A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 659

Chapter 659

That day, Brenda slipped into his office while Joseph was engrossed in his work.

“Sir, there’s something I need you to arrange for me. I have to go to the ICU to look after Luke.”

Brenda had already started calling Luke by his name, as if she were already his wife.

Of course, Joseph refused, saying, “We can’t just let a family member into the ICU to look after the patient. It’s against the rules.

“Besides, you just had an appendectomy done. You still need treatment and plenty of rest. How are you going to take care of him?”

“But I miss Luke. Please do me a favor and let me in. You know the Zahns don’t have to follow such rules.”

“You’re getting ahead of yourself! But I think I know what you’re worried about. You’re worried you won’t get your share if Mr. Zahn Senior takes Luke’s assets back, right?

“Don’t worry. What’s yours is yours. Mr. Zahn really does love you!” Joseph said. He then came up with an excuse to get Brenda to leave.

Joseph went over the information from his informants and learned that Cora and the Dixons were checking out all the places he had been before. They were trying to find any clues that would lead them to him.

“Why bother? I don’t want to hurt any of you, so stop coming after me. If you don’t back off tomorrow, I’ll make you regret it!”

Joseph decided he was done holding back. He had had enough of the Dixons and anyone who helped Cora. He then switched back to his usual voice and called Lexi, who had been driving.

The moment she heard Joseph’s voice, she immediately pulled over and slammed the brakes, nearly causing the car behind her to rear-end her.

Seeing that Lexi was driving a luxury car, the driver held back his anger and was secretly relieved that he hadn’t actually hit her.

Lexi immediately started recording the call and asked, “Joseph? Where are you?”

“Consider this a warning. And I want you to make sure everyone knows about this too. Anyone who comes to Jenton and chooses to help Cora instead of helping me go after the Zahns will make an enemy of me. And I’ll make you pay for it!”

“Don’t get yourself all worked up. Let’s talk in person.”

“But I don’t want to see any of you. Trust me. You don’t want to see me. If you don’t want to end up like your brother, you’d better think twice.”

Joseph didn’t bother saying anything else and ended the call.

Lexi immediately shared the recording of her conversation with Joseph in the group chat she had with Peyton, Belinda, and the others. Despite being furious, they couldn’t help but feel intimidated by him.

Belinda was especially shaken. She downloaded the recording and went to discuss it with Paula.

Paula let out a sigh and said, “Joseph’s still the same as ever. Nothing can scare him!”

“Joseph was the one who got rid of Barry. There’s nothing he wouldn’t do. And just like Frank’s wife said, Joseph’s

his side.”

“Oh, well. Cora offered you so much. There was no way you could refuse,” Paula said.

Cora had helped Belinda take control of the Townes’ businesses and even invested a huge sum to help the family get through the crisis. That was how Belinda managed to take control of the family.

So many days had passed without anything going wrong. Besides, Joseph often said he was going to become a monk, giving others the false impression that he wanted nothing to do with worldly affairs.

Paula continued, “I’ll reach out to Joseph and talk things over. Since we’ve worked together before, I’m sure we can do it again.’

“Then I’ll leave it to you!”

Paula and Belinda began discussing it in detail.
