"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.

"What’s the use of complaining now? Things have already come to this.""Matters between young people should be left to the young to resolve. What business do old folks like us have meddling in it?""You worry far too much. At our age, do you really think we can decide how their future paths should unfold?"Old Mrs. Cooper gazed in the direction Fiona had left, her voice tinged with emotion."If I don’t worry, who will? I’m not dead yet. As long as I’m alive, I’ll worry until my last breath."Old Mr. Cooper replied stubbornly."Fine then. I, for one, don’t have the energy to worry anymore.""Fiona and Heidi’s aunt’s family said they’re coming over and plan to stay here for a while. I’ve already told the staff to make the arrangements.""They chose to come at this time—are they here to check on Fiona’s parents’ situation?"Old Mrs. Cooper said meaningfully."Heidi’s aunt… is that the one who used to do business in Nova City when the kids were little, the one who visited them often?"Old

"What are you talking about? What could I possibly be misunderstanding?""Sis, what’s wrong with you today? You seem so flustered."Heidi glanced at Fiona and blinked."Do I?"Fiona replied, putting on an air of calm.Once she settled down and thought it through, she realized she really had been overreacting. Mr. Wilson was clearly looking for her because of work—she hadn’t done anything wrong. Besides, her ex-husband asking to meet her was perfectly normal in any family. So why did she feel as if she had something to hide?"Of course you are. You’re not doing anything shady—so why are you so afraid of people finding out?"Heidi nodded, her tone firm and certain."Ahem… well, it’s getting late. I’ll tidy up and head out, or Mr. Wilson will be waiting too long.""Tomorrow morning, I need to pick up Auntie and the others. I’ll be at work during the day, so I’ll have to leave it to you to show them around.""As for where they’ll stay, they said they’ll stay here. Have Uncle Alvarez m

From a young age, Blake Morgan had personally guided Mason Morgan, and Mason had inherited his father’s sharp business instincts and commercial acumen almost perfectly.“The pharmaceutical industry has always been obscenely profitable.”“As long as what you have, Joseph, truly works, the Morgan family can help you turn it into unimaginable wealth.”Blake Morgan spoke with absolute confidence.“I actually have quite a large number of research results in my hands.”“I’ve just retrieved my old computer from back then.”“We still have time. I intend to use my own methods to support both the Morgan family and the Cooper family, helping you grow even further.”Joseph replied calmly.“You’re a professor at Nova University and such an exceptional physician.”“To us businessmen, you’re practically a gold mine.”“As long as you’re willing to give us the opportunity, we have ways to turn it into cash.”“But when you say the Cooper family, you mean the Cooper family of Nova City, right?”“The Nov

However, Blake Morgan shook his head.“This isn’t a matter of money. What matters is coordination—how we work in concert with Joseph.”“No matter how strong Joseph is, he’s still just one man. Even the strongest fists can’t fight four hands.”“What lies ahead will be an exceptionally grim situation.”Blake Morgan’s expression was heavy.“The old man is right.”“But there’s no need to be overly pessimistic. They have people—and so do we. And our people are no worse than those so-called assassins.”Joseph replied calmly.Hearing this, both Blake Morgan and Mason Morgan’s eyes lit up.“Joseph, you have other support?”Blake Morgan asked urgently.“I do. But we still can’t afford to let our guard down.”“Our plan is to make sure that every assassin who comes to Nova City stays in Nova City.”“Most of these killers were involved in the persecution of my mentor and me.”“My elder brother’s entire family was nearly wiped out by their hands. Since they’ve come this time, they won’t be leaving

Joseph got into the car, and Alice hurried after him.“Brother Joseph, can you really drive? If not, I can take over. I’ll drive slowly—it should be fine.”Alice asked, worried as she looked at him.“It’s fine. I can drive. Don’t worry—my hand is just injured, not unusable.”“Besides, my body recovers very quickly. I’ll be fine soon.”As Joseph spoke, he started the engine and pulled out.“Alright then. Just drive slower—there’s no need to rush.”Alice said softly, unable to hide her concern.“Where did Grandpa say we’re meeting?”Joseph asked.“Here. I’ll put my phone on the mount for navigation. Just follow it.”As she spoke, Alice placed her phone on the dashboard holder. Joseph glanced at it and immediately recognized the destination.Having lived in Nova City for many years, he knew the city well.“This is a tea house owned by our Morgan family.”“It’s our own place, quite upscale, and usually very few people come here.”“Discussing matters here should be relatively secure.”Alic

“I’ve remembered almost everything.”“Luckily, I didn’t turn into a vegetable. I forced myself through it.”“The things my mentor made me forget really were things that would have shattered me.”A bitter smile crossed Joseph’s face, tinged with desolation.“Brother Joseph…”Alice hesitated, unsure how to comfort him.“Professor Wilson, when you have the time, you can tell us about it. Let us shoulder some of it with you.”Mason Alvarez spoke up.“That old lady was right—keeping everything bottled up by yourself is exhausting. We can share the burden too.”Alice chimed in.“I know.”“But now isn’t the time for that. I still have urgent matters to deal with.”Joseph nodded, then continued.“Professor Wilson, you’re injured like this, and you don’t look well either. Why don’t you stay home and rest this afternoon?”“From the way you’re speaking, are you going out again?”Mason Alvarez asked in surprise.“I don’t have a choice. It’s extremely urgent.”“I’m going to arrange a meeting with
