A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 763

Chapter 763

Joseph was a man of his word, so he really did send Yara back to Emerald Mountain. She was furious but didn’t dare say a word. Despite being a bundle of nerves, she still had to keep up a calm facade.

At Emerald Mountain, not only was Yara forbidden from leaving, but Beth couldn’t leave either. The two of them could only stay inside the modest house.

“Ms. Zahn, it’s peaceful and quiet here, which makes it a good place to recuperate. Just focus on getting better. Once you’re better, Mr. Zahn will surely give you back your freedom.”

Beth tried to reassure Yara. Now that she was even more loyal to Joseph, she naturally took his side.

“He’ll give me back my freedom? Maybe in my dreams!”

After watching Joseph leave, Yara gnashed her teeth in anger.

“Ms. Zahn, if he sees you like this, he’ll definitely hit you again.”

“Hmph!”

When Yara spotted Rhea up ahead, she quickly sent Beth downstairs to invite her up. Rhea was already heading her way because she’d heard Joseph was back.

She smoked like a pro, a look of pure satisfaction on her face. Those cigarettes were a special product made to satisfy her addiction.

“Where’s Henry?” Rhea asked.

“He left. He could be back later tonight, but there’s a chance he won’t come back at all. Anyway, I wanted to talk to you.

“It’s been so many days. Why didn’t you leave this place to see us? You’re just going to get married without taking the time to get to know him and form a bond first? Is that really okay?”

“A bond? What would I want a bond for? He gives me drugs and satisfies me. That’s all I need. Why would I ever want a bond? Pfft!”

Rhea was about to offer Yara a cigarette when she remembered that Henry was a doctor. If Yara got hooked on this stuff, he’d definitely come after her about it. Not wanting to stir up unnecessary trouble, she dropped the idea.

“What I mean is, you should spend more time with Henry. That way, you can get to know him better and eventually have more control over him.

“What if one day he stops giving you the drugs and refuses to satisfy your addiction? What will you do then? Knowing him, if you let him call the shots in your relationship, he’ll definitely make you quit sooner or later.”

“Oh, is he that kind of person?”

“He is. You have no idea who you’re dealing with. He’s much harder to handle than you imagine.”

“I’m not worried. He can’t escape my dad’s control. With my dad backing me, I’ll make him regret it if he doesn’t do as I say.”

“Well, that’s perfect then! Since he’s not a part of the main family, he has to listen to the people from the main family.”

“I don’t care about the relationship between the branch and the main family. All I want is for him to obey me and keep me satisfied. As long as he keeps me happy, I’d even call him ‘Daddy’!”

“You…”

Yara was speechless. Thinking about Henry’s “assets”, which were nothing to sneeze at, Yara believed Rhea might really end up calling him daddy.

That afternoon, in the hospital office, the Byers family’s company was in talks with Joseph about pharmaceutical business.

They were extremely unhappy about his plan to end their pharmaceutical purchasing, inventory, and distribution operations. After all, the Zahn medical sect controlled most of the hospitals in Jenton.

They were willing to pay Joseph a sum of money to change his mind, but what they didn’t realize was that once Joseph had gotten a taste of money and power, there was no stopping him.

Besides, Joseph needed more money and more power to go up against the Zahn family, Cora, and the others.
