2024-09-12 22:54:31"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.

“These two proposals—one is Professor Garcia’s original version, and the other is the revised model we’ve developed. We’ve made certain refinements, though in essence they are quite similar.”“The original version has already been largely disclosed after we confirmed its infeasibility.”“As for the remaining portion, we will release it as well—today.”“But this new model… we’ll keep it hidden for now.”Joseph held the new proposal in his hand, his tone carrying a subtle, deliberate meaning.“Hidden?”The others were visibly puzzled.One made public, the other concealed—what was the reasoning?“Hidden… so they’ll come and steal it.”A faint curve appeared on Joseph’s lips.“This…”“I see now. So that’s the plan.”“Let them steal it—brilliant, truly brilliant.”“…”Everyone present was sharp-minded; with Joseph’s hint, understanding dawned almost instantly.“We can’t remain on the defensive forever.”“These ill-intentioned people have been watching us day and night. To obtain this resea

“Of course we should remain cautious. Confidentiality is absolutely vital to our plans.”“If anything leaks, all our efforts will come to nothing.”Alice replied.“At present, we’ll need some time to observe them before we can be certain they pose no risk.”“Even if they were students of Professors Garcia and Gonzalez, it makes no difference.”“The world is full of unforeseen turns—one must always think a step further.”Joseph nodded slightly.“Professor Wilson, the way you handle things—it doesn’t feel like you’re in your twenties at all.”“Most people your age are still painfully naive, but you… you seem more like a wily old fox.”Mason Alvarez said, puzzled.“Do I?”“Perhaps I just think a little more than others.”Joseph chuckled.“It’s not that simple.”Mason Alvarez rolled her eyes.Joseph offered no further explanation.Some things in this world simply defy explanation.The way a person navigates life is shaped by their experiences and the environment in which they were raised.

“Since that’s the case, let them come in.”Joseph spoke upon hearing this.“Alright.”With that, Blake Morgan stepped outside.Before long, he returned with two men and two women. All four were over thirty, the eldest appearing close to forty.“Professor Wilson, Miss!”The four greeted Joseph and Alice as they entered.Joseph and Alice both responded with slight nods.“These four are all students of Professor Garcia and Professor Gonzalez. They previously participated in parts of Project 957. While not core members, they were involved in several key experiments.”“After careful consideration, they’ve decided to rejoin and complete what their mentors left unfinished.”Blake Morgan introduced them to Joseph.“Welcome. I’m very glad you’ve chosen to join my team.”Joseph stepped forward and shook each of their hands.“We were once part of Professor Yao and Professor Gonzalez’s team. Though not core members, we were still involved in the project.”“After thinking it over, we decided to jo

“Joseph, that move of yours is brilliant,” Blake Morgan exclaimed the moment he grasped the plan.“Even in the publicly released version, I can openly acknowledge significant flaws—and deliberately leave them in.”“With their ambition, even if I warn them of obvious defects, they will press forward regardless.”“And if they hesitate, suspecting we’ve concealed something, they will exhaust every means to obtain the version we’ve hidden.”“And the version I keep in reserve will be an even greater surprise.”Joseph’s gaze sharpened.“This is an open strategy,” Alice murmured, fully understanding now. “No matter what they choose, as long as they harbor ulterior motives, they will fall into the trap.”“You could say that.”“You cannot reason with such people. They will neither listen nor retreat willingly.”“But once they pay a price—perhaps even with their lives—once the pain is undeniable, they will learn caution.”A cold smile touched his lips.“Excellent. Truly excellent.”“We cannot r

“The rest are minor players—none particularly formidable on their own,” Neil Foster said with a trace of concern. “But they are numerous. And that, in itself, is troublesome.”“If they are so eager to obtain this research,” Joseph replied with a cold smile, “then I shall prepare a generous gift for them.”“And what does the Young Master intend to do?” Neil asked, curiosity unmistakable.“You’ll see in due time.”“Without losing a single soldier, I’ll make them suffer a costly lesson.”“They will learn that coveting what belongs to me comes at a price.”His voice was glacial.“It seems you already have a strategy in mind,” Neil said. “Then I won’t pry. I look forward to witnessing it.”“How goes the cleanup within Nova City?” Joseph asked.“We’ve maintained constant operations. Most of the assassins within the city have been eliminated.”“However, new ones continue to arrive. The bounty is enormous—everyone wants to try their luck.”“At this point, neutralizing them has become a long-t

“Because I am confident I can bring this project under control.”“And more importantly, I had no real choice but to accept it. Taking it on is the optimal solution to resolving everything.”“As for the deeper reasons behind that… I’ll tell you when the time is right.”Joseph did not elaborate further.“Since you’ve made up your mind, I won’t try to dissuade you,” Fiona said with a quiet sigh.“I only want to remind you to be careful.”“A project this disruptive will attract attention from all over the world—especially from those with ulterior motives.”“I know.”“Truth be told, I may be the only one willing to shoulder it.”“To take it on is to stand at the very center of the storm.”Joseph smiled lightly.“That’s true.”“But a decision like this isn’t one you’d make lightly.”“I won’t say more. If you need anything, just ask.”Fiona nodded.“How is the new drug progressing? Have the suggestions I made last time been implemented?”Joseph shifted the subject.“The rollout is going exce
