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 762
“Fiona, Fiona, I don’t want to go to prison—least of all to die,” Maria Long persisted, still refusing to accept reality.“You don’t want to die—does that girl?” Fiona replied, weary resignation edging her voice. “You’re my mother, but saying something like that is too much, isn’t it? In your eyes, is your life the only one that matters?”“Dad, Mom, just wait here for news. We’ll keep you informed,” Heidi said at last. It was all she could manage.“Let’s go,” Fiona said, taking Heidi by the hand. After a few steps, she turned back to Stephen Cooper. “Dad—take care of yourself.”“Do what you can. I’ll accept whatever comes,” Stephen murmured, lifting his eyes, sorrow swimming in them.“I’ll do my best,” Fiona said with a small nod, then led Heidi away.“You’ll stay here tonight,” Captain Christopher added. “Tomorrow you’ll be transferred to the detention center. And stop daydreaming—this is serious. No one can save you.”Maria Long’s face crumpled into utter despair.“Useless old man—w

Following Captain Christopher’s instruction, a policewoman came over and played the footage for Fiona.Fiona and Heidi leaned in to watch. The longer they looked, the grimmer their expressions became.Hearing the voices from the laptop, Maria Long shrank into herself, a flicker of fear crossing her eyes.Minute by minute, time slipped by. After more than ten minutes, Fiona exhaled, weariness etched across her features.“I’ve seen enough,” she said quietly.The officer stopped the video.“Fiona, Fiona—you have to save me,” Maria sobbed. “I can’t spend the rest of my life in prison. Please, I’m begging you.”“Mom, you’re my mother. No matter what, that will never change. As your daughter, I want to help you. But you left yourself no way out—none at all. How am I supposed to save you?” Fiona said with a helpless, strained smile.“Mom, I’ve told you time and again—rein in your temper, don’t go to extremes. Now look where we are. How are we supposed to help?” Heidi added, her voice tight w

“Intentional injury, robbery and extortion, unlawful detention, and abuse of a minor—what is this nonsense? Has she lost her mind? She dared to commit actual crimes?” Fiona’s voice shook as she drove, emotions running high.“Who knows with her. In her world, she’s always the center of gravity. Once she’s worked up, there’s nothing she won’t do,” Heidi said, analyzing as she spoke. “She’s not even short on money. Why would she rob or extort anyone? Has she gone mad?” “And how would she pull that off alone? I’d bet Dad was involved too.”Fiona exhaled slowly, the car filling with a heavy silence. She kept her eyes on the road, her face clouded, heading for the Nova City Police Department.Half an hour later, she pulled up at the station. The two of them hurried inside.It was after hours, but in a place like this, overtime and late-night cases were nothing unusual.“Excuse me, I’m family of Maria Long. Which one is Captain Christopher?” Fiona asked a policewoman as soon as she stepp

“Captain Christopher, I’m done with what I had to do. I can give my statement now,” Charles Martin said as he approached.“Let’s go. I’ll handle this myself,” Captain Christopher replied, taking the lead. Charles fell in behind him.Moments later, they stepped into an interview room and got to work.Time ticked by, and afternoon deepened into evening.Around six, Fiona returned home after a long day. She sank onto the sofa, feeling her exhaustion finally begin to ease.“How’s Mr. Wilson?” she asked casually when Heidi came out of her room.“Much better—surprisingly fast. He’s not like most people,” Heidi said, a hint of admiration in her tone.She poured herself a glass of water, then filled one for Fiona as well.“You still haven’t told me how he got hurt,” Fiona said, sipping her water.“It was just a sparring match,” Heidi replied. “He’s good with his hands, as you know. He was exchanging moves with someone and got injured. That’s about it.” “If you want details, ask him yourse

“I… we…” Maria Long stammered, at a loss for words.“Save it for the station. Take them away.” Captain Christopher gestured to his men. They understood at once, snapped handcuffs onto the pair, and led them out.Maria Long kept hurling threats, but Captain Christopher didn’t so much as blink. Word about the Cooper family had spread far and wide; even if they hadn’t been directly involved, they’d heard enough.Never mind that Maria Long had nearly gotten old Mr. Cooper killed—setting that aside, the old man was hardly the unreasonable type.“Mr. Martin, we’ll need you to come in and give a statement,” Captain Christopher said to Charles Martin.“Fine, but I need to check on my cousin at the hospital first.” “Whether she’s close family or not, I was the one who called her here. I have to take responsibility—otherwise I won’t be able to look my own relatives in the eye.”Charles Martin exhaled lightly.“That’s acceptable,” Christopher replied. “But don’t take too long.” “I’ll e

At Charles Martin’s words, the men finally let him go. He hurried to Peggy’s side and began a swift assessment.“Water. She needs water.”Once he’d gauged her condition, Charles spoke crisply.People scrambled to fetch it.“Charles… Charles Martin, I did hit her—but you hit me too. Let’s just call it even.”Maria Long’s face was swollen and bruised, waves of pain distorting her speech.“Charles, why not leave it at that? If not for our sake, at least for Fiona’s.”“We’ll move out immediately.”Sensing the tide turning, Stephen Cooper rushed to add his voice.“Even? How is this even?”“Save it for the police. The Cooper family may be a great house in Nova City, but this is wanton cruelty—you’re criminals.”“I don’t owe anyone that courtesy.”“Peggy came here at my behest. I am responsible for her. I’m no saint, but I always settle my debts.”Charles actually let out a short, incredulous laugh.“Charles Martin, you say we beat her and that makes it true? What evidence do you have?”Mari
