Chapter 750 You Should Leave with Me for Now Joe received the profiles of several individuals; they were all mid-level figures within Halcyonland’s criminal organization, not even considered top-ranking members. Yet, strangely, they were assigned a task worth 100 million dollars. This reminded Joe of the Halcyonland business company that had transferred money to Ethan earlier. Could it be that, just like that business company, there were other masterminds pulling the strings behind these individuals? Just then, a waiter entered with a file in hand. “The DNA test results are ready,” Dylan said, not opening the file but passing it directly to Joe.
Despite being just a few thin sheets of paper, the file felt surprisingly heavy in Joe’s hand. He furrowed his brow, glanced at Sharon, and slowly opened the file. The results were not unexpected. In fact, the moment Martha appeared in front of him, he had already guessed what the outcome would be.
At this point, Martha was brought over. As soon as she saw Joe, she walked quickly to his side, appearing quite frightened of the waitstaff in this place. Joe furrowed his brow and whispered, “Do you remember who you are?” “Hazel,” Martha replied softly, and Joe shook his head. “Do you have any other name?” “Another name?” Confusion appeared in Martha’s eyes. “I don’t.” Seeing this, Sharon finally understood. Although it remained a mystery how Martha had survived the car accident initially, it was evident that she had lost her memory. She didn’t recognize her
son Joe at all. “How did you end up here?” Joe asked in a deep voice. Martha shrank back slightly, then suddenly looked up at Joe. “I was kidnapped and brought here!” Her tone was sharp and shrill, clearly reflecting the trauma she had endured. “Kidnapped?” Joe inquired, looking at Dylan. Dylan had a calm expression. “We’ve always been in the business of receiving trade goods, not questioning
their origins.” After all, this was an unregulated black market zone, not a charity organization. Joe didn’t press further and turned his gaze to Martha. “Perhaps you should leave with me for now.” Martha hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded in agreement. Their trip to the black market had indeed yielded substantial gains. Joe had no intention of complicating matters for Skylar, so after leaving the black market, they parted ways. As for how she would handle her relationship with Solomon upon her return, that was her concern.
Due to the addition of Martha, Joe decided not to go to Love Island and instead returned to Capital City. Sir Smith had initially thought that Joe had made some new progress, but when he saw Martha behind him, he dropped the cup he was holding in astonishment. “Is she…?” Sir Smith looked at Joe in disbelief. He would never have imagined that he would see Martha again one day. Joe had no choice but to recount the process of meeting Martha and told Sir Smith, “Although we confirmed her identity with DNA, she has lost all her past memories and can’t recognize who I am.” Sir Smith sighed deeply, a glimmer of hope rising in his eyes. “Since she’s here, what about your father…” Joe knew what he was thinking and shook his head with a slightly furrowed
brow. Right after confirming Martha’s identity, he had ordered an investigation into the DNA left behind from the car accident, confirming that one of the bodies was indeed Ralph’s. A hint of disappointment appeared in Sir Smith’s eyes.
