Toppling the World with His Empire 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

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

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

“Sign it.”In a Spacious office, bright sunlight shined in from the floor-to-ceiling windows, Joseph’s eyes fell on the paper.It’s a DIVORCE AGREEMENT!Joseph was stunned, and a bunch of roses held in his hand fell onto ground.It’s his wedding anniversary day! He got divorce?“Rebecca, what does this... mean?” Joseph couldn’t believe what was happening.It was absurd that his wife’s secretary was asking him to sign the divorce agreement on such a special day.“Joseph,” Rebecca spoke his name seriously, her voice was slightly disdainful, “you’re no longer worthy of Charlotte, she’s such an elegant and successful lady.”Her words struck Joseph like a blow. Not worthy...of Charlotte?Two years ago, when Charlotte, his wife was financially struggling, teetering on the edge of bankruptcy, it’s him, who had tirelessly helped her to get out of the dilemma.But as Charlotte’s business was getting more and more successful, she became more and more indifferent to him.He had never thought t

“Rebecca, did I do it wrong?”Back to her office, she saw her secretary busy organizing the documents, Charlotte suddenly blurted out the question.“Oh, my goodness! of course not! Charlotte, you’re so beautiful, talented, and successful in business. Why should you spend your days with a man who only hides in your pocket all day? You deserve a better one, such as Mr. Anderson, who’s wealthy and handsome.”Although Rebecca’s words echoed in her ears, her thoughts seemed to drift into another dimension. Looking at the slightly ajar door in front of her, she knew her decision was right, but regret still flooded her heart.Meanwhile, in the lift, Joseph looked at the necklace in his hand, sadness filling his eyes.Although he had long noticed something unusual in their marriage, he still felt upset when it came to the end.He had originally thought ordinary life was happiness; but exactly, the ordinary life ruined the marriage.Three years of dream in such an ordinary life, he should wake

“Security, where’s the security? My son is about to be beaten to death by this lunatic!”Unable to stop Joseph, Mrs. Smith could only shout loudly.Quickly, some security guards came there.“Hurry up, stop him!” Mrs. Smith pointed at Joseph, screaming madly.Seeing someone approaching, Joseph also restrained himself. He stopped hitting Steven.“Oh god, my son, my poor son.” Mrs. Smith rushed to take care of Steven.At this point, Steven had been hit by Joseph to where his nose and mouth were bleeding, and his face was swollen.The two security guards also recognized them, exclaiming:“Oh my god… Joseph, Mrs. Smith and...”Well, they didn’t recognize the man with a swollen pig head.Meanwhile, Joseph kept silent. He quietly bent down to pick up the broken pieces of the necklace on the ground, carefully hiding it in pocket.Although Joseph’s face and demeanor seemed calm and indifferent, his hands were still trembling because of anger.If Steven were not her brother, he would die for hu

On the way to the hospital, Charlotte felt her thoughts mixed. She couldn’t help but think about what her mother had told her.Did Joseph really betray her in the marriage?Charlotte glanced at the injuries on her brother’s face, they weren’t that serious, but he kept yelling in pain.Did Joseph disguise to be kind and friendly before? Was it a revenge on her through beating her brother?She had a lot of questions in her mind, so she asked Rebecca.“Rebecca, is it really like that... I still can’t believe that Joseph has resorted to violence against others.”In Charlotte’s impression, Joseph had always been a gentleman, calm and friendly, never bullying others, and always resolving things in the most peaceful manner.“Boss, you are so kind! Why wouldn’t it be possible? You’ve been thinking too highly of him. Look at the bruises on Steven’s face. It’s obvious.”“But... my mother has never liked Joseph before. It’s more likely that they annoyed him...” Charlotte wanted to explain for Jo
Toppling the World with His Empire Chapter 5:
Amile was astonished. She had never experienced Eastern medicine, let alone expected a young man like Joseph to grasp such methods. These were indeed the recent issues she had been facing. With the head of the family in trouble, Amile herself had been struggling. Her routines disrupted, her eating habits erratic, and she indeed experienced endocrine disorders, often having headaches. Last night, she indulged in a few things and immediately had stomach issues. Amile had recently taken quite a few medications, but her body had yet to fully recover.Witnessing her sister’s astonishment, Coco understood that Joseph’s diagnosis was accurate. Coco’s trust in this young man surged. She looked at him hopefully, now with no hesitation in urging him to step forward to her grandfather’s bedside.“Please, save my grandfather,” she implored.Joseph nodded. But Amile still stubbornly blocked his path.“Have you got information from the servant beside me, or the doctors in this area?” Amile still cou

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

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
