Today was Fiona Cooper's birthday.

Reflecting on the countless humiliations he had endured over the past three years, Joseph Wilson had little affection for his wife, Fiona Cooper. However, as husband and wife of three years, it was her birthday today, so Joseph Wilson still bought a bouquet of flowers, intending to pick her up from work at the entrance of Cooper Group.

It was laughable that, as a live-in son-in-law for three years, his wife in name had never looked him in the eye. They had always slept in separate rooms, and he had never even touched Fiona Cooper's hand.

Fiona Cooper never allowed Joseph Wilson to appear at the company, so every time Joseph Wilson came to pick her up from work, he would stand far away and wait for her to come out. This time was no exception.

However, what Joseph Wilson did not expect was to see his wife walking out of the Cooper Group building, arm in arm with a man.

"Charles, why are you back so suddenly?"

"I finished my business abroad and missed you so much. As soon as I returned, I came straight to find you..." As he spoke, Charles Martin's hand had already impolitely groped Fiona Cooper's buttocks.

"Hmph, you were abroad for so long and still remember me. I suppose you have a bit of a conscience..."

The two walked arm in arm, intimately entering the InterContinental Hotel next to the Cooper Building.

Joseph followed Fiona and the man all the way into the InterContinental Hotel until he saw the two of them unable to resist kissing in the corridor.

The man's hands had already slipped inside Fiona's clothes, wantonly kneading her breasts.

Joseph Wilson couldn't help but clench his fists, his anger uncontrollable.

"Darling, wait a moment... to the room... ah..."

Witnessing with his own eyes his wife being embraced by a strange man and entering a hotel room, they were so urgent that they completely forgot to close the door.

Through the crack in the door, Joseph saw his originally aloof wife stripping off her clothes and kneeling in front of the strange man, tilting her head back and opening her mouth...

"You little slut, your oral skills are still as good as before... ah..."

"Slut, I can't resist the urge to ejaculate... ah..."

"Oh~ darling, your cock is so big..."

"Slut, get on the bed, spread your legs, I'm going to fuck you to death..."

"Ah... ah..."

...

Never in his wildest dreams did Joseph imagine that his successful wife, who always had an icy demeanor, would be so lascivious at this moment. Recalling the past three years, Fiona Cooper had never smiled at him. Joseph had long understood that Fiona didn't love him.

But she was still his wife in the legal sense. He never expected such a repulsive debauchery to lie beneath her aloof facade.

Endless anger, regret, and pent-up emotions kept assaulting Joseph Wilson. He couldn't help wanting to rush into the room to confront this adulterous couple.

Looking around, Joseph directly removed a knight's sword from the decorative cabinet in the corridor of the InterContinental Hotel.

Boundless rage engulfed Joseph Wilson's senses. Taking the knight's sword and unsheathing it, with this half-meter long sword in hand, Joseph was ready to charge into the room, stab the stranger's belly a few times, and then cut off his disgusting cock.

However, the instant Joseph touched the blade of this knight's sword, it was as if familiar objects awakened lost memories.

In Joseph's memory, there had always been a large blank. Joseph could only remember what had happened in the three years since he married into the family. As for the memories before that, no matter how hard Joseph tried to recall, he couldn't remember anything. It was like a barrier separating everything from three years ago.

The faint bloody smell on this knight's sword that had been sealed in the decorative cabinet for who knows how long, this scent of blood, the smell of the battlefield, Joseph was all too familiar with it. Combined with his infinite anger, it finally allowed Joseph Wilson to break through that barrier.

Countless memories frantically flooded into Joseph Wilson's brain, causing him to involuntarily drop the knight's sword in his hand, clasp his head with both hands, and crouch in the corner of the corridor, his whole body twitching uncontrollably. This was a side effect of the brain being unable to process the vast amount of information in time.

After ten minutes, the pain in his brain gradually subsided, and Joseph opened his eyes. However, the dullness and numbness originally in these eyes were gone, replaced by endless sharpness and powerful confidence.

Joseph Wilson stood up, looked at the knight's sword on the ground, and recalled his anger just now and his reckless impulse. He couldn't help but show a trace of self-mockery.

That woman who didn't love him and whom he had never loved, why should he kill for her sake and bring himself endless trouble?

Joseph Wilson calmly turned and walked into the elevator of the InterContinental Hotel. Behind him, the faint moans of the woman and the man's wild roars could still be heard...

Joseph calmly returned to the Cooper family villa. Opening the door, he saw Heidi Cooper sitting cross-legged on the sofa, eating snacks and watching TV. 

In the three years since marrying into the Cooper family, in the eyes of others, he was just a useless, spineless live-in son-in-law. The only one who treated him like a human being was Heidi Cooper. Not only did she not despise him, but she was also very close to him, always affectionately calling him brother-in-law.

Joseph didn't pay attention to Heidi and prepared to go straight to his room.

Seeing that Joseph had returned but didn't speak to her, Heidi looked at Joseph, "Brother-in-law, you seem distracted today. Did you hear some bad news?"

"What bad news?" 

Joseph was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses from his chaotic thoughts.

"My sister's childhood sweetheart is about to return from abroad. Are you afraid that my sister will divorce you and marry another man?"

Heidi grinned, looking gleeful.

Hearing these words, Joseph Wilson fell silent. So it was her childhood sweetheart...

Quickening his pace, he returned to his room.

After calming his emotions, Joseph Wilson came to his master's portrait and looked at his master's photo.

"Master, you are my only family."

"Three years ago, in an accident, you were seriously injured trying to save me, and I also lost my memory. You arranged for me to marry into the Cooper family before passing away from your serious injuries. It's a pity that Fiona Cooper and I have no feelings for each other and are destined not to stay together for life."

"Now, three years have passed. Most of my strength has recovered, but only a small part of my memory has returned. I want to know what exactly happened three years ago."

"Regardless, I have to leave the Cooper family. I don't know where to go. But I know I can't stay with the Cooper family."

After saying this, Joseph Wilson's hesitant gaze became firm.

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

At this time, Joseph Wilson's shabby phone rang. Joseph saw that it was Fiona calling and answered.

"Joseph Wilson, come pick me up at the company now."

A cold voice came from the other end of the line.

"Okay."

Joseph responded swiftly.

"Don't park the car at the company entrance. Park a bit further away. I'll walk over myself. I don't want my colleagues to see you." Fiona continued.

"Okay."

Joseph responded. Before he finished speaking, the other end had already hung up.

Three years ago, it wasn't, but in these three years, the Cooper family had developed very rapidly, leaping to become Nova City's top family.After about half an hour, Joseph Wilson finally arrived near the Cooper Building. He parked the car in front of a secluded alley and called Fiona Cooper."Fiona, I'm here, at the usual place."Joseph Wilson said after the call connected."I know. How many times do I have to say it? Don't call me Fiona. Call me Fiona Cooper." Fiona Cooper's disgusted voice came from the other end."Okay, Fiona Cooper. I'm here, waiting for you at the usual place."Joseph Wilson repeated his words.The other end immediately hung up. Joseph was used to this. Moreover, he had already made up his mind. It was time to leave.About ten minutes later, Joseph saw a tall, beautiful, fair-skinned woman walk out of the Cooper Group building. The woman was nat

The interior decor of the villa could be said to be quite extravagant. At first glance, even Joseph was shocked.It was clear from this that Blake Morgan's identity was quite extraordinary. However, Joseph couldn't remember his master having a friend named Blake Morgan at all."Mr. Wilson, now that you have left the Cooper family, following your master's instructions, I will provide you with whatever assistance I can. Is there anything you need help with?" Blake Morgan poured Joseph a glass of water and asked meaningfully."I need a job and a place to live, that's all. Of course, if pos

    After leaving the villa, Joseph was pulled by Alice to the underground parking garage.The garage housed dozens of cars, the least of which were luxury vehicles like Maseratis, demonstrating immense wealth."Mr. Joseph, you seem quite unhappy. Experiencing marital changes in middle age is indeed difficult to accept. But someone as outstanding as you will surely meet a better woman in the future." Alice held Joseph's arm, her breasts intentionally or unintentionally brushing against it, making Joseph feel out of place.He had never had such close contact even with his wife in name."Thank you. I'm fine," Joseph said with a wry smile."Joseph, I have a question I want to ask you." Alice released Joseph's arm, her demeanor and tone somewhat restrained."Hmm? What question?" Joseph instinctively asked."Do... do you think I'm pretty?" Alice bit her lip, mustering her courage to speak. As she uttered these words, her face flushed crimson, and she tightly grasped the hem of her clothes, her

    "Joseph, what are you talking about? Money isn't an issue. Grandpa said to take good care of you, especially when it comes to money.""Joseph, you don't want Grandpa to blame me for not taking care of you, right?" Alice pouted her lips and said with a grin."Um, alright then!" Joseph felt somewhat speechless upon hearing this."I'll go tidy up the room, and then we can go out together. I do have some things I need to buy," Joseph said after a moment of hesitation."Okay, I'll tidy up my room too." At the mention of tidying up the room, Alice's pretty face blushed slightly. If she had cleaned her room properly earlier, Joseph wouldn't have seen that scene.Would Joseph think she was an improper girl? With this thought, Alice felt somewhat uneasy.Joseph agreed and left. Entering a girl's room felt a bit strange, but since Alice had pulled him in earlier, he had no choice.It was also funny to think that despite being married to Fiona Cooper for three years, he had never even entered he

    "Joseph Wilson, what are you doing here?" Fiona walked over upon seeing Joseph."What a coincidence. I'm here to buy a couple of outfits!" Joseph said with a faint smile."Buy clothes? Do you know what kind of place this is? The shirts here start at $1,000. Can you afford the clothes here?" Hearing Joseph's words, Fiona's gaze became even more disdainful. She had previously thought this man was just mediocre, but she didn't expect him to be such a braggart.During the three years in the Cooper family, Joseph either did housework at home or went elsewhere to do odd jobs to earn some pocket money.But the little money he earned was definitely not enough to afford the clothes here."Ahem... Miss Cooper, we're already divorced. Whether I can afford it or not doesn't seem to have anything to do with you," Joseph coughed lightly, neither humble nor arrogant."Joseph, stop pretending. I don't even want to point it out. You're stalking me, right?""Joseph, let me tell you, we're already divor

    Joseph went upstairs and started cooking. This was the first meal he cooked for himself in three years. In the Cooper family, he had been merely serving others for the past three years. Although Fiona didn't treat him as a husband, Joseph believed he had done everything a man should do, and even more than what an average man would do.Soon, half an hour passed, but Alice hadn't returned yet. Joseph took out his phone, thinking of giving Alice a call, but realized he didn't have her phone number. He had been busy with his own matters all day and even forgot to ask for Alice's number.Considering that Alice only went to buy some things in the neighborhood, he thought there shouldn't be any issues. Moreover, when he entered this neighborhood, he didn't notice any potential dangers. Perhaps for some special reason, Joseph was very sensitive to danger, though he himself didn't know why. Maybe he knew the reason before but had forgotten it now.Just as Joseph was busy, he heard the sound of

    However, upon entering, Heidi Cooper noticed Maria Long, Stephen Cooper, and Fiona Cooper sitting at the dining table, staring at each other. The atmosphere felt a bit off."Um, what's going on? Why isn't anyone talking? Where's brother-in-law?" Heidi sat down cautiously, sensing the unusual atmosphere."What brother-in-law are you talking about?" Maria Long asked with a displeased expression."What? Joseph Wilson, my brother-in-law," Heidi was momentarily confused."He's not your brother-in-law anymore," Maria Long said with disdain."What? How is he not my brother-in-law anymore?" Heidi was completely baffled."I divorced him. He's already left," Fiona said coldly."What? Divorced?""Sis, are you crazy? Why did you drive him away? What did he do to offend you?" Heidi was perplexed."He and I are from two different worlds. I, Fiona Cooper, look down on men like him," Fiona said with indifference."No, I don't know how he falls short. He's always been diligent, honest, and humble.""Y

    After much inner struggle, Fiona finally dialed Joseph's number. Over the years, she had never taken the initiative to call Joseph unless there was a particularly important matter she needed him to handle.However, after dialing, the voice prompt indicated that the phone was switched off. Upon hearing this, Fiona put down the phone and continued to rest her head on the table with her eyes closed.Suddenly, her phone vibrated again. Startled, she immediately opened her phone, only to feel a sense of disappointment when she saw it was a Facebook message from her best friend, Hannah.Fiona suddenly felt a bit ridiculous. What was she expecting? For Joseph to come back and beg her not to divorce him?Thinking this way, she still opened Facebook and read the messages from Hannah."Dear Fiona, congratulations on regaining your freedom and getting rid of that loser!""So, when shall we meet up and celebrate?"Hannah sent two messages."Let's forget about celebrating.

    "Oh, stop it! Don’t ask me that—you’re so shameless!" Alice covered her face, utterly embarrassed. Every time Mason Alvarez probed her with these kinds of questions, her cheeks would burn as if set ablaze. "Oh, please! You’ve been living together for so long—who would believe that nothing has happened between you two?" Mason teased with a mischievous grin. "It’s true! Joseph said he wants to wait for the right moment," Alice murmured, her voice growing softer as she buried her face deeper into her hands. "Tsk tsk, waiting for a special moment? Who would’ve thought Wilson was such a traditional man? He really doesn’t seem the type," Mason mused, clearly surprised. "Honestly, I think it’s kind of sweet," Alice said in a hushed tone. Mason draped an arm around Alice’s shoulders, her voice laced with playful mischief. "Listen, little one, a man only truly belongs to you once he’s in your grasp—understand?" Alice blinked in confusion. "What do you mean by that, Mason?" "It’s simpl

    "So, how do you think my conversation with him went?" Felix Baker smiled, throwing the question back at Mason Alvarez."Looks like it went pretty well—you've got a smile on your face," Mason replied casually.Felix chuckled. "It was quite enjoyable, actually. You’ve heard about all the mess Charles Martin has gotten himself into, right? Well, Director Myers' opinion of him has definitely taken a nosedive." He lowered his voice slightly—after all, discussing other professors in public wasn’t exactly appropriate.Mason’s eyes lit up. "So that means I don’t have to go on that blind date with Charles Martin anymore?" "Of course not! What’s so great about him anyway? He’s just a fool. Professor Wilson is leagues ahead of him." Felix spoke with sincerity."That’s a relief! Thanks, Professor. This whole thing had been stressing me out." Mason sighed in genuine gratitude.Felix waved it off.

Joseph had yet to pick up his chopsticks, but she had already started eating, fully embodying the meaning of being unreserved.Joseph took a bite as well, nodding slightly in approval, offering Alice generous praise for her cooking. There was no denying it—her culinary skills had improved remarkably. "Oh, by the way, your dad called me earlier. He wants to see me after lunch," Joseph mentioned casually as he ate. "My dad? What does he want with you?" Alice asked, surprised. "Tsk, tsk, tsk. Does this mean you two have already met the parents? When’s the wedding? And when can I expect to hold your baby?"

"Uncle Mason, how could you say that about me?" "Anyway, did you call because you've finally come around?" Joseph asked directly. "Is there anyone with you right now? Is Alice nearby?"

    "You… You—!" Joseph’s words had left Lincoln Myers fuming. Not only was he livid, but more importantly, he had no retort—because, well, Joseph wasn’t wrong. He was both bald and overweight. "Alright, don’t get too worked up—anger isn’t good for your health. It’s bad to lose your temper so often." Joseph spoke with the air of someone offering sincere advice. Then, without waiting for a response, he turned and strolled away. "You brat, just you wait! You won’t get away with this!" Lincoln Myers shouted after him, but all he could do was glare at Joseph’s retreating figure before stomping off in frustration. Inside the office, Geoffrey Harris had overheard their argument. He could only shake his head helplessly. The relationship between the Traditional Medicine Department and the Modern Medical College had always been tense. Ever since Joseph’s arrival, things had escalated further. And now, Joseph had directly clashed with Lincoln Myers. In the Medical College, most professors

    "This kid—why should he be part of the investigation team? He himself might have issues! How can he possibly be an investigator?" Lincoln Myers shot a pointed look at Joseph, his voice filled with skepticism. Joseph, however, merely chuckled. "Director Myers, I originally had no interest in getting involved in this matter, but now that you've questioned me like this, I find myself quite intrigued." His tone was deliberately teasing. Hearing Joseph’s infuriating response, Lincoln Myers’s temper flared instantly. Seeing the smug grin on Joseph’s face only made him want to throw a punch at him. "You little brat, you just love going against me, don’t you?" He fumed. "You were the one who started going against me first," Joseph replied with a smirk. "Alright, enough. Stop arguing." "Director Myers, listen to me." Geoffrey Harris waved a hand, cutting off their bickering.

"This investigation won’t just focus on Charles Martin’s actions last Saturday—it will also cover his professional history, educational background, academic achievements, and more. Everything must be thoroughly reviewed." "Therefore, we need to establish an investigation committee." Geoffrey Harris stated decisively. "An investigation committee… Don’t tell me I’m going to be on it?" Joseph raised an eyebrow, finding the situation rather amusing. Him investigating Charles Martin? Now, that was something he never saw coming. "Professor Wilson, you managed to wake Old Mr. Cooper. You’re more than qualified to be on this committee."

Once he arrives, we’ll get down to business," Geoffrey Harris continued. "Sounds good. I’ll wait," Joseph said, setting his coffee down with a slight smile. "Professor Wilson, how’s your teaching going lately? How does it feel to be a professor?" Geoffrey Harris started making small talk. "It’s been going well. The students are enthusiastic, and the work is smooth—though I’d say that’s mostly thanks to their cooperation," Joseph replied modestly. "Ah, Professor Wilson, I have to disagree with you there!

"I just want to check on Professor Martin. He’s young and inexperienced—I’m worried he might have lost his way." "If he’s engaged in any inappropriate behavior, I’ll put a stop to it immediately." With that, Joseph strode toward the restroom. The female student stood frozen, stunned by his words. "Professor Wilson is such a man of integrity! He’s actually worried about Professor Martin going down the wrong path!" "Intervening to prevent crime, standing up for justice—he's a true role model for us all!"
