“Guards! Take him away!” Dennis ordered his men behind him after seeing Brooks act disrespectfully.
Suddenly, Brooks knelt and kowtowed to Joseph. “I’m sorry, Mr. Dawson! I have no idea that Paige is Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
your wife. If I had known, I wouldn’t have done it even if I had the guts to. Please forgive me! Please!
When he was shouting, two bodyguards held him and were about to drag him out. With that, his fear
intensified because he knew that his superior, Dennis, had a million ways to make him vanish without a
trace, let alone the unfathomable Joseph. On the other hand, Joseph mercilessly stared at Brooks, who
was still struggling and begging. For a split second, he had a strong urge to kill Brooks. However, even
if Brooks disappeared, Estella would still find Paige another man. Thinking of this, Joseph waved his
hand and asked Dennis to bring Brooks back. Overjoyed, Brooks quickly knelt in front of Joseph and
kowtowed profusely, “Please forgive me, Mr. Dawson! Please…” After taking a deep breath, Joseph
told Brooks, “Actually, I wanted to get rid of
you…”
When Brooks heard that, his body shook, and he no longer dared to speak as he continued kowtowing.
At that time, deep terror had overtaken him. Then, Joseph continued, “But never mind. Even if you’re
gone, my mother-in-law will still find Paige another man. How annoying. Just go ahead and meet her
tomorrow. You can decide what to say, but if you dare to reveal my identity, hehe…” Hearing that,
Brooks quickly shook his head. “I won’t, Mr. Dawson. Of course, I won’t. Please be rest assured. I know
what to do. I know…” Dennis snorted and looked at Brooks. “Humph! You’d better not try anything
stupid. Don’t forget that you are not an orphan…” As he spoke, he exuded a murderous intent. After all,
most people who could achieve such high status lịke him were mostly cold-hearted. Once again,
Brooks trembled before he promised, “I won’t, I won’t…” With that, Joseph waved Brooks off. Although
Joseph was irritated, he knew that many things couldn’t be rush because money and power weren’t
solutions for everything. At this moment, Paige’s words from the night before yesterday were
reverberating in his mind, “Joseph, we’ve never loved each other…” Paige was right. He had never
loved her, but he owed her too much…
Meanwhile, Alpha 1 and Serena were sitting opposite each other in the backyard of the club. On the
table, there were all kinds of delicious desserts. However, both of them were not in the mood to eat.
After a long silence, Alpha 1 sighed deeply and looked at Serena with complicated eyes. “Miss
Mooney, you shouldn’t have come today. Now that you’ve known something, Mr. Dawson might be very
passive in the future…” Even though Serena knew that she was in the wrong, she was still terribly
shocked. “I’m sorry, Mr. King. I know I was wrong…” “Sigh… forget it. Things have turned out this way,
but please keep a secret from your sister. It’s not that Mr. Dawson doesn’t want to reveal his identity to
you and Mrs. Dawson. It’s just that he has his difficulties.” Alpha 1 sighed again while the complexity in
his eyes grew. Right away, Serena raised her fingers and swore, “Please tell Joseph to rest assured. I
swear I will never let the cat out of the bag, but can I ask a question first? I was recruited by Mysticorps
Group yesterday. Was he behind this?” Alpha 1 nodded. “Yes. He sent me a WhatsApp message, and I
went to look for Ernie.” Oh, Ernie Green… Serena was bewildered again. Although Ernie was also a
top figure in Oplen, Joseph managed to make him complete a task without approaching him personally.
“How about Reuben, who looked for my sister this morning, and those 100 partners?” Serena asked
again. “Ernie arranged that under Mr. Dawson’s instruction…” Alpha I continued nodding. “Ernie Green,
Dennis Drake… Wait!” Something suddenly flashed through Serena’s mind, and she stood up with a
jerk. “So… the grand wedding that was suddenly announced by Dennis and Ernie yesterday is… is…”
Looking at Serena meaningfully, Alpha 1 nodded again. Perplexed, Serena could feel her jaw touch the
ground. It took her a long time to pull herself together… “Mr. King, I swear that I will keep it as a secret,
but may I know what position was Joseph holding in the military? Paige told me that he was fired by
them,” When she asked Alpha 1, her lips were dry, and her voice trembled. No matter how stupid she
was, she knew that’a person who could make the top leaders of Oplen obey must be someone with a
high rank. When Alpha 1 heard that, his heart missed a beat, and many thoughts flashed through his
mind. Then, he looked up at Serena and questioned her with a serious and complicated expression,
“Have you heard of the god of war in the military?” “What… what? God of war?” Serena’s mind, which
had yet to calm down, was once
again overcome by surprise. Alpha 1 nodded and gave Serena a deep stare. “Haha, you’ve heard it
right. Or else, what kind of person do you think can intimidate Dennis and Ernie then?” With a bang,
Serena slumped in her seat in dismay. Although she hadn’t graduated from college, she knew a thing
or two about Frogua’s military. That was because her first uncle’s son-Maxton Mooney-was serving
there as a mere lieutenant commander. Even so, the Mooneys, including Leonard, regarded Maxton as
the best junior in the family’s history. If that was the case, what about the god of war then? How much
higher was this position compared to a lieutenant commander? If calculated by rank, Joseph would be
a four-star general! Soon, she came back to her senses and asked Alpha 1, looking anxious, “Isn’t the
military being too strict? All Joseph did was beating Jaylah. Even if he broke Jaylah’s leg, it could still
be connected. They wouldn’t have to fire Joseph because of this, right?” By this time, her eyes had
become red. After Serena asked, Alpha 1 stared at her for a while before he looked down and uttered,
“Do you think that b*st*rd who locked Chloe in the pigsty and forced Mrs. Dawson to submit to him
would end up with just a simple beating?” Instantaneously, Serena’s face changed, and she asked,
“What… what do you mean by this…” In a low voice, Alpha l explained, “What I mean is what you’re
thinking right now. For the past few years, Mr. Dawson contributed to Frogua by wiping out one foreign
force after another on the extraterritorial battlefield and was willing to sacrifice everything to protect
Frogua. But his wife and daughter were being treated this way! So, if you were him, what would you
do?” Once again, Serena was bewildered, and her eyes were dull as she stuttered, “What… What
about the Kennedys in Apren City?” “They were wiped out… So, can you understand why he is fired
from the military now? He was in charge of the outer district’s military, and yet, he returned on his own
and committed a great crime. Sigh…” Alpha 1 muttered. “Can… can he return to the military again?”
Serena’s eyes became wet. With his head lowered, Alpha 1 answered with a low voice, “I don’t know.
The headquarters was furious about what happened to Aglela and threatened to fire Mr. Dawson
directly. But some higher-ups voiced their objection. Now, he is in a state of expulsion. As for what will
happen next, the headquarters is still making their decision. We will try to fight for a chance too, but it
takes time, and I’m afraid we can’t change anything for now…” After that, he paused before looking up
at Serena and added in a very serious tone, “Please believe Mr. Dawson. That year, he… he was
poisoned and was out of consciousness, so he didn’t know that he hurt your sister and has a daughter!
Otherwise, he would’ve returned long ago. As the greatest hero in the world, he will never regret what
he did! Even if the military expels him, and even if he goes back in time a thousand times, he would still
make the same choice!” As Alpha 1 spoke, he thought of the scene where Joseph held Chloe in the
pigsty before Joseph vomited blood and fainted that night. With that, tears welled up in Alpha l’s eyes…
“Boom… Suddenly, Serena stood up and looked in the direction of Joseph before bursting into tears. At
this moment, she no longer had any resentment toward Joseph nor hated him for concealing his
identity. How could she doubt a man who was willing to give u everything for his wife and daughter?
“Paige… you should know how much Joseph has sacrificed for you and Chloe…” Serena murmured
with tears in her eyes…
