Joseph turned to the person who had just called his name loud and clear. He saw Trisha walking from the reception desk to approach him.

Trisha was dressed in black formal wear and had stockings on her legs and heavy makeup on her face. At this moment, she was looking at Joseph with a sardonic gaze.

"Joseph, you came late on your first day of work. Then your attendance pay will be deducted! Hurry up and sign this paper!" said Trisha. Apparently she had been waiting for Joseph's presence, and counted Joseph's tardiness even if it was only one minute.

Trisha handed over a paper agreement for Joseph's salary deduction due to his lateness.

Joseph was surprised. "Doesn't work start at 8am? I'm not late, but on time. It's 8 o'clock right now."

"8am? Who told you that?!" Trisha looked at Joseph sarcastically.

"It is written in the rules of the employment contract that I signed yesterday, that working hours will start from 8am to 5pm," Joseph replied. He had read through the entire employme

    "Okay," Joseph replied. He nodded his head while carrying the documents and left the office. "Even though he looks like a cleaning service, he's very compassionate. Why did Trisha treat him so harshly? What did Joseph do wrong?" Some employees wondered about Trisha's rude attitude towards Joseph, who was a new employee. They wondered what grudge Trisha had in her heart to treat Joseph so badly. After that, Trisha went to her boss's room. "Mr. Alvaro, I have sent Joseph out of the office. I also did a lot of work on him today," Trisha said with a winning smile. "Good job!" Alvaro replied after he took a sip from the cup of coffee on his desk. "So, did you ask Joseph to go to hospital X?" Alvaro asked for confirmation.Trisha nodded."HAHA! The manager-director of hospital X named Doctor Liam is very difficult to work with. Two days ago I went there to ask him to cooperate, but he refused me. And I've given up on him."Alvaro smiled coldly. Hospital X or the new name Rose Hospital w

    Doctor Liam's whole body trembled. He immediately said, "I'm sorry, young master, because yesterday I did not immediately realize that you are the son of Mr. Guezz. I'm sorry, young master." Doctor Liam repeatedly apologized to Joseph while bowing his body towards Joseph. Joseph's authoritative bearing at this time was very much in line with what Doctor Liam had imagined. Like the authority of a person who has a high position.Joseph was very calm, as if everything in front of him was not a problem. Doctor Liam thought back to Lucky. Lucky's character was very different from Joseph. "No problem," said Joseph who did not mind Doctor Liam's words. Joseph sat on the guest sofa that was already available in Doctor Liam's room, while Doctor Liam immediately poured a glass of tea and gave it to Joseph respectfully, "Mr. Joseph, please drink this tea."At this moment, Doctor Liam was still feeling tense. How could he not be tense? Because the man he thought was just an ordinary man, turn

    "WHAT? That poor guy got a contract with Rose Hospital?" asked Alvaro to confirm something he had heard from his manager, Trisha.Alvaro opened the signed contract document with surprise. "How is that possible? Shit! I gave Doctor Liam money yesterday so that he would accept my invitation to work together. But he still refused, but look at him now! He accepted Joseph's invitation!""This is unbelievable, Sir. But this signature and seal belong to Doctor Liam, and it's genuine, it can't be forged," Trisha said. "That poor guy is really lucky!" Alvaro said while gritting his teeth. "Mr. Alvaro, I also feel that Joseph was just lucky. It's all because of you, if you hadn't been there so many times maybe Joseph's invitation to cooperate would have been rejected too. Maybe Doctor Liam felt sorry for our company who had been there repeatedly and invited them to work together, so Joseph's request was immediately accepted!" Trisha kept looking for loopholes to find Joseph's shortcomings and

    "By the way, don't tell Joseph that I'm the boss of this company. We'll play him slowly first!" Alvaro said to Trisha."Ok, Boss." Trisha replied with sparkling eyes because she agreed with Alvaro's words to play with Joseph. Trisha took the car keys, and she went out of the room.At that moment, Joseph was in his work chair. Trisha came over to Joseph. She didn't stop smiling at Joseph. "Joseph, because on your first day of work you managed to get a contract signed, so as a token of appreciation, the MedVit company gifted you a civic car!" Trisha said with a smile. Trisha took out the car keys from her shirt pocket, and she placed them on Joseph's desk. "This car is already a luxury for you, even though it's an old civic." Trisha seemed to be insulting Joseph that he was only worthy of an old one.All the employees looked at Trisha and Joseph. They must have heard Trisha's words of gifting the old civic to Joseph. "Isn't that the old civic that's been parked on the ground floor f

    Joseph stroked his wife's head gently. "I'm likely to lose my job," Katty replied sadly. "Some of the company's major clients have made off with some money, and the funds already spent can't be recovered in a short time. The company can't afford to return that much money. That's about 10000$ dollars," Katty continued to explain the problem. "If the company can't return that much money, then our company will be declared bankrupt! And I'll lose my job..." Katty explained still sobbing. She couldn't hold back her tears. All Katty could think about was that if she lost her job, there would be no income to support her and Joseph's household. Joseph hugged his wife again. He said, "It was just a matter of money." Joseph responded trivially. For him, money problems were easy to solve, because he already had a lot of money. Joseph smiled and said again, "Honey, something that can be solved with money cannot be called a problem."Katty was confused and surprised by her husband's trivial r

    Victoria's face was cynical and full of anger towards Joseph. However, she did not let her anger out, "Never mind! It's none of my business. Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's go on a date!" They had a dinner date for four, then Victoria took Katty to the mall to shop for clothes. Joseph and Alex also followed them. "Honey, this dress is so beautiful!" Katty said to Joseph when she saw a beautiful dress behind a glass display case attached to a statue. Katty's eyes lit up when she saw the purple dress. Purple was her favorite color. She reached out and touched the dress. Katty seemed unwilling to let go. "Buy it if you like it," Joseph said to his wife."No, I don't. It's too expensive. It's 500$ dollars!" said Katty. When she checked the price, she seemed disappointed. 500$ dollars was a lot for her, especially since her salary had been cut because the Victorian company she worked for was going through a financial crisis."It's okay, Honey. It's only 500$ dollars!" Joseph repl

  • I AM NOT A POOR SON-IN-LAW   CHAPTER 27-JOSEPH'S RESPONSE

    "What are you saying? What do you mean to forbid us from holding this dress if we don't buy it? We came to this shop but are not allowed to touch this dress?" Joseph looked at the shop lady with a cold gaze. He felt very insulted that the shop lady was not friendly in serving her customers. "You can't touch the dress, especially you!" the waitress named Sheila pointed at Joseph with a disgusted look. She said, "Look at the clothes you're wearing, they're so shabby! I know they're very cheap! It's obvious you and your wife can't afford this expensive dress."Sheila said arrogantly. Hearing Sheila's words, Katty was just as angry and offended as Joseph. This was the first time Katty had met a waitress who was rude to a customer. "What happened?" said Victoria. She and Alex immediately approached them after the commotion. "They are my friends. Why can't they buy this dress?" Alex asked Sheila. Alex raised his hand and showed the Rolex watch on his wrist deliberately and he looked sar

    Alex couldn't deny Joseph's reply anymore."Joseph, if it wasn't for me, you would have been kicked out of here!" Alex said while glaring at Joseph. Alex shook his head helplessly, Joseph was a true loser in his eyes.Joseph didn't care about Alex's words or stares. He looked at Katty, "Honey, try on that dress. You'll look good in it."Just as Katty was about to take the dress, a woman's voice was heard. "Wow! This dress is so beautiful!""Sorry, Miss. I'm the one who saw this dress first," Katty politely told the woman."Then, what if you were the first to see this dress? You haven't paid for it yet, right? Then I'll buy this dress!" The woman said very arrogantly.She was wearing a miniskirt that showed off her slender thighs. She was wearing a sexy dress with an open collar. She looked like an actress. Her face was also made up with thick makeup."Honey, I love this dress. Let's pay quickly!" the woman yelled at someone.Not long after that, a man came up to her. He was about 40 y

    CHAPTER 845-THE END

    In the Hospital Corridor The hospital corridor felt eerily quiet, though the sound of medical staff's footsteps and the occasional beeping of machines broke the silence. Joseph sat on a long bench, gripping his phone tightly, his mind wandering far. Occasionally, he took deep breaths, trying to calm himself. Mr. Barta patted his son-in-law’s shoulder. "Katty is a strong woman. Trust me, she’ll be fine." Before Joseph could respond, the cry of a baby suddenly echoed from the operating room. He immediately stood up, his face filled with happiness. The operating room door opened, and a doctor stepped out, removing their mask. "Mr. Joseph?" the doctor called. "Yes, Doctor?" "Congratulations, Mr. Joseph. Your son has been born." Those words made Joseph feel like a great weight had been lifted from him. He couldn’t contain his wide smile. "Thank you, Doctor. Thank you so much!" Mr. Barta raised his hands in the air. "My grandson!" he cheered. Ten minutes later, Joseph w

    Then.... The sound of rapid gunfire echoed through the air! Joseph stood motionless, calmly waiting amidst the chaos. Heavy footsteps reverberated across the room. Members of the G Alliance emerged from the front door, their rifles still warm from their shots. They had taken down all of Ramond’s soldiers with flawless precision, moving like machines devoid of mercy. The G Alliance members had long trained to shoot in complete darkness, even with their eyes closed. This level of skill now allowed them to dominate their enemies despite the pitch-black conditions. “Turn on the lights,” Joseph ordered curtly, his voice authoritative. Ultra-bright flashlights snapped on, instantly illuminating the room. The light revealed a gruesome scene: twenty of Ramond’s soldiers lay lifeless on the floor, their blood pooling beneath them. The stench of gunpowder mixed with blood filled the air, causing Ramond to cough as he scanned the horrifying aftermath with fear and rage. “You…” Ram

    CHAPTER 843-IN THE DARKNESS

    Jennifer stood frozen in place, her body trembling, her once graceful face now etched with frustration and despair. Slowly, her hand moved to the folds of her dress, drawing out a small pistol that gleamed under the dim light. All eyes locked onto her—Joseph remained silent, his gaze as cold as ice, while Ramond sneered with a smug grin, full of disdain and mockery. Zako, usually quick to act, now watching with a mix of anxiety and helplessness. Jennifer raised the pistol to her head, her hand shaking uncontrollably. "This is all my fault..." she whispered, her voice barely audible. Tears streamed down her cheeks, but no one moved to stop her. She lifted her head slightly, her tear-filled eyes meeting Joseph's. Yet, there was no response from her son—no empathy, no hesitation, just a chilling, unyielding silence. Jennifer’s gaze grew vacant. Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes, and without warning, the sharp crack of a gunshot shattered the silence. Her body crumpled t

    The dim light from the chandelier cast sharp shadows across Joseph’s cold face. His eyes scanned the room sharply, observing each person within it. Jacky tried to speak, but no sound escaped his lips. He was barely hanging on, his life slipping away. Joseph glanced briefly at Jacky before redirecting his focus to the three figures before him. Jennifer abruptly stood, clutching a nearly empty wine glass in her trembling hand. Her face was pale, and though she tried to mask her nerves, her shaking fingers betrayed her unease. Ramond, in contrast, lounged casually in his chair, legs crossed as if there were nothing to worry about. Meanwhile, Zako appeared far more alert, his eyes darting between Joseph and the exit. “So,” Joseph’s deep, cold voice shattered the silence, “I come here and find myself... entertained by quite the show.” Jennifer quickly drank the rest of her wine, trying to steady herself. But as Joseph’s gaze locked onto hers, she froze. The woman, typically full

    The room was dark and empty. Only the sound of Jacky’s footsteps echoed, filling the oppressive silence. His eyes scanned every corner, his pistol aimed forward, ready for any threat. But there was nothing—no Ramond, no Jennifer, no Zako. Only the cold air brushing against his skin like an invisible menace.Jacky growled, kicking over an old wooden chair that lay in the middle of the room. “Damn it! They escaped!” he yelled, his anger burning hot. He rubbed his temples, trying to steady the frustration boiling inside him. But before he could plan his next move, something unexpected happened.Out of nowhere, a coarse cloth wrapped tightly around his face. Someone yanked a bag over his head, cutting off his vision entirely.Jacky struggled, punching and thrashing, but his attacker was strong. Two firm hands restrained him with precision. Within seconds, he was forced into a chair, his body tied down with ropes that quickly bound his wrists and ankles.“Who are you?!” Jacky shouted, his

    In the basement...The damp atmosphere clung to the space, making the air feel oppressively heavy.At the center of the room stood an old wooden table strewn with papers and maps. In one corner, Ramond sat on a worn-out chair, dressed in a faded shirt. Despite his simple appearance, his chilling aura remained unmistakable.The creaking of the wooden door broke the silence. Jennifer appeared, carrying two large bags filled with food supplies and water bottles. Her once-elegant dress now looked slightly disheveled, as if the long journey to this hidden place had drained her energy."Ramond," she said softly, lowering the bags onto the floor. "I brought food and necessities to last you a few days. I hope it’s enough."Ramond lifted his head, a faint smile forming on his lips—a smile that was both calming and enigmatic. "My darling," he greeted her warmly, his tone as smooth as ever. "You never fail to impress me."Jennifer lowered her gaze, avoiding his penetrating stare.Ramond rose fro

    CHAPTER 839-WALK INTO THE BUSHES

    Ramond was a name well-known among the global elite, not only for his ruthlessness but also for his uncanny ability to manipulate. However, behind the mask of power he always wore, there was a hidden truth: Ramond owned nothing. Everything—his wealth, assets, and the networks he wielded—belonged to Jennifer. A woman trapped in her blind love for Ramond for years, she had made him a symbol of power in the eyes of the world.Jennifer’s love became a vulnerability that Ramond exploited without hesitation. He played his role flawlessly, presenting himself as a charismatic yet dangerous leader within the global elite circles. Jennifer even elevated him to the position of leader of the global elite, ensuring that all resources were at his disposal. Under his influence, many leaders in the network were willing to take extreme measures to achieve their objectives—whether it was dominating specific economic sectors, manipulating politics, or mercilessly destroying rivals.Ramond became a symbo

    CHAPTER 838-AFTER THAT...

    Joseph stood abruptly and said nothing. He cast a cold glance at his mother before turning and walking away. His firm steps echoed as he exited the grand mansion, with Gawali silently following close behind. The tense atmosphere was palpable, yet not a word was spoken between them until both Joseph and Gawali were inside the sleek black car. Once the car door shut, Joseph leaned back, staring straight ahead with an expressionless face. Gawali, seated in the driver’s seat, finally broke the silence, his tone cautious. “Sir, should I contact Interpol immediately? If Ramond is truly involved in your grandfather’s death, we can make him an international fugitive.”“No need,” Joseph interrupted, his tone decisive. “I’ll find him myself. I’ll deal with him personally. No one else is allowed to interfere until I’m satisfied.”Gawali gave a slight nod, understanding it wasn’t the time to argue.Joseph added, “Contact Jacky.”“Tell him to prepare the team. I need them ready for my next orders

    CHAPTER 837-BIG SECRET

    The grand mansion was silent, with only the sound of Joseph and Gawali's footsteps echoing against the marble floors.Joseph stepped into the vast living room, its high ceilings adorned with sparkling crystal chandeliers.At the center of the room stood a golden sofa, strikingly prominent amidst the luxurious Persian carpet surrounding it.Joseph’s eyes immediately caught the figure of a woman standing near the large window. Jennifer, draped elegantly in white satin pajamas, stood poised as she gazed out. Her neatly combed hair reflected the faint light from the chandelier, and her face remained expressionless as usual.Joseph exhaled deeply, throwing himself onto the golden sofa with a casual yet calculated demeanor. He crossed one leg over his knee and stared at his mother with a mocking gaze.“So, my mom is still the same as ever,” he said sharply. “will awake when hear commotion.”Jennifer turned slowly, her expression betraying no reaction to his jab. With measured grace, she app
