Fiona stood there, momentarily stunned, unsure of how to respond."Fiona, if you truly want to understand Mr. Wilson, I’ll leave you with this: for most teachers, being hired by Nova University is a great honor. But for Joseph Wilson to teach here, it is Nova University that is honored."Geoffrey Harris exhaled slowly before delivering his final, solemn statement.Fiona stood rooted in place, her mind reeling from the weight of his words, unable to fully process what she had just heard."Fiona Cooper, instead of standing here questioning a man you clearly don’t know, perhaps it would be better to set aside your preconceptions and return to class. Listen carefully to what Mr. Wilson has to teach. This lesson might be more important than you realize.""And if you open your mind, you might just discover a very different Joseph Wilson—someone who is charismatic, knowledgeable, and far more remarkable than you ever imagined. Engaging with him is like being refreshed by a gentle spring bree

"It’s a bit unfortunate that I won’t be teaching you permanently. If I were more than just a substitute, your courses would include not only theoretical lessons but also practical training.""As future doctors, you need to face patients and illnesses directly. Clinical experience is far more valuable than any theory."Joseph took a sip of water, speaking casually."Mr. Wilson, could you co-teach with Professor Sanchez? I feel like clinical training with you would be fascinating.""Yeah, yeah, talk to Professor Sanchez! We’d love to have you teach us more!""I really appreciate your unique way of thinking, Mr. Wilson. It’s always so refreshing...""..."The students eagerly expressed their hopes and wishes."Thank you for your kind words. However, the courses I’ll teach in the future will be determined by the school’s scheduling.""We’ve been at this for over an hour now. Let’s take a short break and resume afterward."Joseph checked the time and addressed the class.With that, he pick

Heidi sent two long messages in quick succession, but Joseph’s expression remained indifferent as he glanced through them."Is that so?"He responded with just three words."Brother-in-law, why are you so calm? Are you messing with me? You’re really teaching Leonard Sanchez’s class on your first day?"Heidi still found it hard to believe."Wait a minute—brother-in-law, my sister’s here today! Professor Sanchez is her graduate advisor. Are you teaching her right now?"Suddenly, Heidi seemed to realize something outrageous."Uh, yes, I saw her."Joseph didn’t hide the truth."Wow! What was her reaction? I can’t even imagine it—she’s always thought you were a complete failure."Heidi sounded rather amused."That was then. Things are different now. Back then, she was my wife; now, she’s just another student. Don’t worry, I won’t go out of my way to make things difficult for her.""Besides, I’m only substituting."Joseph chuckled softly."Brother-in-law, how about we grab lunch together?"

"It’s just a friend’s phone that I’m borrowing for now. Is there something you need, Fiona? If not, I should head back to class—it’s almost time."Joseph forced a polite smile, trying to keep the conversation brief."Joseph, seeing you here today—it’s unbelievable. You might have fooled everyone else, but you can’t fool me.""Come on, be honest. What underhanded methods did you use to sneak your way into Nova University?"Fiona’s eyes locked onto Joseph, her voice sharp as she demanded answers.Joseph could only smile helplessly at her words."And if I told you I got into Nova University through legitimate channels, would you believe me?"He asked, throwing the question back at her."Do you really think I could believe you?" Fiona shot back, her tone sharp."If you don’t believe me, then why bother asking? You’re free to think whatever you want.""But even if I did swindle my way in, it has nothing to do with you."Joseph found her persistence absurd. They were divorced, yet she seeme
The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 65: Discussions in the Surveillance Room
"We’ll talk about it over lunch. I need to get back to class."Fiona had no interest in continuing the conversation and promptly ended the call.As the dial tone echoed in Heidi’s ear, she let out a frustrated sigh."What the heck? Hanging up just like that? What’s her problem?"Heidi grumbled to herself.By then, class had already resumed. Joseph’s second lecture was now in full swing, and this time, it was much more focused than the first. Nearly all the students were diligently taking notes, fully immersed in the lesson.Joseph, noticing the rapt attention in the room, couldn’t help but feel satisfied.Meanwhile, on the seventh floor of the administrative building, Geoffrey Harris stepped out of the elevator. With his hands clasped behind his back, he strolled leisurely toward the teaching surveillance room. His mood seemed quite good.As he approached the monitoring room, he ran into Christopher, the supervisor, who was just walking out."Ah, Christopher, perfect timing. I was jus
The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 66: He Could Rival Professor Sanchez
"Indeed, this Wilson is quite the rising star.""Seems like Sanchez is eager to mentor him. If you hadn’t spoken up first, I would’ve tried to claim Joseph for myself."The room buzzed with conversation."Jimenez, stop with your passive-aggressive remarks. You say you aren’t competing, but you're just trying to pressure the principal into giving Joseph to you."Professor Jimenez scratched his head awkwardly with an embarrassed grin as Sanchez shot him a displeased look."Hahahaha..."Geoffrey Harris couldn't help but laugh heartily at the banter."Principal, what are you laughing at?"Everyone was puzzled."I’m afraid none of your plans will work out!"Geoffrey Harris said, his face full of mystery."What do you mean?""Principal, are you thinking of mentoring Joseph yourself?""Now that would be favoritism, Principal."The professors were clearly unsettled."You misunderstand. This Wilson—he’s no ordinary teacher. Despite all our years of academic achievements, I doubt any of us here
The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 67: Don't Forget... The Tissues
In Room 302 of the second teaching building, Joseph was in the middle of an impassioned lecture, captivating his students with every word. Though the subject wasn’t particularly groundbreaking, his approach and perspective were refreshing, and the students hung on to his every word."Now that we’ve covered the relationship between medicine and dietary health, I hope you all have a better understanding of how important nutrition is. After all, eating is something we do every day.""After this class, I encourage you to try adjusting your family’s diet. Who knows, over time, you might solve some of the minor health issues among your loved ones.""The reason I’m suggesting this is simple: everything I’ve taught you so far is theoretical, but I believe theory must be paired with practice. Without practical application, theory is nothing but empty talk.""What we’re learning is knowledge, and knowledge must be transformed into productivity."Joseph’s words resonated deeply with the students

"Then what else do I need to do to learn the technique?" the student pressed."You need discipline. You need to conserve your energy, fortify your core, strengthen your tendons and bones, and, above all, cultivate a man’s inner strength," Joseph replied.At this, the entire class burst into laughter."Thank you, sir! I’ll definitely remember your advice," the student said, scratching his head with an embarrassed grin."If anyone is interested in learning this technique, feel free to approach me after class. I can share some training methods with you," Joseph said, glancing around the room."Um... sir, did you forget about me? Could you please remove these needles?" The student, who had now been needled nine times, was on the verge of tears."Don’t worry, I haven't forgotten you. I never needle someone without a reason—there’s always a purpose," Joseph said, smiling as he looked at the student."W-what’s the reason?" the student asked, his voice filled with dread."The reason is simple

“Huh? What did you say? Joseph can play the piano? How come I didn’t know that?”Alice’s voice was filled with genuine surprise.“You didn’t know either?”Mason Alvarez was equally taken aback. Joseph might have forgotten things, but Alice—his childhood friend—surely wouldn’t be unaware.After all, the two of them had grown up together.“Nope, I had no idea! But honestly, Joseph knows so many things, it wouldn’t surprise me if he could do anything.”“And he’s always been so low-key. Unless absolutely necessary, he never shows off his talents.”“Ugh, this Butterfly Lovers performance was so beautiful... and he’s never played a single note for me!” Alice grumbled, clearly annoyed.“The concert’s almost over. You’ll be getting your man back soon,” Mason quickly replied.“You better be right. [Bored.jpg]”Alice sent back a curt message, and Mason didn’t reply further.Just then, a waiter finally arrived with hot water. Joseph took a few sips and felt much better.“Mr. Wilson, it’s almost

"Thank you for the offer, Mr. Zasit," Joseph said with a faint, bitter smile, "but I’m afraid I must decline.""I have a deep love for music, but the piano is only a hobby for me. I’ve never intended to pursue it as a lifelong career."The host translated Joseph’s response in real time, and Zasit’s face registered visible shock."Oh! What a pity," Zasit exclaimed, stunned. "You possess extraordinary talent. You should be shining on the world's grandest stages."He was clearly taken aback. It was hard for him to imagine anyone turning down his invitation."Is he insane? Do you know how many musicians would kill for such an opportunity?""If Zasit ever recognized me, I'd probably laugh myself awake from the dream.""Still, I suppose Mr. Wilson has earned the right to choose. If Zasit himself calls him gifted beyond compare, how many people in this world could match that praise?"The crowd buzzed with astonishment and admiration.“My performance is over, and I’ve done what I came here to

“Mr. Zasit met the love of his life when they were just sixteen. At the time, he was penniless but hopelessly devoted to music.”“She supported his dream unconditionally. To make ends meet, she worked tirelessly, taking on odd jobs just to feed him.”“But when he finally achieved fame and success, tragedy struck—she fell gravely ill and passed away in his arms. He watched helplessly as the light faded from her eyes.”“Mr. Wilson’s music stirred memories long buried deep within him, transporting him back to those difficult yet beautiful days. For a fleeting moment, he saw her radiant smile again.”“That’s why he lost control of his emotions. He asked me to express his sincerest apologies to everyone here.”With those words, the host concluded Zasit’s story and bowed respectfully to the audience.The hall erupted once more in thunderous applause.Off to the side, Lewis Craig stood frozen, his face contorted in embarrassment. He gritted his teeth.What the hell just happened? How is this

Joseph didn’t respond immediately. Instead, he took a moment to consider.“Since Mr. Craig has chosen a foreign love song, I will also choose a love-themed classic from Elysia.”“I’ll play the piano piece Butterfly Lovers.”He spoke calmly, but with conviction.“Butterfly Lovers? What an outdated, cliché piece. How utterly provincial,” Lewis Craig sneered, scoffing with disdain under his breath.“Oh, Butterfly Lovers? I know it. I’ve heard it... it’s beautiful!”Zasit, after a moment’s struggle to catch the key words in Joseph’s sentence, suddenly lit up. In his excitement, he blurted out one of the few phrases he knew in Elysian.“Sir, I know this piece. It’s famous—a tragic love story. If you can perform it, whether it’s perfect or flawed, my journey today will be complete.”He spoke in French, his Elysian heavily accented and broken, clearly limited in vocabulary.“Mr. Zasit said he knows the piece Butterfly Lovers and is familiar with its sorrowful tale of love,” the host translat

The host, clearly at a loss under Joseph’s instruction, turned instinctively to Lewis Craig for guidance.“Translate it, obviously! Why are you looking at me like that? I didn’t understand a word they said either!” Lewis Craig frowned, irritation flashing across his face. He was beginning to suspect the host was not the brightest.“You want me to translate word for word?” The host muted his mic and asked.“Isn’t that obvious? If you don’t translate it properly, how the hell am I supposed to know what they said?” Lewis Craig was nearly seething. He was tempted to kick the man off stage. Where did the organizers find this genius? Completely clueless.Following the instruction, the host began translating the exchange between Joseph and Zasit for the audience.As the audience listened, surprise and admiration rippled through the hall. Suddenly, Joseph’s earlier evasiveness about his memory made perfect sense.“Before I begin,” Joseph said, addressing the room in fluent French, “I nee

To be fair, Lewis Craig did possess a certain level of skill. The audience listened to his performance with slight nods of approval. Even Zasit and the other musicians seated at the side of the stage leaned toward one another, whispering softly, occasionally nodding in affirmation.Clearly, even Zasit acknowledged Lewis Craig’s competence.As he played, a smug smile crept onto Lewis's face. To him, the audience’s approval was a given. But what truly delighted him was the idea of humiliating Joseph. I’ll openly express my admiration for his companion right before his eyes and treat him like air. Let’s see how he handles that.With this petty triumph burning in his chest, he felt as if divine inspiration was guiding his fingers.Time flew by, and the relatively long piece Ballade pour Adeline came to an end. As the final notes faded, the hall erupted into applause. Many of the musicians, led by Zasit, rose to their feet to clap for Lewis Craig.Lewis stood, offering a modest nod to the

"Mr. Wilson, this Zasit guy... he does sound pretty good. Is he really famous?" Mason asked curiously.Joseph glanced at Mason Alvarez but said nothing."Mr. Wilson, I’m talking to you. Is he famous? Do you know him?" Mason pressed again."I forgot," Joseph replied, as indifferent as before."Again with the forgetting. Your memory’s really something." Mason huffed, then gave up and turned her attention back to the music.To be fair, Zasit’s performance was exceptional. Even to someone like Mason, who had little musical training, the melodies were captivating. Each time he finished a piece, the hall erupted in thunderous applause and cheers—a testament to his extraordinary talent.After performing three or four consecutive pieces, Zasit paused to address the audience."Is he speaking French? My French is terrible. It all sounds like ‘zee zee waa waa’ to me. So confusing!" Mason said with a helpless frown."He said he’s delighted to be with everyone tonight. His name is Zasit, and

At that moment, Joseph walked over. Mason Alvarez immediately rushed to his side, slipping her arm through his like a delicate bird seeking shelter, as if she were purposefully declaring her claim in front of Lewis Craig."Who's this? A friend of yours?" Joseph asked casually."Not really. Just a passerby. He said he's the vice president of the Nova City Piano Association." Mason replied with a shake of her head, her tone honest and plain.Upon hearing that, Lewis Craig's face darkened further. Not really? A passerby...?"Charming lady, didn't you say you were waiting for a girlfriend?" Lewis asked, a hint of irritation in his voice."That's right. He's my girlfriend. My bestie. Don’t be fooled by the outer appearance—he might look like a man, but deep down, he’s a woman at heart. We’ve always seen each other as sisters." Mason replied with an awkward smile and a playful shrug."Ms. Alvarez, are you insane?" Joseph was speechless after hearing her explanation. This woman could sa

"Professor, what’s this?" Mason Alvarez looked at the crumpled tickets in Felix Baker’s hand, momentarily unable to make out what they were."There's a concert tonight at 7:30 on the rooftop of Westfield Shopping Centers," Felix explained with a smile. "Several renowned orchestras and musicians are performing. I thought you two might enjoy it.""These are VIP tickets — took quite some effort to get them. After dinner, head up and enjoy the show." "As for me, this old man will be heading home to see your teacher’s wife.""$2,980 each? These tickets are that expensive?" Mason stared at the price in disbelief."What's a little money? Take them. I’ve paid for dinner too — got a discount with my membership." "Now I’ll leave you two alone. Enjoy the evening."With that, Felix turned and walked off."Professor..." Mason called after him, but he didn’t look back.Holding the tickets, she furrowed her brows, her emotions tangled. Her teacher had gone above and beyond for her — truly li
