yara to stab him in the back right in his face. Between him and Cora, it was obvious that Yara would choose to cut him loose. After all, he was nothing more than a pawn that was only useful when someone needed him. Otherwise, he was useless.

But Yara shouldn’t celebrate too soon. Until her illness was cured, she would continue to suffer. Joseph let her off once before, but so many days had passed. It was about time her condition worsened again. What was the point of making all the money in the world if she was dead?

Lost in thought, Joseph was walking toward the elevator when Natalie spotted him.

“Go drag him over here! I’m going to slap him!” Natalie was just as overbearing as ever as she pointed at Joseph.

The bodyguards standing beside her immediately looked troubled.

Natalie’s expression immediately soured when they wouldn’t listen to her, and she started to threaten them. “If neither of you goes, I’ll have my mother fire you. Think about it carefully. Between you and me, who do you think my mother will side with?”

Then, she turned back to Joseph and beckoned him over with a playful smile.

The expression on her face looked absolutely sinister.

The girl was getting more rebellious by the day. Joseph raised her all these years, and now she wanted to hit him? A bastard would always be a bastard.

When the two bodyguards approached, Joseph suddenly pointed at Natalie to say, “She’s just trying to distract you. She’s planning to escape.”

The two bodyguards immediately turned to look at Natalie. Strangely enough, they found Joseph’s explanation rather convincing. So, one remained behind to watch Natalie while the other continued walking toward Joseph.
