Chapter 41 The Storm
Deborah didn’t say a word for a moment. On the other side, Ashton was very angry and hung up the phone.
Joseph walked to the bedside and sat down. He looked at Deborah with a meaningful gaze. “Ms. Shepherd, I suddenly become more and more interested in you. You seem to be more mysterious than I thought How about we make a deal?”
Deborah said lightly, “Because of Ashton?”
From the first time she saw Joseph at night, she could tell that this man had a conflict with Ashton, and the conflict was not small.
Joseph smiled and said, “Ms. Shepherd, you are really smart. It seems that we are very suitable…”
“Mr. Black, you think too highly of me. Ashton only hates me. I am not as valuable as you think,” Deborah interrupted him and said
bluntly.
Joseph was obviously very confident. “Ms. Shepherd, don’t be in a hurry to come to a conclusion. I never do business where I will lose money. Since I think you are worth it, then you are definitely worth it. Why don’t you listen to my condition first?”
Deborah did not respond. Joseph continued with great interest, “I will help you leave Ashton. I will take you and your daughter in and find the best doctor for you guys. You will have the best medical support. As a condition, you will ruin the Mullen family with me. How
about it?”
Deborah was stunned for a moment and could not help but laugh, ‘Mr. Black, are you
serious?”
A look of displeasure flashed across Joseph’s face. “So, you don’t want to consider it?”
Deborah said honestly. “My daughter can only last for more than a month. There’s no time to find another suitable bone marrow.
“The only bone marrow that can save her life is in Ashton’s body. So, Mr. Black, the best doctors and medical conditions were meaningless to us.”
She only had two choices left. Either give up Alyssa and her life, or beg Ashton to donate his bone marrow.
The former was a little cruel, and the latter had little hope.
Joseph was silent for a long time, and a trace of pity appeared on his smiling face. ‘Fine. The Mullen family is really hateful.”
His plan failed, and he was somewhat disappointed. He was not interested in Deborah, so he got up and left.
Deborah also got out of bed and wanted to find Alyssa.
Just as she took the coat and put it on, her stomach churned again.
She rushed into the bathroom, and the things she vomited were still bloody.
It should be because of her liver problem. Her recent nausea and abdominal pain were becoming more and more frequent, and also
more intense.
After vomiting blood, she really couldn’t hold on much longer. She went back to the bedroom to rest for a while, then went downstairs
to find Alyssa,
Jus
le went downstairs, she heard a loud and abrupt slap.
She looked over and saw an old man with a walking stick in his hand. He retracted his hand and glared at Joseph, who had just been slapped by him.
“Bastard!”
The corner of Joseph’s mouth was bleeding. He raised his hand and slowly wiped it. He laughed in a low voice, “Grandpa, are you sure
you won’t regret beating me up?”
Robert Black said harshly, “How dare you take away Mr. Mullen’s wife and child! Mr. Mullen went to me in the middle of the night. You’ve brought shame to the Black family!”
Joseph looked at Robert with a face full of surprise. “Does the Black family still have a reputation?”
Robert was already angry. Now that Ashton was still standing behind him and watching, his voice was even more annoyed
“What the hell! You’re just an illegitimate child. Don’t think that I don’t know who caused the death of your father’s wife and your brother’s disability!
“Do you really think that you have the final say in the entire Black family? What a joke!”
As soon as he finished speaking. Joseph instructed the housekeeper beside him, “Shawn, Mr. Black gets sick. Send him back to the old house. Tell the people over there to take good care of him.”
The housekeeper brought a few bodyguards forward and dragged Robert out. “Mr. Black, you are tired. Let’s go back to the old house
to rest first.”
Robert’s face was full of resentment. The few servants he brought with him followed out. No one dared to make a sound.
Joseph looked at Ashton and said with deep meaning, “Mr. Mullen, sorry. My grandfather couldn’t intervene in anything in the Black family now.”
Ashton sneered, “I didn’t expect you to be so cold to your grandfather.”
Joseph smiled, “Mr. Mullen, you flatter me. I can’t compare with the Mullen family. My mother’s soul is still in your second uncle’s
house.”
Ashton was obviously extremely angry because of Deborah, but he still approached Joseph calmly.
“Second uncle? That’s your father. He was talking about you two days ago. He missed you very much and said that he treated you like
his own son.”
As expected, Joseph lost his cool and threw a punch at Ashton.
Ashton blocked his fist and raised his hand and threw a punch back.
Ashton started to practice Taekwondo and boxing at the age of three. At the age of seven, he entered the underground boxing arena. Later, he took over the Mullen Group when he reached adulthood. He wanted to establish the image of a gentle and refined businessman, so he almost never went to boxing arenas again.
If he really wanted to fight, even the professional bodyguards he brought with him were not his match.
In comparison, Joseph had never learned these professional skills. He was wild and had been fighting with the hooligans on the street since he was a child. His attacks were ruthless, and it was difficult for anyone to beat him.
They fought for a while.
