"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

“What nonsense are you spouting? Everything I did was for your own good! Do you really think you’d have any future if you spent your life with that useless man?”Maria Long finally snapped back, unable to hold her tongue anymore.“Enough, Maria Long! You’re blind by choice!”“Your vision is so narrow, your outlook so limited. You’ll never admit you’re wrong, never acknowledge the truth. No wonder Grandfather saw right through you.”“From today onward, I’m moving back to the main house. You can do whatever you want. But once Grandfather recovers, it will be your turn to face judgment.”With that, Fiona turned on her heel and stormed off to her room to pack.She couldn’t stay in this house any longer. Living under the same roof with these two would drive her insane.She packed her things quickly, then grabbed her suitcase, got into her car, and drove away from the villa.However, she didn’t head straight to the Cooper family estate. Instead, she drove to the headquarters of the family’s

"Besides, it’s not like I did it on purpose."Maria Long’s voice was brash, completely unapologetic.Hearing those words, Fiona could no longer contain herself.Before, Maria Long had directed all her malice toward Joseph, and though Fiona had always found it unpleasant, she wasn’t personally affected.But now, Maria Long had turned that same venomous nature against the one person Fiona cared for the most—her grandfather.Only now did Fiona fully realize that her mother was not just unreasonable.She was cruel. Selfish. Malicious.She had crossed the most basic moral lines.For the first time, Fiona felt grateful that she had not been raised by her parents—that she had grown up under the guidance of her grandparents instead."Maria Long, have you said enough? Do you really think you’re in the right?"Fiona’s voice trembled with fury, her eyes reddening with emotion.How could someone commit such a terrible act and still speak such heartless words?"Wh-What do you mean I’m not right?"

"See? That’s exactly why I reminded you."Joseph spread his hands innocently."Reminded me? What do you mean? You were clearly taking advantage of me! And now you’re pretending to be all proper!""You… you don’t like this, do you? Do you think I’m not feminine enough?""No way! Now I have to hold onto you—let’s see what you do about it!"The more Heidi thought about it, the more it didn’t sit right with her. Without warning, she grabbed his arm again—this time holding on even tighter.Great. Now the soft sensation pressing against him was even more pronounced.This girl really didn’t see him as an outsider, did she?He had only meant to give her a kind reminder, yet she had somehow turned the tables on him."Why are you holding on so tightly? What if someone sees us?"Joseph’s face turned an even deeper shade of red as he spoke with embarrassment."So what? There’s no one around."Heidi remained unfazed, continuing to do as she pleased."There will be people in the kitchen."Joseph sa

"You’re free to choose any position within any of the Morgan family’s businesses or companies. You could also relocate to Metropolis City with Mason if you prefer."Blake took a moment to consider before speaking."Thank you, Chairman."Molly expressed her gratitude sincerely."Actually, there’s something else I’d like to ask…"Molly hesitated, as if debating whether to continue."Go ahead, ask whatever you need."Blake encouraged her readily."Does Miss Alice know about my relationship with her father?"Molly asked cautiously."She has always known.""Alice never opposed the two of you. You don’t need to worry. She’s always been mature and understanding of her father’s struggles."Blake answered truthfully."That’s a relief."Molly sighed in quiet relief upon hearing his words."If there’s nothing else, you can return to work. You don’t need to attend tomorrow night’s family dinner.""After all, in Joseph’s eyes, your position in this family is not yet official."Blake added."I unde

"Molly, I never said I was firing you."Blake took a sip of water, smiling as he spoke.Molly froze.For a moment, she didn’t quite process his words."Then… Chairman?"She struggled to find the right words."You’re overqualified to be my assistant. I’m assigning you to a more important position."Blake stated matter-of-factly."But why? Chairman, I’m fine where I am.""Is this because of Mason? Do you think my presence here is an eyesore?"Molly asked bluntly."No, you’re overthinking it.""Actually, I’ve known about your relationship for two years now. Of course, I don’t know exactly when it started.""So, I placed you by my side to see what kind of woman had caught Mason’s eye—nothing more."Blake’s voice was calm, as if he were simply stating an observation."So… everything was within your control all along.""But why didn’t you ever expose it?""A woman like me… I don’t deserve Mason. If our relationship became public, everyone would think I was reaching beyond my status.""Espec

"Going back just to argue with them is pointless."Heidi shook her head disapprovingly."Maybe. But I still want to go back. I need to ask her myself—why? Why would she go so far as to harm her own family?"Fiona’s brows furrowed, her expression solemn."It looks like staying in that house is no longer an option. The Greenfield Villa estate belongs to the family—it was only granted to us as a special reward from Grandfather.""Given the current situation, he’ll probably take it back. They’ll have to move back into one of the family’s standard three-story residences.""At least they’ll still have a place to stay—they won’t be left on the streets."Heidi mused, her tone carrying a hint of sentiment."To me, it doesn’t matter where I live."Fiona shook her head, her voice indifferent."It doesn’t matter to you, but what about our parents? Do you think they see it the same way? You know exactly what kind of people they are."Heidi scoffed, pursing her lips."It doesn’t matter what they th

"No, no, that’s not it at all. Everything I said was sincere. Heidi is a wonderful girl, it’s just..."Joseph hesitated, his expression conflicted."You don’t need to say it—I can more or less guess the reason myself,"the old master interjected."Has the Morgan family already proposed to you? And you’ve agreed to it, haven’t you?"His wise eyes gleamed with insight."Grandfather, to be honest, I haven’t formally accepted yet, but I will sooner or later."Joseph gave a sheepish smile, unwilling to hide the truth."That’s not a big issue.""Years ago, you were supposed to be engaged to Old Morgan’s granddaughter. It was only by a twist of fate that I intercepted you.""Of course, you can’t blame me for that. Your master and I had certain agreements, and for various reasons, you became my granddaughter’s husband instead.""Now, since my family failed to hold on to you, it’s only natural that Old Morgan would make his move.""But tell me this—if you can marry Old Morgan’s granddaughter,

"Grandfather, I brought you breakfast and lunch—both tailored for your recovery. Have some breakfast first. Afterward, I’ll check on you and perform an acupuncture session to help with your circulation."As Joseph spoke, he opened the food container he had brought along."You’ve been working hard, Joseph. The Cooper family truly owes you too much," the old master sighed, his voice laden with emotion."But don’t worry—I will find a way to make it up to you. Those who once looked down on you will one day pay the price for their arrogance."His words carried a deep weight."Grandpa, let me feed you," Heidi offered eagerly."No need. You’re such a clumsy girl—let your grandmother do it. Your grandfather may be unwell, but he’s not so weak that he needs to be spoon-fed all the time," the old lady interjected with a kind smile."This is for you," Joseph said, handing Heidi a separate breakfast."Thank you, brother-in-law! You actually brought me some? I only mentioned it in passing—I didn’t

After making all the necessary arrangements, he drove to the Cooper family estate.Half an hour later, he arrived.From the moment he stepped inside, he could tell that the Cooper family’s attitude toward him had completely shifted.Just yesterday, he had been nothing more than the worthless live-in son-in-law in their eyes.But now, after saving the old master and earning the respect of top medical professionals, his status had been utterly transformed.As Joseph parked his car at the estate’s entrance and walked through the gates, the household staff greeted him with bows and nods. Even the younger members of the Cooper family, who once looked down on him, now addressed him with respect.Yet, despite this drastic change, Joseph remained indifferent.They had once scorned him—he had felt nothing.Now they revered him—he still felt nothing.Without pausing for small talk, Joseph headed straight for the old master’s room.However, as he rounded a corner on his way to the back hall, a s
