A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 591

Chapter 591

Joseph never expected Lextoget personally involved. She invited him into her car for a conversation.

Joseph exclaimed, “A beautiful woman in a beautiful car! What’s going on with me today? Every woman I run into is gorgeous. Is my lucky streak with women finally catching up with me?”

Joseph got into the car and joked around shamelessly, making no attempt to hide the fact that he was openly checking out Lexi’s chest and thighs.

Joseph was seriously a pervert. That was Lexi’s opinion of him. She replied, “You’re quite the popular man. You’re Yara’s physician, and you’re one of Cora’s favored guests.”

Joseph was shocked. “That flattery is meant to kill me. If I actually believed you, I would probably be dead before long. I’m not the kind of guy who does anything without getting something out of it, and I don’t believe in free handouts. So, if you want information from me, what are you offering me in return?”

Joseph already knew a little about Lexi’s personality. Women like her weren’t easy to deal with. As long as he had something she wanted, he had room to negotiate.

Lexi asked, “If I want to know what you and Cora were discussing earlier, how much do you want?”

Joseph didn’t answer the question directly. Anything involving him was likely a trap, so the safest move was to avoid it. He responded, “If Cora asked me how much I would charge to tell her about you and me, how much do you think she would offer?”

Lexi chuckled, but she was slightly irritated. She had investigated Henry’s background. He was completely ordinary. He was just some nobody who normally wouldn’t even have the chance to speak to someone like her. Yet somehow, he had connections to both Yara and Cora.

Lexi asked, “Can you help me find Joseph?”

Joseph replied, “You’re giving me way too much credit. You, Cora, Yara, and the others have been searching for him, and none of you has found a thing. Why would you assume I know where he is?”

Lexi fell silent. She wondered if she had overestimated Joseph. However, in the next moment, his words lifted her spirits. He said, “I don’t know where Joseph is, but I might know what he’s going to do next. He has probably taken on a private job. He’s preparing for a major surgery.”

Lexi quickly asked, “What kind of surgery?”

Joseph paused. He stopped talking and just looked at Lexi with a smile. She immediately showed him her account balance. There were tens of millions of dollars in it. She stated, “As long as you’re willing to tell me, I will give you a generous amount.”

Joseph chuckled. “So, you’re wealthy. I failed to recognize a rich woman when I saw one. My apologies. Let’s consider this my way of knocking on your door. How about we become friends?”

Joseph grinned. He didn’t take the money. Instead, he told her about the surgery he had mentioned to Cora previously. It was the surgery that he was supposedly preparing to perform next.

Lexi questioned, “A kneecap surgery? Is it difficult?”

Joseph answered, “Normally, it isn’t difficult. Since the surgery will be performed by Joseph, it probably isn’t ordinary. Otherwise, why would he go through all this trouble?

“I guess one of those wealthy families who couldn’t get a difficult surgery done elsewhere found Joseph and convinced him to take the case. Such a surgery usually requires a fully equipped medical team and proper facilities.

“In Jenton, there are only a handful of places capable of handling similar major surgeries. Jenton University Hospital, Traditional Medicine Center, the Women and Children’s Hospital, Jenton General Hospital, and the sanatorium would probably be his first choices.

“OLLourse, there could be other hospitals too. That depends on the information you people have. You asked if the surgery was difficult. If someone’s kneecap had been removed and they wanted it repaired, would you consider that difficult? It definitely is.”

Lexi was delighted. “This formation is useful to ine. I’ll transfer the money to you right now How much do you want?”
