The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 190
Hearing this, Joseph’s face darkened. Damn the internet. It’s full of all sorts of absurd nonsense. "Even if they’re good for men, you can’t just eat them all the time. In medicine, no matter how beneficial something is, overdoing it can be harmful." "With this much chives, if I eat it all, I might actually end up with chive poisoning," Joseph said with a soft cough, his tone equal parts gentle and exasperated. "Huh… that does make sense," Alice said, tapping her head thoughtfully. "But still, thank you. You must’ve spent all morning preparing this, right?" Joseph said as he picked up a bite of chive scrambled eggs. The flavor wasn’t bad—actually, it was quite good. This girl’s cooking skills were improving at a visible rate. "Thank you for understanding, Joseph. I really did spend the whole morning on it. The more I cooked, the more I accidentally ended up making," Alice sighed, her voice tinged with helplessness. "Why are you thanking me? You made all this especially for me. I

"Alice, is it true? Do I really love eating chives, like you claimed?" Joseph asked, his tone dripping with helplessness as Alice nudged his arm with a sly look in her eyes. "Of course! You said it yourself, Joseph, didn’t you?" Alice prompted him, her expression filled with mischief. Joseph sighed, his face darkening slightly. He knew exactly what Alice was up to. "Yes," he said reluctantly, "chives are my absolute favorite." Then, with a faint smirk, he added, "If Professor Alvarez likes them, she’s welcome to try some as well." Hearing this, Alice finally breathed a sigh of relief, her tension melting away. "Oh? I’ve never heard of anyone actually liking chives," Mason Alvarez remarked with a faintly teasing smile. "Although, I have read that traditional Chinese medicine considers chives to be a powerful tonic for men." "That’s just speculation," Joseph replied evenly, taking another bite of his meal. "There’s no solid scientific evidence to support it—it’s hardly something

"Nothing important. I’ll show you later," Joseph replied casually. "Alright," Alice said with a nod, her eyes blinking innocently. "It’s still early—there’s nearly two hours before your next class. Why don’t I take you to the car for a quick rest?" Joseph suggested, checking the time. "Sure, I don’t mind. I’ve got classes all afternoon, though. If you finish early, you can head home first—I’ll come back on my own," Alice said thoughtfully. "I only have one class this afternoon, and it ends around five. Same time as yours. We’ll head home together," Joseph replied lightly. "Great! I love going to and from school with you every day—it makes me feel so happy," Alice said, following behind him, her voice full of joy. "What’s so special about it?" Joseph asked with a chuckle, reaching out to ruffle her hair. Alice didn’t resist; in fact, she leaned into his touch, clearly enjoying the affectionate gesture. Their bond had been this way for so many years that such closeness felt entir

Reading this, Mason couldn’t help but feel surprised. "This guy seems a bit silly and stingy, and while he’s not unattractive and clearly capable, what exactly makes him so charming?"She pondered this as her curiosity about Joseph deepened."Oh, by the way, Ms. Alvarez, if you really want to know more about Wilson’s personal life, you could ask Professor Leonard Sanchez. Sanchez seems to value Wilson a lot and probably knows a lot about him," Paula added after a brief pause."Got it. Thanks, Paula," Mason replied, ending the conversation. "I’ll let you go now. It’s time for my nap."After sending the message, Mason clicked on the forum link Paula had shared.The moment the page loaded, her screen was filled with posts about Joseph:- "A Special First Class: Today, Professor Wilson Diagnosed Me!"- "Rational Discussion: Why Is Professor Wilson’s Diagnosis So Accurate?"- "Let’s Talk About Our Experiences in Professor Wilson’s Classes."Mason scrolled through the posts, her curiosity g

Joseph watched her figure disappear into the distance before letting out a soft sigh. He didn’t leave immediately. Instead, he pulled up Heidi’s contact and dialed her number. It didn’t take long for the call to connect. "Hello, brother-in-law. What’s up?" Heidi’s pleasant voice came through the line. "Are you at school right now?" Joseph asked casually. "No, I’m not. I took the day off—ugh, what a pain. My sister’s busy this afternoon, so I have to handle the discharge procedures for those two and take them home," Heidi grumbled, clearly annoyed. The blame, as always, fell on the ever-incompetent Charles Martin, who had caused trouble again by attempting to cook despite his lack of skill. "I remember the Cooper family deals in medical equipment, right?" Joseph asked, cutting to the point. "Yeah, but it’s not our main business. Production is limited, and the profit margin isn’t great," Heidi replied. "Do you happen to have any custom-made silver needles? I’ll need some this Sat

With that thought in mind, Joseph stepped out of his car and headed toward his office. Taking the elevator to the fifth floor, he walked down the hallway. As he turned a corner, a figure suddenly appeared, and they nearly collided. Fortunately, Joseph had learned his lesson from that morning and managed to stop himself just in time, avoiding another mishap. "Hey, Professor Wilson! What’s your deal? How is it you again? Are you doing this on purpose? Were you just standing here, waiting to bump into me?" "Good thing I’m not holding water this time, or I’d have to go back and change again," a familiar, melodious voice said. Joseph looked up and felt a pang of exasperation. It was none other than Mason Alvarez. What were the odds? Mason stared at him, her expression filled with feigned annoyance. She couldn’t deny there was something strangely fateful about her interactions with this man. Even walking down the hallway, they somehow managed to run into each other. A phrase suddenly

Deciding not to engage further, he put his phone away. Ten minutes later, Mason Alvarez stormed into the office, her usual dramatic flair on full display. "Wait, Professor Wilson, why are you wearing Rogers’ shirt?" she asked, glancing at him before tossing a neatly packaged shirt onto his desk. "Here, I bought this for you. Consider it compensation." She didn’t even seem to notice that Felix Baker and Brady Rogers were also in the office. Joseph looked at her, utterly speechless. The excuse he had painstakingly crafted about the tree branch was now completely ruined. Felix and Brady’s gazes grew increasingly suspicious as they darted back and forth between him and Mason. "Your shirt is still at my dorm. I washed it, and once it’s dry, I’ll return it to you," Mason added casually, completely oblivious to how her words sounded to the others. It was only then that she noticed the strange looks from Felix and Brady. "Mason, why is Professor Wilson’s shirt at your dorm?" Felix aske

What does this mean? she thought, her frustration mounting. It means he’s deliberately ignoring me! The idea made her blood boil. With her looks and charm, she was used to people eagerly texting her, hoping for a reply, or even going out of their way to get her attention. But now, everything was reversed. Joseph not only ignored her but also seemed to find her a nuisance. "Why aren’t you replying to me, you jerk? Do you think ignoring me will make me pay more attention to you?" she typed furiously, sending another message. This time, she stole a glance at Joseph as he picked up his phone again. Finally, after a moment, he typed something back. "Are you insane? Can you stop? It’s work hours—I don’t have time to chat with you." "And trying to get your attention? What kind of over-the-top romance novels have you been reading?" Joseph hit send without hesitation. Mason Alvarez’s face turned red as she read the message. Anger bubbled up inside her, but she forced herself to stay cal

You and your master were always men of your word.""But still, I hope you and Alice can speed things up a little. Time waits for no one. I’m getting old, and honestly—I really want to hold my great-grandchild in my arms.""As long as you two can give me a great-grandchild, most of this family’s fortune will be yours.""You must understand—to me, money is just a number.""I have no interest in wealth. I’ve worked for the family business for years, and I’ve never taken a single cent in salary. Of course, all my wages were deposited under my granddaughter’s name—

"Are we dining out, or is there another arrangement?"Joseph asked."Why would we eat out? We’ll have dinner at home. Your cooking is far better than any restaurant chef’s."Blake shook his head, a grin on his face."Alright, I’ll get everything prepared."Joseph nodded."You might remember Mason Morgan, your uncle—perhaps you met him once or twice when you were young. He doesn’t know much about you, so he may be a bit strict. It’s a good chance for you two to talk and get to know each other."Blake advised."Don’t worry, Old Mr. Morgan."Joseph smiled."There’s something else I’d like your opinion on."Blake hesitated for a moment before speaking."What is it? Go ahead."Joseph responded casually."You remember Molly, Alice’s assistant? She occasionally drives her to school."Blake frowned."Of course, that was just recently."Joseph replied."What do you think of her? Does she seem like a good wife and mother?"Blake asked with pointed curiosity."Old Mr. Morgan, what are you implyi

"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
