The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 267
Before long, the bathroom door opened once again, and Alice stepped out."Joseph, look at my new pajamas! Do they look good?"She called out cheerfully, twirling in front of him.She was wearing a dainty camisole top paired with short sleep shorts, exuding an effortless allure.The outfit perfectly accentuated her figure—her curves were graceful where they should be, and her limbs were slender and elegant.Despite not being particularly athletic, she somehow managed to maintain such a flawless physique. Her fair, toned stomach was completely flat, without a hint of excess fat."Joseph? Why aren’t you saying anything? I asked you a question—did you turn into an idiot?"Alice pouted when she noticed him staring blankly."Ahem… pajamas are meant to be comfortable. That’s what matters."Joseph coughed lightly, trying to sound nonchalant."I asked if they look good!"Alice huffed, crossing her arms."To be honest… yeah, they look great."Joseph glanced at her again and answered truthfully.

After making all the necessary arrangements, he drove to the Cooper family estate.Half an hour later, he arrived.From the moment he stepped inside, he could tell that the Cooper family’s attitude toward him had completely shifted.Just yesterday, he had been nothing more than the worthless live-in son-in-law in their eyes.But now, after saving the old master and earning the respect of top medical professionals, his status had been utterly transformed.As Joseph parked his car at the estate’s entrance and walked through the gates, the household staff greeted him with bows and nods. Even the younger members of the Cooper family, who once looked down on him, now addressed him with respect.Yet, despite this drastic change, Joseph remained indifferent.They had once scorned him—he had felt nothing.Now they revered him—he still felt nothing.Without pausing for small talk, Joseph headed straight for the old master’s room.However, as he rounded a corner on his way to the back hall, a s

"Grandfather, I brought you breakfast and lunch—both tailored for your recovery. Have some breakfast first. Afterward, I’ll check on you and perform an acupuncture session to help with your circulation."As Joseph spoke, he opened the food container he had brought along."You’ve been working hard, Joseph. The Cooper family truly owes you too much," the old master sighed, his voice laden with emotion."But don’t worry—I will find a way to make it up to you. Those who once looked down on you will one day pay the price for their arrogance."His words carried a deep weight."Grandpa, let me feed you," Heidi offered eagerly."No need. You’re such a clumsy girl—let your grandmother do it. Your grandfather may be unwell, but he’s not so weak that he needs to be spoon-fed all the time," the old lady interjected with a kind smile."This is for you," Joseph said, handing Heidi a separate breakfast."Thank you, brother-in-law! You actually brought me some? I only mentioned it in passing—I didn’t

"No, no, that’s not it at all. Everything I said was sincere. Heidi is a wonderful girl, it’s just..."Joseph hesitated, his expression conflicted."You don’t need to say it—I can more or less guess the reason myself,"the old master interjected."Has the Morgan family already proposed to you? And you’ve agreed to it, haven’t you?"His wise eyes gleamed with insight."Grandfather, to be honest, I haven’t formally accepted yet, but I will sooner or later."Joseph gave a sheepish smile, unwilling to hide the truth."That’s not a big issue.""Years ago, you were supposed to be engaged to Old Morgan’s granddaughter. It was only by a twist of fate that I intercepted you.""Of course, you can’t blame me for that. Your master and I had certain agreements, and for various reasons, you became my granddaughter’s husband instead.""Now, since my family failed to hold on to you, it’s only natural that Old Morgan would make his move.""But tell me this—if you can marry Old Morgan’s granddaughter,

"Going back just to argue with them is pointless."Heidi shook her head disapprovingly."Maybe. But I still want to go back. I need to ask her myself—why? Why would she go so far as to harm her own family?"Fiona’s brows furrowed, her expression solemn."It looks like staying in that house is no longer an option. The Greenfield Villa estate belongs to the family—it was only granted to us as a special reward from Grandfather.""Given the current situation, he’ll probably take it back. They’ll have to move back into one of the family’s standard three-story residences.""At least they’ll still have a place to stay—they won’t be left on the streets."Heidi mused, her tone carrying a hint of sentiment."To me, it doesn’t matter where I live."Fiona shook her head, her voice indifferent."It doesn’t matter to you, but what about our parents? Do you think they see it the same way? You know exactly what kind of people they are."Heidi scoffed, pursing her lips."It doesn’t matter what they th

"Molly, I never said I was firing you."Blake took a sip of water, smiling as he spoke.Molly froze.For a moment, she didn’t quite process his words."Then… Chairman?"She struggled to find the right words."You’re overqualified to be my assistant. I’m assigning you to a more important position."Blake stated matter-of-factly."But why? Chairman, I’m fine where I am.""Is this because of Mason? Do you think my presence here is an eyesore?"Molly asked bluntly."No, you’re overthinking it.""Actually, I’ve known about your relationship for two years now. Of course, I don’t know exactly when it started.""So, I placed you by my side to see what kind of woman had caught Mason’s eye—nothing more."Blake’s voice was calm, as if he were simply stating an observation."So… everything was within your control all along.""But why didn’t you ever expose it?""A woman like me… I don’t deserve Mason. If our relationship became public, everyone would think I was reaching beyond my status.""Espec

"You’re free to choose any position within any of the Morgan family’s businesses or companies. You could also relocate to Metropolis City with Mason if you prefer."Blake took a moment to consider before speaking."Thank you, Chairman."Molly expressed her gratitude sincerely."Actually, there’s something else I’d like to ask…"Molly hesitated, as if debating whether to continue."Go ahead, ask whatever you need."Blake encouraged her readily."Does Miss Alice know about my relationship with her father?"Molly asked cautiously."She has always known.""Alice never opposed the two of you. You don’t need to worry. She’s always been mature and understanding of her father’s struggles."Blake answered truthfully."That’s a relief."Molly sighed in quiet relief upon hearing his words."If there’s nothing else, you can return to work. You don’t need to attend tomorrow night’s family dinner.""After all, in Joseph’s eyes, your position in this family is not yet official."Blake added."I unde

"See? That’s exactly why I reminded you."Joseph spread his hands innocently."Reminded me? What do you mean? You were clearly taking advantage of me! And now you’re pretending to be all proper!""You… you don’t like this, do you? Do you think I’m not feminine enough?""No way! Now I have to hold onto you—let’s see what you do about it!"The more Heidi thought about it, the more it didn’t sit right with her. Without warning, she grabbed his arm again—this time holding on even tighter.Great. Now the soft sensation pressing against him was even more pronounced.This girl really didn’t see him as an outsider, did she?He had only meant to give her a kind reminder, yet she had somehow turned the tables on him."Why are you holding on so tightly? What if someone sees us?"Joseph’s face turned an even deeper shade of red as he spoke with embarrassment."So what? There’s no one around."Heidi remained unfazed, continuing to do as she pleased."There will be people in the kitchen."Joseph sa

"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
