Chapter 87: Who Exactly Are You?

After preparing for all these matters, Lucy suddenly approached Joseph. She looked at Joseph with a solemn expression. "Who exactly are you?" Joseph didn't expect her to ask him that question. It seemed like a simple question, but how should he answer it? He couldn't very well say that he was the leader of Hell, the founder of the organization. The reputation of the Hell organization wasn't good outside. If Lucy became unhappy after hearing about it, what would he do then? Especially since he was worried Lucy might overthink things. If she did, it would not be beneficial for him. Everyone around them was listening, so Joseph kept thinking, trying to come up with an answer that would not only resolve Lucy's doubts but also be definitive. "Actually, I'm from New York, Joseph from New York." It turned out Joseph was from New York! Everyone understood immediately. If he could make a name for himself in New York, he couldn't be an ordinary person! Several people exchanged glances, now understanding how to deal with the situation. No wonder everyone had to treat Joseph so well; he wasn’t an ordinary person! Moreover, Lucy's family was also taken aback. "He's from New York?" "Why didn't we know this before!" "Oh my god, if he had been with Lucy earlier, would we have faced all these problems?" "We should have let him be with Lucy from the start!" Tangna, hearing that Joseph was from New York, grinned. "No wonder Daddy is so amazing; he's from New York." "Wow, Daddy, you're really awesome!" Joseph watched the cheering crowd, a flicker of doubt crossing his mind. He felt that Lucy might know something and that her question was a test. Tangna, unaware of the complexities, turned to her mom. "Mommy, if you marry Daddy, will we also become New Yorkers?" "Wow, that would be so interesting!" Knowing that being associated with New York meant being rich and powerful, Lucy began to feel anxious. She worried that Joseph might want to marry her on a whim. She had heard that many people in New York liked to play around with models. She started wondering if Joseph wanted to marry her out of love or for some other reason. "Mommy, when can we become New Yorkers?" Hearing Tangna's question, Lucy turned to her. "Sweetheart, do you really want to be a New Yorker?" "Do you know what New Yorkers do?" Tangna was taken aback. "I, I don't really know." "But I really want to be a New Yorker." Knowing that New York was the biggest city around, Tangna thought being a New Yorker would mean less work and more enjoyment. Joseph understood his daughter's thoughts just by looking at her. However, now was not the time for him to return to New York. Things had to be done step by step. Otherwise, handling Kerry's matters wouldn't be easy. Joseph wanted to return to his family. He wanted to know what had become of his sister. If his sister was still in a pitiful state, Joseph wouldn't know how to face her. For Joseph, the so-called New Yorker status was just a small matter among many he could handle. His identity in New York was just a title. For Joseph, gradually revealing everything to Lucy was what mattered. Seeing Tangna's excitement, Lucy had no choice but to nod. "Alright, alright, I won't say anything more. You can become a New Yorker." Tangna jumped up in joy. "Great, I'm going to be a New Yorker!" "This is so wonderful!" "Awesome!" Seeing Tangna so happy, Lucy was at a loss for what to do. Was this a good thing for them? Tangna’s happiness was undoubtedly good, but what about the future with Joseph? Would it be smooth sailing? Joseph didn't think too much about it and said to Tangna casually. "Tangna, Daddy bought a house in Florida. Do you want to go there first with Daddy?" "After we take care of these matters, we'll go to New York, okay?" "Daddy has some business to attend to in Florida." For Joseph, going to New York would definitely be a battle. Over the past five years, Tangna and Lucy had suffered enough. They shouldn't have to suffer anymore in the future. Joseph planned to take them wherever he went, ensuring they felt the happiest. But he also didn't want them to know what suffering was. He didn't want to see pain clouding the eyes of the mother and daughter. Going to Florida now was part of that plan. As for whether their wedding would be in Florida or New York, it didn’t really matter. Hearing Joseph's words, Tangna smiled and said, "Wow, Daddy, that's great! When can we go? I've never been there!" "Daddy, are we going now?" Joseph smiled at Tangna. "We'll go whenever you say." "But you should also ask Mommy what she thinks." Tangna immediately went to her mom. "Mommy, I want to go to Florida with Daddy. Will you come with us?" "Oh, Mommy, please say yes." Although Lucy didn’t want to go directly, seeing Tangna so happy left her with little choice. She nodded. "Alright, let's pack our things and go to Florida tomorrow." At the hospital, Lissandra was still waiting outside the operating room. Jenna’s condition was uncertain, and no one knew if she would survive. Lissandra anxiously called her parents. "Mom, Dad, your daughter is being bullied like this. I don't know what you'll do about it!" "If I were you, I'd give that Joseph a hard time when he gets to Florida!" "Otherwise, Jenna's suffering will be in vain!"
