“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 hundreds of times!
“This uncultured thug dared to hit our son.” Mrs. Smith screamed.
The guards all felt astonished that the pig-like man was actually Steven Smith, who’s totally a villain. Even they felt disgusted about him.
However, to please their boss, they attempted to arrest Joseph. They knew this useless son-in-law had already divorced with the lady boss.
They rolled up their sleeves, ready to attack Joseph.
At that moment, Joseph was squatting on the ground to collect the small pieces of the necklace, with his back turned to them.
But Joseph’s senses were extremely keen; he could feel where their movements and actions. Joseph wouldn’t mind giving them an impressive lesson if they truly attacked him.
“Stop!”
Just then, a clear voice suddenly interrupted the guards’ advance and make them stop.
The newcomer was a pretty girl with long, straight and blonde hair. She wore a white dress resembling an innocent princess in the castle.
Although she looked cute and gentle, her demeanor, combined with the team behind her, showed that her status was extraordinary.
She’s Coco Watts, coming here to pick up Joseph to save her grandfather.
Her appearance surprised them all except Joseph.
“Oh my god, how beautiful...” Those guards were all addicted into her beauty.
But she didn’t care about their invasive gazes, only walking towards Joseph.
“Mr. William, glad to see you. I am Coco Watts.” She greeted Joseph.
Watts? The powerful and rich Watts, one of the top families in this city?
People there felt astonished once again, including Steven and his mother.
But how possible? Why did such a noble girl knew Joseph? And they had never heard a girl called Coco in the famous Watts family. Perhaps she just shared the same family name with the Great Watts.
However, what they didn’t know was that Coco had just returned from studying abroad.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Smith shouted to the guards loudly, “ Catch Joseph William!”
Seeing the guards gradually approaching them, Coco frowned slightly and said to Joseph, “Mr. William, please get on the car. They will deal with it.”
She snapped her fingers!
Then four black-suited man with weapons blocked the group of guards. They only stood there, and those guards didn’t dare to do anything.
Finally, Joseph and Coco got on the car, leaving with no one daring to stop them. Her security guards gradually got into another car and followed her.
Mrs. Smith was so angry, and waited until the guards had left before they began to blame and scold the guards continually.
“Truly useless. I will have Charlotte fire all of you.”
At this point, those guards were both scared and clueless, feeling like two small ants pressed between two gigantic walls.
“Madam, please..please don’t.”
But despite their pleading, Mrs. Smith paid no heed.
“Why do we keep you guys? Truly wastes. Even a stray dog knows how to bark and protect its owner. What can you guys do? You’re not even as good as a dog!”
Mrs. Smith said before rolling up her sleeves, wanting to vent her anger on them. Just then, a familiar female voice suddenly rang out:
“What’s going on here?”
It was Charlotte, who was originally in her office but heard from her secretary that there was a gathering downstairs with many people, including her mother and brother, so she came down to see what was happening.
Seeing Charlotte, Mrs. Smith immediately rushed over and, like a parrot, kept crying:
“Charlotte, look at what your ex-husband did. He unreasonably hit Steven here.”
At this point, Steven also restrained his fierce demeanor, intentionally displaying his swollen face for Charlotte to see, not forgetting to exaggerate it even more.
“That scoundrel, I just advised him to calmly reassess his relationship with you, and he went crazy and hit me. I was just persuading him.”
“That’s right, he even attempted to beat me. What a brutal man!” Mrs. Smith chimed in.
They even lied without blinking their eyes, no shame and guilty.
Seeing the wounds on her brother’s face, Charlotte still couldn’t believe that Joseph had done it.
“Mom, we had to send Steven to the hospital.”
Knowing her daughter didn’t believe them, Mrs. Smith didn’t easily let it go. She thought of that beautiful white-dressed girl and said.
“Charlotte, it’s not your fault. He disguised himself so well before. Joseph must have betrayed for a long time. We saw him get on a young pretty girl’s car.”
Hearing what Mrs. Smith said, the trust in Charlotte’s heart was like a shaky fortress. She frowned and couldn’t believe it, blurting out:
“What???”

Chapter 200:
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
Chapter 197:
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
Chapter 196:
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
