"What’s the use of complaining now? Things have already come to this.""Matters between young people should be left to the young to resolve. What business do old folks like us have meddling in it?""You worry far too much. At our age, do you really think we can decide how their future paths should unfold?"Old Mrs. Cooper gazed in the direction Fiona had left, her voice tinged with emotion."If I don’t worry, who will? I’m not dead yet. As long as I’m alive, I’ll worry until my last breath."Old Mr. Cooper replied stubbornly."Fine then. I, for one, don’t have the energy to worry anymore.""Fiona and Heidi’s aunt’s family said they’re coming over and plan to stay here for a while. I’ve already told the staff to make the arrangements.""They chose to come at this time—are they here to check on Fiona’s parents’ situation?"Old Mrs. Cooper said meaningfully."Heidi’s aunt… is that the one who used to do business in Nova City when the kids were little, the one who visited them often?"Old

"What are you talking about? What could I possibly be misunderstanding?""Sis, what’s wrong with you today? You seem so flustered."Heidi glanced at Fiona and blinked."Do I?"Fiona replied, putting on an air of calm.Once she settled down and thought it through, she realized she really had been overreacting. Mr. Wilson was clearly looking for her because of work—she hadn’t done anything wrong. Besides, her ex-husband asking to meet her was perfectly normal in any family. So why did she feel as if she had something to hide?"Of course you are. You’re not doing anything shady—so why are you so afraid of people finding out?"Heidi nodded, her tone firm and certain."Ahem… well, it’s getting late. I’ll tidy up and head out, or Mr. Wilson will be waiting too long.""Tomorrow morning, I need to pick up Auntie and the others. I’ll be at work during the day, so I’ll have to leave it to you to show them around.""As for where they’ll stay, they said they’ll stay here. Have Uncle Alvarez m

From a young age, Blake Morgan had personally guided Mason Morgan, and Mason had inherited his father’s sharp business instincts and commercial acumen almost perfectly.“The pharmaceutical industry has always been obscenely profitable.”“As long as what you have, Joseph, truly works, the Morgan family can help you turn it into unimaginable wealth.”Blake Morgan spoke with absolute confidence.“I actually have quite a large number of research results in my hands.”“I’ve just retrieved my old computer from back then.”“We still have time. I intend to use my own methods to support both the Morgan family and the Cooper family, helping you grow even further.”Joseph replied calmly.“You’re a professor at Nova University and such an exceptional physician.”“To us businessmen, you’re practically a gold mine.”“As long as you’re willing to give us the opportunity, we have ways to turn it into cash.”“But when you say the Cooper family, you mean the Cooper family of Nova City, right?”“The Nov

However, Blake Morgan shook his head.“This isn’t a matter of money. What matters is coordination—how we work in concert with Joseph.”“No matter how strong Joseph is, he’s still just one man. Even the strongest fists can’t fight four hands.”“What lies ahead will be an exceptionally grim situation.”Blake Morgan’s expression was heavy.“The old man is right.”“But there’s no need to be overly pessimistic. They have people—and so do we. And our people are no worse than those so-called assassins.”Joseph replied calmly.Hearing this, both Blake Morgan and Mason Morgan’s eyes lit up.“Joseph, you have other support?”Blake Morgan asked urgently.“I do. But we still can’t afford to let our guard down.”“Our plan is to make sure that every assassin who comes to Nova City stays in Nova City.”“Most of these killers were involved in the persecution of my mentor and me.”“My elder brother’s entire family was nearly wiped out by their hands. Since they’ve come this time, they won’t be leaving

Joseph got into the car, and Alice hurried after him.“Brother Joseph, can you really drive? If not, I can take over. I’ll drive slowly—it should be fine.”Alice asked, worried as she looked at him.“It’s fine. I can drive. Don’t worry—my hand is just injured, not unusable.”“Besides, my body recovers very quickly. I’ll be fine soon.”As Joseph spoke, he started the engine and pulled out.“Alright then. Just drive slower—there’s no need to rush.”Alice said softly, unable to hide her concern.“Where did Grandpa say we’re meeting?”Joseph asked.“Here. I’ll put my phone on the mount for navigation. Just follow it.”As she spoke, Alice placed her phone on the dashboard holder. Joseph glanced at it and immediately recognized the destination.Having lived in Nova City for many years, he knew the city well.“This is a tea house owned by our Morgan family.”“It’s our own place, quite upscale, and usually very few people come here.”“Discussing matters here should be relatively secure.”Alic

“I’ve remembered almost everything.”“Luckily, I didn’t turn into a vegetable. I forced myself through it.”“The things my mentor made me forget really were things that would have shattered me.”A bitter smile crossed Joseph’s face, tinged with desolation.“Brother Joseph…”Alice hesitated, unsure how to comfort him.“Professor Wilson, when you have the time, you can tell us about it. Let us shoulder some of it with you.”Mason Alvarez spoke up.“That old lady was right—keeping everything bottled up by yourself is exhausting. We can share the burden too.”Alice chimed in.“I know.”“But now isn’t the time for that. I still have urgent matters to deal with.”Joseph nodded, then continued.“Professor Wilson, you’re injured like this, and you don’t look well either. Why don’t you stay home and rest this afternoon?”“From the way you’re speaking, are you going out again?”Mason Alvarez asked in surprise.“I don’t have a choice. It’s extremely urgent.”“I’m going to arrange a meeting with
