That evening, Joseph invited Cora to a meal, and she accepted. She even brought him a gift. It was a newly launched villa worth five million dollars.
Cora teased, “Would it be too much if I started calling you Mr. Zahn now?”
Joseph responded, “There’s still one step left, and it’s the most important step. It hasn’t been carried out yet. So, calling me Mr. Zahn would be getting ahead of ourselves.”
Joseph laughed, but he accepted Cora’s gift. It might have been a villa, but the property development belonged to her, and the business had already been incorporated into Hart Group. Technically speaking, it was also one of his company’s assets.
He added, “You really do have excellent sources. You even have people in Emerald Mountain, don’t you?”
Cora neither admitted nor denied it. She replied, “Money is everything. Information has always followed money. Once you have money, you can get your hands on all kinds of things.
“Maybe saying ‘money is everything’ is a little too absolute, but without money, you lose everything. Even if you manage to obtain something, you won’t be able to hold on to it.”
Joseph nodded. “I don’t have money, so even the things I have now could eventually slip away. Now that your husband has money, he can easily win back the heart of Yara, the heart that should have belonged to me in the first place.”
Cora complained, “Everything about this meal was going perfectly until you brought up my husband and Yara.”
Cora frowned. The smile on her face disappeared. She had tried contacting Joseph to get a clear answer about his relationship with Yara, but she hadn’t heard a single thing from him. It made her feel as though he was blaming her for punishing Yara.
She had done what she believed needed to be done, yet somehow, she had ended up feeling as though she were the one who had made a mistake.
Joseph asked, “What if I told you that Dr. Hart has already been to Traditional Medicine Center? He even secretly performed a surgery on Yara. Are you going to flip the table?”
Cora was shocked. “What? My husband went to your hospital and performed surgery right under your nose? Why didn’t you tell me?”
Sensing Cora’s displeasure, Joseph explained, “You had plenty of chances to get rid of Yara, but you never did. You were trying to draw Dr. Hart out. I have my own reasons for keeping Yara alive. So, I deliberately left an opening and allowed him and his team to sneak into the hospital.”
Cora questioned, “Why didn’t you tell me? Didn’t you know I was looking for him?”
Joseph answered, “If Dr. Hart wants to see you, he’ll come to you on his own. If he doesn’t want to see you and you keep forcing him, aren’t you worried he’ll turn against you? Of course, he wouldn’t hurt you, but what about your family? He took your mother away last time. Where do you think he put her?”
“Where?” Cora asked with a frown. She looked at Henry, who seemed calm. She couldn’t help feeling surprised. He was no longer the same inexperienced man he had once been. It seemed like he had become someone new

every day.
“In Jenton Psychiatric Hospital,” answered Joseph. He had placed Helen there. No matter how hard Cora searched, she never would have thought to look there.
“How did you know?” Cora questioned, her brow furrowing. Jenton Psychiatric Hospital was a psychiatric hospital. What ordinary person would ever think to look there?
Joseph stated, “By now, every medical institution in Jenton has been incorporated into my medical sect’s database. That includes the major hospitals, smaller hospitals, and clinics. If something happens anywhere in that field, one might be able to hide it from me for a while, but one can’t hide it forever.”
“It looks like I’ll have to start looking at you differently,” responded Cora. Her expression gradually softened, and a charming smile returned to her face.
Cora thought for a moment before adding, “It looks like you’re about to have two celebrations at once. You’ll become the head of the medical sect, and you’ll also marry Owen’s beloved daughter.”
