"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.<

"Brother-in-law, I’m heading out. I’m going to Grandma’s today to mooch a meal and maybe gather some information about her side of the family." "Honestly, I didn’t want to go so early, but the food at home is unbearable. Brother-in-law, I miss your cooking so much. I even dream of you when I sleep." Joseph chuckled at her dramatic complaint and replied: "Go and check things out, then. While you’re there, try to ask about your grandfather. You can casually bring up my willingness to treat him." "But remember, you need to be tactful. Lead the conversation carefully and gradually change her opinion of me. Build her trust little by little. Only then can I earn her support. Do you understand what I mean?" He typed quickly, sending the message without hesitation. Moments later, Heidi replied with a voice message. Her soft, sweet voice carried a hint of flirtation, sending an involuntary shiver down his spine. "Got it, brother-in-law! I’m not stupid. Why are you so naggy?" Joseph cou

"How about this—let’s skip lunch since we just had breakfast. We can eat out around three instead," Alice suggested, pausing to think. "Let’s go to the amusement park first. I want to ride roller coasters, the drop tower, the Ferris wheel… there’s so much I want to do! It’s been ages since I’ve gone out to play." She began counting off her desired activities on her fingers, her tone completely serious. "Why are they all such thrilling rides?" Joseph chuckled softly. "What? Are you scared?" Alice raised an eyebrow, smirking mischievously. "Not at all. You can do whatever you like—I’ll go along with it," Joseph replied calmly. "Great! I’ll go change now. Wait for me," Alice said, hopping up and heading to her room. It wasn’t long before she returned, stepping out with a twirl in front of Joseph. "Joseph, how do I look in this outfit? Isn’t it cute?" She smiled brightly. Joseph glanced her over. "What kind of outfit is this? It’s cute and quite unique," he remarked. "It’s L

The people still waiting in line looked on with envy, their thoughts unanimous: Why couldn’t something like that happen to me? Three thousand dollars—a sum that, for many, equaled a month’s salary—was handed over so easily. "You’re really something," Joseph remarked, watching Alice as she stood in line. His tone was half-amazed, half-admiring. "It’s just a fair trade!" Alice stuck out her tongue playfully, flashing him a cheeky grin.Thanks to Alice’s bold maneuvering, the two of them managed to buy their tickets in under ten minutes. Not only that, but Alice’s extravagance didn’t end there—she purchased tickets for almost every major attraction in the park. Watching her spend money so carelessly, Joseph couldn’t help but feel a fleeting thought cross his mind: Being a kept man doesn’t seem so bad after all."Let’s go! Come on!" Alice grabbed Joseph’s hand and led him into the amusement park, her excitement palpable.Meanwhile, the young man who had just pocketed $3,000 lingered

"Don’t fall for it, man. That air rifle can’t even reach balloon number 99. I tried for the Barbie doll on balloon 23 and spent $300 without hitting it. I could’ve bought three Barbies for that price!" "You think $300 is bad? I spent $700 trying to win the limited-edition Lego set on balloon 42 and still didn’t get it. I’m sick just thinking about it!""This booth is a total scam. Don’t waste your money!" The surrounding crowd chimed in, offering Joseph well-meaning advice to walk away.Joseph simply smiled. He had already observed others playing and quickly deduced that while the rifle’s accuracy left much to be desired, its range was sufficient. For someone without proper training, hitting the target was nearly impossible—but for him, it was another story. "Mind your business! You’re just bitter because you lack skill!" The owner snapped at the onlookers, clearly irritated by their comments."Joseph, maybe we should forget it. It’s not about the money—I just don’t want you to ge

"Uh… Mother!"Hugh Cooper called out just as the old lady turned to leave."Don’t waste your breath on me. Once your father has recovered, if you have any requests, take them up with him.""Now that he’s awake, I no longer concern myself with family affairs. I was never more than the one who cooked his meals, brewed his tea, tended to the garden, and trimmed the hedges. That was my role before, and it will remain my role in the future."The old lady’s refusal was absolute."Mother, wait! I have something to say."Bernard quickly called after her. Upon hearing his voice, the old lady’s expression grew even more displeased."If this is about control over the family assets, then save your breath. I’ve already said—I no longer involve myself in such matters."She reiterated firmly."No, Mother, it’s something else."Bernard forced a smile, trying to appear earnest."Then speak quickly. I don’t have time to waste on your scheming."The old lady’s tone was cold and impatient."Mother, it's

"Brother-in-law, what’s up? Why all the secrecy?"Heidi asked in a hushed voice.Joseph didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he leaned in and whispered something into her ear. Heidi nodded repeatedly in response.As they spoke, Fiona entered the room.The moment she stepped in, her eyes landed on Joseph and Heidi, who were speaking in hushed tones.She glanced at them briefly before quickly averting her gaze and walking over to old Mr. Cooper.Moments later, Joseph and Heidi finished their conversation, and Joseph walked back."Old Mr. Cooper, Mr. Morgan and I will take our leave now. Please rest well. If anything happens, have Heidi call me."Joseph gave a final word of caution, then exchanged a few words with the elderly lady before making his way out with Blake Morgan.The old lady watched Joseph’s departing figure, her eyes filled with regret and deep emotion."Fiona, my dear granddaughter, tell me—what was so wrong with him?""When it mattered most, he stepped up.

"Money? Do you think I lack money right now?""I work at Nova University, earning at least six figures a month, with the highest level of salary and benefits.""Even if my salary weren’t enough, my various research paper royalties bring in a substantial amount every month.""And if, one day, I decided I didn’t want to work anymore, the Morgan family would still shower me with wealth. And you think you can talk to me about money?""I have only one answer to your request—no amount of money can buy my willingness."Joseph cast a cold glance at Fiona. Was this woman out of her mind? At a time like this, she actually thought she could buy him off with money?Did she really believe that just because she had some wealth, she could do whatever she pleased?Fiona lowered her head at his words, remaining silent, utterly subdued.If this were the past, she would never have imagined that Joseph would dare to speak to her like this."I'm sorry. But... if anything does happen, please... save Grandp

Blake Morgan had likely been grinning ear to ear the moment he learned of Joseph’s expulsion from the Cooper family. He had probably even laughed in his sleep.Ungrateful descendants. Short-sighted fools. Arrogant and blind.Inwardly, old Mr. Cooper cursed Stephen Cooper and Maria Long a thousand times over.If those two were standing before him now, he wouldn’t hesitate to slap each of them across the face.Especially Maria Long—she was the one who held sway over the household. The divorce between Joseph and Fiona? There was no doubt in his mind—she had orchestrated the entire thing."Hahaha… Old Mr. Cooper, you must be joking. Your family may have cast Joseph aside, but we in the Morgan family certainly won’t! In our home, Joseph is treated with the highest regard.""A place to stay? That’s nothing. I could gift him several villas if he wanted. Money is trivial—but he refuses to accept my generosity.""In my household, nothing is off-limits to Joseph—not even my granddaughter. Of co

Seeing that Bruce Cooper’s condition had stabilized, Joseph carefully removed the remaining silver needles from his body. Bruce Cooper could already feel the improvement. Just moments ago, he had felt suffocated, as if something was blocking his airways. Had he not been able to release that tension, he feared he would not have survived the ordeal. But thanks to Joseph’s intervention, the breath he had been struggling to catch finally eased. There was no denying it—Joseph, like his master before him, was a physician of the highest caliber, a man of extraordinary skill. It was a pity that such a man, such a brilliant healer, would no longer have anything to do with the Cooper family. "You have my deepest gratitude, Joseph." Old Mr. Cooper expressed his appreciation once more. "You’re too kind, sir. This is simply my duty." "Heidi, fetch some paper, ink, and a brush. I’ll write a prescription for your grandfather." Now that his work was nearly done, Joseph turned to Heidi. "Go

"Years ago, he confided in me—he knew the Cooper family’s direct and collateral branches fought fiercely among themselves. But I never imagined you’d be so mad that you’d turn on your own kin. The old man had barely drawn his first breath after waking up, and you immediately hit him with the news that everything he built has been reduced to ruins." "If I were in his shoes, I wouldn’t just cough up blood. I’d be dead on the spot." Blake Morgan sneered, his words cutting through the air like a blade. "I…" Fiona opened her mouth to explain, but Blake Morgan cut her off before she could utter another word. "Enough. I’m not here to agitate him. I came for an important discussion with old Mr. Cooper and Joseph." Without sparing Fiona another glance, Blake Morgan bypassed her entirely, leading his entourage straight into the house. The servants hesitated, but without Fiona’s explicit orders—and given the intimidating presence of the bodyguards—they dared not intervene. Inside the gra

"Dr. Martin, you may leave now. Or are you waiting for the old man to break your legs?" The matriarch’s voice was cold as she glanced at Charles Martin, who stood frozen in place. "Uh… oh! Yes, of course! I’ll leave now!" Charles Martin stammered, snapping back to reality. He hurriedly prepared to leave. "Wait a moment, Dr. Martin." Richard Anderson suddenly called out. Charles Martin hesitated, turning back in confusion. He didn’t recall having any conflict with Richard Anderson. "Dr. Martin, I’m Mr. Anderson from Nova City’s Health Bureau. Based on your actions today, I have serious doubts about your medical ethics and professional integrity. We will launch an investigation and consider revoking your medical license." Richard Anderson’s voice was stern. "I—" Charles Martin opened his mouth but couldn’t find the words to defend himself. "You may leave now. If you have anything to say, take it up with the Health Bureau." Richard Anderson dismissed him coldly. Charles Mart

"Stop crying. Crying won’t solve anything. I need silence." Joseph’s voice was sharp, his patience worn thin by the sobbing. He cast a cold glance at Fiona, his tone carrying unmistakable authority. Fiona flinched at his words, quickly wiping her tears away. She dared not make another sound, merely standing aside, watching in silence. "Brother-in-law, if there’s anything you need me to do, just say the word." Heidi’s face was tense, but she remained composed compared to Fiona. Although old Mr. Cooper had coughed up a significant amount of blood, Heidi firmly believed that Joseph would have a way to handle it. "Find a fan—one that can be used manually. The old man needs air." Joseph issued his instructions with precision. "Got it." Without hesitation, Heidi hurried off to complete the task. "Dr. Wilson, old Mr. Cooper’s condition seems to be caused by an acute surge of blood pressure due to emotional distress. Is there anything we can do to assist?" Philip Anderson stepped f

But she quickly pushed aside her thoughts, shifting her full attention back to her grandfather.Under Joseph's careful guidance, the old man obediently swished the water in his mouth and spat it out. He repeated this process over a dozen times until all traces of the dark blood had been cleansed from his lips."Heidi, give him some water to drink," Joseph instructed.Seeing the old man’s condition gradually improving, Heidi carefully followed Joseph's directions, helping him sip the warm water.The old man drank slowly at first, his movements deliberate. But eventually, he finished the entire bowl.A subtle change took place.His once-dull eyes grew clearer, sharper—even tinged with something akin to authority."Cough… cough… Life is but a fleeting moment, like a white horse passing through a gap. Three years… It feels like I’ve just awoken from a long dream."His voice, though weak, carried a profound depth. He turned his gaze to Joseph, his expression warm with gratitude."My grands
