Chapter 647
After Cora threatened Joseph, he used it as an excuse to manipulate Yara.
Yara asked what had happened before saying, “No matter what, you can’t take money from Cora’s daughter and then make money from Cora as well. You can’t have it both ways. You’re asking for too much.”
“Cora said she’d get rid of me, and now you’re telling me to back down?” Joseph’s expression darkened.
“Well, we can’t just let that slide! How do you want me to teach her a lesson?” Seeing that Joseph refused to back down, Yara secretly thought he was becoming a nuisance, though she had been irritated with Cora/for a long time.
“You planted someone in the Lowells’ household, didn’t you? Tell me who it is, and I’ll have them kill Cora. She wants to get rid of me, huh? Well, I’ll get rid of her first! Damn her!”
“No way! You can’t just kill her because she threatened you! I won’t let you do this. I can’t even do something like that. If Mr. Zahn Senior finds out about this, he’ll definitely punish us. We’d be in serious trouble.”
“And there’s that old geezer too! We can’t do this or that. He’s so old. Isn’t he sticking his nose into too much? He worries so much about everything. What if he drops dead from it?”
“Henry, have you lost your mind? How could you say something like that? Just shut up, will you? I’m the only one who lets you get away with this. The other Zahns might not be as tolerant!” Yara quickly cut Joseph off. She was completely speechless at how he never seemed to hold his tongue.
Joseph immediately grinned sheepishly and said, “I’ll only ever say that in front of you. It’s just us here, so no one else is going to hear us. Do you really think I’d be foolish enough to say all that in front of your family? We’ve got a good thing going. I know better than to cross you!!!
Satisfied with his answer, she said, “You said Natalie has a red Ferrari that came out three years ago. That must be the one from Skylar’s garage. Get it back from her and return it to my brother.”
“Let me drive it for a while. You said I’m your fiance. If I keep riding a scooter, I’ll just make you look bad.”
“That’s not what I meant. I have my own sports cars too. I can lend you mine.”
“No! You can keep your sports cars. Once you’ve recovered and been discharged from the hospital, you can drive them. I know I can cure you!”
“Henry, kiss me now!” Yara was deeply touched by his words. If she weren’t ill, she would have taken him to bed right then and there.
She had already fallen for Joseph, and her desire for him was growing. Another night of passion would have made it perfect.
“Once you’re discharged from the hospital, take me to see your house and cars.” Joseph was in no hurry to kiss her, but he could barely keep his hands to himself.
“Whatever you say!” Yara was experiencing a strange mix of pain and pleasure as her breathing quickened.
After leaving Yara’s room and returning to his office, he got a call from Natalie. Cora had put her under house arrest and forbade her from leaving.
Natalie had called Joseph and asked him to find a way to get her out. If she didn’t see Skylar for a month, she might never get to see him again. In fact, she might not be able to get another cent from him.
“Got any money? If you can pay me, I’ll help you. Otherwise, I can’t risk crossing your mother again.”

Joseph always made it about money. As long as he wasn’t paid, he wouldn’t do a thing for Natalie.
knew she was money-hungry and wanted to have as much money as Cora. Or rather, she wanted the freedom to spend Cora’s money as she pleased.
