Toppling the World with His Empire Chapter 159:
When the door finally closed behind the last of the shareholders, the room fell into silence. The tense atmosphere seemed to dissipate with each departing step, leaving only Joseph, Jayce, and Norman in the now still room. The dim light from the overhead lamp cast shadows on their weary faces.Jayce stood in the middle of the room, his eyes drifting towards Joseph. A familiar smile curled on his lips, one that Joseph knew all too well, yet never could fully decipher. That smile seemed friendly, yet something hidden lurked beneath the surface.“Joseph, don’t let them get to you,” Jayce said in a soft tone, as if he were discussing something trivial. “They’re just worried about the company, and sometimes that worry makes them say things they shouldn’t. You understand, don’t you?”Joseph stared straight into Jayce’s eyes, trying to conceal his true feelings. It was clear that Jayce was pretending nothing was wrong, as if everything was under his control. Joseph gave a slight smile, one t

Norman walked down the long, quiet corridor of the hospital, holding the thermos tightly. The light from the fluorescent lamps cast long shadows as he walked. His footsteps echoed evenly on the white tiled floor, but Norman couldn't shake off the vague feeling of unease. The hospital at night was eerily quiet. The long corridors, the silent wards with tightly closed doors, all created a stifling atmosphere. Norman couldn't stop thinking about the strange doctor's instructions to get him some warm water. He didn't suspect anything, but the incident happened so suddenly that he couldn't help but worry. When he reached the area with the hot water heater, Norman suddenly stopped. He bent down, opened the thermos, and prepared to get some water. But when he turned on the faucet, he realized that the faucet wasn't working. Not a single drop of water came out of the pipe. Norman frowned, feeling confused. He fumbled, turning the faucet a few more times, but the result was the same.Norman

Norman couldn't suppress the panic rising within him. After what had just happened, he was certain that Mr. William was in danger. His hands trembled, and his voice quivered as he looked at Joseph with eyes full of worry."Joseph, I think something's happened to Father..." Norman stammered, trying to convey the fear swelling up inside him. "I don't know... but I have a really bad feeling. We need to go back now; I'm worried about him."Joseph looked into Norman's eyes, clearly seeing the panic and desperation there. He placed a hand on Norman's shoulder, giving it a gentle squeeze, trying to reassure his younger brother."Calm down, Norman," Joseph said, his voice steady and reassuring. "We're going back right now. Everything will be fine. I promise you."Norman nodded, trying to regain his composure. As for Joseph, he was already calculating everything that was about to unfold. The pieces in his mind started falling into place, and he understood that this was the moment Jayce would m
Toppling the World with His Empire Chapter 162:
In that moment, Joseph looked deep into Norman's eyes, clearly seeing the pain and worry within them. He then made up his mind that, no matter what happened, he would not lose control again. He had to stay calm, think clearly, and make the right decisions.A small shout from the doctor drew the attention of both brothers. "His heart is beating again, but it's very weak! Keep monitoring closely!"A brief sense of relief washed over Norman upon hearing this, but he knew that the situation was still very serious. He couldn't take his eyes off Mr. William, who was lying on the bed, surrounded by various wires and tubes connected to his body.Joseph glanced at the clock, silently wishing that time could slow down, but he knew that was impossible. He felt like time was slipping away too quickly, and with each passing moment, Mr. William's life hung more precariously.Norman remained standing beside Joseph, his eyes never leaving their father. The fear of losing Mr. William had now become a

Joseph stood outside, his eyes fixed on the health monitor screen tracking Mr. William’s vitals. The numbers on the screen fluctuated wildly, signaling that his condition was rapidly deteriorating. Each weak, irregular heartbeat appeared on the screen, and Joseph realized that this situation couldn't continue much longer. The doctors were doing their best, but Joseph knew better than anyone: they wouldn’t be able to save Mr. William.Cold sweat began to trickle down Joseph's forehead, his heart raced—not out of fear, but from the urgent realization that he needed to act immediately. He couldn't stand still any longer. The doctors might be professionals, but they didn’t know Mr. William as he did. They didn’t understand what Mr. William needed to get through this moment.The decision was made in an instant. Joseph forcefully pushed through the crowd surrounding the hospital bed, shoving his way closer to Mr. William. The nurses and doctors looked at him with confusion and suspicion, bu

The sound of pounding echoed throughout the hallway outside the hospital room, the sharp noise like hammer blows against the walls, expressing the desperation and worry of those outside. Doctors, nurses, and even Norman were doing their best to open the door, but all their efforts were in vain. Norman stood there, pounding on the door with tears in his eyes, his face full of fear."Joseph! Open the door! Please!" Norman shouted, his voice hoarse with worry. He couldn’t understand what was happening inside, but the unease in his heart was growing stronger. Mr. William was in critical condition, and all he could think about was that his father needed the help of the doctors, not Joseph’s intervention.Next to Norman, the doctors and nurses continued banging on the door, trying every way to break the lock or force it open. They couldn’t comprehend why Joseph was doing this, and their concern for Mr. William’s life only made them more frantic.Inside the hospital room, Joseph completely i

Joseph stood in the hospital room, watching as the doctors and nurses around Mr. William attentively checked his condition. The tense and suffocating atmosphere that had filled the room just moments ago had dissipated, replaced by astonishment and disbelief. The man who had been teetering on the brink of death had now been pulled back from the edge.A wave of thoughts and emotions surged through Joseph. He knew that after this, it would be impossible to keep his knowledge of medicine a secret. Everything had played out too clearly, and he wouldn’t be able to avoid the barrage of questions from the doctors.The doctors occasionally glanced at Joseph, their eyes full of curiosity and even admiration. One of them stepped forward, his voice filled with a mixture of wonder and doubt, "This is truly a miracle!"Joseph tried to maintain a calm demeanor, but inside, he was in turmoil. He knew he couldn’t keep evading the truth, but he also didn’t want to get caught up in endless questions. “M
Toppling the World with His Empire Chapter 166:
The doctors around Mr. William's hospital bed all had bright smiles on their faces. The tension and worry that had filled the room earlier had now dissipated, replaced by the joy of seeing Mr. William overcome his critical condition. One of the doctors stepped forward, grasping Joseph's hand firmly, his words full of gratitude and congratulations."Congratulations to the William family," the doctor said, his voice sincere and filled with enthusiasm. "Mr. William has overcome an incredibly dangerous challenge. It's truly a miracle. The William family indeed has exceptionally talented heirs!"The other doctors nodded in agreement, showering Joseph with praise. "Indeed, the William family has a long-standing tradition of talent and resilience. Joseph, you're not only skilled in business but also possess incredible medical expertise. We're honored to have witnessed this."Norman stood nearby, listening to the praises directed at Joseph, and felt a surge of pride in his heart. But at that

Joseph nodded slightly, not showing any emotion. "Charlotte is still safe, right?" Joseph asked, his voice calm, but his eyes intently watching Coco's reaction. This was his way of probing her, not about Charlotte, but for any sign that she knew or was involved in the death. Coco abruptly lifted her head, her eyes filled with anger. "What are you talking about, Joseph? Why would you ask me that? Do you think I don't care about Charlotte?" The anger in Coco's voice made Joseph realize he had touched on something sensitive. But what was she angry about? Because he suspected her, or because she really had something to hide? "I meant no harm, Coco," Joseph replied, trying to calm the situation. "I just want to make sure everything is okay... between us and with Charlotte." But he knew his words wouldn't soothe her anger. Coco stood up abruptly, her eyes full of frustration and rage. "Joseph, what kind of person do you think I am? I've always been by your side, helping you th
Chapter 199:
Coco slowly guided Joseph back to his room, each of their steps heavy like the tense atmosphere surrounding them. Joseph was still somewhat intoxicated, but he maintained a calm demeanor, occasionally nodding to the staff they passed along the way. His eyes were fixed ahead, but his mind was swirling with chaotic thoughts about everything that had just happened. Coco walked beside him silently, holding his arm securely, her eyes betraying her concern.At last, the door to the room appeared before them. Coco gently opened it and helped Joseph inside, closing it behind them. As soon as the door shut, the atmosphere in the room changed completely. Outside, the noise and bustle of the party still lingered, but inside, there was only an eerie silence. Faint light filtered through the curtains, casting soft shadows across the room.Joseph turned on the light, a soft golden glow spilling throughout the space. Suddenly, he pushed Coco away, surprising her. He didn’t say a word, instead quietl
Chapter 198:
Joseph stood amidst the lively atmosphere of the party, but his mind felt lost in a maze of confusion. He tried to piece together the fragments of the events, but the more he thought about it, the more complicated everything became. If Jayce wasn’t the one who killed Charlotte, and he wasn’t behind Mrs. Smith’s death either, then Jayce must be panicking. Two key pawns Jayce had planned to use to threaten him had mysteriously vanished. So, who was behind all of this?Joseph couldn’t stop asking himself questions. “Is there someone silently helping me, or do they have a bigger agenda?” The appearance of a third force in this game could completely change the outcome. This made him uneasy. If someone was helping him, why would they choose such a method? And if they had ulterior motives, was he becoming a pawn in their hands?Looking over at Jayce, Joseph noticed that although Jayce outwardly appeared calm, he was likely in turmoil inside. Coco approached him, her eyes filled with concer

The murmurs in the hall grew louder, and the once formal atmosphere of the party began to descend into chaos. Groups of guests gathered, whispering about the murder near the café. Faces were filled with anxiety, and eyes darted around, searching for an explanation.“Did you hear? The murder case,” a woman in a red dress turned to her companion, her voice trembling. “The killer hasn’t been caught yet, and the police have no leads.”“How terrifying! So close to here too, who would have thought something like this could happen in such a peaceful place,” her friend replied, nervously glancing around.People began to speculate about the murder, with theories spreading quickly and seemingly without end. Everyone presented their own assumptions, creating a tense atmosphere. Some suggested a family feud, while others thought it might be an act of revenge.“It could be robbery gone wrong… or maybe some kind of vendetta? I heard the victim was the mother of a wealthy CEO,” a man suggested.“But

Coco hurried into the party, her eyes scanning the crowd anxiously as she searched for Joseph. She looked around frantically, her breath quickening as she walked swiftly past groups of guests engaged in conversation. Her gaze finally landed on Joseph, who stood near a corner of the room, his face tired and pensive. Coco approached him, unable to hide the worry in her eyes."Joseph!" Coco called softly, her voice a bit urgent. "Where have you been? I didn’t see you at all during the party."Joseph turned to face her, giving a faint smile but maintaining his calm demeanor. "I just stepped out for some personal business, nothing important," he said smoothly, though there was a subtle tension in his eyes that Coco couldn’t ignore.Coco frowned, the uneasy feeling in her heart growing stronger. "Personal business? Are you sure?" she asked gently, her voice full of concern. "I tried calling you several times, but you didn’t pick up. Is something wrong?"Joseph looked straight into Coco’s ey
Chapter 195:
Charlotte lay motionless on the cold floor, her body still, and the pool of blood beneath her had already dried. The dim light from the room cast down on her pale, lifeless face, creating a heavy and terrifying atmosphere. The room was eerily silent, as if frozen in time, with only the faint sound of wind whistling through the crack in the window, disturbing the unnerving quiet.Suddenly, Charlotte's body twitched slightly. A barely noticeable, sudden movement, but it shattered the oppressive silence of the room. Her eyes, once tightly shut in death, abruptly opened wide, her dull eyes now filled with pain. Though devoid of life, somehow she opened her eyes as if pulled back from the brink of death by an unseen force.Charlotte’s throat convulsed, and suddenly, a dry retch escaped her mouth. Her hands instinctively gripped her neck, struggling to suppress something rising within her stomach. Her body convulsed in extreme agony, and soon after, she began to vomit violently, thick, blac
Chapter 194:
Joseph stood silently next to Charlotte, the initial horror gradually giving way to a sense of clarity. Though a storm of painful emotions churned inside him, he knew he couldn't let them overwhelm his reason at this moment. Something was off, and his instincts as someone experienced made him want to understand more about the cause of Charlotte's death.Joseph's gaze swept across Charlotte's body, now motionless on the cold floor. Blood had spread across the floor, soaking into her pristine white dress, creating a tragic scene. He knelt closer, his eyes carefully observing the color of her skin and the livor mortis that had already begun to appear.With his forensic knowledge, Joseph noticed that Charlotte's skin had turned a pale gray, with blood pooling beneath the skin, forming dark purple blotches in areas where the blood had settled. This gave him an important clue: Charlotte had been dead for at least 4 to 6 hours. A chill ran down Joseph's spine as he came to this conclusion, a

Joseph and Brian held their breath, trying to remain completely silent in the darkness. From their hiding spot, they could clearly see everything happening around the stairwell. The faint light from the second-floor hallway cast long shadows on the floor below.The sound of footsteps continued to echo, each step pounding in their chests. Then, Tyler's figure appeared, slowly making his way up the stairs from the first to the second floor. In his hand, he held something, not too large in size but wrapped in a black cloth, making it difficult for anyone to discern what it was.A stack of documents, perhaps?Joseph and Brian watched intently, trying to gather every detail. Tyler showed no signs of haste; he moved with a suspicious calmness, as if he had complete control of the situation. When he reached the second floor, Tyler paused, looked ahead, and then continued up without the slightest hesitation.Joseph felt the tension inside him rising with every passing moment. There was someth
Chapter 192:
Joseph sensed the sudden change in the atmosphere. "What just happened in there?" he thought to himself, his eyes never leaving the scene before him. The bodyguards did not exchange any words, just quickly got into the car at an incredible speed, as if they wanted to get out of this place as soon as possible.Brian frowned, a sense of unease filling his heart. "Did you see that? They're panicking," he said, his voice filled with doubt. "Something very unusual happened in the Smith house."Jayce's car immediately started up, the headlights turned on, and it backed away at a much faster speed than when it had come. Joseph and Brian could not believe their eyes as Jayce's car left the Smith house in a hurry and panic. This wasn’t how Jayce would act if everything was going according to plan.Brian nodded, his eyes filled with uncertainty. “It’s obvious something’s very wrong. What do you think we should do next?”Joseph was silent for a moment, his mind racing, trying to figure out what
