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.

Chapter 941
“If nothing unexpected happens, the Cooper family will also send someone to Nova City to deal with the affairs of the Nova City Coopers.”“The younger generation of the Metropolis City Cooper family lacks true talent. Benson Cooper is notoriously protective of his own, and the heirs he has raised are unlikely to amount to much.”“On this trip to Nova City, avoid unnecessary contact with them unless absolutely required.”Preston Gutierrez offered this final caution.“I understand. I’ve never had a favorable impression of the Cooper family’s younger members. I have no interest in dealing with them,” Wayne Gutierrez replied with a nod.“Do not wear your emotions on your face. Whether you feel disdain or favor, keep it buried within.”Preston Gutierrez nodded faintly.“I understand, Father.”Wayne responded.“If you were Benson Cooper, how would you handle the Nova City Cooper family?” Preston Gutierrez asked.“How would I handle it? Either destroy them—or bring them to heel. There are on

“Old Murphy, you—!”Preston Gutierrez was left momentarily speechless.“Exactly. It’s not as if you have only one son. Lose one, and you still have others, don’t you?” Benson Cooper said with a thin, mocking smile.“And you have more than one son as well—why shouldn’t yours be the one to die?” Preston Gutierrez replied through gritted teeth.“That’s enough. This matter is settled.”“Old Gutierrez, your eldest son, Wayne, is exceptional. We’re entrusting him with this precisely because we believe he can handle it,” Vincent Murphy said, wearing the expression of a benevolent mediator.Preston Gutierrez looked deeply aggrieved, yet found no words with which to argue.“And what about the Cooper family’s situation? The Cooper family in Nova City has begun to show real promise. There are intricate ties between them and your Cooper family here in Metropolis City. Left unchecked, they may become a serious threat. Surely your family intends to deal with this?”Preston Gutierrez pressed on.“Th

The elderly man with the shadowed gaze was Benson Cooper, patriarch of the Cooper family—one of Metropolis City’s three dominant power clans—and a key figure within the Central Council.“For matters that don’t bear the light, it’s better to find somewhere more secluded,” a portly man in his sixties remarked.This was Preston Gutierrez, head of the Gutierrez family, likewise a heavyweight within the Central Council.“This isn’t the place for such discussion. Let’s move to the smaller conference room,” said an upright-looking elder with an air of stern integrity.He was Vincent Murphy, patriarch of the Murphy family, another pillar of power within Metropolis City and the Central Council.After Vincent Murphy spoke, Benson Cooper and Preston Gutierrez fell silent, rising without a word and leaving the main conference hall.Before long, the three arrived at a smaller meeting room. Once inside, Vincent Murphy shut the door carefully, as if wary of any intrusion.“What are your thoughts on

“That means keeping a close watch on Metropolis City—staying one step ahead and understanding their movements.”“Since they’re sending a so-called special envoy, the least we can do is learn everything about this person.”“To know your enemy is to ensure victory.”Joseph said.“I understand. Rest assured, Young Master—I’ll keep their situation firmly under control.”“It’s also time for you to find an opportunity to visit Mystic Medical Valley. First, to see the General’s only grandson, and second, to determine what contingencies the General may have left behind.”“If we want to accomplish anything significant, the strength we currently possess is far from sufficient.”“If we can find a way to regain control of the Southern Frontier army, then we’ll finally have the confidence to act.”Neil Foster said, cutting straight to the heart of the matter.“In the future, we should avoid discussing such critical matters over the phone. It’s better done face-to-face.”Joseph said cautiously.“Yo

“Are you out of your mind? What nonsense are you spouting?”Heidi couldn’t help but rap Lillian Morvek twice on the head. She understood perfectly well what the girl was implying, and her cheeks flushed faintly.“How is that nonsense? I’m just giving you two some time and space alone.”Lillian protested, rubbing her head.“Time and space, my foot. I don’t even have time tomorrow—my parents’ trial is scheduled, and my sister and I have to be there early.”Heidi shot her an exasperated look.“Then you should head back early. No matter what, as family, it’s best that you’re present.”Joseph said after hearing Heidi.“Of course we’ll be there.”“But it doesn’t really change anything. My sister told me the lawyer’s preliminary estimate—my dad will get at least three years. As for my mom, it’ll be more severe—no less than ten.”“That’s already with the victim saved. If you hadn’t intervened and ensured the girl wasn’t permanently harmed, my mom might never have seen the outside world again.

“Yes.”Heidi answered without hesitation.“Then why is this bell with Lillian? Where did this pair of bells come from? Can you explain it to me?”Joseph’s mind was crowded with questions.“It’s a long story—I’ll walk you through it.”Heidi straightened slightly and began her explanation.She recounted the entire history of the bells in meticulous detail—who had given them to her, how she had lost one, and how the other had ended up in Lillian Morvek’s hands.Throughout it all, Lillian simply nodded, confirming every word.After listening, Joseph found himself caught in a tangle of emotions—part bewilderment, part reluctant amusement.“So what you’re saying is… the one who saved me back then was you. And if you had produced this bell at the time, the one I would have married wouldn’t have been your sister—but you. Is that right?”Joseph said with a faint smile.“Yes—”“No, no!”“I was only sixteen or so back then—still a child. How could I possibly have married you?”Heidi hurriedly co
