Chapter 495 Changing Harold’s Prescription
After his discharge from the hospital, Joseph threw himself into relentless studying and handling the affairs of the
Whitman Group despite facing ridicule and scorn from others. Eventually, he came to realize that simply running
the Whitman Group well was not enough if he wanted to truly become powerful.
To Preston and his family’s joy, Joseph resolutely chose to venture abroad for
entrepreneurship. He aspired to become an independent man, not merely one attached to the Whitmans.
His endeavors bore fruit as he achieved recognition in the business world. Harold, both delighted and anxious,
busied himself with arranging matters about Joseph’s marriage. Joseph felt somewhat helpless, not wanting his life
to be controlled by others, but he was willing to make concessions for Harold.
It was precisely at this moment that Chloe appeared. She was like a sun, bringing warmth to his otherwise dull and
mundane life. Despite doing things that often upset him, he found himself enamored with her, feeling genuine joy
whenever they were together.

cigarette in the ashtray, his mind reaching a decision.
As night fell, a sudden downpour of rain began, accompanied by the roaring sound of thunder. Flashes of lightning
pierced through the dark sky, casting an eerie glow that revealed the world shrouded in darkness.
Spencer was preparing to return to his dormitory with his colleagues after his shift. Walking along the pitch-black
road, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him. Assuming it was his colleague, he turned back to greet them, only to
find himself facing a chilling, ice-cold dagger against his throat.
“Don’t make a sound. Your wife and child are in my hands. If you resist, you’ll never see them. again.”
“No! Please don’t harm my family! I’ll give you whatever money you want!”
Spencer thought the person wanted to rob him.
“I don’t want money.”
“Then what do you
you want?”
“You’re Harold’s attending doctor, right? From now on, you’ll prescribe his medication according to my
instructions.”
“I can’t do that! You can’t dispense medication without proper medical qualifications.”
“Say again?” The intruder grew impatient, and with a slight force, the blade cut into Spencer’s skin, drawing fresh,
red blood.
Spencer winced in pain, his face turning pale. “The hospital has regulations, and I don’t have the authority to do
that.”
“Regulations are made by people, and I believe you can find a way. Otherwise, your wife and
child will suffer.”
With those ominous words, the assailant brought a phone close to Spencer’s eyes. On the screen was a video
showing a five or six-year-old girl crying out for her father while the woman beside her was covered in bruises,
unconscious and motionless.
Spencer could not bear it any longer and cried out, “All right, I’ll do it! I’ll do whatever you say. Please, just don’t

Chloe woke up at nine the next morning to find the space beside her empty. She had no idea when Joseph had left.
She picked up her phone and glanced at it. There was a message from Joseph.
[I’m in Fairlight. Don’t go to the family home for now. I have my own plans.]
Chloe trusted that he could handle things, so she did not inquire further. She had her own career to focus on, after
all.
A few days ago, Hugo had called her back and expressed his satisfaction with her planning proposals. He then
extended her an olive branch. Despite having the smallest share of the project’s profits, when considering her
investment, it felt like winning the lottery-a windfall that propelled the Johnson Group to new heights.
As Chloe arrived at the company, she spotted Noah. He seemed hesitant and had something to tell her. She was
puzzled, “What’s the matter?”
“There’s something I don’t know if I should tell you,” Noah said with a troubled expression.
“It’s all right. You can tell me.”
Noah looked at her worriedly and said, “When I went to the hospital with my grandfather this morning, I saw Mr.
Joseph with Xavia. Do you know about it?”
