"Brother-in-law, say what you just said again," Heidi couldn't believe her ears.

"Not an elementary school teacher, a teacher at Nova University," Joseph repeated his words once more.

"No, brother-in-law, you're not joking, are you? Nova University is the nation's top institution. The teachers and professors here must at least have a doctoral degree or something. Even the cleaning aunties have bachelor's degrees."

"Brother-in-law, your friend must be messing with you, right?" Heidi found it hard to believe.

"It's definitely not a joke. At first, I also felt that I might not be qualified to be a teacher at Nova University, but in the past couple of days, I've remembered some things."

"It seems my educational background is quite high," Joseph said with a smile, calmly.

"No, brother-in-law, what is your educational background?"

"You've even forgotten your own educational background. I give up."

"However, you're only twenty-five years old this year. You got married to my sister when you w

    After sending the message, Heidi stretched her arms and took off her clothes, revealing her stunning figure, and walked into the bathroom.At this moment, Joseph had just finished showering, his upper body still bare. Over the years, he had persisted in exercising every day. Although the amount of exercise was not very large, his regular lifestyle and scientific training had given him an excellent physique. With eight-pack abs and an inverted triangle-shaped body, his build was of the lean and muscular type, making it difficult to tell he had such a great figure when clothed.He wiped his hair and was about to return to his room. However, at this moment, a sudden flash of light came from the direction of Alice's room, accompanied by a "click!" sound of a camera shutter.Joseph instinctively turned his head and saw Alice shrink back into her room like a rabbit and immediately close the door. Joseph chuckled helplessly. Was this girl foolish? She even forgot to turn off the camera flash

    "Ahem, don't joke around. You're taking a bath. What video call? Don't mess around," Joseph choked badly. Although he knew Heidi was just teasing him, he still felt a bit embarrassed."What's there to be afraid of? I'm soaking in the bathtub. You won't see anything. Even if you do see something, so what? Brother-in-law is not an outsider," Heidi directly sent a voice message, sounding completely nonchalant."Ahem, that's still not okay. Men and women are different," upon hearing Heidi's bold words, Joseph instantly felt awkward. This girl's way of thinking was too bizarre.Does this matter even differentiate between insiders and outsiders? Even if she's not an outsider, he can't just look casually. Joseph is a person with very traditional values.However, just as Joseph was at a loss for words, Heidi directly made a video call. Joseph was in a dilemma. Should he hang up or not? In the end, after an inner struggle and under strong moral constraints, he chose to hang up."Don't mess aro

    "I... I was just using a metaphor. I'm your second uncle. Is this how you talk to me?" Hugh Cooper was stunned for a moment, unable to respond."If you don't know anything, just shut up, okay?" Fiona was quite disdainful."Fiona, my father is your second uncle, after all. You're talking to him like this. With such disrespect for your elders, I guess you don't respect Grandma in your heart either," Ryan Cooper spoke up."I don't want to waste my breath on you. If you want to investigate my character, you can do it in private.""Grandma, I just want to ask you one thing. Did you call me here to investigate my character too?" Fiona looked at the old lady and asked."Hugh, and you too, Ryan Cooper, did I let you speak? You're so eager to talk. Do you have any good solutions to solve the family's current predicament? If so, I'll let you talk all you want," the old lady tapped her cane on the ground, her expression very serious.Hearing this, Hugh Cooper and Ryan Cooper opened their mouths

    When the two entered a room, a doctor had just finished examining the old master's body."Dr. Morales, is there anything wrong with the old man's body today?" the old lady asked casually."Old Madam, Old Mr. Cooper's body is still the same. His bodily functions are as active as usual, but he just won't wake up.""Based on his physical condition, he shouldn't be in a coma, but he has been maintaining this state, which makes me feel helpless.""In my thirty years of practicing medicine, I have never seen such a situation," Dr. Morales said with a wry smile."Thank you, Dr. Morales. You can go and rest. My granddaughter is here to see the old man," the old lady had already gotten used to the doctor's words.Hearing this, Dr. Morales bid farewell and left with his assistant."Grandma, I want to talk to Grandpa alone for a bit," after the doctor left, Fiona said to the old lady."Alright.""You all can leave too. It's enough to have the young miss here," the old lady looked at the servants

    "Ahem... You girl, don't be like this to others. You've grown up, not a little girl anymore. Men and women are different," Joseph's face turned red, feeling a bit embarrassed. Alice was already eighteen years old. Although slightly inexperienced, she had developed in all the right places. He didn't expect her figure to be so sexy."Of course. I'm not stupid. I'm only like this to Joseph. Joseph is not an outsider. What do I have that I can't show Joseph?" Alice chuckled. Seeing Joseph's awkward appearance, she found it a bit amusing."Didn't you say it was at noon before? Why did the time change?" Joseph purposely changed the subject. He was worried that if they continued talking, something he couldn't control might happen between them."Ah? That's because Principal Geoffrey Harris is going to receive a returnee with a doctorate. I heard that the returnee has many research achievements and has published many papers in famous international journals.""Nova University has always placed

    What kind of person was the young lady, and who among those who could be friends with her was a simple person?"It's okay. We're just ordinary friends," the guard's reaction made Joseph feel it was a bit exaggerated."Well, I won't disturb you then. I still have to be on duty. If you have any needs, just tell me," the guard said, nodding and bowing."Alright, thank you," Joseph said very politely."No need to thank me. It's what we should do," the guard nodded and left, looking very respectful."The young lady is a good person, and the friends she makes are of such high caliber. If it were other rich people, would they be so polite to us ordinary folks?" the guard returned to the security booth, muttering.A few minutes later, several luxury cars suddenly drove over. The guard hurried out to greet them.The window of the leading car rolled down, revealing an extremely beautiful woman wearing sunglasses."I'm Fiona Cooper from the Cooper Group. I have some business with your chairman,

    "Old Mr. Morgan, you overthink. I didn't mean that. The Cooper family and I have long had nothing to do with each other. If I interfere in the Cooper family's affairs, wouldn't that be meddling?" Joseph said with a wry smile."Indeed, Mr. Wilson's mind is still very clear," Blake Morgan chuckled."Well, Old Mr. Morgan, please don't call me Mr. Wilson anymore. It sounds too awkward. You have helped me a lot and are my elder in terms of seniority. Just call me by my name," Joseph started the car and said with a faint smile."Although your master and I can be considered friends, in the end, he did me a favor. Even in terms of status, I can't be on equal footing with him. Calling you Mr. is not only a sign of respect for you but also for your master," Blake Morgan thought for a moment, looking very serious."When my master was alive, he didn't like to fuss over these things. In this regard, I take after my master. Just call me Joseph," Joseph continued."Since that's the case, I won't dec

    After Blake Morgan left, Fiona was still waiting in the first-floor lobby. The receptionist who said she was going to inform them had not returned."Excuse me, you said you were going to inform the chairman's office. Why hasn't there been a response for so long?" Fiona couldn't help asking again."Miss Cooper, the chairman may be in a meeting. My colleague should be waiting upstairs. Please be patient," the receptionist said with a professional fake smile.The Morgan Group was a large enterprise. Even the receptionists were very professional."May be? Should be? It's been half an hour. When I came before, why didn't it take so long to inform?" Fiona looked impatient, but she had no choice. She was here to ask for a favor.Although the Cooper family was one of the top families in Nova City, they had only risen in recent years. Their foundation was unstable, and their heritage was insufficient.In front of a behemoth like the Morgan Group, they still had to be humble."Miss Cooper, the

    While Mason Alvarez was drowning in embarrassment, Joseph sat at his desk, utterly unfazed, leisurely flipping through documents and browsing references on his computer, as though the chaos around him had nothing to do with him.The sight of his calm demeanor only fueled Mason's frustration.Why was she the one being grilled by Brady Rogers and Felix Baker, while this infuriating man got to sit there, completely untouched by the storm?Fueled by indignation, she abruptly lifted her foot and stomped hard on Joseph’s.“Ouch!”Joseph yelped in pain, turning to her in disbelief.“Professor Alvarez, what the hell?! Why’d you step on my foot?”“Oh, sorry. Totally an accident.”Mason shot him a glare that said otherwise. Joseph was left speechless.“Professor Alvarez, you still haven’t answered Professor Baker’s question.”Brady Rogers reminded her, ever so helpfully.Mason nearly choked. Brady, who usually came off as the quiet one, was now joining the teasing squad? The world had truly gon

    The moment Joseph opened the school forum, his screen was flooded with posts about him. Nearly every trending thread pinned at the top was somehow related to him.“Youngest professor cracks a complex medical case!” “Professor Martin’s bet with Professor Wilson—will he really bow and apologize?” “Anyone got Professor Martin’s number? I want to give him a piece of my mind.” “If Professor Martin doesn’t keep his word, no one will take his class ever again.” …Every corner of the forum was plastered with threads, all revolving around Joseph and Charles Martin.He casually tapped into the post asking for Martin’s phone number. A quick glance confirmed his expectations—users had already dug up more than just his number. His home address was exposed too.The replies were brutal.“Looks like Professor Martin’s getting digitally lynched.”Joseph muttered under his breath. Martin probably never imagined his private life would be stripped bare and paraded so shamelessly on the school forum.

    "Seven times a week should be fine. Any more than that, and it might be pushing it. Just pace yourself." Joseph said casually. "Seven times a week? That much? Even at my peak, I couldn’t manage that!" Mason Morgan was utterly stunned. Joseph cast him a knowing glance. "Sounds like Uncle Mason wasn’t all that strong to begin with." "You little brat, what nonsense are you spouting now?!" Mason instantly bristled. "Just hurry up and finish writing that prescription. Less talking, more working!" Joseph smirked but didn’t argue. He simply continued writing with quiet focus. One check’s backside wasn’t enough—he had to use a second one to finish. After about twenty minutes, he finally put down his pen. "This one is the prescription, and the other contains the medical instructions. Follow them precisely, and you’ll be fine." Joseph handed both checks to Mason Morgan. Mason scanned them, recognizing a few of the ingredients but not fully understanding their effects. After all, he

    "Well, what do you think?" "If that old doctor were more skilled than me, you wouldn’t be sitting here talking to me right now. His prescription clearly didn’t meet your expectations." "That’s why you came to me—hoping I could offer a better solution." Joseph’s words were sharp and precise. Mason Morgan sighed. "That’s true." "But if even that old doctor couldn’t fully resolve my issue, are you sure you can? He seemed pretty capable." His brows furrowed in concern—after all, this was a matter that would affect the rest of his life. He couldn’t afford to take it lightly. "The old doctor does have some skill," Joseph admitted calmly, "but not much." Mason scoffed. "You sure don’t lack confidence, kid." "But talk is cheap. I still don’t know how skilled you really are. You say all the right things, but when it comes down to actual treatment, can you really deliver?" Joseph smirked. "I don’t even need to see it to know what prescription he gave you." "Got a pen and paper? Hand

    Joseph took a slow sip of his lemon water, placing the glass back on the table with a composed smile. His unhurried demeanor only served to irritate Mason Morgan. "Kid, you’ve got nothing, huh? I knew you were just full of hot air!" "But I get it. You’re trained in traditional medicine—you don’t understand modern medical practices, so you have no clue how Western medicine would treat my condition." Mason assumed Joseph’s calmness was just a stalling tactic. "Uncle Mason, I’m well-versed in traditional Chinese medicine, but I also have a solid grasp of modern medicine." "To put it plainly, I’ve mastered both worlds, East and West, past and present. In the field of andrology, my mentor was known as the ‘Saint of Men’s Health.’" "I inherited all his teachings, but I didn’t just stop there—I refined and innovated upon them. As a result, I earned the title ‘Little Saint of Men’s Health.’" "And let’s be clear—the ‘Little’ in my title isn’t because I’m inferior to my master. It’s sim

    Under Mason Alvarez’s relentless teasing, Alice could do nothing but yelp and struggle. "You’re awful! You’re the worst! Let me go—I surrender! I won’t say anything about you again, I swear! Please, have mercy!" She begged for a while before Mason Alvarez finally relented. By then, Alice was thoroughly disheveled, her breathing uneven as she lay sprawled out on the bed, utterly spent. "Now do you understand the power of your senior?" Mason grinned triumphantly. "You’re nothing but a shameless rogue!" Alice huffed. "Oh? Care to repeat that?" Mason’s eyes narrowed in mock threat. Alice immediately turned her head away, pouting but clearly backing down. "Still, Wilson sure is one lucky man," Mason mused as she gave Alice a once-over. "You look so petite, but who would’ve thought you had such a killer figure?" Alice shot her a glare. "You’re not exactly lacking yourself! You think you were the only one taking advantage just now? I got my fair share too!" Mason chuckled. "Oh? Is

    "Oh, stop it! Don’t ask me that—you’re so shameless!" Alice covered her face, utterly embarrassed. Every time Mason Alvarez probed her with these kinds of questions, her cheeks would burn as if set ablaze. "Oh, please! You’ve been living together for so long—who would believe that nothing has happened between you two?" Mason teased with a mischievous grin. "It’s true! Joseph said he wants to wait for the right moment," Alice murmured, her voice growing softer as she buried her face deeper into her hands. "Tsk tsk, waiting for a special moment? Who would’ve thought Wilson was such a traditional man? He really doesn’t seem the type," Mason mused, clearly surprised. "Honestly, I think it’s kind of sweet," Alice said in a hushed tone. Mason draped an arm around Alice’s shoulders, her voice laced with playful mischief. "Listen, little one, a man only truly belongs to you once he’s in your grasp—understand?" Alice blinked in confusion. "What do you mean by that, Mason?" "It’s simpl

    "So, how do you think my conversation with him went?" Felix Baker smiled, throwing the question back at Mason Alvarez."Looks like it went pretty well—you've got a smile on your face," Mason replied casually.Felix chuckled. "It was quite enjoyable, actually. You’ve heard about all the mess Charles Martin has gotten himself into, right? Well, Director Myers' opinion of him has definitely taken a nosedive." He lowered his voice slightly—after all, discussing other professors in public wasn’t exactly appropriate.Mason’s eyes lit up. "So that means I don’t have to go on that blind date with Charles Martin anymore?" "Of course not! What’s so great about him anyway? He’s just a fool. Professor Wilson is leagues ahead of him." Felix spoke with sincerity."That’s a relief! Thanks, Professor. This whole thing had been stressing me out." Mason sighed in genuine gratitude.Felix waved it off. "No need to thank me; it was nothing. Anyway, I’m off to grab some food—you go ahead with whatever

    "Thank you, Alice. In that case, I won’t stand on ceremony," Mason Alvarez said with a smile. Joseph had yet to pick up his chopsticks, but she had already started eating, fully embodying the meaning of being unreserved.Joseph took a bite as well, nodding slightly in approval, offering Alice generous praise for her cooking. There was no denying it—her culinary skills had improved remarkably. "Oh, by the way, your dad called me earlier. He wants to see me after lunch," Joseph mentioned casually as he ate. "My dad? What does he want with you?" Alice asked, surprised. "Tsk, tsk, tsk. Does this mean you two have already met the parents? When’s the wedding? And when can I expect to hold your baby?" Mason Alvarez teased, a playful smirk on her face. Though she joked, there was a hint of envy in her heart—perhaps even a trace of melancholy. Alice was only eighteen, yet she had already introduced her boyfriend to her father. And what about herself? Why was it that she could never seem
