“Are you out of your mind? What nonsense are you spouting?”Heidi couldn’t help but rap Lillian Morvek twice on the head. She understood perfectly well what the girl was implying, and her cheeks flushed faintly.“How is that nonsense? I’m just giving you two some time and space alone.”Lillian protested, rubbing her head.“Time and space, my foot. I don’t even have time tomorrow—my parents’ trial is scheduled, and my sister and I have to be there early.”Heidi shot her an exasperated look.“Then you should head back early. No matter what, as family, it’s best that you’re present.”Joseph said after hearing Heidi.“Of course we’ll be there.”“But it doesn’t really change anything. My sister told me the lawyer’s preliminary estimate—my dad will get at least three years. As for my mom, it’ll be more severe—no less than ten.”“That’s already with the victim saved. If you hadn’t intervened and ensured the girl wasn’t permanently harmed, my mom might never have seen the outside world again.

“Yes.”Heidi answered without hesitation.“Then why is this bell with Lillian? Where did this pair of bells come from? Can you explain it to me?”Joseph’s mind was crowded with questions.“It’s a long story—I’ll walk you through it.”Heidi straightened slightly and began her explanation.She recounted the entire history of the bells in meticulous detail—who had given them to her, how she had lost one, and how the other had ended up in Lillian Morvek’s hands.Throughout it all, Lillian simply nodded, confirming every word.After listening, Joseph found himself caught in a tangle of emotions—part bewilderment, part reluctant amusement.“So what you’re saying is… the one who saved me back then was you. And if you had produced this bell at the time, the one I would have married wouldn’t have been your sister—but you. Is that right?”Joseph said with a faint smile.“Yes—”“No, no!”“I was only sixteen or so back then—still a child. How could I possibly have married you?”Heidi hurriedly co

“Have you been here long?”Joseph walked over, pulled out a chair, and took a seat.“Not at all, cousin-in-law—we just got here and placed our order!”Lillian Morvek replied promptly.“By the way, brother-in-law, you’re trending all over Twitter again today.”After ordering, Heidi had already started scrolling through her phone.“What can I do about that?”Joseph said with a trace of helplessness.“Cousin-in-law, if I get into Nova University next year, I’m definitely applying to your department.”Lillian declared with unwavering determination.“Lillian Morvek, can you stop daydreaming? If you want to enter his program, you’ll be competing against the top students in the entire country. Do you really think you’re on that level?”Heidi deliberately tried to deflate her.“The college entrance exam hasn’t even happened yet—how do you know I don’t have what it takes? What if I outperform myself when it counts?”“Besides, I’ve always been pretty lucky.”Lillian retorted stubbornly.“When a

“I just wrapped things up. What’s up—need something?”Joseph replied plainly.“Then you don’t have any other plans tonight, right?”Heidi pressed.“Yes and no.”“Does going home for dinner count as a plan?”Joseph paused, then answered.“That doesn’t count, because I’m inviting you to dinner.”“And I’ve already told Alice—you’re having a late-night meal with me tonight.”Heidi declared, leaving no room for negotiation.“What time is it right now? This is dinner, and you’re calling it a late-night snack?”Joseph couldn’t help but complain.“Oh, it’s all the same. Food is food.”“Anyway, Lillian and I are on our way to the ‘Usual Place’ barbecue restaurant—the one we always used to go to. Get over here!”“Lillian Morvek is leaving in a couple of days. She happens to be free tonight, so we’re dragging you out for a meal.”Heidi spoke as if his agreement were already settled.“…Alright then.”“You really told Alice, right?”Joseph asked again.“Of course I did. Seriously, are you that afr

“Whether as an educator or in any other capacity, all my work is tied to medicine and scientific research.”“I believe these roles you’ve mentioned won’t interfere with my primary duties—if anything, they will reinforce one another.”“Moreover, my focus will always remain on teaching. As the head of Dragon Soaring Group, unless under exceptional circumstances, I won’t be directly involved in the company’s day-to-day management.”Joseph responded with calm composure.What followed was a barrage of questions from the press. The conference stretched on for over two hours.At last, it came to an end.Afterward, Joseph, Blake Morgan, Fiona, and the rest toured the new company’s headquarters.By the time all engagements were completed, it was already five in the afternoon. Joseph returned to his car, ready to head home.Just then, Neil Foster called. Joseph answered without hesitation.“Young Master, are you done for the day?”Neil’s voice came through the line.“I was just about to head ho

The moment the three of them appeared, flashes erupted across the venue in relentless waves.At the front of the stage stood three separate podiums, each equipped with a microphone.“Joseph, take the center. Today, you’re the main attraction.”Blake Morgan murmured, subtly guiding Joseph to the central podium.“Thank you.”Joseph replied softly, immediately understanding Blake’s intention—he was being placed in the lead to preside over the conference.“First, my sincere thanks to all members of the press and esteemed colleagues present today.”“It is my great honor to have received the full support of both the Morgan Group and the Cooper family. After careful deliberation and mutual agreement, we have decided to establish a joint venture—Dragon Soaring Group.”“Dragon Soaring Group will focus primarily on the medical field, building upon it to develop, produce, promote, and distribute new pharmaceuticals.”“It aspires not only to become a leading force in Elysia’s healthcare industry,
