A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 719

Chapter 719

“Cora abducted them? Why would she even do that? It’s not like she actually needs the money.

“And now she wants money? Does that even make sense?” Joseph was puzzled. He couldn’t figure out what Cora

was up to.

Yara said, “She did this. That’s exactly her style! She desperately needs money now! She already split from the Lowells, so she’s starting from scratch.

“She needs a lot of capital for that. And this is one way she can get back at Skylar.”

“If it has something to do with Skylar, then it all makes perfect sense. He and Cora are always fighting and making up.

“But Cora and Tessa? They’re rivals. Tessa has given him eight children, both boys and girls, so they have a better chance of taking over his businesses.

“But Cora has only given him three children. Of course, she can’t compete with them. This is between your brother and them. Let them sort it out themselves.”

Joseph was holding back for now. Since Yara and Skylar were eager to get it resolved, he could afford to take his time. Now that Cora was turning on them, he could just sit back and let them tear each other apart while he waited to profit from the fallout.

“Henry, you can’t think of it that way. We’re together, so anything that affects Skylar affects you too.” As expected, Yara began to panic.

“Is that so? But you two treat me like an outsider. Now that you’re both in trouble, you want me to step in and help you? You can’t have it both ways.

“My brother and I are both ill. We’re not fit to handle this ourselves, and we trust you. You have to step in and deal with this. Go talk to Cora and see if you can convince her to let them go.”

“You want me to talk to Cora? I’ll need some leverage. Otherwise, if I go there empty-handed, I might not even get to see her.”

Joseph made one thing clear right away. “There’s no way I’m using the money you have with me. You’ll need it to start over once you’ve recovered.

“Henry, this is an emergency. How could you be worrying about that now?”

“Yara, I need you to understand one thing. That’s what your brother gets for fooling around. We don’t have to get involved, and we don’t have the right to do so.”

“But that’s my brother’s lover and their children.”

“Exactly. Tessa and her children are your brother’s problem. Aren’t Cora and her children your brother’s problem too?

“Tessa and Cora are both tied to your brother. If you help one side, you’ll only hurt the other. In my opinion, we should stay out of this.”

“They’re both my brother’s lovers. That’s why I can’t just stand by and do nothing. It’s hard for me to get around now, so I can’t see Cora myself.

“Only you can do it. Henry, I’m begging you. Please handle this.”

“I can help settle this, but I’m not going to hand over the money. You’d better use Skylar’s private funds.

“Don’t use the money that belongs to us. We may not be married, but whatever money you have now will determine how comfortable we are after we’re married.
