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
The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 29: Without Your Flavor, I Can't Get Used to It
"Mr. Anderson, could you come take a look? I've never handled a case like this before," Lorraine called out, feeling out of her depth. The information she had uncovered seemed too surreal."What is it? Let me see!" Mr. Anderson walked over, his brow furrowed as he looked at the computer screen. As he read the information, his frown deepened."24 years old, national-level physician?" Mr. Anderson's voice had changed. He couldn't fathom how the young man before him could be a national-level physician."Is there a problem?" Joseph asked with a smile, his face calm."Of course there's a problem. How is this possible?" Mr. Anderson responded instinctively."But I did pass the exam. I passed it a while ago. I'm just here to get a physical copy of the certificate. Is that so difficult to process?" Joseph said with a wry smile."Young man, are you sure there's no mistake with this information?" Mr. Anderson asked."Whether there's a mistake or not, shouldn't you know? The information is from

“Don’t you think Professor Wilson is incredibly young?” Laura said, peeking out the window to glance at Joseph’s car. “That’s obvious, isn’t it? You don’t need to point it out,” Richard replied, growing impatient. “He’s young, talented, and good-looking. He’s not much older than our daughter,” Laura continued, her tone thoughtful. “That car out there—that’s his, right? It’s beautiful. Must’ve cost a fortune.” “Of course, it’s a luxury vehicle. Easily worth a million. If we sold our house, we might just be able to afford it. What, are you interested in him now?” Richard joked. “You’re so inappropriate! Do I look like someone who’d attract a man like him?!” Laura shot back, punching him lightly on the shoulder. “Then what’s the point of all this?” Richard asked with a chuckle. “Didn’t you notice the way our daughter was looking at Professor Wilson? There’s something… peculiar about it,” Laura said, a sly smile spreading across her face. “Peculiar? How so? I didn’t notice anythin

Joseph nodded and started the car, driving into the complex. He had to admit, the neighborhood was indeed large. While its size wasn’t an issue, the sheer number of turns and side streets made it easy to get lost. Without someone guiding him, he might have spent ages circling around. The area itself wasn’t particularly upscale, and the buildings showed signs of age. However, the maintenance was impeccable, and the surroundings exuded a quiet charm. Considering Richard Anderson’s profession, Joseph guessed that most of the residents here were likely public servants—teachers, civil servants, and the like. “Turn right up ahead, then left, and then another right. We’re almost there,” Lindsay instructed. “Got it.” Joseph followed her directions, maneuvering the car carefully through the winding streets. A few minutes later, they arrived at a spacious clearing. Ahead, near the roadside, stood a three-story house. The house was sizable, with a well-maintained garden in the front. The

“So, according to you, your Mason Alvarez has a strong sense of ‘romantic ethics’? She’d actually ask permission before stealing someone’s boyfriend?” Joseph couldn’t resist mocking her logic. “Believe it or not, that’s just the kind of person she is.” “Look at the shirt she bought you. Or the way she interacts with you. She’s completely honest and direct with people she’s comfortable with. But not many people get to know her well enough to see that side of her. Sometimes, I think she’s a little pitiful. Someone like her must feel so lonely.” Alice sighed softly, her voice tinged with genuine sympathy. “You’re too kind and too pure for your own good, kiddo.” Joseph chuckled as he reached out to ruffle her hair affectionately. “By the way, tomorrow afternoon, I need to stop by a student’s house to pick up a set of silver needles. I’ll also be staying for dinner. Let me know when your classes end so I can pick you up.” Joseph decided it was best to let Alice know in advance. “Hu

“Can you imagine a woman who doesn’t like shopping, doesn’t enjoy socializing, and spends all her time going back and forth between her office and the lab? That’s Mason Alvarez. She’s incredibly hardworking.” Alice explained with a laugh, but her tone carried genuine admiration for Mason Alvarez. “That may be true, but does that justify buying me this shirt? Is this really something an adult would do?” Joseph gestured at the Mickey Mouse print on his chest, utterly exasperated. “Why don’t you ever buy me something like this?” He shot Alice a pointed look. “Because I’m different. I’ve been observing you since we were kids—I know what you like to eat, what habits you have, and what kind of clothes suit you. I even browse shopping websites sometimes to figure out what styles would look good on you.” “Stuff like this isn’t something you’re born knowing. It takes time and effort.” Alice’s explanation was matter-of-fact, but her tone was warm. “You actually spend time researching t

Watching him leave, Mason blinked a few times, then returned to her work. Ten minutes later, Joseph sent Mason a photo. It was a picture of the shirt she’d bought him. On the right side of the chest was a cheerful, oversized Mickey Mouse graphic. “Professor Alvarez, do you even know how to shop for men’s clothes? What is this? Do you think a man in his twenties should be wearing something like this?” Joseph’s tone was filled with disbelief as he stared at himself in the mirror, his face dark with frustration. “Uh… I guess I don’t. Didn’t I tell you I’ve never had a boyfriend? The only man I’ve ever bought clothes for is my dad.” “You specifically told me not to buy something that looks like something my dad would wear, so I thought I’d go for something youthful. Don’t you think Mickey Mouse is cute?” Mason genuinely thought she’d made a thoughtful choice. “Youthful? This doesn’t make me look youthful—it makes me look childish!” Joseph was utterly exasperated. He was starting

Joseph looked up briefly, noting her troubled demeanor. What was with this woman? She’d gone out looking fine and returned with the weight of the world on her shoulders. As he pondered this, his phone vibrated softly. Joseph casually took a sip of water and picked up his phone, only to freeze as he saw the message on Facebook. “Professor Wilson, let’s go on a blind date.” The words stared back at him. “Pfft—cough, cough, cough…” Joseph choked on his water, nearly spraying it everywhere.“What’s wrong, Professor Wilson?” Mason Alvarez turned to Joseph, her expression all innocence. “Nothing, just choked on some water.” Joseph waved his hand dismissively, clearly exasperated. “Oh, in that case, carry on drinking.” Hearing this, Mason turned her attention back to her work, seemingly unconcerned. “Professor Wilson, would you like me to give you a couple of acupuncture needles? It’ll help you recover in no time,” Brady Rogers chimed in. “No need, thank you.” Joseph waved him o

“Director Myers, you’re absolutely right. But marriage and love are matters of fate, not something you can force. It’s not that I’m unwilling—it’s just that I haven’t met the right person yet.” Mason replied with impeccable politeness. “Not meeting the right person, that’s exactly the problem! You spend all your time buried in your office and the lab—how are you supposed to meet anyone?” “Do you remember when you were studying in Metropolis City? I mentioned our academy’s new hire, Dr. Charles Martin.” “I think you two are a perfect match. And, to be honest, Dr. Martin has a great impression of you. I was thinking of playing matchmaker—maybe set up a dinner, watch a movie, and who knows? Sparks might fly.” Lincoln’s tone was that of a well-meaning elder, full of persuasion. “Dr. Charles Martin? Yes, I remember him. You even showed me his photo before, and I added him on Facebook. I have a vague impression.” “But I’ve really been swamped lately. Dinner and movies will have to wa

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

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
