Joseph stared at her sharply. "Do you know how important those system devices are?" "Of course," Jenny answered indifferently. "If you hand them over, they'll let us go, and I can live comfortably with enough money." Joseph scoffed coldly. "And how much money do you have now?" he asked with a mocking tone, flashing a cynical smile. Jenny was visibly startled by Joseph’s words. However, in this situation, she had to keep playing the victim. "Joseph, we’re family. All I’m talking about is improving our lives going forward!" Jenny quickly changed her tone to one of sadness. Joseph shook his head slowly and said, "You are a pitiful woman." "Shut up, Joseph! Whether I’m pitiful or not, that’s none of your business!" Jenny shot back angrily, her voice rising. Joseph smiled coldly and said, "Do you think I’ll just give up like that?" Jenny snorted disdainfully. "I know you’re strong. But don’t forget, you’re still just a human—not a god. You have limits too. Are you not afrai
Joseph, quickly, let me go! I’m dying here!” Lucky shouted. “Jenny has gone too far. She even sent people to capture me like this!” Lucky kept yelling over and over. Hearing his words, Joseph only smiled bitterly and shook his head. “I’ll release you,” Joseph said. Lucky let out a sigh of relief as Joseph helped him. But suddenly, Lucky screamed, “Joseph! Jenny is escaping! She’s running away!” Joseph quickly turned around and saw a shadow sprinting ahead. Jenny had only pretended to faint earlier. While Joseph was busy helping Lucky, she took the chance to flee. Joseph smiled wryly and shook his head again. “Joseph, I’ve already divorced her! We both agreed to it. But after signing the documents, she caused this whole scene, and when I tried to help, some men dragged me here!” Lucky complained, frustration clear on his face. Joseph sighed. “It’s okay. I’m not blaming you. You’ve divorced Jenny, and moving forward, I believe you’ll find someone better.” Joseph looked c
During this conversation, Gawali’s voice sounded slightly hesitant, as if uncertain. “We found that many people from the Gon Gold Group Japan have entered your territory: Leeds, the eastern region, and some parts of Boston.” After delivering the report, Gawali fell silent for a moment. “Something like this can’t be entirely restricted,” Joseph responded calmly. He never saw the people from that island as a serious threat. “But... we also discovered that Jenny seems to have a close relationship with some of them,” Gawali continued. Joseph shook his head. “That woman? Let her do whatever she wants. It’s not a big deal.” This was typical of Joseph. To him, Jenny was no threat. Whatever she did wasn’t important enough to be concerned about. “But... we fear they might be planning something.” Those words made Gawali pause again, as though weighing what he should say next. Hearing this, Joseph understood Gawali’s concerns. "Alright, I get it. This isn’t a big issue. We can
Jenny was stunned, unable to believe what she had just heard. "What?! You want me to be your maid? I'm your sister, Katty!" she exclaimed angrily, feeling unfairly treated. Katty remained calm, though guilt tugged at her heart. She knew her decision might hurt Jenny's feelings, but she saw no other way. This was her husband's command. "Jenny, this is the only option. If you don’t agree, you can’t stay with us," Katty said firmly. Even though Jenny had been sneaking into the Joseph family’s life to monitor Joseph’s activities, now Katty was asking her to be a maid. How could Jenny accept this? "Katty, your family is wealthy now. Can't you try to understand me?" Jenny pleaded, her voice filled with sorrow. "You have money to hire other maids. Why must it be me?" Katty sighed. "I'll ask Joseph," she replied before dialing her husband’s number. The call connected after a few seconds. "Give the phone to Jenny," Joseph’s voice commanded. Katty handed the phone to Jenny wit
"Honey, you're home! The food will be ready soon," Katty greeted Joseph warmly, her face lighting up with happiness. "Katty, why are you the one cooking? Where’s Jenny? Doesn't she live here? She should be the one cooking, right?" Joseph's expression instantly shifted to dissatisfaction as he took in the situation. Hearing this, Jenny hurriedly lay back down on the bed. "If I can take a short rest, why not? Being a maid isn’t an easy job," she thought to herself. "She was beaten by Lucky today, so I asked her to rest," Katty explained gently. "Don’t worry. It’s just cooking; it’s no big deal." Katty’s soft tone instantly calmed Joseph’s anger. "Ricky, here are the documents. Please place them in my workroom," Joseph instructed, handing Ricky a bag. "Remember, guard them carefully. They are extremely important." Hearing their conversation, Jenny sat up, her curiosity piqued. She had a hidden agenda for infiltrating Joseph's household, aiming to acquire certain documents. No
That night, the air felt heavy, as if predicting the arrival of a great storm. Joseph was enjoying a cup of coffee in his workroom when his phone vibrated. Gawali’s name appeared on the screen, and a sense of foreboding immediately crept into his mind. Joseph answered the call with a cold expression, ready for news worse than he had expected. "Young Master Joseph... Our lab has been destroyed," Gawali's voice was filled with regret. Joseph straightened up. "What? Destroyed? Explain to me." "Foreign forces attacked. We found our air control system testing equipment completely wrecked. The lab is a mess—there's nothing left." Joseph gripped the phone tighter. "What about the CCTV?" "Disabled. We have no footage of who did it," Gawali said, his voice weak, nearly despairing. "I’m sorry, Young Master… I failed to protect it." A moment of silence lingered between them. Joseph didn’t respond right away. He took a deep breath, trying to contain the fury burning within him. His
In Joseph's quiet workroom, the atmosphere grew increasingly tense. Jenny struggled, her tears streaming down her face, and her voice broke in panic. "Joseph, please... I’m sorry! I didn’t mean—" Jenny tried hard to speak through her sobs, but Joseph remained unmoved. Joseph's face stayed cold, like a stone statue. His gaze was sharp, full of restrained anger. He looked at Jenny as if she no longer mattered to him. "I don't need your apology," Joseph said in a low but threatening tone. "What I want now is an answer... why did you do it?" Jenny shook her head desperately, her body trembling with fear. "They threatened me... I had no choice..." "Choice?" Joseph stepped closer, intimidating. "You had a choice, but you chose to betray me." Jenny's sobs grew louder. She fell to her knees on the floor, begging. "Please, Joseph... I'll do anything! I promise, I’ll make it right!" At that moment, footsteps approached. Katty appeared at the doorway, her eyebrows furrowed as she s
30 Minutes Later, Joseph’s Phone Rang. Gawali’s name appeared on the screen. Joseph promptly answered the call. “Young Master Joseph, I’ve found him,” Gawali’s voice was calm but firm, indicating he carried important information. Joseph straightened in his seat. “Good. Tell me.” Gawali exhaled briefly before continuing. “Magno Gon is one of the sons of the Gon family, one of the most influential business dynasties in Japant. Their primary businesses are in technology, nuclear energy, and automotive sectors. One of their flagship companies is Gon Gold Japant.” Joseph’s brow furrowed, his heartbeat quickening. He knew that company’s reputation extended beyond legitimate industry, often touching the gray zones of illegal business operations. “And Magno? What’s his role in the family?” Joseph asked, his tone turning more serious. “This is where it gets interesting,” Gawali replied, piecing together the puzzle. “Magno is the youngest son... and a troubled one. Unlike his two
