The IVF Secret That Shook a Dynasty novel Chapter 639

Raymond had heard the noise too and was about to head over when Joseph stopped him. "You stay here and entertain the guests. I'll handle this."

Since Joseph hardly knew any of the local guests, it would be awkward for him to receive their condolences anyway. Raymond was much better suited for that role.

And as a seasoned lawyer, Joseph was an expert at dealing with unreasonable thugs.

Raymond nodded. "Alright. Be careful. Call me if things get out of hand."

"Don't worry. I'm more than capable of handling them," Joseph replied confidently, turning back toward the entrance.

Just as he suspected, Sullivan and Sean Chase's families were causing a massive scene outside the memorial hall.

"We are part of the Chase family! We are his legitimate relatives! On what grounds are you keeping us out?"

"What kind of shady business are you hiding in there that you won't even let family pay their respects to the dead?!"

"Hillary! Get out here! Stop hiding!"

The wives of the two Chase brothers, both in their sixties, were shrieking at the top of their lungs, their voices booming across the hall.

They had brought their entire families—sons, daughters, and even grandchildren. A chaotic mob of over a dozen people was trying to force their way in.

The only ones missing were Sullivan and Sean themselves, who were currently sitting in jail. Going to prison in their sixties was undoubtedly going to be a miserable experience, but after decades of living off ill-gotten luxury, it was high time they got a taste of real suffering.

Joseph strolled over with unhurried grace. Seeing him approach, the funeral staff immediately bowed respectfully. "Mr. Baird."

"Yeah, son, calm down. He's a lawyer, and a ruthless one at that. You so much as touch a hair on his head, and he'll lock you away. It's not worth it!" Bertha pleaded, blocking her son's path.

Realizing violence wasn't an option, Bertha reverted to venomous accusations. "Mr. Baird, you're despicable! You used every dirty trick in the book just to help the other side. You're going to rot in hell for slandering my husband!"

Joseph couldn't be bothered to argue with a hysterical woman. Besides, this was neither the time nor the place; letting them linger at the entrance would only draw the attention of the guests inside. Unfazed by her insults, he didn't offer a single word of defense. He simply pulled out his phone and made a call.

Seeing him take action, Bertha panicked but desperately tried to maintain her bravado. "What are you doing?! Who are you calling? Are you trying to get the cops to arrest us all?!"

"You think just because you have power and money you can trample all over innocent people?! You're nothing! Don't think for a second you run Sydville City!" Sullivan's son shouted, jabbing an angry finger in Joseph's direction.

Joseph shot him a glacial look as the call connected. "Bring the team over. We have some trespassers that need to be removed," he ordered coolly.
