Enchanted By His Charm



At the very beginning, when Irish knew that the Key Group would purchase the Runestone Group, Irish was really surprised. She asked Joseph immediately, but Joseph didn't talk much and just said that he supported the Key Group's plan.

Observing the circumstances, Irish recognized that the Runestone Group had lost its former strength. Additionally, Roy's disinterest in the company further solidified her decision. Consequently, Irish chose to sign a contract with Leo, pursuing an alternative path in her professional endeavors.

As she signed, she was thinking of another thing.

Why did Joseph give it up? Or did he have other plans? William was finally judged guilty.

He was charged with suspicion of murder. On the one hand, he murdered Ruby with an object out of interest. On the other hand, he made up an accident to kill Roy, which caused one death. He also destroyed the evidence, disturbed the police's investigation, and killed one more life.

He got cumulative punishment.

However, he had a sound attitude in that he admitted his crimes, so he could be exempted from the death penalty and was condemned to life imprisonment. If he behaved in a good manner, it was possible for him to get a punishment cut. He also gave up his intention to appeal and submitted to this judgment. In this way, these murder cases were finally dealt with.

The media had to exclaim that once a gorgeous group ended up with such internal grabbing, which was really pitiful.

It was in the Center For Anti-Drug. 

Jay was in a meeting.

The slide showed the crime data in the first half-year.

"In recent years, the murder cases have increased year on year. The Anti-Drug actions have increased by 37.6% compared with the same period of last year, and drug addiction cases have had a 45% year-on-year growth. Cases of hiding drugs, inciting others to take drugs have increased by 25.8%."

Hearing this data, Jay frowned. After the meeting, Jay came back to the office. One subordinate followed him behind. After closing the door, he reported to Jay, "The batch of drugs searched out last night has been confirmed to belong to evil angel, but the suspects arrested by us had an accident."

"What?" Jay frowned tightly. It was not good to hear such bad news after having a meeting. 

His subordinate was also serious, "They ...committed suicide."

"What?" Jay patted the table, "They committed suicide? How did they make it?" At the very beginning, he realized that something bad might occur, so he made arrangements on the way in case somebody would kidnap those suspects, but he had never thought that those drug dealers would have committed suicide.

"How's everything going?"

His subordinate said, "Two were dead, while one was still in rescue."

"His life must be guaranteed!" Jay clenched his fists. If this clue was lost, he didn't know when he could find something out about the evil angel.

"Yes, sir. Many colleagues are in the hospital." His subordinate said, "In the car, they committed suicide by using handcuffs. To prevent this from happening again, we will wait outside of the ward at every moment."

Jay nodded.

He felt so furious.

"Carmen's situation now is quite stable. She has been detained in prison. Please watch her carefully. Maybe there are some beneficial clues."

Joseph made use of his social relationship to find someone who threatened him. The man called "Scar" himself was Stone, and his wife was Gina. Joseph's memory went back.

Gina was not as beautiful as Joseph's mother, but she was more enchanting.

Joseph only met her once. What impressed him most were her attractive eyes, which were just like a beautiful snake. Actually, at that time, he knew what had happened to her and his father. He feared his father would no longer love him and his mother.

Gina's husband finally talked with Joseph's father with great anger.

It was in his father's factory. At that time, Joseph was helping his father.

Joseph knew Gina's husband, who was quite strong. The most unforgettable mark was the scar on his face. He heard that Stone used to be handsome but got wounded during a battle. His face became ugly then.

He warned Joseph's father not to be with Gina, while Joseph's father just asked what happened to Gina.

Stone just said that it was none of his business.

"Stone, you are the cruelest one. If you hadn't let your wife take drugs, how could she have jumped from the building because of having enough struggle?" 

Joseph stopped recalling the past and just lit a cigar. There was coldness on his face.

He had the impulsion to kill Stone to vent his hatred. If it hadn't been for Gina, his mother would never have been depressed.

There was obvious hatred in Stone's eyes, "I can only stop her from meeting your father in this way."

"All of these resulted from your family's actions. If it hadn't been for your father, I would not have departed from Gina." Stone stared at Joseph angrily, "I could have enjoyed prosperity and gained more, but what kind of life have I led during these years? I am just like a rat, threatened by your father first and then by you."

Gina, Stone's wife, was the Cesare in the Group. She was a dangerous person who was good at seizing humanity's shortcomings and making good use of their veracity to achieve her goal. She had stronger power in maintaining contact with many people, ranging from politicians worldwide to average employees. She did something to flatter them. She was really a cruel, bad, and ruthless woman.

Of course, she was the one who had the worst private life.

She loved men with good looks. The reason why she married Stone was that she loved his good-looking appearance. When Stone's face was disfigured, she was surrounded by more men.

Cesare had the ability to motivate humanity's evil personality; however, she was also harmed by it. 

Stone was just like a piece of limp lettuce now. He broke down and just shook his head.

"Joseph!" Stone stared at him with cold eyes, "The man who raped your wife is still alive. He is alive. I will never tell you who he is. Never! I want you to be tortured. I want you to feel it is hard to live."

One day, Joseph called Tim. He wanted to search for some information about Irish's memory.

"So, you adopted some measures on Irish's memory." Joseph felt heartbroken. He couldn't imagine that scene.

Tim explained, "Human brain has a protection mechanism. The less a child is, the more fragile her memory is. It is the same case with Irish. As I checked Irish's condition in the ward, I found that she had accidentally forgotten something. It is a kind of human nature. I feared she would recall it later, so I did hypnosis for her."

Joseph took a deep breath.

"I erased some of her memories," Tim sighed. "However, human memories are incredibly intricate and mysterious. Even today, no hypnotist can confidently assert complete control over someone's memory. Given the distressing nature of Irish's experience, I could only remove that particular memory. On the one hand, it adhered to the protective mechanism of the human brain, alleviating some of Irish's suffering. On the other hand, I aimed to spare your family from getting entangled in further troubles."
