Chapter 509 Getting a Taste of Your Own Medicine

Joseph was sitting on the sofa when his grandfather came to him.

“Who have you chosen for the executive president position?” Matthew asked with a deadpan face.

“Quinn Davis.”

Matthew was startled when he heard that.

It was not a news that Quinn was known to be together with Veronica.

He initially thought that Joseph had selected an outsider, but to his surprise that candidate was none
other than Quinn.

“I clearly recall that he is the descendant of the Davis family, and he needs to handle some of the
business under the Davis family name.”

Matthew was implying that Quinn wouldn’t have time to take on another arduous position.

“The heir of the Davis family wouldn’t be Quinn, so it won’t be a problem to hand over the Joseph’s
Group under his leadership.” Joseph explained calmly.

If that candidate was Quinn, Matthew wouldn’t have a lot to complain about.

The only thing left for him to validate was Quinn’s capability.

After all, he was just a psychological doctor prior to this, and despite holding some education in the
business field, he didn’t have much practical experience.

“Joseph, even if that is the case, you still have to be the one overseeing things in the Joseph’s Group.”
Matthew’s tone was still seething with mild anger.



“I never said that I won’t oversee things in any way. It’s just that I don’t plan to hold on to the president’s
position for too long.”

When Quinn finally cemented his position as the executive president in the near future, Joseph planned
to transfer all of his power to him.

At that moment, Matthew finally understood Joseph’s plan.

“Quinn is still not part of the Joseph family yet!” Matthew howled angrily.

“Grandpa, his marriage with Veronica is as good as done. He is already part of the Joseph family, like it
or not.”

Matthew still had a grumpy expression on his face. From his point of view, there couldn’t be another
person sitting atop the Joseph’s Group other than Joseph himself.

“You plan to throw away every ounce of power you are enjoying now, am I wrong?” Matthew’s gaze
slowly seeped with disappointment.

Joseph pursed his lips, and his dark gaze slowly narrowed, “I have promised you that I will take over
the Joseph’s Group, and now I have honoured that promise. Grandpa, everything regarding the
Joseph’s Group is not your concern anymore.”

Joseph’s voice was icy cold.

“What if I tell you that I will never agree to your decisions! I won’t agree to Quinn assuming your
position! The only one who can sit on that chair is you alone!” Matthew knocked his walking stick on the
ground hard while he sounded uncompromising.

Joseph didn’t even flinch, “Grandpa, if you regret handing over the Joseph’s Group to me, I will cease
to participate in all of your operations from now on.”



After saying that, he left without even looking back.

Finally, Matthew’s rage boiled over. He knew very well of Joseph’s stubbornness, but in all of the
Joseph family, only he was capable enough to take over the Joseph’s Group!

However, Joseph never set his heart on this place at all!

How could Matthew not be angered?

If Joseph handed over the president’s position to Quinn, he would only remain a director, and his job
was only to attend important meetings in the company. The real operation of the Joseph’s Group would
be completely controlled by Quinn.

Matthew had to try his best to calm himself down, and his mind was replaying Joseph’s determined
words non-stop.

This rascal dared to threaten him!

He only had himself to blame for raising such a grandson!

Joseph was a man of his words, and in the coming week, he never came to the Joseph’s Group
anymore, and he didn’t care about the matters of the company anymore. Besides tending to some
patients on Monday as usual, all he ever did was accompanying Kathy at the Joseph’s Bay.
Sometimes, he would cook some nutritious food for her to revitalize her health.

Kathy looked at the man by her side and wondered about Joseph’s newfound leisure time… She had a
hard to getting used to his continued presence.

“Wouldn’t Mr Matthew be angry with you for not going to work at the Joseph’s Group?” Kathy asked
worriedly.



“He is.” Joseph answered without any expression.

Veronica had called him multiple times and let him be known that his grandpa had been jumping up
and down with fury.

“Then, you…” Kathy was knitting her brows as if in a dilemma.

“I need grandpa to stop overseeing the Joseph’s Group. If he can’t do that, it would be best in his
interest if he had never handed over the Joseph’s Group to me in the first place.” Joseph’s tone was as
calm as a millpond.

Kathy wasn’t very well-versed with the matters in the business field, but she at least could still guess
Joseph’s train of thoughts.

He had inherited the Joseph’s Group, but he wasn’t planning to be the one in control.

However, his intention was in the exact opposite direction compared to Matthew’s wishes.

“Recently, I can see that the Joseph’s Group is doing not too well. The share prices have been
dropping like crazy.” Kathy commented nonchalantly.

Due to her connection to Joseph, she started to pay attention to any news centred around the Joseph’s
Group.

In recent times, the turbulence plaguing the Joseph’s Group had become a sensational news in the
business industry. Despite that, as the president, Joseph had been hanging around at home looking
like he was without a care in the world.

Kathy started to feel worried for him.



“The share price will stop plummeting after some time, and with the long history and stability of the
Joseph’s Group, it won’t just go kaput like that. I want to grab this chance to purge some factions
harbouring ill-intentions within the ranks of the company.”

Joseph never went wrong with every step that he took.

Kathy watched this man who was always full of confidence, and slowly a sense of admiration formed
beneath her eyes.

She was able to relax after hearing Joseph’s vows.

She continued to study, and Joseph would chip in from time to time to increase some knowledge for
her. Kathy was able to enjoy some calm and peaceful days of late.

While lying in Joseph’s embrace, Kathy let out a yawn. It was afternoon, and the sleeping bug was
getting to her.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, a ringing sound broke the silence and broke through her
sleepiness. It was Joseph’s phone.

Joseph eyed his phone and then he answered the call.

“Dr Joseph, Ella has vomited this morning. Can you make a visit here as soon as possible?” A nurse’s
voice came through the speaker and it was tinged with anxiety.

Joseph gave a vague response before hanging up the phone.

Kathy had overheard that conversation, and she took the initiative to fetch Joseph’s coat.

“Are you going to go with me, hmm?”



“No thanks. When I was in the hospital last time, your fans almost destroyed me.” Kathy recalled the
scene from last time, and the fans’ incessant hacking and comments were still vivid in her mind.

Upon hearing that, Joseph couldn’t help but frown. He hooked his arms around Kathy’s waist and
ventured, “You have me by your side. I am sure nobody would be brave enough to bully you.”

Kathy knew that, but she wasn’t too interested to meet with Ella.

As if seeing through her thoughts, Joseph stopped persuading her.

After planting a kiss on her forehead, he said gently, “Wait for me to come home tonight and I will make
dinner for you.”

“Alright, I will go buy the raw food first.”

Half an hour later, Joseph arrived at the hospital. Ella had been vomiting to a very serious extend, and
Joseph instructed for the nurses to give her some injection before taking her blood sample. He could
only wait for the outcome.

Ella was in immense discomfort and her face was deathly pale.

“Dr Joseph, can you stay here and accompany me…” Ella stared at Joseph with a longing in her eyes.

“I will be here for a few hours. What have you eaten in the past two days?” Joseph asked patiently.

“I have… eaten some beef.” Ella’s voice became tinier at this point.

She recalled Joseph reminder about the food she had to avoid at all cost, but when she went out to
take a stroll, she saw someone eating beef skewers. It enticed her appetite which prompted her to ask
for her brother to buy her some of that so that she could satisfy her cravings.

She wouldn’t predict her current outcome full of discomfort.



Joseph’s expression darkened, “You are getting a taste of your own medicine.”

Ella pursed her lips with indignation, “Yes, you are right about that.”

She knew very well that Joseph would never fancy her, yet she couldn’t control her feelings towards
him. She was just inflicting more pain on herself.

Joseph frowned with a certain resignation, and after prescribing some medicine, Ella’s condition finally
stabilized. He then returned to his office.

There were some presents scattered on his sofa, and with a deadpan face, a nurse came in and
explained, “Dr Joseph, these are all given by your fans. Your fans were too insistent, nobody were able
to stop them.”

It was forbidden for anyone to receive gifts in the hospital, yet his fans exhausted all means just to
make sure their presents appeared at the entrance. They didn’t state any name on the gifts, so the staff
could only handle those presents like this.

“Unwrap them, categorize them and donate them to the orphanage.” Joseph instructed the nurse.

“Roger.”
