The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 151
"Although I’ve never paid much attention to the Cooper family’s affairs, it’s clear to me that your sister doesn’t have absolute control over the family. She’s still too young, lacking in both the means and the authority to truly dominate the Cooper family. Despite all she’s done for the family over the years, she still relies heavily on your grandmother’s prestige to maintain her position." "Am I wrong about any of this?" Joseph asked slowly. "Brother-in-law, for someone who seems indifferent to everything, you know the Cooper family far too well," Heidi said with a sigh. "You’re absolutely right, especially now. Morgan Group has withdrawn from many of our projects recently, and the Cooper family’s profits have been plummeting." "Those in the family who have been waiting for an opportunity won’t let my sister off the hook so easily. She’s practically a clay idol barely crossing the river herself." Heidi’s tone carried a hint of helplessness. "That’s why I don’t recommend involv

"The two bells are only part of the reason I married your sister. There are other factors as well," Joseph began, his voice calm yet deliberate. "My master and your grandfather struck additional deals, agreements that go beyond what I’ve told you. But the most important reason lies in my past. That, above all, is what led to this marriage." "And what exactly is that reason?" Heidi asked, her curiosity piqued. "I… forgot," Joseph said with a wry smile. "You forgot? How could you forget the most important reason? Brother-in-law, your selective memory is incredible. You remember everything unimportant and forget the key things," Heidi teased, shaking her head in exasperation. "I can’t explain it either," Joseph replied, his tone tinged with helplessness. "My master has abilities that defy normal understanding. The fact that I’ve forgotten certain things—it’s all part of his plan." "Why would he do that? Making you forget so much… it’s just too strange," Heidi said, her frustration

The proximity, combined with the intoxicating fragrance of her body, overwhelmed Joseph’s senses. He felt his blood surge, his pulse quickening as an uncontrollable heat spread through him. It wasn’t just Alice’s teasing words—it was the subtle, almost imperceptible mix of her voice, her scent, and the warmth of her body pressed against his. It ignited something deep within him, a fire he struggled desperately to contain."What smell? I have no idea what you’re talking about!" Joseph’s face flushed a deep red as he stammered, utterly flustered. He struggled to suppress the surge of desire coursing through him, but it was a losing battle. "Ugh, obviously I mean body fragrance! Every woman has her own unique scent. Don’t tell me you can’t smell it," Alice teased, blinking her bright eyes at him mischievously, clearly intent on prolonging his discomfort. "It’s… fine, I guess," Joseph exhaled slowly, trying his best to sound composed. "Fine? Do you like it, though?" Alice leaned in c

"If you want to go, I’ll go with you," Joseph said, smiling warmly. "Really?" Alice’s eyes lit up with delight. "Of course. Why would I lie about something like that? I don’t have any plans for Saturday, and staying home all day isn’t much fun either. A little outing sounds nice," Joseph said with a nod. "Great! It’s settled, then!" Alice declared happily, clapping her hands as if sealing the deal. "I’m almost done eating. Let me know when you’re ready, and I’ll go pack my things. We can head to school after that," Alice said as she finished her breakfast and stood up. "Oh, and don’t worry about picking me up after class. I’ll find my own way back," she added before heading to her room. "Alright. I’ll have lunch ready when you get home," Joseph replied. "Thank you, Joseph! It’s so nice having you around. I get to eat delicious food every day!" Alice said with a giggle before retreating to her room, her face glowing with happiness. Joseph quickly finished his own breakfast, tid

"I thought he was just being polite when he mentioned it, but he actually bought it for me!" "And it’s the top-of-the-line flagship model! I’ve wanted this phone for so long but could never justify spending the money!" Her face lit up with unrestrained joy as she admired her new phone. After a moment, she decided to take a few pictures and send them to Joseph. "Brother-in-law, did you buy this? 【Love You.jpg】" She sent the message, complete with a playful emoji. But after waiting for a while, there was no response. "Ugh, that jerk! He sends me such an expensive gift but doesn’t even bother replying to my message." Heidi pouted, grumbling under her breath. Unable to wait any longer, she dialed his number. The phone rang for several seconds before Joseph finally answered. At that moment, he had just stepped out of his car and was about to enter his house. "Hello? Heidi? What’s up?" Joseph asked casually. "Brother-in-law, I got the package! It’s amazing—I love it so much!" Heidi

"Technically, it’s a medicinal soup. A couple of days ago, I gave my ex-wife’s younger sister a prescription for a strong medicine. The side effects make her body weak, so this soup should help alleviate that weakness," Joseph explained patiently. "Oh? So it’s for your little sister-in-law? You’re really good to her," Alice said, wrinkling her nose slightly, her tone laced with a hint of jealousy. "It’s not about being good or bad. She’s taken care of me in her own way over the years. You know me—I always repay kindness when I can," Joseph said with a faint smile. "Fine. If even you say she’s a good person, then I suppose I won’t be jealous," Alice said, sitting down at the dining table and resting her chin on her hands, her expression relaxed. "She’s alright. A bit mischievous at times, but overall, not bad," Joseph replied nonchalantly. "Alright, then. For her past kindness to you, I’ll let it slide," Alice said with an exaggeratedly serious nod. "Did I say you were jealous? Y

Joseph chuckled as he unwrapped the food.“Which brother-in-law gave it to you?”He teased.“I only have one, silly!” Heidi retorted playfully. “That tall, handsome, charming older man named Joseph Wilson! You know him?”Feigning innocence, she batted her lashes and asked,“Excuse me, handsome, what’s your name?”“Joseph Wilson,” he replied casually.“What a coincidence! You have the same name as my brother-in-law!”She grinned mischievously.“Alright, stop fooling around and eat. I have to head back to the office soon,” Joseph said with a helpless smile.“Let me see what goodies you brought!”Heidi eagerly opened the containers. “Wow, this smells amazing! Is this bone broth? Look at the m

“Of course not! Because I’ve never had a boyfriend or kissed anyone either. My first kiss is still safe and sound!”She declared it with a sense of pride.“Uh… why are you telling me this?”Joseph asked cautiously, starting to sense that something wasn’t quite right.Leaning in closer, Heidi’s voice dropped to a teasing whisper.“Brother-in-law, do you want to experience a girl’s first kiss?”Joseph’s face turned crimson, and he quickly stood up, flustered.“This… this isn’t appropriate! If your sister finds out, she’ll kill you! Let’s just forget this ever happened. I need to get back to the office.”Heidi, however, grabbed the collar of his shirt with surprising strength, pulling him back down. Their faces were now mere inches apart.<

"Even from a short distance, you can catch a whiff of a strange, foul mixture of odors. It’s obvious this man is addicted to debauchery, steeped in nightlife excess. He’s riddled with various venereal diseases—he's utterly filthy.""So, it's best to stay as far away from people like him as possible. Many diseases are contagious," Joseph said with a faint smile."My grandfather once took me to dinner with his father, and he was there too. Was I in danger back then?" Alice asked, a flicker of fear crossing her face."It's not that serious. Most diseases of that nature require intimate contact to spread. A shared meal isn't enough. You’re perfectly healthy—there’s nothing to worry about.""But keeping your distance is still wise," Joseph added reassuringly."Phew, that's a relief," Alice exhaled deeply."Joseph, by what you’re saying, Raymond Kim doesn't have long to live," Alice said, half-joking but with a trace of genuine concern."Not necessarily that he'll die soon, but he’l

Even before the final bell, Joseph was already sitting in his car, waiting patiently for Alice. He sat quietly, glancing idly into the left rearview mirror—only to spot a few familiar figures reflected within.Seeing the situation, Joseph reached out and adjusted the rearview mirror, giving himself a clearer view of the people behind the car. At that moment, on the balcony of the First Teaching Building, a few students stood, their gazes cold and sharp, fixed on Joseph’s car.Joseph recognized them all. Leading the group was Raymond Kim, flanked by his ever-present sidekick—someone named Jonathan, if he recalled correctly. Another figure was Scrappy, a non-student who Joseph had once taught a painful lesson. University campuses were generally open spaces; unless someone behaved outrageously, outsiders wouldn't be barred entry.What surprised Joseph was the presence of Griffin Bailey, who had relentlessly pursued Heidi before. Yet, thinking it through, it made sense—both Griffin'

"What do you mean 'looks like'? That's clearly Mr. Wilson—my former brother-in-law, mind you!" After watching for a while, Heidi spoke with absolute certainty."Are you really that sure, Heidi?" A short-haired girl glanced at her, skeptical."Of course I am! I lived under the same roof with him for three years. I can recognize his speech patterns, his every little habit and gesture without even thinking. Even if there are many things about him that I don't fully understand, I'm too familiar with who he is. I can even recognize his scent the moment he gets close.""So yeah, I'm a hundred percent sure—that's my brother-in-law. Well... ex-brother-in-law," Heidi declared, her tone firm."Geez! Honestly, it sounds like those three years, Wilson wasn't married to your sister at all, but to you," Daphne teased, a strange feeling rising in her heart. The intimacy between Heidi and Joseph, the depth of her understanding of him, seemed almost excessive—far beyond what normal relatives or ev

"Hello? Uncle Mason? What’s the matter?"Joseph answered the call, taking the initiative to speak first."My dear future son-in-law, are you alone right now?"Mason Morgan’s voice came through the line, sounding a little secretive."Uh, yeah. I’m the only one in the office at the moment. Everyone else is off—some are teaching, some are in the lab, and others are running errands."Joseph glanced around before replying."Good, that’s perfect. I’ve got a rather private question for you."Mason sounded visibly relieved."Sure, Uncle Mason. Ask whatever you want."Joseph blinked in surprise, but responded casually."Remember how you said my body would recover most of its function within three days?"Mason began cautiously."I did say something to that effect, yes."Joseph nodded, recalling the conversation."You definitely said it. So I want to ask—were you being serious?"Mason pressed."Of course I was serious. If it comes out of my mouth, it’s the truth. I don’t make empty promises.""B

"Mr. Wilson, about that request you made earlier—to compile my wife's medical records—I stayed up last night and got it all done."Brady Rogers cleared his throat, his tone unusually eager."Oh? That fast? Where are the documents? Let me take a look."Joseph was a bit surprised—he hadn’t expected Rogers to be so efficient."Right here.""Please have a look, Mr. Wilson."As he spoke, Brady lifted a thick stack of folders from beneath his desk."Just leave it on my table. I’ll go through it and let you know."Joseph glanced at the pile of medical records and CT scans. Even skimming it would take considerable time."Much appreciated, Mr. Wilson."Brady placed the documents in front of Joseph but didn’t make any move to leave."Professor Rogers, you don't have to wait here. Go ahead with your work—no need to tire yourself out."Joseph noticed him standing stiffly in front of his desk and tried to persuade him."It’s alright, Mr. Wilson. I’d rather wait. I’m... quite anxious, honestly."Br

Under the comment posted by the user with the James profile picture, a flood of inquisitive netizens gathered, all eager to uncover the identity of the man whose piano performance had touched their hearts so deeply.After keeping everyone in suspense long enough, the user finally revealed the answer. "I’m a student at Nova University. This gentleman is our teacher—Mr. Joseph Wilson. At least, I’m fairly certain it’s him." "Whoa, no wonder! Turns out he’s a big shot from Nova University’s Music Department. That explains the brilliance. He made Butterfly Lovers sound like a divine symphony. 'Today I heard him speak through the pipa, and it felt like celestial music piercing the soul.'" "Actually, just to clarify, Mr. Joseph isn't from the Music Department. He’s the youngest faculty member in the Traditional Medicine Department—just joined less than a month ago," James replied again. "I’m also a student at Nova University. The person in the video does resemble Mr. Wilson, but not ent

"He didn’t say much—just asked me to remind you. Said it’s something important, and that you should come alone," Heidi continued."Alright then. It's getting late, and I’ve got an early class tomorrow. I should get some rest," Joseph replied."Okay, sleep well. Good night, brother-in-law," Heidi said sweetly.After exchanging goodnights, they both hung up.---The next morning, Joseph and Alice arrived at the university early.Joseph didn’t even stop by his office—he went straight to the classroom.By the time he finished teaching and returned to the office, Mason Alvarez, Felix Baker, and Brady Rogers were already there.Mason was busy working, while Felix and Brady were huddled together, whispering and seemingly engrossed in some intriguing discovery.They didn’t even notice when Joseph walked in."Mr. Wilson, I came in early today and still didn’t see you. Didn’t you have a morning class?" Mason was the first to speak."Exactly. I went straight to the classroom and skipped the offi

"I'm a doctor. Of course I know what it is," Joseph replied, clearly exasperated."As long as you know. Mr. Wilson, don’t you think I’m being especially considerate?" Mason sounded rather smug."Considerate? You’re the one who's been corrupting Alice," Joseph retorted."Corrupting her? Come on, she’s an adult. Do you really think she needs me to teach her this stuff?""I simply did what neither of you had the nerve to do. I know you’re both too shy to take the first step, so I gave you a little nudge.""Alice is a good girl. You're not planning on getting wild without protection, are you?"Mason's voice carried a sly undertone."Professor Alvarez, I’m not some irresponsible guy. You think I'd cross the line like that? I haven’t even touched her."Joseph tried to defend himself."Exactly, you haven't touched her—that is crossing the line. Not touching her is one kind of reckless. Touching her without protection is another. Know what I mean?"Mason looked like a seasoned veteran in such

"What is it? Why do I have to go to your room to see it?"Joseph raised a brow, intrigued."Just go take a shower first, alright? You’ll see."She urged him again, her tone playful."...Alright then."Joseph found it odd but didn’t press. He turned and made his way to his room.Back in his room, Joseph quickly gathered his change of clothes and headed into the bathroom.Outside, Alice was still happily munching away at her late-night feast.Joseph was still curious about what Alice wanted to show him, but figured he might as well shower first.By the time he came out, towel-drying his hair, Alice had just about finished eating."So, what was that thing you wanted to show me?" Joseph asked casually."Carry me to my room first, and I’ll show you." Alice spread her arms toward him expectantly.Joseph could only sigh and walk over.The moment he was close, Alice wrapped her arms tightly around his neck and locked her legs around his waist like a koala, clinging to him with no intention
