A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 82

Chapter 82

The doorbell rang. Joseph went outside to check and saw a delivery truck carrying aquarium tanks. Wendy from Celestial Farm had come to deliver the expensive carp.

Joseph glanced at the delivery receipt. Only Wendy’s name appeared on it. There were no other

suspicious people with the same surname as her.

He said, “I’m not interested in raising carp anymore. Take them back.”

“Your wife bought these fish. She specifically asked me to teach you how to care for them,” replied Wendy. Even now, she still disliked Joseph because of what had happened last time. Nonetheless, she restrained herself. After all, he was still technically a customer.

Upon hearing that, Joseph thought of an idea. He gave Cora a call and asked, “Darling, didn’t you enjoy the carp banquet last time? I can make another one for you today.”

“Joe, stop being ridiculous. Those are the carp I want to raise. They’re supposed to bring me good luck,” answered Cora.

“What era are we living in? Why do you still believe in such nonsense? Eating well, sleeping well, and staying healthy is what actually brings good luck,” said Joseph.

Then, he ended the call and turned to Wendy, wanting her to unload the carp. In the next second, he grabbed one of the carp and slammed it violently onto the ground in front of everyone.

“You all should stay back. I’ll make a fish banquet for you too,” said Joseph.

“You’re sick!” Wendy cried out. She cared a lot about these carp. As she hurried over and picked up the unconscious carp, her face was filled with distress. The fury in her eyes looked sharp enough to kill Joseph.

However, Joseph’s response was simple. He picked up another carp and slammed it onto the ground as well.

“This man is insane! Hurry up and load the carp back onto the truck,” ordered Wendy.

“Wait! Are these your carp? My wife has already bought them. They belong to us. If you dare to load them. back, I won’t let you all leave!” Joseph shouted, stunning everyone present.

Joseph added, “By the way, when I’m working, don’t come in without knocking next time. We may be married, but basic respect still matters. You may leave.”

Cora hadn’t expected Joseph to make things difficult to this extent. She stopped outside, then immediately knocked on the door before entering again. She asked, “Why haven’t you returned to the hospital?”

Joseph responded, “Return? What’s the point? To make money? If you want me to make money, I would earn far more working at your company instead. But do you actually need me to make money?”

“Isn’t it your career? You love being a doctor. Saving lives is the thing you care about most,’ said Cora

Joseph stated, “I’m still studying medicine. I can only save more lives by improving myself. Cora, when it comes to my job, you’re an outsider. If you don’t understand it, don’t interfere.”

“Fine. I don’t understand, so I won’t interfere anymore. Do whatever you want,” replied Cora

Once Cora left the study, her gaze turned cold. To her, Joseph had become nothing more than a thorn She had to give him something to do so that he could be tamed.
