It wasn’t until Joseph had completely disappeared from view that Heidi finally turned her attention back to the mess on the table, quickly tidying everything up. Once she was done, she grabbed her belongings and headed off to class.At around two o’clock, Joseph found himself knocking on Geoffrey Harris’s office door.“Who’s there?” came Harris’s voice from inside.“It’s me, Joseph,” he responded.“Ah, Mr. Wilson! I thought you might come later, but here you are, bright and early,” Harris said warmly as he opened the door and welcomed Joseph inside.“I didn’t have much else to do, so I came early. I hope I’m not interrupting your time off?” Joseph replied with a smile.“Not at all. Come in, have some water.” Harris handed Joseph a glass before continuing, “It’s work hours now, so you’re not interrupting anything. Give me just a moment, I’ll call Brady and have him join us.”Harris poured Joseph some water, then returned to his desk to make the call. Joseph took a seat and sipped from

“Mr. Wilson, I’ll take you to handle the rest of your onboarding paperwork,” Brady said after glancing through the contract.“Alright, but give me a few minutes. I need to use the restroom first,” Joseph said, standing up.“Of course, Mr. Wilson. I’ll wait for you here,” Brady replied, adjusting his black-rimmed glasses.Joseph nodded and left the room.After Joseph left, Brady looked once more at his signature on the contract. “This handwriting... I’ve seen it somewhere before.”“That wouldn’t surprise me,” Harris said, taking a sip of water. “Maybe you saw it earlier today. Think back—you might remember where.”“Earlier today?” Brady frowned, deep in thought. He pondered for a while before a flash of realization crossed his face.“I’ve got it! The notice board by the west gate, in the Mathematics Department. This morning, someone posted a manuscript there—a new proof for Stokes’ Theorem. It’s caused quite a stir in the department. Everyone’s been speculating about who wrote it.”“So
The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 87: This Prescription Is Too Complex
29 Garden Road was home to a small pharmacy. Despite its modest storefront, the pharmacy’s primary business wasn’t retail. Behind it lay one of the largest storage warehouses for medicinal herbs and semi-processed medicines in Nova City, owned by the Cooper family.Though the prescription Joseph had given her didn’t contain any rare or expensive herbs, it did list a large number of ingredients. Given the variety, Heidi had decided to come to this particular pharmacy to fill the prescription.However, as she approached the entrance, she noticed a “Closed” sign hanging on the door.“Excuse me, miss, all our pharmacists are unavailable today. If you need medication or herbs, you might want to try another pharmacy or come back another day,” called a young man’s voice from inside the shop as Heidi pushed the door open, ignoring the sign.“Is that so? Funny, I didn’t hear anything about 29 Garden Road being closed when I checked with my family,” Heidi said, her eyes scanning the room.The y

“Because the ratios were lost, I can’t be sure whether the measurements on this prescription are correct,” Mr. Barrett explained, clearly intrigued.“Well, my doctor friend gave it to me, so I’m sure it’s trustworthy, right?” Heidi blinked, a bit uncertain.“I can tell from reading this prescription that the person who wrote it really cares about you. He must be someone you trust deeply, someone very close to you,” Old Mr. Barrett said, smiling as he glanced at the paper again.“Huh? How can you tell that?” Heidi asked, her curiosity piqued.“This prescription will brew into a slightly bitter decoction, but not unbearably so. However, the person who wrote it added a large number of auxiliary ingredients to improve the taste.”“Following this prescription, the medicine will taste sweet, with a pleasant fragrance. Not only will it regulate your body, but it will also aid digestion and soothe the stomach.”“Whoever wrote this clearly knows your palate well. I’m guessing you can’t stand b

“I wonder which lucky man will end up with someone as wealthy, beautiful, and kind as Miss Heidi,” the shop assistant said with a wistful sigh.“Well, it certainly won’t be you, so you can stop dreaming,” Mr. Barrett teased, unable to resist a good-natured jab. “Didn’t you see how she looked just now? It was written all over her face that her heart belongs to someone already.”The shop assistant sighed dramatically. “Ah, Mr. Barrett, you should get back to your work. I’ll manage here by myself,” he said, his tone filled with a playful sense of defeat.Chuckling, Mr. Barrett shook his head and headed back to the storage area, leaving the young assistant to his daydreams at the front desk.Meanwhile, after nearly two hours of paperwork and running around, Joseph and Brady Rogers had finally completed Joseph’s onboarding process. With only a few minutes left before 4:30, they were now on their way to the conference room.“That was close, Mr. Wilson. We almost didn’t finish everything bef

“Mr. Wilson, over here, please. This is Professor Patricia Roberts, one of our deputy heads,” Brady said, guiding Joseph to the front and introducing him.“Professor Roberts, this is Mr. Joseph Wilson, our newest faculty member,” Brady continued.Professor Roberts was an elderly woman in her sixties or seventies, slightly plump but dressed elegantly. She had a warm and approachable demeanor, and when she saw Joseph, she stood up and extended her hand.“Mr. Wilson, it’s a pleasure. The principal has already told me about you. You’re quite impressive for someone so young—you might be the youngest professor in the history of our university. Welcome,” she said with a kind smile.“Thank you, Professor Roberts. It’s an honor to meet you,” Joseph replied with a polite smile, shaking her hand.“You’ve already met Professor Abel Jimenez,” Brady added, introducing the other deputy head.“Welcome again, young man,” Jimenez said warmly as he stood up and gave Joseph a firm handshake, grinning fro
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

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
