A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 657

Chapter 657

It wasn’t until the next day that Joseph found out Katie had been locked up. He learned about it through a post she made on the forum.

“Oh, Cora. Was that really necessary?”

Joseph knew Katie wasn’t in danger, and Cora probably had no idea how unpredictable Kenneth could be once he stopped holding himself back.

He told Kenneth to go to Cora first and ask her to release Katie. If Cora refused, then that would be on her.

For now, Joseph was focused on getting his hands on more of the Zahns’ fortune. Once he had enough money, he could recruit more people and build up his power.

In the process, he also learned more about what Skylar and Yara had done in the past.

One interesting thing Joseph found out was that Owen was also involved with Celestial Farm. Some of the turtles being raised there had actually come from Emerald Mountain.

After Joseph poisoned the reservoir and the fish ponds at Emerald Mountain, the surviving animals were brought over to Celestial Farm to be raised instead.

“Oh, Cora. You were awfully close to people like Jonas. You said you never slept with him and it was all just for show, but who would even believe that?”

Joseph sighed inwardly. He was extremely disappointed in Cora.

He also had enough of this miserable life.

Two days later, while Cora was still locked in a power struggle with the other Lowells for control, Joseph had already taken over almost all of Luke’s personal assets.

But Joseph didn’t transfer all the money into accounts under his own name. Using Yelena’s connections, he spread the money across different accounts.

Even if Luke found out that something was amiss and wanted to trace where the money had gone, it would be really difficult.

In the process, Joseph realized how much fun it was to make money. It was really addictive too.

Human greed really knew no bounds.

Joseph then went to Yara’s hospital room and continued to shower her with affection, making her sink deeper into bliss.

That day, he got an unexpected message from one of his people. Kenneth had failed to get Katie back, so he abducted Helen instead. It was a reckless move, but it worked. Cora had no choice but to let Katie go.

“Cora, do you really think your problems will go away once I come home and live like nothing’s wrong? But I’m rich now. Do I even need you anymore?”

Joseph called Katie to check on her. Once he learned that Cora only locked her up and hadn’t harmed her, he finally relaxed.

But Cora had provoked him by going after one of his people. He wasted no time coming up with a plan to get back at her.

Joseph seized Cora’s allies-a mother and her daughter from the Dixon family-at their villa while they were still asleep. None of them had expected him to come after them in person.

“My wife and I are working out our divorce, and you two helped her get around the asset freeze I put in place. You’re complicating things for me!

“I’d even sent someone to tell you to go home! All in all, you never should’ve come to Jenton. You have no idea what you’re
