Chapter 143: Schooling a Wicked Woman

Joseph's sister and grandfather were worried that Joseph might suffer. Even though they didn't know that Joseph was actually their long-lost brother and grandson, they couldn't bear to let him face danger, even if he was just an ordinary person. They didn't want Joseph to get hurt either. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Jinkate came into the hospital room with his son and their family experts. When Joseph's grandfather saw them, he tried to get out of bed to stop these people, but he was too weak to move. Jinx, along with the others, saw the old man's attempt and sneered. "Your legs are already broken, and you still want to get up? Don't make us laugh!" Nami quickly went to Jinkate. "Uncle, please don't harm Joseph. I was almost kidnapped today, and if it weren't for him, I might have died!" But Jinkate didn't even acknowledge them. "What? Just because he saved you, he has the right to hit my wife? Shut up! Ha!" Jinkate scoffed. Nami's face turned pale upon hearing Jinkate's words. She couldn't believe her uncle would say something like that. What happened to her uncle? Why had he suddenly become like this? She couldn't believe her eyes. Even though she'd heard that her uncle had a bad temper, she didn't expect it to be this bad! "You outsiders shouldn't meddle here! Get out of here!" Seeing these people, the old man was furious, but his body couldn't support him. He could only muster the strength to shout this sentence. When Jinkate heard the old man, he let out a cold laugh. "I suggest you stay put! Or I'll knock you out and throw you by the window!" How could he speak like this to his own father? Joseph couldn't hold back any longer. He stepped forward. "You know I hit your wife, but do you know why I did it?" Jinkate rolled his eyes. "What does that have to do with me!" Joseph squinted his eyes. "I have a recording. If you're not afraid of being humiliated, I can play it for you." After hearing this, Jinkate suddenly slapped his wife, Jinx. "I told you to come here to take care of my father, but what did you do? How did you treat him? He's been so good to you all these years, and this is how you repay him!" "Has a dog eaten your heart? You're not even human!" The more he spoke, the angrier he became, and he was about to hit his wife again. Jinx, after being slapped, held her stinging cheek and cried pitifully. "Sob... I didn't mean it..." "Sob..." Hearing her cries, Jinkate felt a little guilty but mostly disgusted. "I don't need a whimpering woman to take care of me! Get out now!" After saying this, he went over to his father and helped him up. Vincent, Jinx's son, approached them. "What do you mean by this! Dad, this is too much. You know mom was already hit, and now you do this to her. Are you even human?" Jinkate didn't care at all. "Do you know who your mom was schooling? It was my dad! It's like she doesn't even respect me!" The meaning was clear enough. Jinkate didn't necessarily care for Joseph's grandfather. But when someone attacked his father, it felt like an attack on his authority. That was why he was angry. Joseph watched this silently from the side. Jinkate understood that this was his wife's issue, so he didn't say more to Joseph. He coughed awkwardly and said with some embarrassment, "I was too hot-headed earlier, I'm sorry, please forgive me." Joseph didn't speak but shook his head. Jinkate chuckled awkwardly. Silently, Jinkate promised himself that he'd clear this up with the old man later. He didn't want this kind of daughter-in-law anymore. Otherwise, he'd really become a laughingstock. "So what do you want to do?" Joseph thought for a moment and finally spoke. "It's okay, I know you were just anxious." Joseph didn't see the need to argue with him. After finishing, he added, "By the way, it's a coincidence we met, so I'll tell you something. Starting today, the Kerry family is headed for bankruptcy. Not only that, but the Lucian family will also face trouble. So what you should do now is seize the opportunity to soar." Jinkate was surprised to hear this from Joseph. However, he didn't take Joseph's words to heart. After all, the two families he mentioned were the most powerful in New York. The Kerry family had no shortage of money, and the Lucian family had abundant connections. Seeing Jinkate's disbelief, Joseph said coolly, "You don't believe me?" "Of course, I believe you, but..." "If you believe it, then go ahead and leave." After Joseph said this, he turned and went inside. After Joseph left, Jinkate had a strange expression. Joseph just said that the Lucian and Kerry families were going to face ruin, but was that true? If it was true, how did he know? Jinkate frowned and looked at his family. "How does he know? Did he investigate secretly?" At this moment, Vincent couldn't help but ask. Seeing their interest in the matter, Joseph turned back to explain. "This isn't just my guess." "Even though the Lucian family is powerful, listen to me." "This time, both the Lucian and Kerry families are bound to stumble." "And if you don't take advantage of this opportunity to climb up, you might not get another chance." Jinx's eyes flickered. "Dad, if what he says is true, then he's right. If we don't seize the opportunity now, the road ahead will only get tougher." Jinkate looked at his son and finally sighed. "Alright, since you've both decided, I won't say much. Anyway, I'll do what I must."
