A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 650

Chapter 650

You’ll die before I do!” Bernard glared at Joseph. The rage in his eyes seemed ready to consume Joseph whole. “Nonsense! You really think your thugs can kill me? Sorry, but I’ve got my own people looking out for me too!

“Bernard, you’ve really let me down. I thought someone of your level would know better and use your head. I didn’t expect you to resort to violence. You’re getting old, aren’t you? You’re not thinking straight anymore!”

Bernard scowled, seething with rage and frustration. Still, Joseph was right. Bernard was getting old.

Bernard shot back, “You set fire to the Lowell Group headquarters. Cora won’t let you off for that

“Oh, so you know about that too? I’ll tell you what else I did. I was the one who burned down Maroon Mansion!

“You… You’re asking for it!”

“That’s not all! I have a few more surprises in store for Cora and your family. If you want to see what happens next, don’t die just yet!”

As Bernard reached for Joseph’s throat, Joseph grabbed him by the wrist. He tightened his grip slightly, leaving Bernard completely helpless. He then leaned in and whispered a few more things that struck a nerve.

“You… You…” Bernard was clearly provoked. His flushed face turned a deep, dark purple. Blood seemed to rush to his head, and he began to convulse.

When Joseph pulled him up, he could no longer hold back and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Bernard found himself completely drained of energy and glared at Joseph with deep resentment. He wanted to curse Joseph out, but he couldn’t even get a word out.

“You pushed me too far, and there’s only so much I can take! Your family screwed me over this time.

“It was Cora who betrayed me first! If she had agreed to a divorce last year, I wouldn’t have asked for a single cent. But now she’s refusing to agree to a divorce! She even expected me to put up with her shameless behavior! In that case, we’ll just have to settle this the proper way!”

Seeing that Bernard could barely get a word out, Joseph took out a needle and pricked an acupuncture point, letting him drift off to sleep.

By the time the treatment was over, Joseph saw that Bernard’s vital signs were gradually improving, slowly returning to normal.

When Cora heard that Bernard had coughed up blood, she hurried over to the hospital. It was only after seeing the treatment instructions and the improved vital signs that she realized Joseph had saved him.

“Joseph told me about Shayna and the others to keep me busy looking into them. While I was distracted, he came to the hospital to save Dad.

“Does he really not want to see me?” Cora was extremely conflicted. Joseph clearly still had feelings for her, yet he also seemed determined to cut her out of his life.

At 10:00 am, Bernard finally woke up, breathing heavily as if he had been underwater for far too long and was greedily gasping for air the moment he broke the surface.

Helen and Cora hurried over to check on him. Cora called the doctors to examine him, and they found that his condition had improved significantly. It was practically a miracle.

Joseph was getting more and more impressive. Cora was more determined than ever to find him and never let him

After Bernard had everyone else leave the room, he said to Cora, “That bastard said he was the one who set Maroon Mansion on fire. He doesn’t want us to have a moment’s peace!”

“What? It was Joseph who set fire to Maroon Mansion?” Cora stared at Bernard in shock and disbelief

Of all the people in Jenton, Joseph was the last person she would have ever suspected. In that moment, she suddenly realized he had become a very real threat to her, and his betrayal had cut her deeply.
