"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.

    “It wasn’t entirely secure before, but now it is.”Old Mr. Cooper looked to be in high spirits.“How so?”Old Miss Cooper asked with evident curiosity.“My dear, whether you like hearing it or not, among the younger generation of our Cooper family, aside from Heidi and Fiona, there are hardly any who can truly be relied upon.”“If only we had a young man like Joseph in the Cooper family, I wouldn’t have to worry so much.”Old Mr. Cooper spoke with a trace of emotion.“Heidi and Fiona are quite good as they are. Some things can’t be forced. Some people are simply destined to be ordinary.”“Besides, I think those two girls are quite capable.”Old Miss Cooper added.“To have granddaughters like Fiona and Heidi is enough for me. Though they are women, if either of them could marry Joseph, it would be as if our Cooper family had gained an outstanding successor.”As Old Mr. Cooper mulled it over, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of delight.“You certainly dream big—both of them, no less.

    “Of course, that won’t be a problem. I’ve been collecting information on the Metropolis City Cooper family—call it what it is, their darker dealings—for years.”“Even now, people are still gathering intelligence. Even during the three years I was unconscious, the work never stopped.”“Everything we’ve gathered is stored in my room. If you want to see it now, I’ll take you there.”Old Mr. Cooper agreed readily.“Alright.”Joseph responded.Before long, Joseph wheeled Old Mr. Cooper into the inner hall.“Joseph, old man.”“Everything settled?”They had barely arrived when they encountered Old Miss Cooper.“With Joseph here, what could possibly go wrong?”“Go fetch me the key to the safe in my room. I need to open it.”Old Mr. Cooper said.“Of course.”“I’ll get it right away.”Old Miss Cooper turned to retrieve the key.Meanwhile, Joseph wheeled Old Mr. Cooper into the room.“Bring tea for our former son-in-law.”Once inside, Old Mr. Cooper gave the order.The servants quickly complied.

    “Release it to the public.”Joseph answered.“Release it?”Old Mr. Cooper and Fiona exchanged puzzled looks, not immediately grasping his intent.“The countless citizens of Elysia only know that my master has gone missing. They do not know he is dead—let alone that he was murdered.”“It is time they learned the truth. Once this video is made public, public sentiment will shift to my side.”“The three great elders of the Central Council will come under scrutiny, drawn into the vortex of public opinion. They will not dare act rashly against me.”“From that moment on, if anything happens to me, the people of Elysia will look to them first.”Joseph spoke, his gaze distant and resolute.“You’re securing your own safety—brilliantly.”Old Mr. Cooper’s eyes lit up.“Not only that. I am also buying us time—time we desperately need to grow.”“I intend to use public opinion to form a standoff with the three great power families of the Central Council, to create a fragile equilibrium.”“That bala

    “An explanation… how am I supposed to explain?”Toby Cooper stammered, his face a mask of confusion and unease.He had never expected Joseph to press him like this—never imagined he could be so relentless.He had come here assuming he was condescending to a lesser family, convinced that the modest Cooper family would fawn over him. Instead, things had taken a turn he could not have foreseen.“You don’t know how to explain? Then I suggest you go home and ask your father.”Joseph flicked his sleeve and turned away, his voice dripping with contempt, anger, and disdain.“Everyone else is unaware of General Eugene Wilson’s death, yet you speak of it with absolute certainty. From the way you speak, it seems his death is connected to you.”“No—more precisely, it is connected to your Metropolis City Cooper family.”“As a member of that family, shouldn’t you provide an explanation for what you’ve just said?”Old Mr. Cooper added calmly, driving the point home.“He keeps insisting that General

    He had brought quite a number of men with him, but compared to the Cooper family, they were vastly outnumbered.If a conflict were to erupt now, he would gain nothing from it.“You… you!”Toby Cooper was so furious he could barely speak, and beneath the anger, a flicker of fear crept in.At that moment, Old Mr. Cooper raised his hand again, signaling the crowd to quiet down.“Young man from the Metropolis City Cooper family—if you’ve come here merely to flaunt your power and indulge your sense of superiority, then you may leave at once.”“Do not flatter yourselves. The Metropolis City Cooper family and the Nova City Cooper family have long since gone their separate ways.”“Everything you’ve said is meaningless.”Old Mr. Cooper rebuked him coldly.The others immediately voiced their agreement.“Fine. Then I’ll get straight to the point.”“These are two letters from my father. You may read them.”“You would do well to follow the instructions within. Otherwise… you may come to regret it.

    “What Toby Cooper? Never heard of him. There’s no such young master in our Cooper family.”The servant at the door spoke deliberately, feigning ignorance.“What the hell is wrong with you people from the Nova City Cooper family? The young master Toby Cooper of the Metropolis City Cooper family—didn’t I notify you yesterday to prepare a grand welcome? And now you’re playing dumb?”The skinny, monkey-like youth was already convinced that the Nova City Coopers were pretending not to know.“Ridiculous.”The servant moved to shut the door, but the wiry young man quickly stopped him.“Fuck—what exactly are you people trying to pull?”At that moment, Toby Cooper stepped forward. Dressed in garish, flamboyant colors, he carried himself with brazen arrogance.“I don’t know any Toby Cooper. How could I just let you in?”The servant put on an innocent expression.“What’s going on here?”A voice came from inside—it was none other than Uncle Alvarez.“Steward Alvarez, some street drifter is claimi
