Chapter 238 Deception
''Eastcity warehouse engulfed in mes, causing three deaths!''
The news only upied a tiny section of the newspaper. An ordinary person would not notice if they
did not pay close attention to it.
Charlotte Jenkins boasted herself to be the heiress of a powerful family. She had no penchant to
read this kind of social news regarding injuries and fatalities. She pushed away the newspaper and
assumed a disdainful expression. "Why are you showing this to m e?"
"I have photos of these three deceased people prior to their deaths." Joseph Shaw took out three
photos.
"How''s that rted to me..." said Charlotte but she still took a nce at it casually.
Her pupils constricted abruptly when she saw one of the people. "This... This is..."
"That''s right. It''s precisely the witness detained by Julian Shaw." Joseph took a meaningful nce
at Charlotte. "I heard that you’ve been constantly under Julian’s threat because of this person. Now,
I have already eliminated the threat." i
The witness mentioned by Joseph was the person Julian brought away from the cave incident
previously.
Luke Jenkins looked at the photo then read the news report and smiled suddenly. "Joseph, your
work is truly crisp and clean.” 2
"It''s but a trifling matter. Charlotte is going to be married to me so I have to ensure that she has no
worriester on naturally,” Joseph casuallymented.
In America, he made his fortune in the mafia. It was nothing but a usual routine for him tomit
murder and clean up properly after himself.
"It''s just a trifling matter for you, yet you were capable of finding the location where Julian hid the
person and carried out the operation in such a crisp manner without leaving behind any traces.
That''s not something an ordinary person can do." Luke was growing more and more pleased with
this brother-inw of his.
Joseph had the funds and the power in his hands and he was also skilled in managing criminal
activities. H e was simply the best partner for Luke.
Charlotte was shocked by Joseph''s money first, then she witnessed his capability in managing
affairs. She could not help feeling pleased with her future husband’s performance.

They continued to discuss the marriage in a harmonious atmosphere.
On the other side, Julian also received news about the fire in the warehouse and the witness was
burned to death with two guards. He could not help furrowing his brows.
It had already been a few months since the cave incident. The traces left on the scene had
vanished into nothingness for a long time. The best time to use this incident as an article has
already passed actually. However, he considered having a witness on his side a s a deterrent to
stop Charlotte from messing things up.
Now, the witness was dead!
ording to the report from his staff member, the fire was an ident, and so was the response
from the scene.
However, Julian could not help narrowing his eyes at the thought of Joseph''s gentle and refined
appearance.
He intuitively thought that Joseph was waging a war against him.
Counting from the previous generation, it had already been 18 full years since Joseph’s family
lineage left Ningcheng City!
18 years had passed with the vastnds across them. Even though he had been collecting
information rted to Joseph all this time, it was not an easy feat t o look into Joseph due to his
thriving mafia business. As a result, he only managed to acquire a small portion of information.
On the contrary, Lanyard Construction was liable to be attacked just like a tall tree that caught the
wind. Countless people were monitoring Lanyard
Construction both in and out of the country.
As long as Joseph had the intention, he could easily gain ess to all the information rted to
Lanyard Construction with ease.
In addition, Joseph was affiliated with the Jenkins Corporation now.
The matter was truly bing rather troublesome.
However, he had also experienced quite a number of disturbances for the past ten years since he
took over the Shaw Corporation at the age of 18. The challenges that he encountered were even
uncountable.
Julian Shaw would take on anyone who came at him one by one regardless of who that person
was.
"Burn the witness to death, huh?" The corners of Julian’s lips cracked into a cold sneer. "Joseph,
you gave such a huge gift to me. If I don''t return the gift, aren’t you going to despise me for that?"
The next day.
The wedding date for Joseph and Charlotte was set. The incident of Joseph sending close to 100
million dors worth of jewelry to her made headlines.
Comments filled with envy and jealousy filled the section underneath the news.
Charlotte wore the ne and swung the bangle on her wrist with a proud look that filled her
eyes.
She enjoyed the feeling of being envied by all women
the most.
Charlotte''s good mood onlysted for the morning.
By noon, big news suddenly swept across the entire nation.
Joseph invested in the Joseph-Jenkins Corporation which was located in Ningcheng City. In order to
strive for favorable impressions of the industries, he sent out notifications that he had already
donated 100 million to an earthquake disaster area through the Red Cross.
One hundred million! It was a stupendous sum of money that even surpassed Julian''s million-dor
donation.
At once, the inte broke out in a praising storm toward the Joseph-Jenkins Corporation.
The big news was that the Red Cross disyed the donor name list and that Joseph''s donation was
only worth 10 million in reality!
The 100 million was utterly a deception.
If Joseph had not announced his donation amount to the public, the 10 million was already
considered arge sum of money and inte users would notment much either.
Yet, he imed to donate 100 million. Moreover, his prestige went higher because of this too.
As a result, his prestige shrunk by 10 times instantly when the truth was exposed.
Inte users refused to ept that at once.
"Don’t im to have donated 100 million if you don''t have the money!"
"A poor chap who tries to satisfy his vanity when he can''t afford to do so."
"He has been sending notifications everywhere on the inte iming that the Joseph-Jenkins
Corporation has a tremendous capital. That''s really tremendous, huh?"
There were also people that cussed straightforwardly and were censored.
"Joseph Shaw is a ****."
The deception incident boiled over at once such that the entire nation was aware of it.
Charlotte went on the inte in an attempt to continue finding out how the inte users were
envious and jealous of her yet as soon as she clicked o n the website in the afternoon, the page
was filled with abusive voices.
"He bought two pieces of jewelry worth 100 million for a woman yet he is still lying about his
donation. Joseph Shaw from the Joseph-Jenkins Corporation, let me ask you this, where is your
shame?"
"Shameless deception, shameless deception."
"Boycott the Joseph-Jenkins Corporation."
Deception?
Boycott?
What the heck was going on!
Charlotte was dumbstruck with bewilderment.
She clicked on a rted news article and read it, then she mmed the mouse in rage.
What the heck was wrong with Joseph? He said he donated 100 million but he had only donated 10
million!
That matter could be dropped, yet it was exposed by the Red Cross Society.
He could forgo his reputation, but she could not!
Charlotte took out her phone furiously and gave Joseph a call.
Joseph was ordering people to prepare for the wedding when he suddenly received a call.
A mocking look shed past his eyes when he saw that the caller was Charlotte but a smile had
already appeared on his face naturally. "Hey Charlotte, what''s going on?"
"Joseph, you have the audacity to ask me what''s going on?" Charlotte began querying as soon as
she spoke.
Joseph could not help frowning.
He had been putting up with Charlotte for the sake of him looking to the Jenkins for support but this
was not an excuse for him to tolerate her constant
tantrums.
Joseph was about to say something when Charlotte already spouted furiously, "It''s fine that you
donated 1 0 million, but why do you have to say that you donated 100 million? Taking me down with
you in embarrassment, is that what you want?”
"What?" Joseph was stunned. "Charlotte, how did you find out about the amount of 10 million?!"
