"What does it have to do with you?" Blake Morgan was the first to reply.

"Grandpa is right. What does it have to do with you?" Alice also replied in the group.

Seeing their responses, Mason Morgan was speechless and could only send a series of question marks in the group to express his astonishment.

"Dad, although you have the final say in Alice's matters, and I trust your judgment, I should at least know what kind of man my daughter is going to marry, right? I'll find time to go over and take a look after a while. There are too many things going on here in Metropolis City at the moment. @Blake Morgan," after a long time, Mason Morgan sent another lengthy message.

"Do as you wish. It's not like you can change anything anyway," Blake Morgan said rather domineeringly.

"Dad, you're overthinking. It's only just beginning now!" Alice was obviously a bit exasperated too.

After replying, Alice put down her phone.

"Why aren't you eating yet?" At this moment, Joseph also came out from the kitchen. He placed the last dish on the table.

"Ah? I was waiting for you! I thought about it and felt it wasn't quite right to start eating alone," Alice was slightly stunned, then answered.

"Try it. No need to be so formal," Joseph picked up a piece of cheese steak for Alice, making her feel a sense of bliss.

"Thank you," Alice expressed her gratitude, then took a bite.

However, after just one bite, her expression changed, and she instantly froze.

"Um, how is it? Not tasty?" Joseph noticed Alice's unusual expression and asked.

However, Alice didn't answer. Instead, she picked up two more pieces and started eating.

"If it's not tasty, don't force yourself. Try something else?" Joseph blinked and suggested.

"Joseph, what are you saying? What do you mean by not tasty? It's too delicious! How can it be so delicious? This is the most delicious cheese steak I've ever eaten. It's simply too good."

"I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to eat first. It's too delicious," Alice couldn't wait to start eating. She was already a bit hungry, and with such delicacies in front of her, she found it even harder to control herself.

"This is delicious!"

"Oh, this is delicious too."

"This one, this one, even more delicious."

"Wow, this is the most delicious. It's too good."

As she ate, Alice kept praising Joseph endlessly.

Hearing this, Joseph felt a bit unreal. Was it really that delicious?

"Isn't this just an ordinary home-cooked meal? Is it really that delicious?" Joseph smiled awkwardly. Was this girl just teasing him?

"Joseph, you're being too humble. Whew, even the top chefs in my family can't make dishes as delicious as yours."

"Joseph, be more confident. You're really amazing and awesome," Alice continued to praise him while not stopping her hands from eating.

Joseph smiled and started eating too.

Alice ate more dishes, while Joseph ate more rice. Since childhood, Joseph had always had a huge appetite.

After about an hour, Alice was finally full. Although Joseph had a large appetite, he was already full at this point.

"If it's not enough, I can make more for you," Joseph noticed Alice's lingering desire for more.

"Ah? No, no. I can't eat anymore. Really can't eat anymore," Alice quickly responded.

She seemed to have been eating a bit like a wolf just now, not very ladylike. Would Joseph dislike her?

Thinking about this, Alice felt a bit uneasy.

"That's good then," Joseph smiled.

"Joseph, I don't usually eat so unladylike. Do you prefer gentler girls?" Alice asked tentatively.

"You just need to be the way you like. It doesn't matter what kind of girls I like," Joseph chuckled.

"How can that be? That's too casual," Alice shook her head.

"Then let me put it another way. I like all your ways," Joseph said with a smile.

"Ah? Are you serious?" When Joseph said this, Alice's pretty face instantly turned red. She turned around and fled back to her room.

Joseph watched Alice's departing figure and just laughed. She was already eighteen years old, yet still like a child.

After Alice left, Joseph began to clean up.

Back in her room, it took a long time for Alice's burning heart to cool down.

"So, Joseph likes me too. Does that mean we have mutual feelings?" Alice lay on the bed, hugging her big plush doll, talking to herself.

Suddenly, she thought of something, grabbed her phone, dialed Blake Morgan's number, and called.

Before long, the call was answered.

"Hello, Alice. How is it going? Have you arranged everything?" Blake Morgan's voice came from the other end of the line.

"Of course. It's not a difficult task. I've settled Joseph in," Alice replied.

"So, what's the matter? Calling grandpa so late?" Blake Morgan asked again.

"There's nothing in particular. I just wanted to tell you that Joseph's cooking skills are really good, much better than those top chefs in our family," Alice couldn't stop praising Joseph's culinary skills.

"Hahaha... Is that so? Now I want to taste it even more."

"However, I can't fully trust your opinion on it being delicious because, in the eyes of someone you love, even their flaws are virtues," Blake Morgan couldn't help but tease.

"What do you mean by 'someone you love'? My relationship with Joseph is not certain yet!" Alice said this, but her heart was happy.

"I remember three years ago, when Joseph married into the Cooper family, someone in our family hid and cried for a day and night, with swollen eyes."

"She even said Joseph Wilson had promised to marry her and that Joseph wasn't a man of his word," Blake Morgan teased again.

"Grandpa, you... Always teasing people. I won't talk to you anymore," Alice's pretty face turned slightly red, unable to keep a straight face. After exchanging a few pleasantries with Blake Morgan, she hung up the phone.

After hanging up, Alice opened F******k and found that her update had exploded with 99 comments.

Moreover, when she opened it, she saw that all 99 comments on the update were from the food photos she had just posted, mostly from boys.

"Alice, who is this man? He's not your boyfriend, is he?"

"Alice, are you in a relationship? Which family's young master is this?"

"Joseph? Who is Joseph?"

"Fuck, if he becomes your boyfriend, I'll kill him..."

"Hehe... Don't let me see this guy in Nova City. Every time I see him, I'll beat him up twice..."

Alice read the comments for a while. They were all a mess.

    “He said that if there’s a need, he’ll step in,” Heidi reported. “But not to help our parents—he just can’t stand the thought of that girl losing her life.”“He said he’s a doctor, and saving lives is his duty.”Fiona paused, a quiet sigh escaping her. “Mr. Wilson’s breadth of mind is far beyond mine.”“It’s not about comparison,” Heidi said, eating as she spoke. “He’s always been that way—unfussy about the small things, and generous in scope.”“I never noticed before,” Fiona said with a rueful smile.“Not noticing then doesn’t matter, noticing now is enough. Either way, keeping that girl alive is a kindness—it builds merit, whether or not it lightens our parents’ sentence,” Heidi said with easy indifference.“I’ll call the station tomorrow and ask about her condition. If there’s a need, we’ll consider asking Mr. Wilson to help,” Fiona said.“Let’s just rest tonight,” Heidi told her. “Things are what they are; fretting won’t change them.”Fiona only nodded.By noon the next day, Charl

    “Grandfather, that’s not what I meant,” Fiona said, shaking her head lightly.“Then what is it you want me to do?” old Mr. Cooper asked.“Leaving aside the gravity of their crimes, there’s no lawful way to get them out,” she replied evenly. “And even if there were, there’d be no need for you to intervene—because they’re simply not worth it.”“If you already know that, why bring it to me at all?” he pressed.“I only think you and Grandmother have a right to know,” Fiona answered plainly. “You are, after all, my father’s parents.”“They’re both old enough to be responsible for their own actions,” old Miss Cooper said at last. “It’s not that your grandfather and I are heartless—we’re powerless. We can’t spend our lives cleaning up after them, enabling them to run wild.”“I understand, Grandmother,” Fiona replied softly. “I don’t blame you. In truth, I feel the same.”“You can hire the best attorneys and argue the case on its merits—that’s one of the few things we can still do,” old Mr. C

    Faced with Joseph’s question, Heidi fell silent for a moment.“I’m torn—truly conflicted. I don’t even know if I should be telling you any of this.”She still couldn’t bring herself to say it.“What’s there to hide, silly girl? Since when have we kept things from each other?”Joseph let out a dry, amused chuckle.“All right.”“Here’s what happened.”Taking heart from Joseph’s words, Heidi recounted the mess involving her parents from start to finish. Joseph listened with unfeigned seriousness.When she was done, he could only manage a wry smile.“She brought this on herself. Who could possibly help her now?”“Your father might face something lighter. But your mother—she’s looking at at least ten years, if not more.”“And if that child hadn’t survived, or is left with permanent disability or complications, her sentence would only grow harsher.”Joseph spoke with a weary shake of the head.“That’s exactly what Captain Christopher at the Nova City Police Department said.”“Brother-in-law

    “Fiona, Fiona, I don’t want to go to prison—least of all to die,” Maria Long persisted, still refusing to accept reality.“You don’t want to die—does that girl?” Fiona replied, weary resignation edging her voice. “You’re my mother, but saying something like that is too much, isn’t it? In your eyes, is your life the only one that matters?”“Dad, Mom, just wait here for news. We’ll keep you informed,” Heidi said at last. It was all she could manage.“Let’s go,” Fiona said, taking Heidi by the hand. After a few steps, she turned back to Stephen Cooper. “Dad—take care of yourself.”“Do what you can. I’ll accept whatever comes,” Stephen murmured, lifting his eyes, sorrow swimming in them.“I’ll do my best,” Fiona said with a small nod, then led Heidi away.“You’ll stay here tonight,” Captain Christopher added. “Tomorrow you’ll be transferred to the detention center. And stop daydreaming—this is serious. No one can save you.”Maria Long’s face crumpled into utter despair.“Useless old man—w

    Following Captain Christopher’s instruction, a policewoman came over and played the footage for Fiona.Fiona and Heidi leaned in to watch. The longer they looked, the grimmer their expressions became.Hearing the voices from the laptop, Maria Long shrank into herself, a flicker of fear crossing her eyes.Minute by minute, time slipped by. After more than ten minutes, Fiona exhaled, weariness etched across her features.“I’ve seen enough,” she said quietly.The officer stopped the video.“Fiona, Fiona—you have to save me,” Maria sobbed. “I can’t spend the rest of my life in prison. Please, I’m begging you.”“Mom, you’re my mother. No matter what, that will never change. As your daughter, I want to help you. But you left yourself no way out—none at all. How am I supposed to save you?” Fiona said with a helpless, strained smile.“Mom, I’ve told you time and again—rein in your temper, don’t go to extremes. Now look where we are. How are we supposed to help?” Heidi added, her voice tight w

    “Intentional injury, robbery and extortion, unlawful detention, and abuse of a minor—what is this nonsense? Has she lost her mind? She dared to commit actual crimes?” Fiona’s voice shook as she drove, emotions running high.“Who knows with her. In her world, she’s always the center of gravity. Once she’s worked up, there’s nothing she won’t do,” Heidi said, analyzing as she spoke. “She’s not even short on money. Why would she rob or extort anyone? Has she gone mad?” “And how would she pull that off alone? I’d bet Dad was involved too.”Fiona exhaled slowly, the car filling with a heavy silence. She kept her eyes on the road, her face clouded, heading for the Nova City Police Department.Half an hour later, she pulled up at the station. The two of them hurried inside.It was after hours, but in a place like this, overtime and late-night cases were nothing unusual.“Excuse me, I’m family of Maria Long. Which one is Captain Christopher?” Fiona asked a policewoman as soon as she stepp
