Toppling the World with His Empire Chapter 52:
“Because of what happened in the past?” Joseph's voice was quiet. Two ancient words make listeners feel sad.Ace's actions stopped, his cup of tea did not reach his mouth but just stopped in the air.Ace slowly put his cup of tea on the table, his age-stained face found it difficult to hide his sadness.“That's just over five years ago! Time passed quickly!" Ace said while sighing. He seemed immersed in the story of five years ago.That was the biggest pain in Ace's life. A loss so great that he could not forget until his death.“That's right, it's been five years! Everything is in the past. Ace, you should still give yourself a new choice, a new future!”When Ace heard Joseph say that, he could only laugh. Maybe Joseph thinks he is stubborn, but one has to be an insider to fully understand everything. Up until now, he has never had the thought of finding himself a new happiness. He didn't dare.“That really belongs to the past, it's been five years. It's just that it's been five year
Toppling the World with His Empire Chapter 53:
“Oh right Joseph, how are things going with your family?” Ace suddenly changed the subject.Joseph was slightly stunned but quickly controlled his emotions back to a normal state. He slowly brought the cup of tea to his mouth and took a sip.“No, I haven't been back there for a long time.” That's right, since his mother passed away, that place is no longer his home. For Joseph, the word "family" is extremely luxurious. Previously, I lived in Wiliam's house, living in luxury but without any human warmth. Later when he met Charlotte, Joseph thought he had found his true "family" but she left him. Not only that, but Charlotte also pushed him into difficult situations time and time again. Just like before, she was the first person to refute his arguments, the person she was willing to stand up for was Anthony, not him!Ace is also an observant person, Joseph's change in facial expression was noticed by him. Of course, he also understood the reason for that.“I just want to remind you a li

Chapter 54“Let's see what you can do without this! Want to accuse me? It's not easy!” Anthony gave a false smile.He quickly blended into the flow of people passing by, his eyes constantly looking around. It was also Anthony's first time coming to this place, and the location of his sample testing room was unknown.After a while of searching, Anthony finally found the sample testing room. Anthony carefully looked around, then entered after confirming there was no one.“Hey, what are you still doing there? Come over here and help me!” A deep, hoarse voice suddenly rang out in the corner of the room, causing Anthony to jump."Damned! Obviously I looked closely just now!” Anthony cursed silently in his heart.“Hey, why don't you hurry over and give me a hand?“I'm telling you, it's been a long time since you moved to this sampling room, but you're always making excuses to skip work. If you don't have a stomach ache, you'll have a headache. If you don't have a headache, you'll be hungry!

“What’s going on? Just spit it out!” Joseph furrowed his brow slightly, suspecting that there was a problem.“Your phone that you brought to the police station, it got stolen!”“Joseph, I sincerely apologize for this!” Mr. Ace hesitated to speak up. It was the first time Joseph had asked him for help, and yet he couldn’t handle a small matter like this. He had previously promised that he would definitely give Joseph an accurate result, an answer that he wanted.Joseph said nothing. Of course, he was smart enough to figure out who had taken that phone.“Hold on!” Joseph suddenly exclaimed, as if he had just realized something.The car that had just collided with his was Anthony’s! Yes, it was Anthony’s car! Joseph had seen him drive that car before. Normally, Anthony drove a BMW, but there was a time Joseph saw him in the car he had just seen. Yes, there was no mistaking it!“I have something to do. I’m hanging up!” Joseph quickly hung up the phone. He turned the car around, chasing af

“Master Joseph, it’s been a long time! The master truly misses you!” Butler Canluvick smiled at Joseph. Compared two years ago, he looked just the same.Joseph slowly closed his eyes, saying nothing. Outwardly, Joseph appeared perfectly normal, as if nothing were wrong, but inside, waves of unease churned.“Since you left, the master has always remembered you. He often mentions you to me!” Canluvick bowed slightly. His attitude towards Joseph was extremely respectful.“Was it you who brought me to the hospital?” Joseph tilted his head slightly to the left. His head still ached, his body was sore, and some places still oozed blood.Canluvick quickly dismissed Joseph’s speculation. “Yes, it was the master. If it weren’t for him this time, you would have stepped into the gates of hell!”“My father?” Joseph furrowed his brow slightly. Canluvick’s answer surprised him; William rarely made public appearances. Moreover, their relationship wasn’t good. His father’s personal visit to the city

"There's no need to look for him anymore. Everything has been resolved."When Joseph's entire mind was now completely focused on Anthony, he needed to know where he was now, whether he had run away or not. I need to get that zip bag back.At that moment, a voice rang out, interrupting his thoughts, the voice of butler Canluvick. He spoke calmly, with a tone so normal that it couldn't be more normal, but it made Joseph both surprised and foresee something not so good.“What do you mean?”"That's it, young master, your matter, everything has been resolved satisfactorily."What did he mean by "all your stuff", was it your involvement with Anthony or all the other stuff?"What do you mean?"Joseph seemed like he wanted to jump out of bed, rush to grab butler Canluvick's collar and interrogate him. But right now, just moving a little bit was enough to make the wound on his body extremely painful. Joseph did not expect to be injured so seriously.“Young master, just calm down. If you tear o

“Take them away,” Mr. Canluvick ordered his subordinates. In less than thirty seconds, Charlotte and Rebecca were rushed out by Mr. Canluvick's men.“Young master, you just rest and recuperate, we will arrange for you to return in a few days.”Joseph didn't say anything, he just kept his eyes closed. Joseph's insides were a mess right now.Two days later, as promised, butler Canluvick sent a car to pick up Joseph and return.Joseph stood quietly in front of the car door, feeling the sharp look from butler Canluvick. His heart tightened, not from fear but from a feeling of disappointment. He has worked hard for many years to assert himself, but now he has to return to William's house, where he always feels despised."Sir Joseph, you can't stand here forever," Canluvick reminded, his voice both soft and forceful.“Young master, everything in this world is born with its inherent position. It's time for you to return to your place.”“It's been a long time.” Joseph looked up at the sky, fe

Joseph obeyed, trying to keep his spirits up. He knew that this conversation wouldn’t be easy, but he also didn’t want to continue to be looked down upon.“Joseph,” Mr. William began, his eyes looking straight at him, expressionless. “Do you know why I called you in here?”“It’s about coming back, right?,” Joseph replied, trying to keep his voice calm.“That’s right,” Mr. William said, his hand tapping lightly on the tabletop.“How long have you been away from here? Five years? Six years? And now you’re back, bringing your failure with you. Do you know what that means?”“No, I don’t think my best friend failed,” Joseph said, his eyes shining with determination. “I learned a lot during my time out. I came back not because I couldn’t stand on my own, but because you wanted me to come back.”“Is that really so? You didn’t come back here because your best friend failed so much with your choice. A marriage that didn’t work out. The girl he loved with all his heart gave him a divorce petiti

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

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

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

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
