Joseph stood before Mr. Patrick’s small room at the Meulisa nursing home, feeling the winter chill seeping through his layers of clothing. He raised his hand and knocked gently on the door, producing soft, echoing sounds in the quiet space. Hearing the knock, Mr. Patrick turned around in surprise. His eyes immediately lit up when he saw Joseph standing at the door.“Long time no see, Patrick,” Joseph said, smiling gently at the old man in front of him.Director Widya, understanding the moment, smiled and quietly left, giving the two some privacy. “If you need anything, just call me Joseph,” she said as she left the room.Mr. Patrick couldn’t hide his joy; he stood up, walked quickly towards Joseph, and hugged him tightly. “Joseph!”“I’ve missed you too,” Joseph felt the warmth and genuine affection from Mr. Patrick’s embrace. He gently patted his shoulder.The two sat down on the chairs by the window, where Mr. Patrick often sat to watch the lush garden outside. Joseph looked around t

"Thank you, Patrick," Joseph said, absentmindedly gazing at the pile of candies in the drawer, smiling slightly. Perhaps Mr. Patrick was now the only person who treated him sincerely.Lost in his thoughts, his phone suddenly vibrated. Joseph quickly composed himself, glanced at the screen, and saw Amile's name appear.Amile: "Joseph, Jayce is setting conditions with me. He seems very serious. If the bait is good enough, I might just go along 😉."Joseph didn't respond to Amile's message. He turned off his phone and put it back in his pocket."It's time to go," Joseph said, turning to head to the car. He had to return to the William household. It was best not to linger here. It was not unusual for the son of a tycoon to have a mansion outside, but he was an exception. In Mr. William's eyes, Joseph was nothing more than a useless freeloader, unable to earn a cent. And Joseph was playing the role of the useless one. If Mr. William knew he had a large mansion in the suburbs, it would defi

"I have an important mission to give you." Jayce said, his tone somewhat mysterious.Joseph looked at his brother, feeling something unusual. "What mission, Jayce?" he asked, trying to keep his tone calm.Jayce approached Joseph's desk and placed a thick file on the table. "I want you to bid on a large shophouse project. This is an opportunity for you to prove your abilities and also a challenge to see if you really deserve the position of deputy director or not."Joseph looked at the file, then raised his head to look at Jayce. He clearly understood that Jayce never did anything without a purpose. "Are you sure I'm the right person for this project?" Joseph asked, his eyes never leaving Jayce's face.Jayce smiled slightly, but his eyes could not hide the calculation. "Of course, I believe you can do well. This is a big project, and if you succeed, it will bring huge profits to the company.""Okay, I'll accept this mission," Joseph said, never taking his eyes off Jayce. "I'll see what

"Brian, I just agreed to help Jotham and his wife with the shophouse project. They are in serious trouble, and I think I need to do something," Joseph wrote.Brian's reply came immediately. "Joseph, why did you agree? Isn't that just making things harder for yourself?"Brian continued, "Just let them handle it. Why do you need to go through all this trouble?"Joseph thought for a moment before replying. "Brian, I understand your point, but I can't just sit and watch them struggle. Besides, it's not that simple. If things escalate, the company could also be implicated. I have to try to help them, no matter what."Brian didn't respond right away, and Joseph knew his friend was considering his words. After a while, Brian's message came through: "Joseph, I understand you want to help, but you need to be careful. Jayce is not an easy person to deal with."Joseph looked at his phone screen, pondering Brian's advice. He knew Brian was right. Jayce always had complex and unpredictable plans,

“Everything is as you wish. I have completed the transfer contract for you.” Mrs. Limmy looked at Joseph with vicious eyes. This matter was not very voluntary for Mrs. Limmy“If there's nothing, I'll go first.” Mrs. Limmy picked up her bag and was about to leave when Norman stopped her“Mom, thank you very much.”Mrs. Limmy looked at Norman, her eyes gradually turning gentle. "Norman, remember to come home for dinner tonight. Mom will prepare your favorite dishes."Norman laughed loudly and nodded. "I remember, Mom. I'll be home on time."Mrs. Limmy continued to advise, her eyes stern but full of love. "Remember to take care of your health, don't work too much. You must know how to maintain your health to develop your career."Norman replied, his voice gentle. "Yes, I will remember, Mom."Joseph sat next to the scene, carefully observing Norman and Mrs. Limmy chatting intimately. Mrs. Limmy's eyes were full of love as she looked at Norman, and Norman responded with a warm, respectful
