A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 782

Chapter 782

Cora asked with a frown, “Why are you testing all those theories? Don’t you think that’s a terrible thing to do?”

“I’ll agree to disagree! In my opinion, success comes to those who are willing to work for it. As long as we’re committed to doing what’s right, work hard, and see things through to the end, we’ll eventually succeed. The medical sect will unlock the secret to longevity!”

Joseph then pulled out another three photos. They were photos of Cora found in the album of pretty women.

He said, “Rachel scouted for young, beautiful women in Jenton, wanting them to have children for the Zahns.

“Back then, she already set her sights on you. Now I understand why Skylar and Yara wanted you to have his children.

“Thanks to his mother’s influence, Skylar went on to have more than a dozen children. To them, the more children, the better.”

“Damn them!”

Cora banged her fists on the table, feeling sick to the stomach. A chill ran down her spine. She never imagined that someone had been targeting her back then. All these years, she had been under their control, with no say over her own life.

What Skylar had done had completely ruined her. Those kids should have been hers and Joseph’s, but Skylar ended up using her to have children of his own.

But Cora would never admit it. She could never accept that truth.

She was infuriated. In fact, she was so upset that she wanted to kill Skylar and Yara.

Cora asked, “What will it take for you to hand Skylar and Yara over to me? I’m going to kill them!”

“Yara’s at Emerald Mountain right now, and she’s my wife too. I can’t hand her over to you. As for Skylar, he’s practically a dead man already. What’s the rush?”

As Joseph spoke, he felt her gaze turn cold with suspicion. He held the cup in his hand, completely unfazed, and asked with a grin, “What’s up?”

“If you hadn’t brought up your relationship with Skylar and Yara, I’d have almost forgotten that Yara’s your wife. Why would you even give me information that could ruin them?” Cora asked. Now she was beginning to wonder if his intel was even real.

“Did you really think Yara was willing to marry me? Of course not. She’s in love with Dr. Hart, the man who came to treat her twice.

“Once Yara’s recovered enough, she plans to leave the mountain and find Dr. Hart. She’s my wife, but she doesn’t even love me.

“Besides, there’s actually another reason Owen agreed to let Yara marry me. It’s something none of you knows about.”

“What is it?” Sure enough, Cora wanted to know.

“I shared all those secrets with you not only because we’re working together. It’s also because they involve you.

“But if you want to know more about the Zahns, you’ll have to give me something in return. I want the dirt you have on all the big shots in Jenton.”

“Oh? What are you up to?” Cora asked.

“I have my use for it. That’s all I’m saying!”

Of course, Joseph was up to something. At some point, he would have to settle the score with Cora, so he needed enough leverage to make her back down when the time came.

No matter what Cora said, Joseph would never tell her about Rachel being poisoned to death. There was no evidence to back it up, and he couldn’t just take Skylar’s word for it.

He asked, “Where’s Fiona? She hasn’t come to the hospital for treatment, and she hasn’t been in touch with me either. Did you send her away?”
