A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 626

Chapter 626

Joseph said, “I never knew that happened. Why didn’t you report it to the police?”

Mary shook her head. “I couldn’t. If I did, Cora would fire me. I’m just a lowly employee. How could I fight someone as powerful as her? Cora is obsessed with Joseph’s performance in bed, so she would forgive him anyway. I needed that job, so I had no choice but to endure It.”

Joseph asked, “Are you telling the truth?”

Mary answered, “Why would I lie to you when I’m already in this state? You have to find Joseph and teach him a lesson.”

Joseph nodded. “Of course. Anyone who crosses Yara is my sworn enemy.”

Joseph had just asked Mary to tell him what she thought of him. After listening for a while, he realized that Mary truly thought Joseph was trash-a useless freeloader living off his wife.

Even a housekeeper looked down on him this much. The people of the Lowell family definitely thought even less of him.

Was that why Cora was so brazen about fooling around with other men outside?

In her eyes, Joseph was probably a useless lout with no ability or connections-just an incompetent loser living off her.

Once Mary had finished ranting and could no longer offer anything useful, Joseph asked, “Do you still remember Shayna?”

Mary scoffed. “Of course I do. She was bullied by Joseph, too. He supposedly forced himself on her and even used some disgusting, perverted devices to torment her. She hated Joseph terribly.”

That bitch really was intent on throwing every piece of filth she could find at Joseph.

Joseph sneered inwardly. She hated him so much, but she would never know that he was standing right in front of her.

Outwardly, however, he remained calm. “Were you close to Shayna? Have you been in contact with her recently?”

Mary replied, “We kept in touch and see each other quite often. When I was first hospitalized, she even came to visit me. Did you know she changed her name?”

Joseph smiled. “Mona, right? Of course I know. And I also know something you don’t. She did something you’d never have expected. She’s started working with Cora and sold some of Evercrest Industrial’s secrets to her. Do you know what happened to Shayna afterward?”

Mary refused to believe it. “No, that’s impossible. How could she have betrayed Ms. Yara? There’s no way.”

Then Joseph produced some photos of Mona meeting with Cora, followed by images of her after the car accident and during her hospitalization. Mary was so shocked that she couldn’t say a word.

After a while, she looked at Joseph. “Sir, you have to tell Ms. Yara that I’m absolutely loyal to her. I’m not like Shayna. I would never betray Ms. Yara.”

Only then did Mary realize the reason Joseph had sought her out. He was using Shayna’s fate to intimidate her. She hurriedly professed her loyalty, and without realizing it, she had also begun to feel a deep sense of fear and respect toward him.

Joseph said coldly, “You’d better not betray Yara. Otherwise, you’ll suffer the same fate as Shayna.”

en, he pulled out another photograph. It showed Mona after her supposed death, along with an urn containing her cremated remains.

Next, Joseph took out a syringe from his pocket that contained nothing more than saline.

He said calmly, “This is how I deal with traitors. I make sure they die without suffering.”

Mary was terrified. Her eyes bulged as she stared at him, and she hurriedly cried out, “I didn’t betray Ms. Yara! Please, don’t kill me!”

“Hush! Calm down.” Joseph still gave Mary the injection. The sheer terror overwhelmed her, and she ended up wetting herself on the spot.

He continued, “This won’t kill you immediately. But if I don’t come back and give you the antidote within a/ month, your entire body will rot, and you’ll die.”

“I swear I won’t betray Ms. Yara again! I promise!” Mary desperately clung to his words, anxious for a chance to
