Chapter 714
Joseph was feeling very down. Even though Cassie knew some fighting techniques now, facing four vicious thugs might still be too much for her. A pretty girl facing four men late at night, not only could she be overpowered, but she might also be assaulted.
He instinctively gripped the steering wheel tighter. " Her neighborhood is mostly filled with school district housing, with many students living there. The security measures are strong. How could they dare to break in at ten o'clock?"
"Yes, it's the first time such a brazen crime has happened there. The police have already caught the four men, but they said they just thought Cassie had money and wanted to steal valuable things from her place. But it's the first time I've seen robbers trash a place so badly that it's uninhabitable like they were seeking revenge."
Joseph's temples throbbed. After a moment, he said coldly, "Investigate if this has anything to do with Nathan."
An hour later, as he sat in his office, Nathaniel brought news. "Nathan's assistant transferred money to the families of those four habitual offenders, eighty thousand dollars each."
As soon as he finished speaking, Joseph, sitting in his leather chair, turned and threw the dart in his hand, hitting the bullseye on the dartboard hanging on the wall.
"Nathaniel, do you think I've been too lenient with Nathan?" Joseph's handsome face was clouded with anger, his lips forming a cold curve.
Nathaniel was speechless. Your leniency wasn't just ordinary; it was to the point of ignoring right and wrong.
But he still tactfully reminded, "Isn't it because of Megan?"
Joseph's eyes turned cold. He lowered his head and rubbed his tired temples.
Yes, it's all for Megan.
Three years ago, he didn't want to save Nathan, but because of Megan, he went against his conscience and saved him. As a result, Cassie hated him, and he had no choice but to imprison her, which led to everything that happened later. They lost their child.
Even earlier, he fought a case for Nathan that went against his conscience, destroying a family. What he got in return was not Nathan's change but his worsening behavior.
"Take the evidence to the police," Joseph suddenly said.
Nathaniel was slightly stunned, "But if Nathan finds out..."
"If she comes to me because of this, don't let her in," Joseph turned his leather chair to look out the floor-to-ceiling window.
"Okay." Nathaniel nodded, feeling somewhat relieved.
Joseph's conscience was finally awakening.
In the office.
Nathan was holding a secretary, caressing her nonstop, when suddenly an employee rushed in, panicking, "Something's wrong; the assistant was just taken away."
Nathan stood up abruptly, causing the secretary in his arms to fall to the ground with her clothes disheveled.
At this moment, he didn't care about her, quickly walking out while dialing Megan's number, "It's over. The assistant was really taken away."
