"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.

“Professor Wilson said he’ll come by tomorrow at three in the afternoon. He has some matters he wants to discuss with you,” Fiona replied.Old Mr. Cooper nodded slightly at her words. “Yes, that’s something that should be discussed.”“Then, Grandfather, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head back first. I need to get up early tomorrow morning,” Fiona said after finishing her report.“Go on, go on. Get some proper rest and make sure everything is arranged well tomorrow,” Old Mr. Cooper said gently.With that, Fiona took her leave.Heidi, together with the household staff, wheeled Old Mr. Cooper back to his room.Under normal circumstances, the old man would have already been asleep by this hour.At the same time, Joseph had returned home as well.Once he was back, Mason Alvarez checked Joseph’s wounds again and applied medicine that would aid healing.Alice, for her part, had specially prepared a nourishing soup to replenish his energy and calm his nerves.

“This medicine is excellent—specifically for treating women’s physiological issues.”“When it comes to dysmenorrhea, there’s virtually no drug on the market that can cure it at the root. If this medicine truly delivers effects comparable to a miracle drug—and even offers a complete cure—it would undoubtedly become a bestseller. An absolute blockbuster.”Old Mr. Cooper gazed at the documents before him, sighing with emotion.“I think so too,” Fiona agreed.“This was given to you by your brother-in-law?” Heidi asked, rolling her eyes.“Yes,” Fiona replied.“You didn’t take advantage of him again, did you?” Heidi couldn’t help but remark sarcastically.“As for profits, I never intended to shortchange him—if anything, I planned to give him more.”“Whether it’s the Cooper family or myself, we truly owe him a great deal.”Hearing this, Fiona’s delicate face showed a hint of awkwardness. Her younger sister was far too blunt—painfully honest, even. She gave her no face at all. If Fiona hadn’t

"You can’t put it that way. When my mentor and I were down on our luck back then, Old Mr. Cooper was willing to lend us a hand. That alone was no small kindness.""No matter how you look at it, the ties between the two of us and the Cooper family can’t be explained in just a few words.""The growth of the Cooper family benefits me as well—really, it benefits both sides.""But the road ahead is still long, and no one knows how things will ultimately unfold."Joseph spoke with a hint of emotion."I was too young back then. There were many things Grandpa would never tell me.""Perhaps, for various reasons, he couldn’t."Fiona said slowly."Remember to tell Old Mr. Cooper that I’ll come by tomorrow at three in the afternoon to talk with him. I won’t call him myself."Joseph said to Fiona."Don’t worry. I won’t forget."Fiona replied seriously.After that, the two continued discussing the new drugs for a while, going over various details.In the end, Fiona used a flash drive to copy the da

"There’s no need to worry about the efficacy of these drugs.""Take the medication for menstrual pain, for example. Heidi has already used it. Of course, she took the formula I prepared. After using it, she should no longer suffer from dysmenorrhea.""The formula and this new drug share the same active components. Turning the formula into a finished medicine simply means standardizing it into a herbal-based pharmaceutical.""The only real challenge lies in purifying the active compounds. Everything else shouldn’t be particularly difficult.""You’re my student—you should be able to tell as well."Joseph spoke with a faint smile."Of course I can. These days, I’ve read a great many books, and I’ve followed you in seeing quite a few patients. I feel I’ve already developed some basic medical judgment.""But… you said Heidi has used this formula?"Fiona tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, speaking with quiet confidence."Yes. Not too long ago, in fact. You can ask her about the results

"If my understanding is correct, the Cooper family’s core business lies in processing and manufacturing pharmaceutical raw materials. But raw material production has never been the most profitable segment.""What you earn is essentially what others leave behind. The returns may be decent, but they’re not enough to allow the Cooper family to continue expanding."Joseph stated plainly."That’s true, but there’s nothing we can do about it. We don’t have formulas or patents. Even if we had talent in biopharmaceuticals, it would still be useless.""Over the years, the Cooper family has relied heavily on cooperation with the Morgan family. Ever since they scaled back most of that collaboration, the group’s overall business size has shrunk quite a bit.""That said, things aren’t exactly terrible right now. Given our original scale, this is simply us returning to what we were in the first place."Fiona smiled faintly."You didn’t have formulas or patents before. But now, you do."Joseph repli

"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
