Charlotte paced back and forth in the room, her stomach burning like fire.“What should I do? I can’t just stay silent like this!”“Miss, please calm down! If we don’t stay quiet now, what else can we do!” Rebecca clung Charlotte’s trembling hands. Charlotte still had feelings for Joseph.“No, I have to do something for Joseph. All of this is because of me!”Faced with Charlotte’s stubbornness, Rebecca didn’t know how to advise her. No matter how many times she said it, Charlotte still insisted on protecting Joseph!“Alright, let’s do this. Let’s ask Anthony for help! Surely he will help us!” Rebecca compromised somewhat.“No, it’s beyond Anthony’s control now! Even if his father agrees to help now, it won’t make any difference!” Charlotte grew increasingly panicked. If it weren’t for her, things wouldn’t have escalated to this point. Joseph fell into this mess because he was protecting her. How could Charlotte just sit idly by!“Fine, I’ll go meet with the leader of the Sprezzatura ga

“Let him go now!”“Immediately apologize to Joseph,” Brain ordered Eric.Upon hearing this, Eric was so enraged that his lungs felt like they would burst. He was a notorious gang leader himself. He didn’t know who the person in front of him was, but that Joseph had beaten his son to a pulp was undeniable.Now, if he let Joseph go, how could he make his subordinates respect and obey him in the future? He couldn’t swallow this anger. His beloved son had suffered such severe beatings that he lost reproductive function. How could he just let it slide?“Brain, this matter is beyond my authority. I cannot comply with your request!”As soon as Eric finished speaking, a loud slap echoed in the air. Brain wasted no time in delivering a resounding blow to the old man’s face.“If I let him go now, how will I answer to my son? And how will I satisfy my pride?”“You have no choice. Immediately release Joseph and his people!” Brain’s face turned red with anger. His fury was clear.Eric felt a bit sh

“Perhaps you don’t believe it, but I am the son of the former leader. My mother was his mistress.” The man’s hands were clasped together, sweat pouring from his palms.Joseph looked at the man in front of him, a hint of skepticism in his eyes. This man was claiming to be an illegitimate son?“He undoubtedly knows of my existence, but refuses to acknowledge it. He abandoned both my mother and me when I was just a baby. In his eyes, there’s only that rebellious son!”“So, you’re willing to kill him?”“Yes, I hate him.” The man’s eyes didn’t hide his resentment.“Please, please help me become the new leader of Sprezzatura. I’m willing to serve you for the rest of my life.”The man knelt down, continuously begging Joseph for help.Joseph remained silent for a moment, his mind filled with various thoughts. He hadn’t wanted to get too involved with the Sprezzatura gang, but fate seemed to have other plans.“What’s your name?”“You can call me Jasper. Jasper Swits.”“Alright, I agree. However

“Charlotte?” As soon as Joseph arrived at the gate of the Smiths’ mansion, he encountered his ex-wife here.Although Charlotte heard Joseph calling her name, she didn’t bother to respond because she was still angry. Her attitude towards him was extremely cold.“My grandfather’s health hasn’t been good lately. You should choose your words carefully!” Charlotte spoke without looking at Joseph.“What do you mean?”“Don’t tell him about our divorce.” Charlotte’s fingernails dug into her expensive leather handbag.Joseph agreed to Charlotte’s request. After all, her grandfather had always treated him well, and the news of their divorce could be told gradually. There was no rush.Charlotte entered the house first, followed by Joseph. It seemed like all the guests had arrived, except for her father.“How shameless! Coming here at this hour!” Mrs. Smith started berating Joseph as soon as he arrived. She looked extremely displeased, and comparing Joseph to Anthony only made things more awkward.

“It’s a frame-up. Clearly this is a frame-up!” Anthony immediately retorted upon hearing Joseph’s accusation.“Are you jealous, so you’re framing me, right? Everyone knows that our family’s company, Anderson, is doing very well. There’s no chance of bankruptcy!” Although Joseph’s words were all true, that didn’t mean Anthony would admit to them.“Whether or not you’re lying, you know yourself. Were you trying to deceive people by fabricating the story about the fake medicine bust to come here and deceive others?” Anthony looked at Joseph with a look of astonishment, clearly showing that this was something the Anderson family had kept very secret. The news had also been strictly confidential, so how could an ordinary person like Joseph know about it? Too many questions raised doubts.Mrs. Smith and her son immediately became defensive when they saw Joseph confront Anthony. In their eyes, Joseph was always the villain, and Anthony was the opposite.“Hey, stop being jealous of Anthony’s f
