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

"Even from a short distance, you can catch a whiff of a strange, foul mixture of odors. It’s obvious this man is addicted to debauchery, steeped in nightlife excess. He’s riddled with various venereal diseases—he's utterly filthy.""So, it's best to stay as far away from people like him as possible. Many diseases are contagious," Joseph said with a faint smile."My grandfather once took me to dinner with his father, and he was there too. Was I in danger back then?" Alice asked, a flicker of fear crossing her face."It's not that serious. Most diseases of that nature require intimate contact to spread. A shared meal isn't enough. You’re perfectly healthy—there’s nothing to worry about.""But keeping your distance is still wise," Joseph added reassuringly."Phew, that's a relief," Alice exhaled deeply."Joseph, by what you’re saying, Raymond Kim doesn't have long to live," Alice said, half-joking but with a trace of genuine concern."Not necessarily that he'll die soon, but he’l

Even before the final bell, Joseph was already sitting in his car, waiting patiently for Alice. He sat quietly, glancing idly into the left rearview mirror—only to spot a few familiar figures reflected within.Seeing the situation, Joseph reached out and adjusted the rearview mirror, giving himself a clearer view of the people behind the car. At that moment, on the balcony of the First Teaching Building, a few students stood, their gazes cold and sharp, fixed on Joseph’s car.Joseph recognized them all. Leading the group was Raymond Kim, flanked by his ever-present sidekick—someone named Jonathan, if he recalled correctly. Another figure was Scrappy, a non-student who Joseph had once taught a painful lesson. University campuses were generally open spaces; unless someone behaved outrageously, outsiders wouldn't be barred entry.What surprised Joseph was the presence of Griffin Bailey, who had relentlessly pursued Heidi before. Yet, thinking it through, it made sense—both Griffin'

"What do you mean 'looks like'? That's clearly Mr. Wilson—my former brother-in-law, mind you!" After watching for a while, Heidi spoke with absolute certainty."Are you really that sure, Heidi?" A short-haired girl glanced at her, skeptical."Of course I am! I lived under the same roof with him for three years. I can recognize his speech patterns, his every little habit and gesture without even thinking. Even if there are many things about him that I don't fully understand, I'm too familiar with who he is. I can even recognize his scent the moment he gets close.""So yeah, I'm a hundred percent sure—that's my brother-in-law. Well... ex-brother-in-law," Heidi declared, her tone firm."Geez! Honestly, it sounds like those three years, Wilson wasn't married to your sister at all, but to you," Daphne teased, a strange feeling rising in her heart. The intimacy between Heidi and Joseph, the depth of her understanding of him, seemed almost excessive—far beyond what normal relatives or ev

"Hello? Uncle Mason? What’s the matter?"Joseph answered the call, taking the initiative to speak first."My dear future son-in-law, are you alone right now?"Mason Morgan’s voice came through the line, sounding a little secretive."Uh, yeah. I’m the only one in the office at the moment. Everyone else is off—some are teaching, some are in the lab, and others are running errands."Joseph glanced around before replying."Good, that’s perfect. I’ve got a rather private question for you."Mason sounded visibly relieved."Sure, Uncle Mason. Ask whatever you want."Joseph blinked in surprise, but responded casually."Remember how you said my body would recover most of its function within three days?"Mason began cautiously."I did say something to that effect, yes."Joseph nodded, recalling the conversation."You definitely said it. So I want to ask—were you being serious?"Mason pressed."Of course I was serious. If it comes out of my mouth, it’s the truth. I don’t make empty promises.""B

"Mr. Wilson, about that request you made earlier—to compile my wife's medical records—I stayed up last night and got it all done."Brady Rogers cleared his throat, his tone unusually eager."Oh? That fast? Where are the documents? Let me take a look."Joseph was a bit surprised—he hadn’t expected Rogers to be so efficient."Right here.""Please have a look, Mr. Wilson."As he spoke, Brady lifted a thick stack of folders from beneath his desk."Just leave it on my table. I’ll go through it and let you know."Joseph glanced at the pile of medical records and CT scans. Even skimming it would take considerable time."Much appreciated, Mr. Wilson."Brady placed the documents in front of Joseph but didn’t make any move to leave."Professor Rogers, you don't have to wait here. Go ahead with your work—no need to tire yourself out."Joseph noticed him standing stiffly in front of his desk and tried to persuade him."It’s alright, Mr. Wilson. I’d rather wait. I’m... quite anxious, honestly."Br

Under the comment posted by the user with the James profile picture, a flood of inquisitive netizens gathered, all eager to uncover the identity of the man whose piano performance had touched their hearts so deeply.After keeping everyone in suspense long enough, the user finally revealed the answer. "I’m a student at Nova University. This gentleman is our teacher—Mr. Joseph Wilson. At least, I’m fairly certain it’s him." "Whoa, no wonder! Turns out he’s a big shot from Nova University’s Music Department. That explains the brilliance. He made Butterfly Lovers sound like a divine symphony. 'Today I heard him speak through the pipa, and it felt like celestial music piercing the soul.'" "Actually, just to clarify, Mr. Joseph isn't from the Music Department. He’s the youngest faculty member in the Traditional Medicine Department—just joined less than a month ago," James replied again. "I’m also a student at Nova University. The person in the video does resemble Mr. Wilson, but not ent

"He didn’t say much—just asked me to remind you. Said it’s something important, and that you should come alone," Heidi continued."Alright then. It's getting late, and I’ve got an early class tomorrow. I should get some rest," Joseph replied."Okay, sleep well. Good night, brother-in-law," Heidi said sweetly.After exchanging goodnights, they both hung up.---The next morning, Joseph and Alice arrived at the university early.Joseph didn’t even stop by his office—he went straight to the classroom.By the time he finished teaching and returned to the office, Mason Alvarez, Felix Baker, and Brady Rogers were already there.Mason was busy working, while Felix and Brady were huddled together, whispering and seemingly engrossed in some intriguing discovery.They didn’t even notice when Joseph walked in."Mr. Wilson, I came in early today and still didn’t see you. Didn’t you have a morning class?" Mason was the first to speak."Exactly. I went straight to the classroom and skipped the offi

"I'm a doctor. Of course I know what it is," Joseph replied, clearly exasperated."As long as you know. Mr. Wilson, don’t you think I’m being especially considerate?" Mason sounded rather smug."Considerate? You’re the one who's been corrupting Alice," Joseph retorted."Corrupting her? Come on, she’s an adult. Do you really think she needs me to teach her this stuff?""I simply did what neither of you had the nerve to do. I know you’re both too shy to take the first step, so I gave you a little nudge.""Alice is a good girl. You're not planning on getting wild without protection, are you?"Mason's voice carried a sly undertone."Professor Alvarez, I’m not some irresponsible guy. You think I'd cross the line like that? I haven’t even touched her."Joseph tried to defend himself."Exactly, you haven't touched her—that is crossing the line. Not touching her is one kind of reckless. Touching her without protection is another. Know what I mean?"Mason looked like a seasoned veteran in such

"What is it? Why do I have to go to your room to see it?"Joseph raised a brow, intrigued."Just go take a shower first, alright? You’ll see."She urged him again, her tone playful."...Alright then."Joseph found it odd but didn’t press. He turned and made his way to his room.Back in his room, Joseph quickly gathered his change of clothes and headed into the bathroom.Outside, Alice was still happily munching away at her late-night feast.Joseph was still curious about what Alice wanted to show him, but figured he might as well shower first.By the time he came out, towel-drying his hair, Alice had just about finished eating."So, what was that thing you wanted to show me?" Joseph asked casually."Carry me to my room first, and I’ll show you." Alice spread her arms toward him expectantly.Joseph could only sigh and walk over.The moment he was close, Alice wrapped her arms tightly around his neck and locked her legs around his waist like a koala, clinging to him with no intention
