The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 21: Fiona Overlooked
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
The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 26: Joining Nova University
"I may not be able to touch Alice, but that doesn't mean I can't get to others," Raymond Kim replied coldly. "Find out everything you can about this Joseph character and his relationship with Alice."Gripping Jonathan's shoulder, he continued, his voice laced with menace, "Meet me at the Triumphant Metropolis tonight at eight. I'll reserve the most expensive booth for you.""Certainly, Mr. Kim," Jonathan nodded hastily, watching as Raymond stalked away before he too departed.Outside Nova University, Geoffrey Harris led Joseph's group into a hotel. As they entered, he paused, taken aback."Mr. Harris, what a pleasant surprise," a tall, impeccably dressed man approached them."Ah, Professor Charles Martin," Geoffrey Harris recovered quickly, offering a smile and a handshake. "My sincerest apologies, but I have some extremely important guests to attend to. I'm afraid I won't be able to personally welcome you as planned."Joseph's expression flickered momentarily at the mention of Charle
The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 27: Delusions
Joseph realized then that Alice's actions had been deliberate. Normally, a woman's personal items were private matters, yet she had intentionally placed it in his pocket. The implications were clear.He pondered why Alice seemed so fond of him. Had he done something significant for her in the past? Was it merely because he had been present throughout her upbringing, leading to a strong sense of attachment? It seemed to be developing into something more romantic.But did he truly have feelings for Alice? He wasn't certain if it was love, but he definitely didn't dislike her. After all, who would willingly spend so much time with someone they disliked? Perhaps this was love, even if it wasn't entirely clear in his mind.Suddenly, his phone vibrated. It was Heidi calling."Hello, Heidi. What's the matter?" Joseph answered."Brother-in-law, are you free? I'd like to treat you to dinner! There's this unique new restaurant near the university called 'Private Kitchen' where you can cook your

"Of course, we'll give you time. I'm just gauging your interest. Let me put it this way: do you have feelings for our Alice?" Blake Morgan rephrased."Mr. Morgan, to be blunt, given my current situation and Alice's young age, I fear I might hold her back," Joseph admitted, voicing his genuine concerns."Joseph, you're overthinking this. With your status, how could you possibly hold her back? As long as you two are in love, I can make it happen. Remember, my word is still law in this family," Blake Morgan declared confidently, his face slightly flushed from the wine at lunch."Mr. Morgan, rest assured, regardless of what happens, Alice will always be my closest person. I'll protect her for life," Joseph promised.However, by this time, Blake Morgan had dozed off in the backseat, his steady breathing audible.The drive from Nova University to Morgan Group, usually a 20-minute journey, took nearly an hour due to traffic. Upon arrival, Joseph gently woke Blake Morgan and escorted him to h

"This is a matter between teachers—it has nothing to do with you students!" Charles Martin tried to explain, his voice tense."If it has nothing to do with us, then why did you make it public?" "Exactly! Couldn’t agree more." "A teacher who doesn’t keep his word isn’t welcome at Nova University." "Yeah, own up to your bet!" "..."The voices on the other end grew louder and more chaotic."I’m done talking. I’m hanging up—I have class to get to." Charles Martin ended the call abruptly. There was no point in dragging it out any longer; he knew he wouldn’t win against this mob.He was tempted to just switch off his phone and be done with it.But school policy required teachers to keep their phones on and available during work hours, in case of emergencies or administrative contact.Charles leaned back in his chair, exhausted in both body and mind. He still had no idea who had leaked his personal information to the school forum.Buzz! Buzz!And again, the phone vibrated.Already on e

"Professor Alvarez, you misunderstood. I just didn’t control my volume," Joseph said awkwardly, trying to explain himself."Then why do you always seem so dismissive of me? Why are you constantly arguing with me? Do you have some sort of bias against me?" Mason Alvarez pressed on, clearly aggrieved."You’ve really got it wrong. Honestly, I think you’re a great person—easygoing and down-to-earth. Being around you, I don’t feel the need to put on airs." Joseph replied earnestly."Is that really how you feel?" Mason’s voice softened, her gaze growing gentler."Of course it is. Why would I lie about something like that? I wouldn’t have agreed to help you dodge that blind date otherwise, would I? And besides, you’re close with Alice. Any friend of hers is a friend of mine." Joseph spoke without hesitation."Then, Professor Wilson... why don’t we date?" Mason’s eyes sparkled mischievously as she made the unexpected suggestion.Joseph froze, completely taken aback."Hey, what’s with th

While Mason Alvarez was drowning in embarrassment, Joseph sat at his desk, utterly unfazed, leisurely flipping through documents and browsing references on his computer, as though the chaos around him had nothing to do with him.The sight of his calm demeanor only fueled Mason's frustration.Why was she the one being grilled by Brady Rogers and Felix Baker, while this infuriating man got to sit there, completely untouched by the storm?Fueled by indignation, she abruptly lifted her foot and stomped hard on Joseph’s.“Ouch!”Joseph yelped in pain, turning to her in disbelief.“Professor Alvarez, what the hell?! Why’d you step on my foot?”“Oh, sorry. Totally an accident.”Mason shot him a glare that said otherwise. Joseph was left speechless.“Professor Alvarez, you still haven’t answered Professor Baker’s question.”Brady Rogers reminded her, ever so helpfully.Mason nearly choked. Brady, who usually came off as the quiet one, was now joining the teasing squad? The world had truly gon

The moment Joseph opened the school forum, his screen was flooded with posts about him. Nearly every trending thread pinned at the top was somehow related to him.“Youngest professor cracks a complex medical case!” “Professor Martin’s bet with Professor Wilson—will he really bow and apologize?” “Anyone got Professor Martin’s number? I want to give him a piece of my mind.” “If Professor Martin doesn’t keep his word, no one will take his class ever again.” …Every corner of the forum was plastered with threads, all revolving around Joseph and Charles Martin.He casually tapped into the post asking for Martin’s phone number. A quick glance confirmed his expectations—users had already dug up more than just his number. His home address was exposed too.The replies were brutal.“Looks like Professor Martin’s getting digitally lynched.”Joseph muttered under his breath. Martin probably never imagined his private life would be stripped bare and paraded so shamelessly on the school forum.

"Seven times a week should be fine. Any more than that, and it might be pushing it. Just pace yourself." Joseph said casually. "Seven times a week? That much? Even at my peak, I couldn’t manage that!" Mason Morgan was utterly stunned. Joseph cast him a knowing glance. "Sounds like Uncle Mason wasn’t all that strong to begin with." "You little brat, what nonsense are you spouting now?!" Mason instantly bristled. "Just hurry up and finish writing that prescription. Less talking, more working!" Joseph smirked but didn’t argue. He simply continued writing with quiet focus. One check’s backside wasn’t enough—he had to use a second one to finish. After about twenty minutes, he finally put down his pen. "This one is the prescription, and the other contains the medical instructions. Follow them precisely, and you’ll be fine." Joseph handed both checks to Mason Morgan. Mason scanned them, recognizing a few of the ingredients but not fully understanding their effects. After all, he

"Well, what do you think?" "If that old doctor were more skilled than me, you wouldn’t be sitting here talking to me right now. His prescription clearly didn’t meet your expectations." "That’s why you came to me—hoping I could offer a better solution." Joseph’s words were sharp and precise. Mason Morgan sighed. "That’s true." "But if even that old doctor couldn’t fully resolve my issue, are you sure you can? He seemed pretty capable." His brows furrowed in concern—after all, this was a matter that would affect the rest of his life. He couldn’t afford to take it lightly. "The old doctor does have some skill," Joseph admitted calmly, "but not much." Mason scoffed. "You sure don’t lack confidence, kid." "But talk is cheap. I still don’t know how skilled you really are. You say all the right things, but when it comes down to actual treatment, can you really deliver?" Joseph smirked. "I don’t even need to see it to know what prescription he gave you." "Got a pen and paper? Hand

Joseph took a slow sip of his lemon water, placing the glass back on the table with a composed smile. His unhurried demeanor only served to irritate Mason Morgan. "Kid, you’ve got nothing, huh? I knew you were just full of hot air!" "But I get it. You’re trained in traditional medicine—you don’t understand modern medical practices, so you have no clue how Western medicine would treat my condition." Mason assumed Joseph’s calmness was just a stalling tactic. "Uncle Mason, I’m well-versed in traditional Chinese medicine, but I also have a solid grasp of modern medicine." "To put it plainly, I’ve mastered both worlds, East and West, past and present. In the field of andrology, my mentor was known as the ‘Saint of Men’s Health.’" "I inherited all his teachings, but I didn’t just stop there—I refined and innovated upon them. As a result, I earned the title ‘Little Saint of Men’s Health.’" "And let’s be clear—the ‘Little’ in my title isn’t because I’m inferior to my master. It’s sim

Under Mason Alvarez’s relentless teasing, Alice could do nothing but yelp and struggle. "You’re awful! You’re the worst! Let me go—I surrender! I won’t say anything about you again, I swear! Please, have mercy!" She begged for a while before Mason Alvarez finally relented. By then, Alice was thoroughly disheveled, her breathing uneven as she lay sprawled out on the bed, utterly spent. "Now do you understand the power of your senior?" Mason grinned triumphantly. "You’re nothing but a shameless rogue!" Alice huffed. "Oh? Care to repeat that?" Mason’s eyes narrowed in mock threat. Alice immediately turned her head away, pouting but clearly backing down. "Still, Wilson sure is one lucky man," Mason mused as she gave Alice a once-over. "You look so petite, but who would’ve thought you had such a killer figure?" Alice shot her a glare. "You’re not exactly lacking yourself! You think you were the only one taking advantage just now? I got my fair share too!" Mason chuckled. "Oh? Is

"Oh, stop it! Don’t ask me that—you’re so shameless!" Alice covered her face, utterly embarrassed. Every time Mason Alvarez probed her with these kinds of questions, her cheeks would burn as if set ablaze. "Oh, please! You’ve been living together for so long—who would believe that nothing has happened between you two?" Mason teased with a mischievous grin. "It’s true! Joseph said he wants to wait for the right moment," Alice murmured, her voice growing softer as she buried her face deeper into her hands. "Tsk tsk, waiting for a special moment? Who would’ve thought Wilson was such a traditional man? He really doesn’t seem the type," Mason mused, clearly surprised. "Honestly, I think it’s kind of sweet," Alice said in a hushed tone. Mason draped an arm around Alice’s shoulders, her voice laced with playful mischief. "Listen, little one, a man only truly belongs to you once he’s in your grasp—understand?" Alice blinked in confusion. "What do you mean by that, Mason?" "It’s simpl
