The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 41: You're So Good to Me, Brother-in-Law
"Oh! By the way, brother-in-law, I just heard that there was a car accident at the intersection ahead. The road’s blocked, so we might not be able to catch a cab back.""I could probably walk home, but it’ll be a bit tiring. As for you, you might need to find a hotel nearby to stay for the night." Heidi suddenly remembered the news and shared it with Joseph."Cars can leave but not come through?" Joseph was puzzled."Exactly!" Heidi nodded."It’s not safe for you to walk home alone. I’ll drive you back. I came here by car, so no need to walk." Joseph smiled reassuringly."Wait, brother-in-law, you drove here? Where did you get a car?" Heidi blinked, surprised, her curiosity piqued.“That’s my friend’s car. I just borrowed it for the night,” Joseph replied calmly.“Oh, I see. Your friend’s really good to you.” Heidi nodded, then resumed eating. “In that case, you can drive me home. I don’t really like walking alone in the dark—it’s a little scary.”“Even if I didn’t have a car, I

A few moments later, a waiter came over to help Heidi pack up the leftover food. It took quite a while to box everything up, and by the time they were done, they had filled over a dozen containers.Looking at the neatly packed boxes, Heidi couldn’t help but feel a little triumphant.“All packed up already? I just stepped out to use the restroom.” Joseph returned, surprised to see the table so efficiently cleared.“Yep, all done. Hehe, looks like I won’t be going hungry for the next couple of days.” Heidi replied, clearly pleased with herself.“Alright, let’s go.” Joseph picked up a large bag filled with food containers. It was heavy, at least ten boxes inside. Heidi grabbed another bag, which held three or four more.Together, they left the restaurant.“Brother-in-law, isn’t there a parking lot nearby? Why did you park so far away? And it’s kind of secluded—there’s barely anyone around.” Heidi walked beside Joseph, chatting nonstop.“When I got here, the lot was full, so I had to

Without another word, Joseph reached out and grabbed Scrappy by the throat, lifting him clean off the ground with a single hand.Gasps erupted from the surrounding thugs. Eyes wide, they instinctively stepped back, startled by the sheer display of strength.Was this guy even human? Scrappy wasn’t a small man—at 5'10" and about 80 kilograms, he wasn’t exactly easy to pick up. Yet Joseph held him aloft with effortless ease, one-handed."His strength… it’s terrifying." Heidi whispered, her eyes wide with disbelief."Gah! Let me go! You’re killing me!" Scrappy gasped for air, struggling to pry Joseph’s hand from his throat. His face turned crimson, and each word was a battle to get out."If this were three years ago, you’d already be dead." Joseph’s voice was cold as ice. Then, without a hint of effort, he casually tossed Scrappy aside.He turned to walk away.But in a sudden, fluid motion, Joseph spun back and planted a brutal kick into Scrappy’s abdomen.The force of the blow sent S

“Well, Scrappy here wanted to smash my face, right? How about you smash his instead? Keep going until he’s unrecognizable. You’ve got only one chance.” Joseph said, his tone still casual.“Scrappy, man, I’m sorry! I’ve got no choice! If I don’t do this, neither of us is getting out of here!” The blond thug was practically sobbing as he turned to Scrappy and slapped him across the face.Scrappy was stunned, his mind unable to process what had just happened.“Not bad, but your aim and strength need work. Don’t just hit the cheeks—focus on the nose and eyes. Those are the weak points.” Joseph advised nonchalantly.Taking the hint, the blond thug landed two more punches squarely on Scrappy’s nose and eyes, sending stars spinning in Scrappy’s vision.“Sorry, man, I’m so sorry!” The blond thug continued raining down blows, his voice choked with tears.“Good, just like that. Don’t stop.” Joseph nodded in approval.“Brother-in-law, if this keeps up, won’t he end up killing him?” Heidi a

Crash! Raymond hurled the glass in his hand to the floor, shattering it into pieces.“Fuck! Is he an idiot? Doesn’t he have over ten men under him? And they couldn’t handle one Joseph? Joseph even beat him up and escaped?” Raymond fumed, his anger boiling over.“I can’t explain it either. Scrappy’s always been reliable—he’s known for being ruthless and efficient, which is why I chose him for the job this time. They claim it wasn’t their incompetence, but Joseph’s cunning.” Jonathan’s face was burning with shame.“Where is Scrappy now?” Raymond asked.“He’s badly injured. They had to take him to the hospital.” Jonathan replied.“Useless! All of them!” Mr. Kim spat in disgust. He had intended to teach Joseph a lesson, but things had gone completely awry.“Mr. Kim, don’t worry. Once Joseph starts at the university, I’ll have my people deal with him. I’ll make sure he can’t compete with you for Alice.” Jonathan’s eyes glinted with malice.“That’s the only option now. But who are yo

“I can’t eat anymore, or I’ll be overeating.”Heidi suddenly realized the gravity of the situation.“Haven’t you already overeaten?”Fiona shot her a look.“Hehe, true. But even though bro-in-law’s gone, we can still drop by and mooch a meal from time to time.”“Sis, if you’re ever craving his cooking, I can take you along!”Heidi spoke with a mischievous smile.“Take me along? Is that really okay?”Fiona paused, surprised.“Why not? Bro-in-law’s not the type to be stingy.”Heidi shrugged nonchalantly.“No, I’d rather not. I don’t want to see him.”Fiona shook her head.“Alright.”“Oh yeah, sis, I heard that Charles Martin is back. He’s going to be teaching at Nova University. Has he reached out to you?”Heidi asked, remembering something.“He called, but we haven’t met up.”Fiona replied.“Sis, be careful dealing with him. He’s nothing like bro-in-law.”Heidi’s face suddenly grew serious, her tone biting.“You seem to have a strong opinion about him.”Fiona remarked, reading into her

But before he could, a sweet fragrance wafted from behind, and a pair of soft hands covered his eyes."What are you sneaking around for, not sleeping?"Joseph chuckled softly."How could a woman sleep soundly when her man is out late?"Alice's voice was playful, with a hint of mischief."Alright, enough fooling around. Let me turn on the lights."Joseph gently pried Alice’s hands from his eyes and, turning around, patted her head in the dark."Silly, the switch is over here. Let me do it."Alice giggled as she turned to switch the lights on. But before she could take two steps, a strong tug from behind yanked her back by her robe."Ah!"In an instant, she toppled backward toward Joseph.Reacting instinctively, Joseph caught her, and to prevent her from hitting the ground, he adjusted his fall so that Alice landed on top of him.With a sharp shriek, the emergency backup lights flickered on.Thud!Joseph ended up flat on the floor, with Alice sprawled on top of him."Joseph... are you o

Joseph was confused, unsure of what Alice was planning. She was always full of surprises."I won’t open the door unless you turn them off. If you don’t, I’ll stay in here and won’t come out."Alice’s tone suggested she was pouting, determined to get her way.Sighing, Joseph pulled out his phone and turned off all the lights."They’re off."In the darkness, Joseph spoke.Moments later, the door creaked open, and Alice stepped out. In the dim night, Joseph could just make out her shy expression."Joseph, I’ve heard that if a man suppresses his desires for too long, it’s bad for his health."Alice stood before him, her head slightly lowered, her face flushed red as she mustered the courage to speak.Joseph froze, his mind reeling. What on earth was Alice trying to say?"Well, medically speaking, it’s true that suppressing a man’s desires for too long isn’t good for his health."Joseph responded instinctively to Alice's words."Then... close your eyes!"Alice glanced at him nervously, her

"This is a matter between teachers—it has nothing to do with you students!" Charles Martin tried to explain, his voice tense."If it has nothing to do with us, then why did you make it public?" "Exactly! Couldn’t agree more." "A teacher who doesn’t keep his word isn’t welcome at Nova University." "Yeah, own up to your bet!" "..."The voices on the other end grew louder and more chaotic."I’m done talking. I’m hanging up—I have class to get to." Charles Martin ended the call abruptly. There was no point in dragging it out any longer; he knew he wouldn’t win against this mob.He was tempted to just switch off his phone and be done with it.But school policy required teachers to keep their phones on and available during work hours, in case of emergencies or administrative contact.Charles leaned back in his chair, exhausted in both body and mind. He still had no idea who had leaked his personal information to the school forum.Buzz! Buzz!And again, the phone vibrated.Already on e

"Professor Alvarez, you misunderstood. I just didn’t control my volume," Joseph said awkwardly, trying to explain himself."Then why do you always seem so dismissive of me? Why are you constantly arguing with me? Do you have some sort of bias against me?" Mason Alvarez pressed on, clearly aggrieved."You’ve really got it wrong. Honestly, I think you’re a great person—easygoing and down-to-earth. Being around you, I don’t feel the need to put on airs." Joseph replied earnestly."Is that really how you feel?" Mason’s voice softened, her gaze growing gentler."Of course it is. Why would I lie about something like that? I wouldn’t have agreed to help you dodge that blind date otherwise, would I? And besides, you’re close with Alice. Any friend of hers is a friend of mine." Joseph spoke without hesitation."Then, Professor Wilson... why don’t we date?" Mason’s eyes sparkled mischievously as she made the unexpected suggestion.Joseph froze, completely taken aback."Hey, what’s with th

While Mason Alvarez was drowning in embarrassment, Joseph sat at his desk, utterly unfazed, leisurely flipping through documents and browsing references on his computer, as though the chaos around him had nothing to do with him.The sight of his calm demeanor only fueled Mason's frustration.Why was she the one being grilled by Brady Rogers and Felix Baker, while this infuriating man got to sit there, completely untouched by the storm?Fueled by indignation, she abruptly lifted her foot and stomped hard on Joseph’s.“Ouch!”Joseph yelped in pain, turning to her in disbelief.“Professor Alvarez, what the hell?! Why’d you step on my foot?”“Oh, sorry. Totally an accident.”Mason shot him a glare that said otherwise. Joseph was left speechless.“Professor Alvarez, you still haven’t answered Professor Baker’s question.”Brady Rogers reminded her, ever so helpfully.Mason nearly choked. Brady, who usually came off as the quiet one, was now joining the teasing squad? The world had truly gon

The moment Joseph opened the school forum, his screen was flooded with posts about him. Nearly every trending thread pinned at the top was somehow related to him.“Youngest professor cracks a complex medical case!” “Professor Martin’s bet with Professor Wilson—will he really bow and apologize?” “Anyone got Professor Martin’s number? I want to give him a piece of my mind.” “If Professor Martin doesn’t keep his word, no one will take his class ever again.” …Every corner of the forum was plastered with threads, all revolving around Joseph and Charles Martin.He casually tapped into the post asking for Martin’s phone number. A quick glance confirmed his expectations—users had already dug up more than just his number. His home address was exposed too.The replies were brutal.“Looks like Professor Martin’s getting digitally lynched.”Joseph muttered under his breath. Martin probably never imagined his private life would be stripped bare and paraded so shamelessly on the school forum.

"Seven times a week should be fine. Any more than that, and it might be pushing it. Just pace yourself." Joseph said casually. "Seven times a week? That much? Even at my peak, I couldn’t manage that!" Mason Morgan was utterly stunned. Joseph cast him a knowing glance. "Sounds like Uncle Mason wasn’t all that strong to begin with." "You little brat, what nonsense are you spouting now?!" Mason instantly bristled. "Just hurry up and finish writing that prescription. Less talking, more working!" Joseph smirked but didn’t argue. He simply continued writing with quiet focus. One check’s backside wasn’t enough—he had to use a second one to finish. After about twenty minutes, he finally put down his pen. "This one is the prescription, and the other contains the medical instructions. Follow them precisely, and you’ll be fine." Joseph handed both checks to Mason Morgan. Mason scanned them, recognizing a few of the ingredients but not fully understanding their effects. After all, he

"Well, what do you think?" "If that old doctor were more skilled than me, you wouldn’t be sitting here talking to me right now. His prescription clearly didn’t meet your expectations." "That’s why you came to me—hoping I could offer a better solution." Joseph’s words were sharp and precise. Mason Morgan sighed. "That’s true." "But if even that old doctor couldn’t fully resolve my issue, are you sure you can? He seemed pretty capable." His brows furrowed in concern—after all, this was a matter that would affect the rest of his life. He couldn’t afford to take it lightly. "The old doctor does have some skill," Joseph admitted calmly, "but not much." Mason scoffed. "You sure don’t lack confidence, kid." "But talk is cheap. I still don’t know how skilled you really are. You say all the right things, but when it comes down to actual treatment, can you really deliver?" Joseph smirked. "I don’t even need to see it to know what prescription he gave you." "Got a pen and paper? Hand

Joseph took a slow sip of his lemon water, placing the glass back on the table with a composed smile. His unhurried demeanor only served to irritate Mason Morgan. "Kid, you’ve got nothing, huh? I knew you were just full of hot air!" "But I get it. You’re trained in traditional medicine—you don’t understand modern medical practices, so you have no clue how Western medicine would treat my condition." Mason assumed Joseph’s calmness was just a stalling tactic. "Uncle Mason, I’m well-versed in traditional Chinese medicine, but I also have a solid grasp of modern medicine." "To put it plainly, I’ve mastered both worlds, East and West, past and present. In the field of andrology, my mentor was known as the ‘Saint of Men’s Health.’" "I inherited all his teachings, but I didn’t just stop there—I refined and innovated upon them. As a result, I earned the title ‘Little Saint of Men’s Health.’" "And let’s be clear—the ‘Little’ in my title isn’t because I’m inferior to my master. It’s sim

Under Mason Alvarez’s relentless teasing, Alice could do nothing but yelp and struggle. "You’re awful! You’re the worst! Let me go—I surrender! I won’t say anything about you again, I swear! Please, have mercy!" She begged for a while before Mason Alvarez finally relented. By then, Alice was thoroughly disheveled, her breathing uneven as she lay sprawled out on the bed, utterly spent. "Now do you understand the power of your senior?" Mason grinned triumphantly. "You’re nothing but a shameless rogue!" Alice huffed. "Oh? Care to repeat that?" Mason’s eyes narrowed in mock threat. Alice immediately turned her head away, pouting but clearly backing down. "Still, Wilson sure is one lucky man," Mason mused as she gave Alice a once-over. "You look so petite, but who would’ve thought you had such a killer figure?" Alice shot her a glare. "You’re not exactly lacking yourself! You think you were the only one taking advantage just now? I got my fair share too!" Mason chuckled. "Oh? Is

"Oh, stop it! Don’t ask me that—you’re so shameless!" Alice covered her face, utterly embarrassed. Every time Mason Alvarez probed her with these kinds of questions, her cheeks would burn as if set ablaze. "Oh, please! You’ve been living together for so long—who would believe that nothing has happened between you two?" Mason teased with a mischievous grin. "It’s true! Joseph said he wants to wait for the right moment," Alice murmured, her voice growing softer as she buried her face deeper into her hands. "Tsk tsk, waiting for a special moment? Who would’ve thought Wilson was such a traditional man? He really doesn’t seem the type," Mason mused, clearly surprised. "Honestly, I think it’s kind of sweet," Alice said in a hushed tone. Mason draped an arm around Alice’s shoulders, her voice laced with playful mischief. "Listen, little one, a man only truly belongs to you once he’s in your grasp—understand?" Alice blinked in confusion. "What do you mean by that, Mason?" "It’s simpl
