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 Joseph with a look of contempt. 

"Katty, if you and your husband don't pay for Dad's surgery, you will be a disobedient child. Not only you, but your husband as well. He's a man, but he can't even make money. Look at my husband, he's handsome and good at earning money. Not like your useless husband who you're always defending." Jenny interrupted her husband's words. Instead of getting angry, Lucky smiled contemptuously at his wife's words. The husband and wife were the same, equally annoying and ignorant, ungrateful to be more precise.

"Did you hear what Jenny and Lucky said, Katty? Your husband is useless, even in times of need, he's unreliable. Why would you keep him?" said Mr. Patrick Smith, Mr. Barta Smith's younger brother, who also insulted Joseph. 

Katty felt unfair for living and surviving in such a toxic family environment. Where was her family that she loved so much in the past?

Joseph who heard the insults about himself from the people in front of him made his hands clenched into fists, his jaw also hardened. It seemed like Joseph was fed up with all the insults he heard. Maybe he used to be able to accept. However, when he now saw Katty who was almost crying, he had second thoughts about telling her who he was. However, Joseph again decided against it. 

"Calm down, Joseph! Now is not the right time," said the man in his heart. He tried to control his emotions as he was eager to tell the men that he alone could even empty the entire hospital for his father-in-law. 

"It's true what you heard, Katty. What are you keeping your useless husband for? Can't give you children, has no income, is mostly a burden on the family, why is he still so precious in your eyes?" Jenny said again. Having already insulted Joseph enough, now the woman was back at her younger sibling. 

"Jenny, that's enough, you've gone too far!" Katty could no longer stand the insults from her family, especially Jenny and Lucky.

Katty was eager to get back at her outrageous sister. However, a large palm grabbed her wrist. Joseph deliberately did that so that Katty would not lose control and make matters worse. After all, he was also used to being insulted by his wife's family.

"Why, Katty, let me tell you. The difference between my husband and yours is like earth and sky. My husband is very rich and has everything, so he is respected by people. You don't need to explain. Everyone knows about your poor husband." Jenny insulted Joseph even more.

Jenny, Lucky, and the other Smiths were heard laughing and chuckling at this. Most of them flashed their mocking smiles at Joseph.

"Lucky, you just asked us for 100 million dollars for our father-in-law's surgery, right? No need for 100 million dollars, I can even pay for the whole thing, 300 million dollars!" Joseph said firmly when all was quiet.

"HAHA!" There was thunderous laughter from the entire Smith family in the hospital waiting room. Some of the people there were laughing quite loudly. They seemed to have forgotten that they were in a hospital.

"What did you say? You want to pay for everything? Haha! Where are you going to get that much money from? Are you going to become a thief? You won't be able to get it!" Lucky laughed the loudest. He really couldn't believe what he was hearing from Joseph. In his mind, what he heard was Joseph's joke. The joke made Lucky laugh so hard. It was also felt by other members of the Smith family.

"Honey, what are you saying? You want to pay for everything? Where are you going to get that much money. I only have 500 dollars in my savings." Katty whispered while pulling her husband's arm. The woman whispered while looking at the rest of her family with fear. She was afraid that her husband would become a joke with a new topic later. It wasn't that she was ashamed, it was just that Katty wouldn't accept it if someone kept insulting her husband.

"'Calm down, Honey. I'm not lying. This time, I won't make you the butt of jokes them. So, you just keep quiet and see." Joseph replied to his wife's whisper.

Katty who heard that instantly became her even though she was feeling anxious. She couldn't believe her husband would get that much money. It was good if he got the money right, but what if Joseph stole it? Katty did not want her husband to do that. 

After all, the one set of jewelry that she got from her husband, Joseph said that he won it in the lottery. So, Katty thought that Joseph would never be able to get that much money, especially in such a short time.

"Honey, you're not joking?" asked Katty in disbelief.

"No. I'm not joking. This time I'm going to shut everyone up!" said Joseph. His eyes silently glared at the Smith family members who were currently still laughing at him.

  • 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

  • CHAPTER 844-MISSION COMPLETE

    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

  • CHAPTER 842-BIG SECRET

    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

  • CHAPTER 841-JOSEPH....

    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

  • CHAPTER 840-BOOM!!!!!

    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. "My darling," he greeted her warmly, his tone as smooth as ever. "You never fail to impress me."Jennifer lowered her gaze, avoiding his penetrating stare.Ramond rose fro

  • CHAPTER 839-WALK INTO THE BUSHES

However, behind the mask of power he always wore, there was a hidden truth: Ramond owned nothing. Everything—his wealth, assets, and the networks he wielded—belonged to Jennifer. A woman trapped in her blind love for Ramond for years, she had made him a symbol of power in the eyes of the world.Jennifer’s love became a vulnerability that Ramond exploited without hesitation. He played his role flawlessly, presenting himself as a charismatic yet dangerous leader within the global elite circles.

Under his influence, many leaders in the network were willing to take extreme measures to achieve their objectives—whether it was dominating specific economic sectors, manipulating politics, or mercilessly destroying rivals.Ramond became a symbo

  • 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. I need them ready for my next orders

  • CHAPTER 837-BIG SECRET

    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
