A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 638

Chapter 638

Thanks for offering, but that won’t be necessary!” Cora clearly didn’t trust Joseph.

Even though the treatment at Jenton University Hospital hadn’t gone well, there was at least some good news- Joseph had shown up there earlier. That proved that if anything ever happened to Bernard and Helen, Joseph would hear about it and come running to help them.

The Traditional Medicine Center was practically the Zahns’ territory. Given Cora’s feud with them, bringing her family there would be asking for trouble.

Joseph didn’t push it. Seeing that Fiona had arrived, he asked to speak to her in private, and surprisingly, Cora agreed.

Fiona followed Joseph to his car and said, “If you have something to say, get on with it.”

Joseph asked, “You know who I am to Yara now, right?”

“Look at you. You really think you’re somebody now, huh? Hmph!” Fiona knew perfectly well that Joseph had likely been promoted because he was Yara’s fiance.

“Now she’s got every reason to look down on Joseph!”

“Come on. Why don’t you look at it another way? Yara and I are genuinely in love! And the reason I’m handling all this is to make sure she gets better treatment. Surely you can see that.” Joseph smiled.

Fiona wasn’t pleased. “Did you call me here just to say all that? That’s disgusting!”

“Jealous?”

At those words, she responded with a mocking smile, giving him a look that said, “You wish”-leaving him to figure it out for himself.

Joseph glanced toward Cora’s car and said, “I’ll get to the point. I have a business deal worth millions. Would you be interested?”

“Your project? I doubt it’s worth my time. I’m not interested!”

“You’ve got the wrong idea. Let me be straight. Ms. Sutherland, ever since I met you, I couldn’t help but notice how beautiful and intelligent you are. I need you to do me a little favor-have a child with me. Think about it. He’d have your looks and intelligence.”

“Get lost!”

Fiona was completely dumbfounded. She almost slapped Joseph, but instead, she stormed back to the car. She felt insulted that he would offer her a multimillion-dollar deal to have his baby.

In the car, after learning what had happened, Cora couldn’t help but glance at Joseph before calmly saying, “He may be ugly, but he’s pretty cunning.

“Henry’s really good at changing the subject too. We came here to see Skylar, but Henry didn’t even arrange for us to meet him. He brought up surrogacy instead. Do you even remember why we came here?”

Fiona exclaimed, “He’s just asking for trouble! Doesn’t he know how ugly he is? And he actually wants me to have his baby? Dream on! Just looking at him makes me want to puke!”

Cora replied, “He has Yara backing him up, so his demands just keep getting more and more ridiculous. He keeps pushing to see how far he can go. He’s really pushing his luck!”

Fiona said, “Ms. Lowell, let’s kick him out of the Traditional Medicine Center. We’ll turn Yara against him too. Once he’s got nowhere left to turn, we’ll deal with him.”

“Yara’s done with us. She isn’t going to listen to anything we say about Henry. I find it odd that he just showed up out of nowhere. There might be more to him than we know. We need to look into his background again!”

“Right now? I’m afraid we don’t have the manpower.”
