Chapter 1493 Joseph Visits Jewel in Her Cell
The woman in the corner remained motionless.
After an unknown amount of time, she heard the door being opened again, accompanied
by a male voice. "Mr. Joseph, this woman almost strangled Bald Eagle to death just now.
He would have met his end if we hadn't happened to pass by."
A cold light flashed in Joseph's eyes as he gazed toward the person beside him. "Who told
you to touch her?"
The man was frightened and stammered, "We didn't touch her. Bald Eagle asked her to
eat, but she didn't move. He went over to check on her, and then she took the opportunity
to wrap her iron chain around Bald Eagle's neck..."
However, his voice became weaker, and he gave up trying to explain in the end. "I don't
know exactly what happened."
Joseph narrowed his eyes. "Let Bald Eagle end himself."
The man was startled, and his mouth was agape, unable to believe what he had heard.
He wanted to confirm what he had heard, but seeing Joseph's indifferent expression, he
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcould only muster a "yes" in response.
At that point, he was curious about the woman in the cell. Who is she? End himself? Isn't
that a bit over?
However, Joseph didn't care about the storm of emotions inside the man's heart and
entered the cell on his own.
A faint smile appeared on his lips when he saw the woman curled up in the corner. "What?
Worried that there's poison in the food?"
The woman slowly turned her head, and her appearance could be clearly seen despite the
dim light. She had short hair, an oval face, fair skin, and a slightly thin figure, but her eyes
looked exceptionally sharp. Who else could it be but Jewel?
"What do you want? Where are the children?" Her voice was hoarse from not eating for a
long time.
Joseph smiled. "Oh, Jewel. I didn't expect we would still meet again after so many years."
Jewel rebuked, "I didn't leave Double Dragon Court willingly. I was almost burned to death
in the fire plotted by Blood Rose and Phantom back then. When I escaped from that room,
my whole body was burned, and my throat was damaged. Someone saved me, and it took
me two months to recover. By then, Double Dragon Court had already declared me dead,
so I didn't return—"
Before she could finish, Joseph interrupted, "And then, you killed Phantom and Blood Rose
for revenge?"
Jewel explained, "I didn't kill them. Yes, I did something to Phantom, but Blood Rose killed
her, trying to frame me. You can investigate it. Later, she killed the bone marrow donor for
Eugene's son. That's why Eugene sent her to the police station. If you just want to settle
the score with me, it's up to you whether to torture or kill me, but let the innocent leave."
Joseph chuckled. "Innocent? Who is innocent? Settling the score with you is one thing. I
have other businesses with them."
"You—" Jewel was so angry that she choked. "What can a few children do to irritate you?
Aren't you afraid that Eugene will come after you?"
With a sneer, Joseph asked, "So what? His wife and children are in my hands. What can he
do to me?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUpon hearing this, Jewel froze. She suddenly stood up and pounced on him. "What did you
say? Is Olivia here too? Where is she?"
Joseph grabbed Jewel's wrist, and his voice turned cold. "How are you still concerned
about others at this moment? Why don't you take a look at your current situation? Who
can you save in this situation?
After saying that, he pushed her away.
Then, he sat on the chair that his subordinates had brought over, looking quite relaxed.
Jewel took several steps back as her feet were bound with iron chains and fell to the
ground.
She lay on the ground, full of regret and remorse. It was her negligence that brought harm
to the children and implicated Olivia.
"Why did you take us? Is it to provoke Eugene?"
Joseph asked, "Why? Can't I?"
Jewel said, "You can, but you wouldn't cause such a losing deal just to provoke him. It's not
worth it."
Joseph laughed. "You know me quite well!"
As he spoke, he leaned down and looked at her with his deep eyes. "If only you had been a
little more sensible back then, or else you wouldn't have ended up like this."
