The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 212
“So, that’s what this is all about,” Philip remarked, a touch of understanding in his voice. “Don’t you think having such an outstanding grandson-in-law would be wonderful?” Laura said, her smile shy and anticipatory. The mere thought of Joseph Wilson becoming her son-in-law was enough to make her giddy. “Do you think I haven’t thought about that?” Philip replied with a sigh. “But it all depends on what our girl is capable of. A young man like Professor Wilson—do you think he doesn’t have women lining up for him?” “That’s exactly why we have to help her! Father, you and he are both in the medical field—invite him over more often. That room of yours, it’s time to put it to good use,” Laura coaxed earnestly. “As if I needed you to tell me that. I’ve already thought of it,” Philip scoffed. “You think I don’t see through your little schemes? That girl of yours—when she looks at Professor Wilson, her eyes practically sparkle.” “This is the first time I’ve ever seen her look at a man l

Hearing the voice messages, Joseph directly called Alice back, switching to speakerphone as he drove. The call connected almost instantly. “Hello? Joseph, are you home yet?” Alice’s crisp and melodious voice came through the line. “I’m already on my way,” Joseph replied, his hands steady on the wheel. “Did you get it?” Alice asked eagerly. “Yes, I got it. Everything went smoothly, no issues,” Joseph assured her. “How much did it cost? I was worried you’d need money and kept waiting for you to contact me,” Alice said, her voice tinged with concern. “It didn’t cost anything. The student’s parent owed me a favor, so they gave it to me as a gift,” Joseph explained with a slight chuckle. “That’s quite generous,” Alice said, sounding surprised. “It’s a valuable item—something money can’t easily buy. It’s pure luck I managed to find such a good set of silver needles,” Joseph added, his tone relaxed. “Well then, drive safely. We’ll talk more when you get home,” Alice said sweetly. “
The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 1: The Unfaithful Wife
Today was Fiona Cooper's birthday.Reflecting on the countless humiliations he had endured over the past three years, Joseph Wilson had little affection for his wife, Fiona Cooper. However, as husband and wife of three years, it was her birthday today, so Joseph Wilson still bought a bouquet of flowers, intending to pick her up from work at the entrance of Cooper Group.It was laughable that, as a live-in son-in-law for three years, his wife in name had never looked him in the eye. They had always slept in separate rooms, and he had never even touched Fiona Cooper's hand.Fiona Cooper never allowed Joseph Wilson to appear at the company, so every time Joseph Wilson came to pick her up from work, he would stand far away and wait for her to come out. This time was no exception.However, what Joseph Wilson did not expect was to see his wife walking out of the Cooper Group building, arm in arm with a man."Charles, why are you back so suddenly?""I finished my business abroad and missed y
The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 2: Divorce
Joseph drove towards Cooper Group.The Cooper Group belonged to the Cooper family, the biggest family in Nova City. Three years ago, it wasn't, but in these three years, the Cooper family had developed very rapidly, leaping to become Nova City's top family.After about half an hour, Joseph Wilson finally arrived near the Cooper Building. He parked the car in front of a secluded alley and called Fiona Cooper."Fiona, I'm here, at the usual place."Joseph Wilson said after the call connected."I know. How many times do I have to say it? Don't call me Fiona. Call me Fiona Cooper." Fiona Cooper's disgusted voice came from the other end."Okay, Fiona Cooper. I'm here, waiting for you at the usual place."Joseph Wilson repeated his words.The other end immediately hung up. Joseph was used to this. Moreover, he had already made up his mind. It was time to leave.About ten minutes later, Joseph saw a tall, beautiful, fair-skinned woman walk out of the Cooper Group building. The woman was nat

Thereafter, the three chatted idly. Joseph was full of questions, but he didn't get much useful information from Alice Morgan and Blake Morgan.After about half an hour, Blake Morgan's car drove into a luxurious villa neighborhood and stopped in front of a detached villa."Mr. Wilson, please," Blake Morgan got out of the car and personally opened the door for Joseph.The three entered the villa's hall. The interior decor of the villa could be said to be quite extravagant. At first glance, even Joseph was shocked.It was clear from this that Blake Morgan's identity was quite extraordinary. However, Joseph couldn't remember his master having a friend named Blake Morgan at all."Mr. Wilson, now that you have left the Cooper family, following your master's instructions, I will provide you with whatever assistance I can. Is there anything you need help with?" Blake Morgan poured Joseph a glass of water and asked meaningfully."I need a job and a place to live, that's all. Of course, if pos

After leaving the villa, Joseph was pulled by Alice to the underground parking garage.The garage housed dozens of cars, the least of which were luxury vehicles like Maseratis, demonstrating immense wealth."Mr. Joseph, you seem quite unhappy. Experiencing marital changes in middle age is indeed difficult to accept. But someone as outstanding as you will surely meet a better woman in the future." Alice held Joseph's arm, her breasts intentionally or unintentionally brushing against it, making Joseph feel out of place.He had never had such close contact even with his wife in name."Thank you. I'm fine," Joseph said with a wry smile."Joseph, I have a question I want to ask you." Alice released Joseph's arm, her demeanor and tone somewhat restrained."Hmm? What question?" Joseph instinctively asked."Do... do you think I'm pretty?" Alice bit her lip, mustering her courage to speak. As she uttered these words, her face flushed crimson, and she tightly grasped the hem of her clothes, her

"Joseph, what are you talking about? Money isn't an issue. Grandpa said to take good care of you, especially when it comes to money.""Joseph, you don't want Grandpa to blame me for not taking care of you, right?" Alice pouted her lips and said with a grin."Um, alright then!" Joseph felt somewhat speechless upon hearing this."I'll go tidy up the room, and then we can go out together. I do have some things I need to buy," Joseph said after a moment of hesitation."Okay, I'll tidy up my room too." At the mention of tidying up the room, Alice's pretty face blushed slightly. If she had cleaned her room properly earlier, Joseph wouldn't have seen that scene.Would Joseph think she was an improper girl? With this thought, Alice felt somewhat uneasy.Joseph agreed and left. Entering a girl's room felt a bit strange, but since Alice had pulled him in earlier, he had no choice.It was also funny to think that despite being married to Fiona Cooper for three years, he had never even entered he

"Joseph Wilson, what are you doing here?" Fiona walked over upon seeing Joseph."What a coincidence. I'm here to buy a couple of outfits!" Joseph said with a faint smile."Buy clothes? Do you know what kind of place this is? The shirts here start at $1,000. Can you afford the clothes here?" Hearing Joseph's words, Fiona's gaze became even more disdainful. She had previously thought this man was just mediocre, but she didn't expect him to be such a braggart.During the three years in the Cooper family, Joseph either did housework at home or went elsewhere to do odd jobs to earn some pocket money.But the little money he earned was definitely not enough to afford the clothes here."Ahem... Miss Cooper, we're already divorced. Whether I can afford it or not doesn't seem to have anything to do with you," Joseph coughed lightly, neither humble nor arrogant."Joseph, stop pretending. I don't even want to point it out. You're stalking me, right?""Joseph, let me tell you, we're already divor

"If you’re able to bring them, that would indeed be ideal. Their unique storage needs make them difficult to transport," Joseph replied, his gaze briefly sweeping across the room full of silver needles."Professor Wilson, I’ll let Mrs. Cooper know tonight that we’ll be visiting Old Mr. Cooper on Saturday. Since we were once his primary physicians, she’s unlikely to refuse," Philip said confidently."That’s fine, but please don’t mention that I’ll be coming. There are… many complicated factors involved. You can simply go under your own names," Joseph instructed."Don’t worry, Professor Wilson. We won’t say a word about you," Tristan assured him."Good. Aside from the Graceful Water Needles, I’ll also need two sets of standard silver needles. If it’s convenient, I’d rather not go out and purchase them," Joseph said directly, not bothering with formalities."That’s no trouble at all. Just pick out two sets from the wall," Philip replied generously."Then I won’t stand on ceremony," Josep

"The needles stored in flames are imbued with pure yang energy; those encased in ice are infused with pure yin energy. As for the flowing water, it represents the ultimate balance of strength and gentleness. The needles preserved in water are both smooth and delicate, yet sharp and unyielding," Joseph remarked as he examined the three sets, his tone thoughtful."Professor Wilson, you truly have a discerning eye," Philip said, impressed."The needles kept in flames are called the Forged Flame Needles. As the name suggests, they were repeatedly forged and tempered in intense fire.""The ones encased in ice are the Eternal Ice Needles. During their creation, they were soaked in a special medicinal solution for forty-nine days, then sealed in ice for another forty-nine days to preserve the medicinal properties.""This process was repeated nine times, imbuing each needle with nine layers of medicinal efficacy that are highly beneficial to the human body.""As for the needles in flowing wat

"If I’ve said I’ll teach you, then of course it exists," Joseph replied with a reassuring smile."Professor Wilson, come with me. I’ll show you my silver needle collection," Philip Anderson said, pulling Joseph by the arm as they left the apothecary. It turned out that the silver needles were not stored in the same room but in a separate, more secure location.Seeing this, Richard Anderson followed after them, but Lindsay had already finished wrapping the herbs and exited the apothecary with Tristan Flores.Under Philip Anderson’s guidance, Joseph was led to the third floor. They stopped in front of a locked room, and Philip carefully retrieved a key to unlock the door."Lindsay, Old Flores, and Professor Wilson, come on in.""Richard, you stay out!" Philip said abruptly, turning to his son."What? Dad, why? You never let me into this room. Now you’re letting everyone else in, but not me?"Richard Anderson looked utterly bewildered."You’re not a doctor. What would you even do in here

"Exactly, Professor Wilson. This ability is incredible. I’d love to learn it myself. How did you manage to train such precision?" Lindsay asked, her face full of eager curiosity."It’s not something you deliberately train for," Joseph explained with a faint smile. "If you handle enough herbs over time, you naturally develop a sense for their weight.""Like water wearing down stone or an iron rod being ground into a needle—if you dedicate yourself to something wholeheartedly, over time, you’ll reach heights you never imagined possible.""The key lies in ‘dedication.’ You must focus your heart and mind on feeling the weight of the herbs."Joseph’s tone was calm yet carried a profound wisdom, his words striking a chord with everyone present."What a beautiful lesson in focus and devotion," Philip Anderson said with admiration, his eyes filled with respect."Sir, the truth is, I came here today to borrow a set of silver needles. Has Lindsay mentioned this to you?" Joseph asked, steering t

"Old Flores is right—this is an incredible stroke of fate," Joseph said with a faint smile, his tone tinged with a hint of wonder. "The fragments in this ancient text, combined with the incomplete formula passed down by my master, have come together to form a complete prescription.""I never expected such a coincidence to exist in this world."His words left everyone astonished."Isn’t that something? It seems our family and Professor Wilson are deeply connected by fate. Who would’ve thought that, though I’ve never met your master, I’ve already shared a profound connection with him through his work!"Philip Anderson’s voice was filled with emotion, his excitement almost palpable."Sir, please keep this prescription for yourself. As a fellow physician, I won’t bother explaining the finer details. Simply follow the listed ingredients and dosages, and it will suffice," Joseph said casually, his tone lighthearted."Professor Wilson, please come with me," Philip Anderson suddenly said, gra

"Naturally!" Philip Anderson immediately turned to Lindsay Anderson and said, "Lindsay, fetch the pen, ink, and paper!" Lindsay nodded obediently and quickly retrieved the requested items, placing them neatly on the table. "Professor Wilson, please enlighten us!" Philip Anderson gestured invitingly, his respect for Joseph evident. "Then I shall do my best." Joseph picked up the brush, dipped it lightly in ink, and began to write on the blank sheet of paper. He preferred to write prescriptions with a brush, believing that medicine was not only a science but also an art. To him, prescribing medicine and saving lives were acts of profound significance, deserving of a certain ceremonial reverence. As Joseph wrote the names of the first two ingredients, the room collectively gasped in astonishment. "Professor Wilson, your handwriting is extraordinary!" Richard Anderson couldn’t help but blurt out, visibly impressed. Even Philip Anderson and Tristan Flores were captivated. The stren

"I’ve just had more opportunities to practice over the years. It’s nothing worth mentioning," Joseph replied modestly. "Professor Wilson, how about giving us a demonstration?" Tristan Flores suddenly suggested. "A demonstration? What do you have in mind?" Joseph asked with a smile. "Professor Wilson, Richard just got out of the hospital. How about you check him over to see if there’s anything else wrong with him? Let us witness your skills firsthand." Philip Anderson’s tone carried a hint of anticipation. "Sure, that’s simple enough," Joseph agreed with a slight smile. "Great! Professor Wilson, please take a good look at me. Let me know if there’s anything I need to watch out for so I don’t run into trouble later," Richard chimed in, immediately sitting down in front of Joseph. Joseph reached out, ready to take Richard’s pulse. But just as he was about to begin, Philip Anderson interrupted him. "Hold on, Professor Wilson. Let me go first." "I haven’t taken his pulse since h
