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.

“Very impressive. It’s clear everyone here is putting in tremendous effort.”Joseph spoke with evident approval.“At our base, only the truly exceptional earn the right to stand among us.”“Loyalty is the foundation—then comes capability and talent. All three are indispensable.”“Every one of them is a rare find.”Brian Adams introduced them with unmistakable confidence.“It shows.”Joseph nodded.Just then, a car pulled up at the entrance of the base. Neil Foster stepped out and walked briskly toward Joseph and Brian Adams.“Young Master—good news!”Only when he drew near did Neil speak, his voice tinged with excitement.“Good news? What kind of good news?” Joseph asked.“Several well-known international master thieves have already entered Elysia. It’s safe to assume they’ve come for what we possess.”Neil Foster said, visibly pleased.“Thieves?”“So when assassination failed, they’ve turned to stealing instead?”“A clever adjustment. After all, if a theft fails, only one person dies

“Everything on the Nova City Garrison’s side appears calm—nothing out of the ordinary.”“During this period, we’ve been dealing with the assassins entering Nova City with tacit coordination. As of now, that work is essentially wrapping up.”“As for Clarence Bennett, he did try to reach out. They remain quite curious about our identities—especially yours, Young Master.”Neil Foster reported to Joseph.“It’s only natural for them to be curious. Have they used any resources to investigate us?” Joseph asked.“They certainly have, but it seems they’ve come up empty.”“I’ve operated in Nova City for many years—when it comes to secrecy, I don’t boast without reason.”“As long as I don’t wish to be known, no one will uncover who I am.”Neil Foster spoke with complete confidence.“I believe that. You once oversaw intelligence operations in the southern territories—your capabilities have never been in doubt.”Joseph responded with evident approval.To become the master’s right-hand man required

“They probably haven’t noticed yet.”“But once they do, it won’t take long for them to realize that you and Autumnless are one and the same.”“And once that happens, they’ll inevitably become wary of you.”Neil Foster considered for a moment before speaking.“Old Foster is right. If they discover that you control that research—and that you are Autumnless—they’ll sense something unusual.”“And once they grow suspicious, they won’t act rashly.”Brian Adams added.“Which is why we need to move quickly.”Joseph nodded slightly as he spoke, then took out a document and handed it to Neil Foster.“What’s this?”Neil Foster accepted it, puzzled.“This is the second proposal for creating superhumans.”Joseph replied.“Creating superhumans?”“But didn’t you say it’s impossible?”“Does this proposal actually work?”Both Neil Foster and Brian Adams were visibly surprised.“Strictly speaking, it doesn’t.”Joseph smiled faintly.“Then…?”The two exchanged confused glances.“It’s a trap.”“What this

“You’ll understand when I arrive.”Joseph said no more.“Alright. I’ll be at headquarters all day tomorrow—just let me know when you get here.”Since Joseph chose not to elaborate, Neil Foster didn’t press further.“Okay.”Joseph responded. After exchanging farewells, they ended the call.With those matters settled, Joseph finally lay down on his bed.Over the past ten days, he had spent most of his time in the laboratory, and the mental strain had left him somewhat fatigued.Before long, he drifted into a deep, dreamless sleep.Following Joseph’s instructions, the final portion of the original Superhuman Project was released in full.As expected, its publication stirred considerable commotion.However, such advanced material was far beyond the grasp of the general public—they could only watch the spectacle without truly understanding it.Those who did understand, however, remained silent, seeking either to profit from it or to help others do the same.Meanwhile, at the headquarters o

After a thorough spree through the supermarket, Alice and Mason Alvarez finally left, thoroughly satisfied.Perhaps it was simply in a woman’s nature—this formidable urge to shop was something Joseph found utterly impossible to restrain.Resigned, he could only let them have their way.With the work at the laboratory concluded, a sense of calm seemed to settle over everyone.Back home, Joseph prepared a lavish dinner as usual. After the meal, he handed the task of washing up to Mason Alvarez.As for himself, he returned to his room and placed a call to Fiona.Having been occupied in the lab, he hadn’t checked in on her for quite some time.Fiona, for her part, was likely just as busy.The call connected quickly.“Hello, Professor Wilson—good evening.”Fiona’s voice came through.“Good evening.”“How are things with the new drug?”Joseph asked directly.“Professor Wilson, I apologize—I’ve been so busy these days that I haven’t had the chance to report back.”“The new drug has already b

“The situation on the Cooper family’s side shouldn’t be too bad. We’ve been assisting them with marketing and promotion.”“But I haven’t been too involved in the specifics of our collaboration.”“The first drug they’ve launched targets menstrual pain in women—its market potential is enormous.”Blake Morgan replied.“Let’s hope so.”Joseph nodded.“We can coordinate with the Cooper family and assess the revenue generated by the new drugs this month. Once we reach a certain scale, I’d like to establish a jointly funded company.”“You would serve as its legal representative. On one hand, you could independently develop your own new drugs; on the other, you could help coordinate cooperation between the Morgan Group and the Cooper family.”“This new company would give you a platform to build your own financial base, while also serving as a bridge for our collaboration.”“Previously, both Alice’s father and the Cooper family had expressed interest in such an arrangement.
