2024-09-01 22:59:41Today 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.

Joseph drove towards Cooper Group.The Cooper Group belonged to the Cooper family, the biggest family in Nova City. 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

Thereafter, the three chatted idly. Joseph was full of questions, but he didn't get much useful information from Alice Morgan and Blake Morgan.After about half an hour, Blake Morgan's car drove into a luxurious villa neighborhood and stopped in front of a detached villa."Mr. Wilson, please," Blake Morgan got out of the car and personally opened the door for Joseph.The three entered the villa's hall. 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.

“Don’t you think Professor Wilson is incredibly young?” Laura said, peeking out the window to glance at Joseph’s car. “That’s obvious, isn’t it? You don’t need to point it out,” Richard replied, growing impatient. “He’s young, talented, and good-looking. He’s not much older than our daughter,” Laura continued, her tone thoughtful. “That car out there—that’s his, right? It’s beautiful. Must’ve cost a fortune.” “Of course, it’s a luxury vehicle. Easily worth a million. If we sold our house, we might just be able to afford it. What, are you interested in him now?” Richard joked. “You’re so inappropriate! Do I look like someone who’d attract a man like him?!” Laura shot back, punching him lightly on the shoulder. “Then what’s the point of all this?” Richard asked with a chuckle. “Didn’t you notice the way our daughter was looking at Professor Wilson? There’s something… peculiar about it,” Laura said, a sly smile spreading across her face. “Peculiar? How so? I didn’t notice anythin

Joseph nodded and started the car, driving into the complex. He had to admit, the neighborhood was indeed large. While its size wasn’t an issue, the sheer number of turns and side streets made it easy to get lost. Without someone guiding him, he might have spent ages circling around. The area itself wasn’t particularly upscale, and the buildings showed signs of age. However, the maintenance was impeccable, and the surroundings exuded a quiet charm. Considering Richard Anderson’s profession, Joseph guessed that most of the residents here were likely public servants—teachers, civil servants, and the like. “Turn right up ahead, then left, and then another right. We’re almost there,” Lindsay instructed. “Got it.” Joseph followed her directions, maneuvering the car carefully through the winding streets. A few minutes later, they arrived at a spacious clearing. Ahead, near the roadside, stood a three-story house. The house was sizable, with a well-maintained garden in the front. The

“So, according to you, your Mason Alvarez has a strong sense of ‘romantic ethics’? She’d actually ask permission before stealing someone’s boyfriend?” Joseph couldn’t resist mocking her logic. “Believe it or not, that’s just the kind of person she is.” “Look at the shirt she bought you. Or the way she interacts with you. She’s completely honest and direct with people she’s comfortable with. But not many people get to know her well enough to see that side of her. Sometimes, I think she’s a little pitiful. Someone like her must feel so lonely.” Alice sighed softly, her voice tinged with genuine sympathy. “You’re too kind and too pure for your own good, kiddo.” Joseph chuckled as he reached out to ruffle her hair affectionately. “By the way, tomorrow afternoon, I need to stop by a student’s house to pick up a set of silver needles. I’ll also be staying for dinner. Let me know when your classes end so I can pick you up.” Joseph decided it was best to let Alice know in advance. “Hu

“Can you imagine a woman who doesn’t like shopping, doesn’t enjoy socializing, and spends all her time going back and forth between her office and the lab? That’s Mason Alvarez. She’s incredibly hardworking.” Alice explained with a laugh, but her tone carried genuine admiration for Mason Alvarez. “That may be true, but does that justify buying me this shirt? Is this really something an adult would do?” Joseph gestured at the Mickey Mouse print on his chest, utterly exasperated. “Why don’t you ever buy me something like this?” He shot Alice a pointed look. “Because I’m different. I’ve been observing you since we were kids—I know what you like to eat, what habits you have, and what kind of clothes suit you. I even browse shopping websites sometimes to figure out what styles would look good on you.” “Stuff like this isn’t something you’re born knowing. It takes time and effort.” Alice’s explanation was matter-of-fact, but her tone was warm. “You actually spend time researching t

Watching him leave, Mason blinked a few times, then returned to her work. Ten minutes later, Joseph sent Mason a photo. It was a picture of the shirt she’d bought him. On the right side of the chest was a cheerful, oversized Mickey Mouse graphic. “Professor Alvarez, do you even know how to shop for men’s clothes? What is this? Do you think a man in his twenties should be wearing something like this?” Joseph’s tone was filled with disbelief as he stared at himself in the mirror, his face dark with frustration. “Uh… I guess I don’t. Didn’t I tell you I’ve never had a boyfriend? The only man I’ve ever bought clothes for is my dad.” “You specifically told me not to buy something that looks like something my dad would wear, so I thought I’d go for something youthful. Don’t you think Mickey Mouse is cute?” Mason genuinely thought she’d made a thoughtful choice. “Youthful? This doesn’t make me look youthful—it makes me look childish!” Joseph was utterly exasperated. He was starting

Joseph looked up briefly, noting her troubled demeanor. What was with this woman? She’d gone out looking fine and returned with the weight of the world on her shoulders. As he pondered this, his phone vibrated softly. Joseph casually took a sip of water and picked up his phone, only to freeze as he saw the message on Facebook. “Professor Wilson, let’s go on a blind date.” The words stared back at him. “Pfft—cough, cough, cough…” Joseph choked on his water, nearly spraying it everywhere.“What’s wrong, Professor Wilson?” Mason Alvarez turned to Joseph, her expression all innocence. “Nothing, just choked on some water.” Joseph waved his hand dismissively, clearly exasperated. “Oh, in that case, carry on drinking.” Hearing this, Mason turned her attention back to her work, seemingly unconcerned. “Professor Wilson, would you like me to give you a couple of acupuncture needles? It’ll help you recover in no time,” Brady Rogers chimed in. “No need, thank you.” Joseph waved him o

“Director Myers, you’re absolutely right. But marriage and love are matters of fate, not something you can force. It’s not that I’m unwilling—it’s just that I haven’t met the right person yet.” Mason replied with impeccable politeness. “Not meeting the right person, that’s exactly the problem! You spend all your time buried in your office and the lab—how are you supposed to meet anyone?” “Do you remember when you were studying in Metropolis City? I mentioned our academy’s new hire, Dr. Charles Martin.” “I think you two are a perfect match. And, to be honest, Dr. Martin has a great impression of you. I was thinking of playing matchmaker—maybe set up a dinner, watch a movie, and who knows? Sparks might fly.” Lincoln’s tone was that of a well-meaning elder, full of persuasion. “Dr. Charles Martin? Yes, I remember him. You even showed me his photo before, and I added him on Facebook. I have a vague impression.” “But I’ve really been swamped lately. Dinner and movies will have to wa

What does this mean? she thought, her frustration mounting. It means he’s deliberately ignoring me! The idea made her blood boil. With her looks and charm, she was used to people eagerly texting her, hoping for a reply, or even going out of their way to get her attention. But now, everything was reversed. Joseph not only ignored her but also seemed to find her a nuisance. "Why aren’t you replying to me, you jerk? Do you think ignoring me will make me pay more attention to you?" she typed furiously, sending another message. This time, she stole a glance at Joseph as he picked up his phone again. Finally, after a moment, he typed something back. "Are you insane? Can you stop? It’s work hours—I don’t have time to chat with you." "And trying to get your attention? What kind of over-the-top romance novels have you been reading?" Joseph hit send without hesitation. Mason Alvarez’s face turned red as she read the message. Anger bubbled up inside her, but she forced herself to stay cal

Deciding not to engage further, he put his phone away. Ten minutes later, Mason Alvarez stormed into the office, her usual dramatic flair on full display. "Wait, Professor Wilson, why are you wearing Rogers’ shirt?" she asked, glancing at him before tossing a neatly packaged shirt onto his desk. "Here, I bought this for you. Consider it compensation." She didn’t even seem to notice that Felix Baker and Brady Rogers were also in the office. Joseph looked at her, utterly speechless. The excuse he had painstakingly crafted about the tree branch was now completely ruined. Felix and Brady’s gazes grew increasingly suspicious as they darted back and forth between him and Mason. "Your shirt is still at my dorm. I washed it, and once it’s dry, I’ll return it to you," Mason added casually, completely oblivious to how her words sounded to the others. It was only then that she noticed the strange looks from Felix and Brady. "Mason, why is Professor Wilson’s shirt at your dorm?" Felix aske
