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.

“Whether as an educator or in any other capacity, all my work is tied to medicine and scientific research.”“I believe these roles you’ve mentioned won’t interfere with my primary duties—if anything, they will reinforce one another.”“Moreover, my focus will always remain on teaching. As the head of Dragon Soaring Group, unless under exceptional circumstances, I won’t be directly involved in the company’s day-to-day management.”Joseph responded with calm composure.What followed was a barrage of questions from the press. The conference stretched on for over two hours.At last, it came to an end.Afterward, Joseph, Blake Morgan, Fiona, and the rest toured the new company’s headquarters.By the time all engagements were completed, it was already five in the afternoon. Joseph returned to his car, ready to head home.Just then, Neil Foster called. Joseph answered without hesitation.“Young Master, are you done for the day?”Neil’s voice came through the line.“I was just about to head ho

The moment the three of them appeared, flashes erupted across the venue in relentless waves.At the front of the stage stood three separate podiums, each equipped with a microphone.“Joseph, take the center. Today, you’re the main attraction.”Blake Morgan murmured, subtly guiding Joseph to the central podium.“Thank you.”Joseph replied softly, immediately understanding Blake’s intention—he was being placed in the lead to preside over the conference.“First, my sincere thanks to all members of the press and esteemed colleagues present today.”“It is my great honor to have received the full support of both the Morgan Group and the Cooper family. After careful deliberation and mutual agreement, we have decided to establish a joint venture—Dragon Soaring Group.”“Dragon Soaring Group will focus primarily on the medical field, building upon it to develop, produce, promote, and distribute new pharmaceuticals.”“It aspires not only to become a leading force in Elysia’s healthcare industry,

“What else would it be? You stayed up waiting—wasn’t it for this?”Mason Morgan said with a teasing grin.“Oh, stop it. Can you be a little gentler? What if you wake the child?”Molly struggled lightly, but after a couple of half-hearted attempts, she let him carry her into the bedroom.Before long, peculiar sounds filled the room, rising and falling in an unbroken rhythm.Fortunately, the house was well soundproofed—otherwise, it might have carried beyond the door.The sounds lingered for quite some time before finally fading, and those who made them drifted into sleep along with the night.Over the next several days, Joseph found himself unusually free. After such a long stretch of busyness, he finally had a rare chance to rest.Taking advantage of the lull, Joseph spent a couple of days out with Alice and Mason Alvarez. They didn’t venture far, staying within Nova City.After all, though the city had grown more stable, it was by no means entirely safe.During those days, Heidi occa

“I meant to tell you today, but he was busy. Before I had the chance, he slipped away.”Heidi replied.“Come, come—tell Grandpa in detail about this bell. It belongs to you, yet you don’t remember it at all.”“And this thing—it looks like something from a temple. I had people search every temple around Nova City, but none could identify its origin. So where exactly did these bells come from?”Old Mr. Cooper was intensely curious.Heidi then explained everything to Old Mr. Cooper in detail—the origin of the bells, along with all the strange coincidences and twists of fate surrounding them.After hearing her out, Old Mr. Cooper nodded slowly in understanding.“So that’s how it is… no wonder, no wonder!”“You and Joseph are bound by fate—and yet so much of it is woven through sheer coincidence!”He couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.“That’s right.”Heidi replied calmly.“And how do you plan to tell Joseph?”Old Mr. Cooper asked, turning the small bell over in his hand.“How else? I’ll

“Killing someone in Elysia is no easy matter.”“The experts we can currently mobilize are nearly exhausted. The top assassins on the rankings have already been swept clean.”“Autumnless, ranked first among them, is stationed in Nova City. No matter how many we send, it will make no difference.”“Of course, if any of you are eager to try your luck in Nova City, you are more than welcome. I have always admired courage.”“If any of you go and fail to return, I will see that your wives and children are well cared for.”Minotaur’s gaze swept slowly across the room, his words laden with implication.At once, the room fell into an awkward stillness.Sending others was one thing—but volunteering oneself was quite another.Entering Elysia alone was already a formidable challenge, let alone carrying out an assassination within its borders.Even professional killers had gone and never returned. Compared to them, what chance did these men have?The answer was obvious.For a moment, no one spoke.

“Professor Alvarez is indeed an admirable person. We share an office, and when I first arrived, she helped me tremendously.”Joseph nodded slightly.“That’s good to hear.”“You’re both young and exceptionally talented—you should have plenty in common.”Blake Morgan said with a smile.“It’s… not particularly remarkable.”Joseph replied noncommittally.“Well then, we’ll part ways here. To be honest, things have been quite busy lately. It’s not just your Uncle Mason—even I’ve been tied up.”As he spoke, they had already reached the gates of the Cooper family estate, where their cars were parked.“Alright, take care on your way.”Joseph waved in farewell, watching as Blake Morgan got into his car and drove off. Only then did he enter his own vehicle.As he did, Heidi crossed his mind.They had come today strictly for business, and he had barely exchanged more than a few words with her.Still, he had no intention of lingering at the Cooper residence.
