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.

“As for so-called super-humans, whether they can truly be realized—I don’t know,” Joseph said evenly. “But I do know that certain individuals with ulterior motives already believe they can.”“That is why they are exhausting every means to extract something from our researchers—going so far as to endanger lives.”“If this project remains shrouded in secrecy, speculation will only intensify. And our researchers will suffer even greater harm.”His composure never wavered.“Professor Wilson, since you acknowledge the immense risks involved, why take on this project at all? Aren’t you afraid of those dangers?” another reporter pressed.“Afraid?” Joseph’s lips curved faintly. “What others call monsters in the dark are, to me, nothing extraordinary.”The audacity of his reply stirred a ripple of astonishment through the room.He continued answering questions for some time. Save for matters involving classified information, he spoke with remarkable candor—leaving little unsaid.By the time th

Many of those present had not personally participated in Research Project No. 957, yet all were aware of its existence.Of its two principal investigators, one was dead, the other left paralyzed, with little hope of ever regaining consciousness.Everyone understood, at least in part, the project’s taboo nature.When Joseph, a newcomer, was appointed Chief Scientist, some found it questionable. But the moment they learned he would assume control of Project No. 957, their perspective shifted.Anyone bold enough to take on Project No. 957 was more than qualified to serve as Chief Scientist of the Morgan Group.After all, not everyone possessed such resolve.“Is Project No. 957 really going to be restarted? Is that wise?”“Chairman, before relaunching 957, we should conduct a collective evaluation. Its sensitivity is no secret to any of us.”“Exactly. Restarting it demands extreme caution.”“…”Voices rose one after another, each tinged with concern.“Project 957 is indeed extraordinary,”

“Have you conducted human trials?”“Or have you not?”Joseph turned to Alice. From the look on her face, he could already guess the answer.“Let me explain,” Blake Morgan stepped forward.“We did conduct a human trial. We injected the genetic compound into a terminal cancer patient who had only days left to live.”“After the injection, there was no visible change in the progression of his cancer. However, his physical strength increased more than twentyfold.”“But at the same time, he descended into complete madness. He was utterly uncontrollable, devoid of all sensation, transformed into nothing more than a killing machine.”“Because he could not be restrained, we had no choice but to put him down. Power without control is catastrophic. The destruction he caused was immense, and had it drawn public attention, the consequences would have been beyond our ability to contain.”“It was also because of that human trial that news of our research breakthrough was leaked.”“After that, Profes

“I have a general understanding of the situation.”“What remains is to examine the detailed experimental data, the conclusions—everything confidential.”“Once I’ve reviewed those, I should have a clear picture of what this project truly entails.”Joseph nodded slightly.The file in his hands contained no substantive description of the project itself—only background information on the researchers and basic administrative details. There was no explicit account of what had actually been studied.“The detailed data and comprehensive reports are all in the lab.”“I’ll have Alice walk you through them personally.”“She is now the only one who knows the full truth—the sole keeper of this secret.”“Once you understand the research and its results, you can decide how to proceed.”Blake Morgan continued.“That will suffice.”Joseph inclined his head.“After that, if you choose to take over the project, I’ll arrange for you to meet the Morgan Group’s scientific team.”“If you wish to select assi

“Oh, alright, alright—I’m going.”Mason Alvarez hurried off to wash the dishes.She had always been rather indolent, but under Alice’s influence, even she had begun to change.With Mason in the kitchen, Alice and Joseph retired to rest.In such troubled times, neither Alice nor Mason had the heart for much else.As for Joseph, his thoughts revolved around only two matters: how to ensure Alice’s absolute safety—and how to help both the Cooper family and the Morgan family rise to greater heights.The next morning, Joseph was awakened by the shrill vibration of his phone.He glanced at the screen. It was Geoffrey Harris.After steadying himself, he answered.“Good morning, President Harris.”“Good morning, Mr. Wilson.”Harris’s warm voice came through the line.“What can I do for you?”Joseph asked.“Nothing urgent. I simply wished to have a word.”“I understand that the chairman of the Morgan Group intends to invite you to take over an important project—and to appoint you as their Chief
Chapter 895
“How is that overbearing? Joseph is concerned for your safety—don’t be so ungrateful.”“Anyone involved in this project will inevitably become privy to its secrets.”“And right now, there are forces everywhere with their eyes fixed on this research. Anyone who knows the inside details could be in danger.”Alice spoke up at that moment.“It’s not that I don’t understand Mr. Wilson’s concern.”“But if you can stand by his side, then I want to as well.”“Besides, I’ve collaborated with the Morgan Group many times. I’m quite familiar with their research team.”“If he needs assistance, I’m undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.”Mason Alvarez insisted.“I’ll consider it carefully.”“But I need to examine the specifics of the research before making a decision.”Joseph replied.“I’ll call Grandfather tomorrow morning and explain your plan.”“He’s probably already resting.”Alice nodded slightly.Just then, her phone began to vibrate.“Oh—no need to wait until morning.”“Grandfather is call
