A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 546

Chapter 546

Joseph said, “Let me go, and I’ll tell you something extremely valuable.”

Natalie sneered. “Do you really think you’ll be able to keep your mouth shut even if I don’t let you go?”

She reached out to grab Joseph by the hair, intending to force his head up and make him look at her. But the moment she pulled, his wig came right off. Underneath was Joseph’s scalp, covered with a severe skin condition and patches of sores.

“Disgusting! How are you so ugly?” Natalie recoiled instantly. Just one glance made her feel as if her eyes had been contaminated. She hurriedly tossed the wig back at him and kept shaking her hand, as though she had touched something filthy.

Little did she know, this was exactly the effect Joseph wanted. The uglier he looked, the safer he was. The contrast would make it even less likely that anyone would ever recognize him.

With his drooping eyebrows, heavy eyelids, severe underbite, hunched back, and now diseased scalp, Joseph had achieved a level of ugliness that was almost impossible to surpass.

“Slap him twice.” Natalie had no intention of letting Joseph off easily.

The bodyguard immediately released Joseph’s arms, but only so she could quickly deliver two sharp slaps across Joseph’s face.

Natalie asked coldly, “Now talk. What valuable information do you have?”

Joseph sat on the floor, rubbing his numb arms and wrists. “For the daughter of the richest woman in Jenton to act like this is truly unexpected.”

Natalie’s expression darkened. “If you keep running your mouth, I’ll keep making your life miserable. Besides, what can you do about it? My mother is the richest woman in Jenton. Do you understand now? Hurry up and talk.”

Joseph laughed bitterly. “That certainly is true.”

“Fuck, he’s so ugly when he laughs. Beat him again.” Natalie was getting impatient. If she couldn’t even get someone as insignificant as Joseph under control, how could she command other people in the future?

How could she establish herself within the Zahn family and inherit everything her biological father Skylar had built?

Joseph didn’t want to suffer another beating for no reason, so he hurriedly spoke, “Aren’t you looking for information about Joseph? I have something.”

The moment she heard that name, Natalie froze. For a brief instant, a trace of pain flashed across her face. But it was quickly replaced by cold determination.

She said, “You know I’m part of the Zahn family, and you still bring up Joseph in front of me? Are you deliberately touching a sore spot? Looks like you haven’t been beaten enough.”

She signaled the bodyguard to beat Joseph up again.

Joseph said hurriedly, “Do you really think the doctors at the Traditional Medicine Center can save Skylar? If they could, they’d have already done it. Right now, it’s not just Arthur and Jenna searching for Joseph, but your mother and the others too.”

He looked directly at Natalie. “Because Joseph is the only hope of saving your father. If you find Joseph and

convince him to return, then you’ll be the person who saved Skylar. Your status will rise overnight.”

Natalie fell silent.

Joseph continued, “Yara is currently discussing the Provora project with your mother. That project is worth billions. That was something Skylar planned from the beginning. But now that he’s hospitalized, the Zahns have taken control of it and handed it over to Harold. Don’t you want it back?”

Natalie clenched her teeth. She would ask Joseph for help if it meant saving her biological father.

So, she finally said, “Then tell me.”

Joseph looked at her. “Can’t you be a little more polite? Apologize to me first.”
