2024-10-29 19:42:56"I've come across people like you many times! Usually, people like you would lie to me and then steal jewelry!" The female employee named Selen gave Joseph a sharp look.
Joseph was dumbfounded. He nodded and tried to confirm that he was not a thief.
Joseph took out his black card and placed it on the display case, "Quick, swipe the card!"
"This is..." Selen's eyes were glued to the black card, her expression looking very tense. At first, she thought she had seen the wrong thing, but then she thought for a moment, and her eyes rounded wide. She could hardly believe it. "This is...the black card with the highest limit!"
"It's a black card from the World Bank! How is that possible?" The employee didn't expect it at all. "Global Supreme Black Card, with a credit limit of one hundred billion and no interest!"
"Yes, you're right. You can trust me now that this card is mine. Quickly get a set of jewelry for me, and I will pay for it using the balance on this card," Joseph said.
"Ah, yes, Sir," Selen said quickly. Selen sprang into action, grabbing the small machine and swiping the black card with trembling hands. Then, Joseph entered his birthday password.
The machine beeped, signaling a successful transaction.
"WOW, this is his card!" said Selen to herself. She had no idea that Joseph was such a rich man.
Selen immediately gave his wife the box of jewelry that Joseph had bought for her. Joseph took the jewelry box.
***
Joseph prepared to go to his wife's office. Katty worked as an accountant in a financial company in the city. Her monthly income was about 200,000 dollars. Although her salary was very high, because she used the money for daily household needs, Katty could not save much.
About 20 minutes later, Joseph arrived at the office where Katty worked.
Inside Katty's room, a conversation took place between her and an old friend of hers.
"Katty, we were classmates in university about five years ago, and we've known each other ever since. What I just said is for your good," said a woman in front of Katty.
The woman was dressed in formal brown clothes, with black hair arranged behind her head. Her makeup was not too thick, and her face looked beautiful. Her body exuded an aura of great authority.
Victoria Therz was the CEO of the Therz company where Katty was working. She was advising Katty to divorce Joseph and marry a richer man.
"What do you think Joseph has in common? He's just a pain in the ass," Victoria said. She continued, "You've been married for almost a year. Yet, he hasn't given you anything. Including jewelry. Is he a real man? He doesn't even have a steady job yet."
"Victoria, Joseph loves me. Don't say that about him." Katty pursed her lips. She looked upset.
"Katty, how old are you? Why are you so innocent? You really believe in love?" Victoria sneered. She folded her arms over her chest and said again to Katty, "These days, there's money and then there's love. Without money, how can you strengthen your love? Can a poor man like Joseph give you happiness with love alone?"
"Victoria..." Katty was about to argue, but Victoria interrupted her first. "For example, one of the men who pursued me was the son of Andrew Maxim, a prominent company owner in this city. He gave me a luxury car just to get my love."
"Even though I have no feelings for him, what he gave me was a luxury car. As for Joseph, he's useless. He can't give you anything! Is he qualified to give you love?" Victoria continued.
"Katty, you are very beautiful. Better divorce Joseph and marry a rich man!" Victoria concluded.
"Victoria, I'm not interested in fancy cars and wealth. I just like being with Joseph and living a simple life. Joseph is very good to me." Katty looked serious in her answer.
Katty continued, "Victoria, we are good friends. I don't want to hear you ask me to divorce Joseph again. I don't want to break our friendship just because of this." Katty's tone sounded firm, earnest, and not pretending.
Victoria did not speak again. She sighed. She just didn't understand what Joseph had that made Katty love him so much.
"Miss Victoria, there is a man named Joseph outside. He says he is Katty's husband. He wants to come in and see Katty," said Victoria's assistant who suddenly entered the room.
"Joseph is here?" Katty and Victoria were both dumbfounded.
"Let him in!" Victoria said reluctantly, in her heart she really looked down on Joseph. She was disgusted when she saw Joseph. The last time they met was when Katty married Joseph. However, Victoria only came to give a wedding gift to her best friend, Katty. After that she went home and did not follow the wedding party until it was over.
After a few seconds, Joseph walked into Katty's room carrying a jewelry box. His smile had not stopped since then.
"Honey, why are you here?" asked Katty. She stood up and greeted her husband happily.
"Honey, I just bought a gift for you. So I couldn't wait to give it to you," Joseph replied. He smiled and handed her the jewelry box. Joseph promised himself that from today on he would give Katty a better life.
"That's...very expensive jewelry!" Victoria said to herself. She was surprised after glancing at the logo of the jewelry box's packaging.
Katty covered her mouth as she was surprised by the gift her husband had brought her. She knew that the jewelry was very expensive. Katty's eyes were teary with emotion.
"When we got married, I didn't buy you jewelry like this diamond, right? Now I will make up for it." Joseph touched his wife's head and smiled warmly.
"HAHAH! Joseph, do you take Katty for a fool? How dare you use this trick to play with her feelings!" Victoria sneered, she took a step forward and mocked Joseph. "Tell us where you bought this fake jewelry?" Victoria's eyes bulged. She was not sure if Joseph could afford such an expensive piece of jewelry.
Because of Victoria's raised voice, it made all the employees in the office witness it.
"I'm not going to discuss the fact that you're poor. But I didn't expect you to buy a fake and give it to your wife in a public place like this! Shameless!" said Victoria.
"It's said that Katty's husband is a useless and poor man. He doesn't even have a regular job!" the employees whispered.
Suddenly, the office was full of whispered murmurs. They looked at Joseph with looks of contempt and scorn.

Joseph opened the jewelry box, he took out a set of necklaces and put them directly onto his wife's neck with great pleasure. Katty was still speechless as she was amazed to see real diamonds on her necklace.Everyone in the office looked at Joseph with a look of disbelief. They were shocked and astonished. The box of jewelry was really bought by Joseph. As a matter of fact, a minute ago Joseph showed a paper with official proof that he had bought the jewelry."No way!" Victoria shook her head. She couldn't believe that Joseph could afford a billion dollars worth of jewelry."Honey..." Katty's eyes widened. Her small mouth opened slightly as she was moved at this moment. Katty even thought that her husband had won at gambling, or maybe won the lottery? Because, other than that, how else could Joseph buy such expensive jewelry?Everyone in the office was whispering and wondering where Joseph got that much money from? However, there was no confirmation from Joseph. This was because he w

Katty seemed unable to stay where she was. She kept clenching her hands together as she heard her brother-in-law's words. She really couldn't afford to pay 100 million dollars, especially considering her husband's condition. Katty was sure that this was just Lucky's plan to humiliate her husband."Lucky, Joseph and I can't possibly give 100 million dollars for Dad's heart transplant surgery, we don't have enough money." Katty said. Katty was sure that this was just Lucky's plan to humiliate her and her husband."Lucky, Joseph and I can't possibly give 100 million dollars for Dad's heart transplant surgery, we don't have enough money," Katty said. In desperation, she finally confessed. After all, 100 million dollars was too much for her and her husband."Yes, from the beginning I was sure that your savings would not be enough, even to pay half of it. Especially your husband, I'm sure he has no money in his account at all. So poor!" said Lucky contemptuously to Joseph. He looked at Jose

"Okay, enough! You'd better shut your mouth, Joseph! See, I got a good laugh out of that nonsensical remark of yours. You better think about where else you're going to apply for a job. You don't have to be pretentious and say you'll pay 300 million dollars. You won't be able to afford it! Hahahaha!" Lucky laughed again. After that, Lucky immediately went to the administration to request that his father-in-law be moved to the VVIP room. However, there seemed to be some problems that made it difficult for Lucky's wish to be granted."Sorry, Sir. We have our own rules. We cannot move a patient to the VVIP room because the patient must be treated for at least three days first. Mr. Barta has just entered the hospital, we can't move him to the VVIP room right away." An administrative assistant refused Lucky's request to move Mr. Barta to the VVIP room immediately. The administrative assistant said that they have their own rules. If you want a patient to be moved to the VVIP room, then at l

Joseph smiled sarcastically when he saw Lucky's protest. He wanted to tell the truth, but it didn't seem like the right time. Moreover, the one who was lying down was his father-in-law. If Joseph told his identity, Lucky would faint and be treated like his father-in-law, Barta Smith." You guys don't need to know that. What is clear is that daddy will be moved to the VVIP room as soon as you want." With his tone of voice looking more stern, Joseph said that. Lucky was shocked by Joseph's words. He acted like a young master from a rich family. "Joseph, tell me quickly! What is your relationship with Mr. Gawali? How could he give you permission so easily? You must be related to him, right? He's the director of this hospital, he can't possibly know you!" said Lucky. He felt unacceptable.Joseph smiled when he heard that. "No. I don't have any relationship with him," Joseph lied. This was not the time for him to reveal that he was actually a young master from the Guezz family. An extre

Joseph who heard that was immediately petrified. His heart didn't want to admit this truth. It had been a long time since he had seen his father, but his father had already passed away. He should have met his father first."It's okay, Uncle. When it comes to death, no one knows," Joseph comforted Mr. Gawali. It was obvious that the man had lost his boss. So, now that he saw Joseph, he felt that Mr. Guezz had returned in a younger version. The man was determined not to leave Joseph. Together with Joseph, he would manage all the assets of the Guezz family."Young Master, please. I will take you to the bank. I will take care of transferring all the ownership of Mr. Guezz's assets to you. You are now entitled to take over."Joseph who heard that immediately nodded. He started to get up from his seat and walked after Mr. Gawali from the side. Mr. Gawali looked at Joseph every now and then, which made his employer's son wonder."Uncle, what's wrong, why do you keep looking at me? I look str

"WHAT?" Instantly, the shrieks of the householders could be heard. The people who were unhappy with Joseph's happiness were stunned. They were not happy to hear that. It left them with nothing to insult Joseph with anymore."Honey, are you serious?" asked Katty with a beaming face. Finally, after all this time, her husband got a job too. She was happy because from now on he wouldn't be insulted by her family anymore.However, it seemed like Katty was too happy to let Joseph continue. After Joseph did so, the sound of laughter could be heard throughout the house. They were extremely pleased with Joseph's explanation. They immediately looked down at the man and laughed at him."Yes. Mr. Gawali gave me a job as a cleaning service in his office," Joseph added."Hahaha! Cleaning service? Hahahaha." The sound of derisive laughter rang in both Katty and Joseph's ears. Katty, who heard her husband's explanation, was shocked. Katty wondered what kind of job her husband had gotten. However, in

2 hours later, all the Smith family gathered in the hospital hall to see Mr. Barta, who was reported to have regained consciousness. The doctor said that Mr. Barta was ready to be visited in his room. So, the Smith family waited for that moment. They were very happy that Mr. Smirth had finally undergone successful surgery and regained consciousness quickly. "It's all because of Lucky. You are a very rich and reliable son-in-law of the Smith family. Unlike Joseph who paid for his father-in-law's hospital fees with gambling winnings. How rude of him!" said Uncle Patrick. And the rest of the Smith family joined in praising Lucky, and they also undermined Joseph's self-esteem.2 hours ago when Lucky found out that it was Joseph who paid for his father-in-law's surgery, Lucky interrogated him and asked him where he got the money from. Lucky accused Joseph of stealing. But Joseph claimed that he got the money from winning gambling. Immediately Lucky told all the Smith family that Joseph wa

"That's right! Lucky has so much money that he can afford to move Mr. Barta to this nicer room." Uncle Patrick praised Lucky excessively. "Is this a VIP room?" Mr. Barta just realized that the room he was currently in was a VIP room, because there were many adequate facilities, and also the interior of the room was modern and comfortable. "That's right, Daddy. This is the VIP room, and you can get in here because of my husband's help," Jenny replied. Then Jenny explained everything. She also explained how despicable Joseph was for not being able to help his father-in-law financially. Jenny even complained to Mr. Barta that the money Joseph was getting to try and help his father-in-law was gambling money. After listening to all that, Mr. Barta was silent for a while. Then he suddenly looked at Joseph with a sneer. "Haha. But I didn't expect that a useless son-in-law like you could still try to play gambling to earn money for me. But, you're still my worst ethical son-in-law. Not on

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.

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.

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
