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.

    “Have you been here long?”Joseph walked over, pulled out a chair, and took a seat.“Not at all, cousin-in-law—we just got here and placed our order!”Lillian Morvek replied promptly.“By the way, brother-in-law, you’re trending all over Twitter again today.”After ordering, Heidi had already started scrolling through her phone.“What can I do about that?”Joseph said with a trace of helplessness.“Cousin-in-law, if I get into Nova University next year, I’m definitely applying to your department.”Lillian declared with unwavering determination.“Lillian Morvek, can you stop daydreaming? If you want to enter his program, you’ll be competing against the top students in the entire country. Do you really think you’re on that level?”Heidi deliberately tried to deflate her.“The college entrance exam hasn’t even happened yet—how do you know I don’t have what it takes? What if I outperform myself when it counts?”“Besides, I’ve always been pretty lucky.”Lillian retorted stubbornly.“When a

    “I just wrapped things up. What’s up—need something?”Joseph replied plainly.“Then you don’t have any other plans tonight, right?”Heidi pressed.“Yes and no.”“Does going home for dinner count as a plan?”Joseph paused, then answered.“That doesn’t count, because I’m inviting you to dinner.”“And I’ve already told Alice—you’re having a late-night meal with me tonight.”Heidi declared, leaving no room for negotiation.“What time is it right now? This is dinner, and you’re calling it a late-night snack?”Joseph couldn’t help but complain.“Oh, it’s all the same. Food is food.”“Anyway, Lillian and I are on our way to the ‘Usual Place’ barbecue restaurant—the one we always used to go to. Get over here!”“Lillian Morvek is leaving in a couple of days. She happens to be free tonight, so we’re dragging you out for a meal.”Heidi spoke as if his agreement were already settled.“…Alright then.”“You really told Alice, right?”Joseph asked again.“Of course I did. Seriously, are you that afr

    “Whether as an educator or in any other capacity, all my work is tied to medicine and scientific research.”“I believe these roles you’ve mentioned won’t interfere with my primary duties—if anything, they will reinforce one another.”“Moreover, my focus will always remain on teaching. As the head of Dragon Soaring Group, unless under exceptional circumstances, I won’t be directly involved in the company’s day-to-day management.”Joseph responded with calm composure.What followed was a barrage of questions from the press. The conference stretched on for over two hours.At last, it came to an end.Afterward, Joseph, Blake Morgan, Fiona, and the rest toured the new company’s headquarters.By the time all engagements were completed, it was already five in the afternoon. Joseph returned to his car, ready to head home.Just then, Neil Foster called. Joseph answered without hesitation.“Young Master, are you done for the day?”Neil’s voice came through the line.“I was just about to head ho

    The moment the three of them appeared, flashes erupted across the venue in relentless waves.At the front of the stage stood three separate podiums, each equipped with a microphone.“Joseph, take the center. Today, you’re the main attraction.”Blake Morgan murmured, subtly guiding Joseph to the central podium.“Thank you.”Joseph replied softly, immediately understanding Blake’s intention—he was being placed in the lead to preside over the conference.“First, my sincere thanks to all members of the press and esteemed colleagues present today.”“It is my great honor to have received the full support of both the Morgan Group and the Cooper family. After careful deliberation and mutual agreement, we have decided to establish a joint venture—Dragon Soaring Group.”“Dragon Soaring Group will focus primarily on the medical field, building upon it to develop, produce, promote, and distribute new pharmaceuticals.”“It aspires not only to become a leading force in Elysia’s healthcare industry,

    “What else would it be? You stayed up waiting—wasn’t it for this?”Mason Morgan said with a teasing grin.“Oh, stop it. Can you be a little gentler? What if you wake the child?”Molly struggled lightly, but after a couple of half-hearted attempts, she let him carry her into the bedroom.Before long, peculiar sounds filled the room, rising and falling in an unbroken rhythm.Fortunately, the house was well soundproofed—otherwise, it might have carried beyond the door.The sounds lingered for quite some time before finally fading, and those who made them drifted into sleep along with the night.Over the next several days, Joseph found himself unusually free. After such a long stretch of busyness, he finally had a rare chance to rest.Taking advantage of the lull, Joseph spent a couple of days out with Alice and Mason Alvarez. They didn’t venture far, staying within Nova City.After all, though the city had grown more stable, it was by no means entirely safe.During those days, Heidi occa

    “I meant to tell you today, but he was busy. Before I had the chance, he slipped away.”Heidi replied.“Come, come—tell Grandpa in detail about this bell. It belongs to you, yet you don’t remember it at all.”“And this thing—it looks like something from a temple. I had people search every temple around Nova City, but none could identify its origin. So where exactly did these bells come from?”Old Mr. Cooper was intensely curious.Heidi then explained everything to Old Mr. Cooper in detail—the origin of the bells, along with all the strange coincidences and twists of fate surrounding them.After hearing her out, Old Mr. Cooper nodded slowly in understanding.“So that’s how it is… no wonder, no wonder!”“You and Joseph are bound by fate—and yet so much of it is woven through sheer coincidence!”He couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.“That’s right.”Heidi replied calmly.“And how do you plan to tell Joseph?”Old Mr. Cooper asked, turning the small bell over in his hand.“How else? I’ll
