Chapter 975 You Bastard
"I see." Michael was stunned. He had thought Megan would agree without hesitation.
It was like someone trying to borrow money from a close friend in a critical moment, only to find the friend making all sorts of excuses not to lend it.
"Forget it. It's late. I'll leave now. Take a rest." Michael waved his hand, not in the mood to stay any longer.
"Michael, I'm sorry. I can't help you at all." Megan looked guilty, almost on the verge of tears.
"It's okay. If Joseph needs money, Lucas and I can help. Forget it." Michael forced a smile at Megan before leaving the villa.
As he drove away, Michael glanced back at the villa. Although it was by the seaside, with fine sand and blue waters, it was the closest to the city center, making it the most expensive piece of beachfront property in all of Whisperlyn City. Joseph had bought it for seven million dollars back then, and now it was worth at least ten million dollars.
When Joseph broke up with Megan, he gave the villa to Megan without hesitation, while Mildred and Walter from the Hernandez family had to live in a villa worth only 140 thousand dollars in the suburbs.
Michael sighed, pondering, 'Well, it isn't fair to blame Megan. Since Joseph had given her the money, she had the right to dispose of it. Besides, it is tensof millions. As money is more important than anything, no one wants to give it away, not even someone as kind as Megan.'
At that moment, Lucas suddenly called Michael, "I caught Nathan."
"Where are you? I'll be right there." Michael immediately drove to a factory owned by the Nelson family.
When he arrived, Nathan was already tied up and thrown on the ground. Lucas was sitting on a chair nearby, dressed in an elegant suit, calmly cleaning his glasses.
When Lucas saw Michael, he glanced at him with calm eyes that seemed to hide turbulent undercurrents.
"Mr. Jude, help me!" Nathan shouted as soon as he saw Michael. "I didn't tell Leon to harm Joseph. Joseph helped me a lot before; I couldn't harm him. I just mentioned it casually when drinking with Leon. I'm innocent."
Michael kicked Nathan over. "If you're innocent, why did you run? You bastard, every time you do something bad, you try to run. I have a lot to settle with you, not to mention Joseph. Let's talk about the time you drugged Laura at my product launch party."
"I didn't! I don't have the guts," Nathan said.
"No guts? Then why did you flee the country the next day?." Michael kicked Nathan hard again. "Do you know you almost ruined me?"
Nathan was in pain all over but still gritted his teeth, claiming his innocence.
"Michael, step aside. You can't hurt him by doing like this." Lucas put on his glasses and stood up. His handsome face was gentle and elegant, but Nathan shivered inexplicably.
Among Joseph, Michael, and Lucas, Lucas usually spoke the least. On the surface, he was a doctor, but his methods were no less ruthless than Joseph's.
"Lucas, I swear, I wouldn't dare harm Joseph. Help me.It hurts so much." Before Nathan could finish, Lucas stepped on his hand.
"Nathan, over the years, you've relied on your sister Megan and us to do all sorts of arrogant things outside. Do you really think we don't know?" Lucas said slowly, but the pressure on his foot increased. "Joseph saved you time and again, and not only did you not appreciate it, but you also tried to frame him. You bastard!"
Nathan was in so much pain that he couldn't say a word. He even heard the sound of his finger bones breaking.
"Does anyone else know about this, or is someone behind you?" Lucas suddenly asked.
Nathan shook his head, his face pale, unable to speak.
Nathan wasn't stupid. Even if he mentioned Megan, Lucas wouldn't spare him. Besides, once Megan married into the Jude family, Nathan would seek revenge for today's humiliation.
"Make Nathan infertile," Lucas ordered his men.
Nathan's eyes widened in horror, but before he could say another word, he passed out from the pain.
Michael was also shocked. He had originally thought of just giving Nathan a beating. After all, he was Megan's brother. "Lucas, what happened to Joseph in prison is not Nathan's doing."
"I never said Nathan did it," Lucas said, lighting a cigarette. "I just give him a warning. As the Hernandez family may be down, I need to let people know the consequences of hurting Joseph."
"But isn't this a bit too bloody?" Michael said. "Nathan is, after all, Megan's brother."
"Megan's brother?" Lucas exhaled a puff of smoke slowly. "If it weren't for that, he wouldn't be discharged from prison until fifty or sixty years later. He committed so many crimes over the years: forcing female college students to jump off buildings, coercing pretty female employees into relationships, and drugging those he couldn't get. And all this while we knew about it. Now, Nathan even knows how to use others to bully Joseph. Nathan is beyond saving. I'm doing this to prevent him from harming others."
Michael fell silent, pondering, 'Nathan is indeed too vile and lawless.'
"Don't you feel ashamed? , Do you know how many women has he harmed over the years under our protection?" Lucas glanced at Michael expressionlessly.
"Alright, you're right. Megan is better off without such a brother." Michael nodded vaguely. "At least we spared Nathan's life."
Lucas glanced at his men. "Dump Nathan at the Zenith Group's front gate."
Two days later, Joseph returned from Silverwood to the Hernandez group.
Nathaniel had been following Mabel around for the past few days. When he saw Joseph return, he immediately came over to report on the company's situation.
He talked for a long time, but Joseph's eyes remained cold. It was still the same face, the same person, but Nathaniel, Joseph's closest assistant, felt that something was off about Joseph.
Joseph had always been kind though cold, but now he was like a dead without feelings.
"Mr. Hernandez, the Chamberlain family has been trying to contact the CEO of the Garrison Group these days, but this person is very mysterious. No one has seen him yet," Nathaniel said softly.
