A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 714

Chapter 714

Besides, Joseph was holding a large sum of Skylar and Yara’s money. If he were to switch sides, they would be in serious trouble. She needed to keep Joseph on her side.

Joseph would never believe anything Yara told him, but all he said was, “Does Skylar have any other children besides those eight kids?”

“Yes.” Yara studied Joseph’s expression again and noticed he seemed perfectly calm. She suspected he might know more than he was letting on.

Since Joseph already knew about Skylar’s eight children with Tessa, Yara figured she might as well tell him about the others.

Yara asked, “Could you tell me why you’re asking all this?”

“His lover came to me and asked me to let her see Skylar. Of course. She wanted some money so she could support their children.”

“How much did she ask for? If it’s not a lot, just give it to her. They’re my brother’s children. That makes them our family.”

“Money is not the problem. It’s about trust. I need to know the truth and what’s really going on.

“I’m sure you and Skylar have done plenty of shady stuff over the years. It’s too risky for me to get involved with you without knowing the full story.

“Yara, if you don’t believe me, I’m not giving out a single cent of the money you gave me. If this thing ever falls apart, I can still turn to Mr. Zahn Senior and swear my loyalty to him. That money will be what keeps me alive.”

“Henry, you… You can’t do that. That money belongs to Skylar and me.” Yara was caught off guard. She never expected Joseph to say something like that.

“I never said the money’s not yours. But none of you trust me. That’s why I can’t touch it.”

“Henry, I love you. I love you with all my heart. You can’t keep doubting me like this. I won’t let you betray me.” “I love you too. I’ll never betray you, but you’re keeping things from me and acting like you can’t trust me.

“That’s why I have to protect myself too. Since you say you love me, tell me everything you and Skylar have done in the past.”

“There are things I can’t tell you. I’m doing this for your own good.”

“For my own good? Wow. I’m touched. If you can’t tell me anything, I’ll just assume you’ve got some money stashed away elsewhere.

“In that case, I’m not letting you have a single cent of the money you have with me unless it’s absolutely necessary.”

“Henry, we’re lovers. I love you. We can’t keep doubting each other like this.”

Yara let out a sigh and said, “Besides the eight children you already know about, Skylar has a few others. “We’ve shown you his businesses in Jenton and elsewhere. He put people he trusted in charge of them. To keep those women from turning against him, he figured the best way was to have children with them.”

Joseph wasn’t going to take her word for it. He made her give him the specifics so he could look into it. He figured

she wasn’t lying when she brought up the two sets of twins at Sunnybrook Estates.

Besides, Joseph already knew plenty. There was no reason for Yara to keep lying to him.
