A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 621

Chapter 621

Joseph took out the phone he was using under Henry’s identity and checked his unread messages. He discovered that Cora had contacted him several times, especially after someone had poisoned people at the Lowell Group. She wanted him to find Joseph, promising him a large sum of money once he did. In fact, she said he could name his own price.

He also saw messages from Natalie, asking him to arrange another opportunity for her to see Skylar.

After thinking it over, he replied to Natalie that he would get her into Skylar’s hospital room right away if she paid him ten million dollars.

Natalie didn’t refuse, but she didn’t agree either. Instead, she asked to meet in person.

Not long after that, the two of them met in the parking lot outside Lowell Group.

It was raining that day. Natalie stood beside Joseph’s car, holding an umbrella, and immediately demanded, Where the hell have you been all these days? I’ve tried contacting you so many times. Why didn’t you answer?”

Joseph replied, “Your biological father was trying to kill me, so I went into hiding to avoid trouble.”

Then, he couldn’t resist adding, “If everything had gone according to plan, I’d be your uncle-in-law by now.”

Natalie was Skylar’s daughter, while Yara was Skylar’s younger sister. By that logic, Natalie really would be Joseph’s niece-in-law.

And Cora, by the same reasoning, should have called Joseph her brother-in-law.

Whether Jenton was in chaos or not was up to Joseph. Whether the Zahn family was in a mess or not was up to Henry.

Natalie frowned, clearly having no intention of acknowledging that label. She wasn’t about to give him that satisfaction.

Joseph quickly added, “But Yara and I broke up, so you don’t get to be my cheap little niece anymore. Since we’re no longer tied by family, we’re just business partners. If ten million is too much for you, go find someone else.”

Natalie said, “If I could find someone else, I wouldn’t be coming to you in the first place. You’re such a heartless bastard. I’ve never seen someone as greedy as you. Since I’m a returning customer, you should at least give me a discount. Two million, and I’ll transfer it to you right now.”

Natalie was furious, but she had no choice. Over the past few days, she’d tried all sorts of ways to get into the hospital. She even disguised herself as a nurse, but she’d been caught every time. She simply couldn’t get close enough to see Skylar.

That was when she realized Henry’s value. He might be ugly, but he got the job done.

Joseph scoffed. “I’m asking for ten million, and you’re offering just two? Do you think I’m a beggar? Just look in a mirror. You’re Skylar’s biological daughter, the eldest daughter of the Zahn family. You’re the eldest daughter of Jenton’s richest woman, Cora Lowell, and the future successor of the Lowell Group.

“You need to broaden your horizons. I won’t accept anything less than ten million. Otherwise, I won’t bring you in.

Joseph had no intention of indulging Natalie. If she was going to be so stingy with her money, he would force her to hand it all over.

Natalie immediately began insulting Joseph, venting her frustration. “Then there’s nothing to discuss. Just stay poor, you idiot. There’s a fortune sitting right in front of you, but you refuse to take it. Your intelligence is just as bad as your looks.”

She couldn’t stand the thought of him getting the upper hand. If Joseph were to come out ahead, she would be the one suffering for it.

Joseph sneered. “Ms. Zahn, you’re already in danger, yet you don’t realize it. You’re still dreaming about inheriting both the Zahn and Lowell families. Well, the world is full of variables. A few days ago, I was Yara’s boyfriend, just a step away from reaching the peak of my life. And now? I’m nothing.”.

He leaned closer. “The same thing could happen to you.”
