The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 18: Your Girlfriend Must Be Very Happy
"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,
The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 20: Did You Two Have a Pleasant Time Together Last Night?
"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
The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 22: The Morgan Family is a Behemoth
The Cooper family's opportunity came out of nowhere and also disappeared out of nowhere. Three years ago, the Morgan Group personally came to their door, giving the Cooper family a chance to develop.But three years later, the Morgan Group silently left, not even leaving a reason. Why was this?"Miss, what should we do next?" a subordinate asked."We can only wait. Wait three days for the Morgan Group to give an explanation," Fiona said helplessly."Let's go back first!" Having said that, Fiona left first.At this moment, at Nova University.Joseph drove the car into the school, then found a spot to park. On the way here, they naturally attracted a lot of attention.Because the luxury car was simply too eye-catching.Joseph was originally a low-key person, but now that he was driving for the Morgan family, he could only follow their lead."Let's go. We're going up," Blake Morgan got out of the car first, then said to the two.Afterwards, Joseph and Alice went upstairs."Mr. Kim, who i
The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 23: How Could I Possibly Be This Remarkable?
"This is Joseph, the disciple of an old friend of mine. Today's visit is precisely for him," Blake Morgan got straight to the point as soon as he opened his mouth."Oh? I don't know what I can do," Geoffrey Harris asked."This kid Joseph wants to get a teaching job at Nova University!" Blake Morgan continued."Oh?" Hearing these words, Geoffrey Harris couldn't help but frown.Not just anyone could become a teacher at Nova University. Moreover, this Joseph looked to be only in his twenties. What kind of experience could he have?"Is something troubling you?" Blake Morgan inquired tentatively.Geoffrey Harris responded with a look of concern, "To be frank, Mr. Morgan, there is indeed a predicament. This young man appears to be barely in his twenties. While I don't expect him to have extensive life experience, academic credentials are paramount. Nova University is a prestigious institution, and we place the utmost importance on such qualifications."He continued, "Our faculty at Nova Uni
The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 24: A Genius Among Geniuses
Joseph interjected, his face a mixture of disbelief and amusement, "Mr. Harris, it's not just them - I can scarcely believe it myself. How could I possibly be so accomplished? Wouldn't that make me some sort of prodigy among prodigies?"He shook his head, a perplexed smile playing on his lips. "It's utterly inconceivable. I can't recall a single thing about any of this. How extraordinary!"Blake Morgan and Alice nodded in agreement with Joseph's words, equally astounded by the revelation."Mr. Wilson, as incredible as it may seem, you are indeed a genius among geniuses," Geoffrey Harris declared. "Allow me to demonstrate."Struck by a sudden inspiration, he procured an A4 sheet and began scribbling. Upon completion, he presented it to Joseph.Alice and Blake Morgan leaned in to observe. Joseph studied the equation, initially unfamiliar, but with each passing moment, fragments of memory began to surface."This appears to be the Stokes equation, a renowned mathematical conundrum," Josep
The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 25: A Good Person, But Not Suitable
"I appreciate the gesture, Mr. Harris, but I'm not seeking a position in the mathematics department," Joseph replied after a brief pause.Confused, Geoffrey Harris asked, "Does that matter?"Joseph explained carefully, "Mr. Harris, as I mentioned, I've lost many memories, and this loss was deliberately induced. If my identity is as you describe, my presence here today is likely due to my master's wish to keep me out of the public eye. Therefore, I'd prefer if you publish this new solution without revealing my name. Perhaps attribute it to an anonymous faculty member."Geoffrey Harris pondered this, realizing the logic in Joseph's words. Someone of Joseph's caliber would typically be hailed as a national treasure; the current circumstances suggested underlying reasons for discretion."Very well, we'll proceed as you suggest, Mr. Wilson. But please, I implore you to consider a position at our university. Your presence would significantly elevate our academic standing," Geoffrey Harris s

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

"Is that it? I expected something more dramatic.""Not even a twitch. I thought this was supposed to be impressive?""Acupuncture has been tried before—it didn’t work then either."The room buzzed with subdued cynicism, skepticism evident in every hushed remark."Joseph, is that all? You don’t seem that remarkable after all," Charles Martin sneered, seizing the opportunity to mock him."What’s the rush? I still have one last needle," Joseph remarked, a faint smile playing at the corner of his lips as he picked up the final, larger needle.All eyes locked onto it.Philip Anderson and Leonard Sanchez tensed.Leonard simply sensed that something monumental was about to happen, while Philip Anderson recalled Joseph’s earlier words—he had mentioned that the final needle would stimulate the Mid-Spinal Acupoint.Was the moment finally here?Philip Anderson stared unblinkingly at Joseph’s hands, unwilling to miss even a second of what was to come.Then, in a decisive motion, Joseph drove the

"Hand me a set of standard silver needles," Joseph requested.Without hesitation, Richard Anderson complied."Professor Wilson, just focus on your work. I'll keep an eye on this guy—he has no medical knowledge, and I don’t want him messing up as your assistant. If I had known, I would have brought Lindsay along." Philip Anderson stood nearby, watching intently."I appreciate it, Mr. Anderson," Joseph said."Professor Wilson, let me assist you. I’m strong and steady—I won’t fumble," Leonard Sanchez offered enthusiastically.Joseph considered it for a moment and then nodded. Leonard Sanchez was indeed an experienced hand.The spectators found the scene increasingly perplexing. Both Philip Anderson and Leonard Sanchez—renowned experts and esteemed professors—were willing to assist Joseph? Just how skilled was this man?"Mr. Wilson, if I let go of the old man’s head, it’ll just drop down again. I can’t keep holding it like this forever," Alvarez remarked."Professor Sanchez, hand me a box

"Professor Martin, have you found anything?" Joseph pressed again."I… I need to administer an IV!" Charles Martin suddenly declared, as if grasping at straws.The crowd exchanged confused glances. Joseph’s brow furrowed slightly.Before anyone could question him, Charles quickly retrieved a set of injections from his medical kit."Dr. Martin, you say you need to administer an IV. What exactly are you injecting?" Tristan Flores stepped forward and grabbed Charles’s wrist firmly."Who the hell are you? What does it matter to you?" Charles Martin snapped, his eyes bloodshot, his composure slipping."Old Mr. Cooper’s body is completely normal—there is nothing wrong with him. The only IV he should be receiving is a standard nutritional drip. But I assume that’s not what you’re about to inject, is it?" Tristan’s voice was sharp, his gaze severe. "I, too, am trained in modern medicine. Tell me—what exactly are you administering?"Charles Martin hesitated before stammering, "I-It’s Ozagrel S

"A draw? With you? No thanks," Joseph smirked. "But if that’s how you want to console yourself, be my guest.""Joseph, quit bluffing. If you’re so capable, then why didn’t you wake the old master up all those years you spent in the Cooper family?" Martin pressed."Because I forgot," Joseph replied matter-of-factly.A burst of laughter erupted through the hall."Forgot? Hahaha… What kind of excuse is that? Does he think we’re idiots?""I used to think he was impressive for landing a teaching position at Nova University, but now I’m starting to suspect he conned his way in.""A loser is still a loser. At least come up with a better excuse than ‘I forgot.’""I’ve been saying this all along—Joseph is nothing but a fraud. I have no idea how he managed to associate with those prestigious experts.""Who knows? Probably through more deception."The murmurs and ridicule spread throughout the hall, the voices loud enough for everyone to hear.Philip Anderson furrowed his brows. Leaning slightly
