The Joy of Revenge

CHAPTER 97 Nurse Sebastian I stood stunned, hearing Joy refer to herself as Mrs. Liam Cohen. I thought it would take a little bit more… persuasion. I also felt a tug in my heart. As much as I didn’t want to admit it, but it hurt to know Joy was about to accept a marriage proposal from someone else even though I knew it was for another purpose. I had always imagined she would eventually get married to one of us to cement her position among the Blood Disciples. Stop it, Sebastian. She’ll be a widow soon enough. “Bo explained if I do marry Liam, I could erase the Cohen name from memory and destroy everything they’ve built once he dies. It’s something I’ve wished for ever since I woke up in the hospital after I was raped. Back then, I believed it would never become a reality, but now, it has become a possibility,” Joy gushed happily. I grinned at her. She looked so pleased. Luckily, Xavier had gotten through to her after I failed to convince her earlier. He and Joy have always had this connection which I’ve always been envious of. Xavier, I believed, had a gift. “Fortunately, Liam agreed to be at the ribbon cutting tomorrow at ten,” Joy said, walking behind her counter. “But we have another problem. Theodore Cohen is awake and they’re moving him to the mansion soon to recover.” “I’ll handle Theodore,” I said, walking around her so I could check the wires and conne of the POS system. “I saw from the CCTV cameras you were given a note earlier. What o say?” “I’ll see you soon. P, she answered. I grimaced. Pete was relentless. “When Lou gets here, I’ll be going to Bismarck to check if the information Marla gave me is correct. I asked Chip to pull out the information I need, but he’s busy at the moment. He said they’ve bumped

into Nicole and Noah in the Windy City,” I said while I took a price tag to test if the barcode scanner worked properly. Joy stood right beside me watching me use her POS system. 1/5 CHAPTER 97 Nurse to Nicole. Yesterday, I caught them fighting here of all places. “What about?” I asked, scanning the tag. It beeped showing the price on the monitor. I pressed on pay and entered a number higher than the price scanned, then I pressed enter. The cash drawer opened without a problem. “They were fighting about a woman with black hair, she answered as she crossed her arms and tapped her foot, glaring at the cash drawer. Of course the cash drawer will open for you.” Joy scoffed and pursed her lips. Nicole knows about Sarah Hughes. That I didn’t expect. “So Nicole knows Noah is doing Sarah Hughes too, but they’re still together. I’m impressed,” I said. “That will be one messy love triangle though. If Sarah becomes mayor and Noah decides to marry her, that will leave a spiteful Nicole. I wonder how he’ll be able to work around her.” “He’ll probably keep her as his mistress,” Joy smirked. I looked at her appalled she would say such a thing. “Why are you looking at me like that? You don’t think Noah won’t smooth-talk his way in keeping Nicole in his bed?” Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

“Maybe, but I have a feeling Nicole won’t like it, I said, taking my credit card from my wallet to test the credit card reader. “Of course she won’t like it, but she’s in love with him. It’s either that or she loses him forever. But if I were Nicole, I would leave town and move on,” Joy stated matter-of-factly. “Anyway… what information are you going to check in Bismarck?” “The location of Pete’s safe house. Pete plans to abduct you during the Spring Formal and once he has you, he’ll need to hide you from Liam,” I said while I tried to pay using my card. A receipt came out of

the card reader indicating a successful transaction. I smiled while Joy rolled her eyes in frustration. “Marla says Pete has a sprawling brick mansion on the top of Huff Hills, but she also said she heard him mention a property near the Missouri River, a small cabin on Red River Hills. According to Joan Summers’ file, Liam knows the safe house on Huff Hills, so I’m guessing Pete won’t dare bring you there.” She heaved a huge sigh of relief. “It’s good we know where Pete may hide once he’s here,” she said. “Once I confirm all of Pete’s properties, I’ll have our men surround the area.

She quickly bounced on Link, hitting and licking him 215 ti CHAPTER 97 Nurse while screaming on the top of her lungs. I had to pull her away. “Virtue had to drug your mother or the both of them would’ve been killed,” Link explained after I had subdued Marla. “The effects should wear off in about an hour or so.” “Place her in one of the rooms on the second floor, Link, I said. “How’s Virtue?” “She was smiling when I left her at New Salem… happy to have helped, Link answered before entering the elevator. “So it’s true? Miss Virtue helped my mother? She’s trained to do all that stuff?” Marla asked shocked. “I thought she was just this pretty woman out to get all the men.” “Well, she is out to get all the men and she’s succeeding,” I said.

“You love her, don’t you?” Marla asked. “I do. She means a lot to me, I answered truthfully. “Then why date me if you’re in love with her? Don’t you know I’ve fallen in love with you?” She asked, tears forming in her eyes. could give “I needed information, Marla, and I had to make you fall in love with me, so you me that information freely,” I answered. She shook her in disbelief realizing I had played her. “I’m so sorry, Marla. I hope we can be friends.” I put a hand on her arm to comfort her while she cried quietly. “Did you make her come here to help you get Pete?” Marla asked after she compose “Not exactly. Virtue has an agenda of her own,” I admitted. “So, what happens now? My mom and I can’t go back home.” “You’ll be moving to Las Vegas. Honestly, Marla, you re beautiful on stage. I want you to channel that beauty and get me information from certain men who enter a club of mine there. A new identity, house and car will be waiting for you. Unfortunately, your mother will enter a rehab center once you arrive. When she has embraced sobriety, I will have her become one of the hosts of the club. She will have a job which can sustain the both of you while you finish school.” My phone suddenly pinged.

Pete might have people watching us,” Joy said. “I will.” While I dialed a number on my phone, I walked through the short hallway to exit through the wall panel. After we found out Abigail was the one who saved joy, we had three nurses of our own apply when we heard there was a vacancy. Only two were hired, but that was enough to have eyes, ears and hands in the hospital.

One of them was feeling homesick after only a week of working here. She wasn’t accustomed to the quiet and the mundane. Luckily, the nurse was assigned to Theodore. “Emma, I need you to give Theodore an insulin overdose,” I said as I walked out of the wall panel. “My shift doesn’t start until tomorrow morning, she replied. “That’s perfect. I need you to do it around ten in the morning when the mayor is busy doing other things.” POST Chapter Comments Luna Mon Oh dear Joy you really have such a terrible time ahead of you.
