Chapter 8
It was as if Paige had immersed herself in her own imagination. Indeed, she could hardly believe her
eyes! Joseph appeared at her most desperate moment. Her long-repressed helplessness made her
tears pour out at once. How could Joseph, who had stopped the car, not feel the same? After five years,
when he saw Paige again, he felt nothing but guilt. She was the one who pulled him out of the endless
abyss, yet he hurt her… “I..” Bethany had planned to turn around, but when she saw this scene, she was
so surprised that her eyes almost popped out. After all, she could not believe that a man could stop a car
with a single hand! Standing still, she was completely lost in thought. At the sight of this man who could
stop a car in a manner, a horrifying yet realistic idea arose in Bethany’s mind. Could he be Chloe’s
father? In that case, he would be Paige’s husband! Bang When the rear of the car fell down, the entire
car swayed. Even the crumple zone of the car had completely sunken. Smoke was coming out from the
engine, while the windshield was broken. At this point, there was no longer any barrier between Joseph
and Paige. Running out of the car, Jaylah looked at Joseph in horror and despair. He was incredibly
frightened. “Who are you? What are you trying to do… My father is Brandon Kennedy! He is the richest
man in Apren City.” “Everyone, get over here.”
The men in the two cars behind him immediately rushed down. All the while, Joseph ignored Jaylah, who

everything for him back then, almost ended up having her life ruined. Thus, Joseph felt extremely guilty.
“I’m sorry… I came late.” Joseph added in a hoarse voice, “You and Chloe have suffered so much… I…”
“Joseph!” Paige seemed to have mixed feelings. In her heart, she practiced
countless times how she would scold him when they reunited. However, when she eventually met him
once again, she could do nothing but cry. Running over, Bethany noticed that her best friend was indeed
acquainted with this powerful man. As such, she knew that her initial guess was right. This was the man
who made Paige suffer for five years. Just as Bethany was about to question him, she suddenly noticed
a large group of people rushing toward her with knives in their hands. “Run!” With no time to question
him, Bethany urged in panic. Jaylah, who had regained his senses, looked maliciously at Joseph and
Paige. The moment his underlings arrived, he instantly lost all his fear from before. With his vicious eyes
fixed on Joseph, he ordered, “Kill him!” These two words carried an indescripable hateful intent! As soon
as he finished speaking, the seven or eight men with knives immediately rushed toward Joseph. In fact,
they all aimed at the vital parts of his body! “Don’t-” Terrified, Paige let out a cry. After all, Paige and
Joseph had just reunited. Could it be that they would part forever this time? Joseph remained unfazed.
Thus, everyone on the spot was already terrified by him. Both Paige and Bethany were anxious. How
could Joseph remain calm and stand still like that? What was he trying to do? A thug holding a baseball
bat rushed toward Joseph with fierce eyes. It seemed that he was aiming at his head. However, Joseph
suddenly moved. With a casual grab, the baseball bat instantly fell into Joseph’s hand. Bang! Joseph
struck the punk with his bat and sent him flying. The thug probably weighed around a hundred sixty or
seventy pounds. How could he be sent flying? “Kill him!” Jaylah frowned. When he saw Joseph
approaching with a baseball bat in his hand, he immediately let out a sharp roar. Backing away in fear,
Jaylah then swallowed his saliva and frantically urged his men to counterattack. However, it was
completely useless! Joseph’s every step was steady, and the killing intent in his heart had surged to a
level like never before. If not for the fact that he wanted Jaylah to be scared and desperate, Joseph
would have killed him long ago. However, thinking how miserable Paige and Chloe had lived in the past
five years, how could he let Jaylah die so quickly? After all, Jaylah hurt Joseph’s loved ones. Thus, he
had to make Jaylah understand that death would be a luxury. Not only Jaylah, but also the entire
Kennedy family! Bang! Bang! Bang! Every time Joseph wielded the stick, there would be a bone fracture.
It was almost impossible for anyone hit by Joseph to stand up after. “Don’t come over… My father is
Brandon Kennedy… If you dare lay a finger on me, you are dead,” Jaylah threatened in a trembling
voice. Bang! “Ah=”Jaylah screamed. Joseph had broken his right leg. “Don’t kill me. I’ll give you money.
One million? Or ten million?” Both Paige and Bethany’s faces changed dramatically. Everything
happened so fast that they did not even have time to react. “Joseph, don’t be impulsive.” Paige wished
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthat Jaylah would die, but she did not want Joseph to get implicated. However, Joseph kept striking as if
he had not heard her at all. Bang! Bang! Bang! Jaylah continued screaming. His limbs were all broken
and blood was all over his body! “You… You are dead for sure… The Kennedy family will not let you off
so easily…”
The gangsters threatened Joseph. However, when Joseph looked up, he sent a chill down the spines of
these gangsters. At the sight of Jaylah, who had been beaten into a pulp, Bethany was terrified. Indeed,
she was dumbfounded. After all, this man was Jaylah! He was the sole heir of the Kennedy family. At this
point, how could the Kennedy family let Joseph off? “It’s over. You are too impulsive,” Bethany said in
distress.
“I’m not impulsive at all. With his personality, do you think he will back off peacefully?” Joseph retorted.
Bethany was rendered speechless for a moment. “Joseph, he’s kidnapped your daughter, Chloe..” Paige
said eagerly. “Don’t worry. She is fine.” Joseph seemed slightly more at ease. “I found her already. She is
sleeping now.” Noticing that Paige did not seem to believe him, Joseph reassured in a more serious
tone, “Trust me, she’s fine. I found her earlier.” Hearing this, Paige could not hold it in any longer.
Throwing herself into Joseph’s arms, she instantly burst into tears. After all, the pressure she bore was
too immense. At this point, she finally could not bear it anymore.
