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.

    “Young Master, what should we do now?”Wayne Gutierrez’s trusted aide asked.“Before you came in, I had already been monitoring the developments online. The situation is clearly spiraling beyond control.”“This won’t just ferment online—its repercussions will spread far and wide.”“For instance, the southern frontier army.”Wayne Gutierrez spoke with a grave expression.“The southern frontier army?”His aide froze for a moment.“You don’t seriously think that just because Eugene Wilson has been dead for years, his influence over the southern frontier has faded, do you?”“His prestige there remains immense. A million soldiers in the frontier army hold him in the highest regard. Before the East Coast counteroffensive, their numbers were nowhere near that scale—only later did they grow into what they are now.”

    “What does that prove? It proves they are the true executioners—the ones who caused General Eugene Wilson’s death. That is why they kept it hidden. And secrecy only betrays a guilty conscience.”“Well said. The truth behind this is terrifying. A general who rendered unparalleled service to the nation was murdered and then labeled as ‘missing.’”“I followed General Eugene Wilson from my early twenties. He was seven or eight years older than me—a truly decent man. Despite his high rank, he was approachable, lived simply, and carried himself with humility. Perhaps it was precisely because he refused to collude with certain people that he was eliminated.”“…”In less than twenty minutes, the top comment alone had already amassed over thirty thousand replies—an astonishing level of engagement, and it was still climbing rapidly.“Let me break down who this To

    Heidi, whose thoughts had been entirely occupied with the task Joseph entrusted to her, hurried back to work the moment dinner ended.With Joseph’s approval, she began uploading the video through her various accounts and channels.“Well? Any reaction yet?”Joseph asked not long after.“It’s still being posted—give it a moment, Professor Wilson.”Heidi remained focused on her screen, not even lifting her head.“Alright, take your time. I’ve got some things to handle as well—I’ll step away for a bit.”“If you need anything, just call me.”Joseph said to her.“Okay.”Heidi responded softly.“Oh, right. Don’t head back tonight—it’ll be too late. Just stay here.”Remembering how she had spent the entire afternoon working for him and rushing back and forth, Joseph added.“Ah… alright. I wasn’t planning to leave anyway.”Heidi replied.“Don’t worry, Professor Wilson—we’ll take good care of your little cabbage.”Mason Alvarez said with a playful grin.“Ahem… I’ll go get busy.”Hearing Mason’s

    “No need for a massage. After dinner tonight, I still have other matters to attend to.”Joseph replied evenly. There was no way he could have missed the implication in Mason Alvarez’s suggestive remarks.He deliberately steered the conversation elsewhere.“Professor Wilson, you really are busy.”Mason Alvarez couldn’t help but complain.Joseph merely smiled and focused on driving.More than thirty minutes later, the three of them arrived home.As soon as they stepped inside, they saw Heidi seated in the living room, busy with something.“Professor Wilson, Senior Mason Alvarez, Alice—you’re back.”Heidi greeted them one by one.“How’s it coming along?”Joseph asked as he walked in.“The main editing is basically done. You can come take a look.”“I came over in person because I was worried that sending it online might risk the video being leaked.”“So I brought it here directly.”Heidi explained.“Let me see.”Joseph sat down at her spot and began reviewing the video on her laptop.Mean

    “It’s not quite what we expected. After Wayne Gutierrez got off the plane, he didn’t head to the Nova City administrative offices. Instead, he went straight to the Nova City Garrison.”“And rather than staying there, he chose to lodge at the Nova City International Hotel.”“Some of the officials traveling with him are already maintaining contact with the local administration.”Neil Foster reported.“Under normal circumstances, they should have gone to the administrative offices first to establish formal communication.”“But he went directly to the garrison instead. Why?”Joseph pondered for a moment, a thoughtful look crossing his face.“That suggests…?”Neil Foster frowned slightly as he considered it.“It suggests he’s sending a message—that he understands exactly where the crux of Nova City’s problems lies.”Joseph said, cutting straight to the point.“So that’s his intention?”Neil Foster sounded surprised.“Didn’t the reports say he’s no ordinary man?”“This Wayne Gutierrez is no

    “It wasn’t entirely secure before, but now it is.”Old Mr. Cooper looked to be in high spirits.“How so?”Old Miss Cooper asked with evident curiosity.“My dear, whether you like hearing it or not, among the younger generation of our Cooper family, aside from Heidi and Fiona, there are hardly any who can truly be relied upon.”“If only we had a young man like Joseph in the Cooper family, I wouldn’t have to worry so much.”Old Mr. Cooper spoke with a trace of emotion.“Heidi and Fiona are quite good as they are. Some things can’t be forced. Some people are simply destined to be ordinary.”“Besides, I think those two girls are quite capable.”Old Miss Cooper added.“To have granddaughters like Fiona and Heidi is enough for me. Though they are women, if either of them could marry Joseph, it would be as if our Cooper family had gained an outstanding successor.”As Old Mr. Cooper mulled it over, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of delight.“You certainly dream big—both of them, no less.
