Unnecessary?
Joaquin was dragged out in the middle of the night in a bloody scene.
It was also fortunate that his status was relatively stable in the past few years, otherwise,
the matter would have already spread to the ears of the Donways.
Although the other man was too lazy to ask, he still complained, "It's really quite
outlandish. They didn't show mercy at all."
Joaquin sneered, "Mercy? That is always given for outsiders to see. The Levisays have no
such need."
Since he was 5 or 6 years old, these things happened all the time.
During that time, his mother committed suicide by jumping off the building, then another
woman entered the family and took up her position the next month.
At first, he did not understand why everyone treated him differently until he met his
relatives from his mother's side.
It was also from then that he realized everyone wanted to join the Levisays and how
complicated the family was. As he grew older, he realized that his understanding was just
the tip of the iceberg.

On the surface, the Levisays were a wealthy and powerful family in Hovington. They had
their own share of skeletons in the closet, and blood relatives were not worth mentioning
at all.
There were only selfish interests and endless struggles.
Joaquin could not remember how many attempts on his life there had been. Every time, he
would get treated before walking out like nothing had happened at all.
Unnecessary?
Joaquin was dragged out in the middle of the night in a bloody scene.
The last car accident did not kill him, so he used the excuse of his poor health to find a
woman to monitor him.
Joaquin had long been used to all this. In a marriage among the wealthy, the least
important thing was true love, because these people were not worthy of love at all.
"I heard that they have begun to doubt you. You will not keep pretending to be a cripple,
right?" the man asked.
Pretending to be a cripple?
Joaquin said indifferently, "I'm really a cripple now. Do you want to check?"
"It's hard to say." The man shrugged and leaned on the table.
Seeing the doctors wrap the gauze around Joaquin's legs and the contents on the tray
dyed red, the man couldn't help frowning. "Joaquin, I heard that the woman has returned
to Cechirus."
Joaquin extinguished the cigarette in his hand and said in a calm tone, "The Cornell
woman?"
"Who else is there beside her?" The man snorted twice. "In the eyes of the Cornells, even
if you are lame, you are a fat piece of juicy meat. Just looking at you makes their eyes
aglow. How can they not eat you up?"
A look of contempt appeared on his handsome face; obviously, he had been investigating
the Cornells for a long time.
"This daughter of the Cornells has been discarded abroad since she was a child. I guess
she is also illiterate. Although she looks fair and pretty in the photo, I don't think she's
much better than that father of hers. Moreover, she did not take classes at all when she

was abroad, but I found someone to follow up on her and identified the computer she was
using…"
He made a symbol with his hands and raised his eyebrows. "How can a girl with no
financial resources be able to afford this kind of computer? Her father Jorge is penniless
too."
Joaquin looked at the man who was talking so much in front of him. The man had said so
much just to make the point that this so-called eldest daughter of the Cornells, who had
agreed to be married to Joaquin since birth, was just another woman who was a
materialistic gold-digger who was exactly the same as her other family members.
Speaking of women, Joaquin encountered one who was different tonight.
She was quick and wild like a cat. Her innate wildness instantly aroused his desire to
conquer her.
He had not felt this way for many years, but unfortunately, he met her at the wrong time…
"What are you thinking about?"
The sudden voice interrupted Joaquin's flashback. He looked at the man in front of him,
still chattering away.
"That's why I'm saying that you have to be careful. She is a gold digger, and she might
have been bought by those Donway people."
The man paused, before continuing, "Also, if you really want to get engaged to that
Cornell woman, have you ever thought about what would happen to Beatrice?"
