Chapter 36
“Guards! Take him away!” Dennis ordered his men behind him after seeing Brooks act disrespectfully.
Suddenly, Brooks knelt and kowtowed to Joseph. “I’m sorry, Mr. Dawson! I have no idea that Paige is
your wife. If I had known, I wouldn’t have done it even if I had the guts to. Please forgive me! Please!
When he was shouting, two bodyguards held him and were about to drag him out. With that, his fear
intensified because he knew that his superior, Dennis, had a million ways to make him vanish without a
trace, let alone the unfathomable Joseph. On the other hand, Joseph mercilessly stared at Brooks, who
was still struggling and begging. For a split second, he had a strong urge to kill Brooks. However, even if
Brooks disappeared, Estella would still find Paige another man. Thinking of this, Joseph waved his hand
and asked Dennis to bring Brooks back. Overjoyed, Brooks quickly knelt in front of Joseph and
kowtowed profusely, “Please forgive me, Mr. Dawson! Please…” After taking a deep breath, Joseph told
Brooks, “Actually, I wanted to get rid of
you…”
When Brooks heard that, his body shook, and he no longer dared to speak as he continued kowtowing.
At that time, deep terror had overtaken him. Then, Joseph continued, “But never mind. Even if you’re
gone, my mother-in-law will still find Paige another man. How annoying. Just go ahead and meet her
tomorrow. You can decide what to say, but if you dare to reveal my identity, hehe…” Hearing that, Brooks
quickly shook his head. “I won’t, Mr. Dawson. Of course, I won’t. Please be rest assured. I know what to
do. I know…” Dennis snorted and looked at Brooks. “Humph! You’d better not try anything stupid. Don’t
forget that you are not an orphan…” As he spoke, he exuded a murderous intent. After all, most people
who could achieve such high status lịke him were mostly cold-hearted. Once again, Brooks trembled
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbefore he promised, “I won’t, I won’t…” With that, Joseph waved Brooks off. Although Joseph was
irritated, he knew that many things couldn’t be rush because money and power weren’t solutions for
everything. At this moment, Paige’s words from the night before yesterday were reverberating in his
mind, “Joseph, we’ve never loved each other…” Paige was right. He had never loved her, but he owed
her too much…
Meanwhile, Alpha 1 and Serena were sitting opposite each other in the backyard of the club. On the
table, there were all kinds of delicious desserts. However, both of them were not in the mood to eat. After
a long silence, Alpha 1 sighed deeply and looked at Serena with complicated eyes. “Miss Mooney, you
shouldn’t have come today. Now that you’ve known something, Mr. Dawson might be very passive in the
future…” Even though Serena knew that she was in the wrong, she was still terribly shocked. “I’m sorry,
Mr. King. I know I was wrong…” “Sigh… forget it. Things have turned out this way, but please keep a
secret from your sister. It’s not that Mr. Dawson doesn’t want to reveal his identity to you and Mrs.
Dawson. It’s just that he has his difficulties.” Alpha 1 sighed again while the complexity in his eyes grew.
Right away, Serena raised her fingers and swore, “Please tell Joseph to rest assured. I swear I will never
let the cat out of the bag, but can I ask a question first? I was recruited by Mysticorps Group yesterday.
Was he behind this?” Alpha 1 nodded. “Yes. He sent me a WhatsApp message, and I went to look for
Ernie.” Oh, Ernie Green… Serena was bewildered again. Although Ernie was also a top figure in Oplen,
Joseph managed to make him complete a task without approaching him personally. “How about Reuben,
who looked for my sister this morning, and those 100 partners?” Serena asked again. “Ernie arranged
that under Mr. Dawson’s instruction…” Alpha I continued nodding. “Ernie Green, Dennis Drake… Wait!”
Something suddenly flashed through Serena’s mind, and she stood up with a jerk. “So… the grand
wedding that was suddenly announced by Dennis and Ernie yesterday is… is…” Looking at Serena
meaningfully, Alpha 1 nodded again. Perplexed, Serena could feel her jaw touch the ground. It took her a
long time to pull herself together… “Mr. King, I swear that I will keep it as a secret, but may I know what
position was Joseph holding in the military? Paige told me that he was fired by them,” When she asked
Alpha 1, her lips were dry, and her voice trembled. No matter how stupid she was, she knew that’a
person who could make the top leaders of Oplen obey must be someone with a high rank. When Alpha 1
heard that, his heart missed a beat, and many thoughts flashed through his mind. Then, he looked up at
Serena and questioned her with a serious and complicated expression, “Have you heard of the god of
war in the military?” “What… what? God of war?” Serena’s mind, which had yet to calm down, was once
again overcome by surprise. Alpha 1 nodded and gave Serena a deep stare. “Haha, you’ve heard it right.
Or else, what kind of person do you think can intimidate Dennis and Ernie then?” With a bang, Serena
slumped in her seat in dismay. Although she hadn’t graduated from college, she knew a thing or two
about Frogua’s military. That was because her first uncle’s son-Maxton Mooney-was serving there as a
mere lieutenant commander. Even so, the Mooneys, including Leonard, regarded Maxton as the best
junior in the family’s history. If that was the case, what about the god of war then? How much higher was
this position compared to a lieutenant commander? If calculated by rank, Joseph would be a four-star
general! Soon, she came back to her senses and asked Alpha 1, looking anxious, “Isn’t the military being
too strict? All Joseph did was beating Jaylah. Even if he broke Jaylah’s leg, it could still be connected.
They wouldn’t have to fire Joseph because of this, right?” By this time, her eyes had become red. After
Serena asked, Alpha 1 stared at her for a while before he looked down and uttered, “Do you think that
b*st*rd who locked Chloe in the pigsty and forced Mrs. Dawson to submit to him would end up with just a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsimple beating?” Instantaneously, Serena’s face changed, and she asked, “What… what do you mean by
this…” In a low voice, Alpha l explained, “What I mean is what you’re thinking right now. For the past few
years, Mr. Dawson contributed to Frogua by wiping out one foreign force after another on the
extraterritorial battlefield and was willing to sacrifice everything to protect Frogua. But his wife and
daughter were being treated this way! So, if you were him, what would you do?” Once again, Serena was
bewildered, and her eyes were dull as she stuttered, “What… What about the Kennedys in Apren City?”
“They were wiped out… So, can you understand why he is fired from the military now? He was in charge
of the outer district’s military, and yet, he returned on his own and committed a great crime. Sigh…”
Alpha 1 muttered. “Can… can he return to the military again?” Serena’s eyes became wet. With his head
lowered, Alpha 1 answered with a low voice, “I don’t know. The headquarters was furious about what
happened to Aglela and threatened to fire Mr. Dawson directly. But some higher-ups voiced their
objection. Now, he is in a state of expulsion. As for what will happen next, the headquarters is still
making their decision. We will try to fight for a chance too, but it takes time, and I’m afraid we can’t
change anything for now…” After that, he paused before looking up at Serena and added in a very
serious tone, “Please believe Mr. Dawson. That year, he… he was poisoned and was out of
consciousness, so he didn’t know that he hurt your sister and has a daughter! Otherwise, he would’ve
returned long ago. As the greatest hero in the world, he will never regret what he did! Even if the military
expels him, and even if he goes back in time a thousand times, he would still make the same choice!” As
Alpha 1 spoke, he thought of the scene where Joseph held Chloe in the pigsty before Joseph vomited
blood and fainted that night. With that, tears welled up in Alpha l’s eyes… “Boom… Suddenly, Serena
stood up and looked in the direction of Joseph before bursting into tears. At this moment, she no longer
had any resentment toward Joseph nor hated him for concealing his identity. How could she doubt a man
who was willing to give u everything for his wife and daughter? “Paige… you should know how much
Joseph has sacrificed for you and Chloe…” Serena murmured with tears in her eyes…
