"Fine, I get it. I’ll save his contact, alright?"

Under Blake Morgan’s insistence, Mason had no choice but to comply.

It was just a phone number—nothing major.

He pulled out the check with Joseph's number scribbled on it and tucked it behind his driver’s license. This way, it wouldn’t get lost.

He didn’t even bother saving it in his phone.

To him, Joseph was just spouting nonsense. How could he possibly have a serious health issue?

That phone number was as good as useless.

No—more than that. It was completely unnecessary. A man should have confidence in his own body.

"Let’s go. We’re done talking. Once you've made your decision, we can see about arranging a family dinner."

With that, Blake Morgan turned and started walking back. Mason hesitated for a moment before following.

A few minutes later, the two returned to the villa.

At that moment, Joseph and Alice were still tidying up the dishes.

"Joseph, your Uncle Mason and I are heading out. We won’t disturb you two any longer."

    Even if she didn’t get paid, at least she’d be doing something to support Joseph.With that thought, Heidi immediately followed Dorothy’s forum account and took a screenshot of the post.She then searched for the most popular slander threads, copied the usernames and links of each original poster, and opened a few "unusual" programs. Lines of code began scrolling across her screen, complex characters and data flooding the interface.To an outsider, it might have looked like meaningless gibberish—but to Heidi, a tech-savvy computer whiz, the data was full of valuable information.IP addresses. Device fingerprints. Partial user information.Once she found a few entry points, she pressed forward confidently. In her eyes, unmasking the person behind the smear campaign wasn’t just possible—it was inevitable.---8:00 PM.

    Though only two years older, she often felt like a protective big sister. While Joseph had his own kind of wisdom, Mason Alvarez had the seasoned tact of someone well-versed in navigating the world."Good. If you need anything, just say the word. I’m heading off now."With a few more reminders, she hung up.After ending the call, Joseph noticed a flood of messages on his Facebook—Geoffrey Harris, Leonard Sanchez, Brady Rogers, Felix Baker—nearly every colleague he knew had reached out.> "Mr. Wilson, I tried calling but your line was busy. You’ve seen what’s happening on the forum, right? Some students have already reported it to me. The school will take action."> "I’ve instructed the relevant departments to preserve evidence. Whoever’s behind this is basically handing us a case on a silver platter."That was from Geoffrey Harris.Joseph replied with a quick thank-you.Leonard Sanchez had sent a much longer message:> "Mr. Wilson, I’ve already informed the principal.

    "Most people won’t believe it, but there are always a few students who can’t think for themselves and get swept up in the noise.""And the posts—they come with 'evidence.' Photos showing you beating up an old woman, stealing a cane from an elderly man..."Alice's voice was thick with concern."Those images are clearly doctored. Some are so absurd—like someone’s thigh photoshopped onto an arm. And the resolution? Looks like something out of a bootleg VHS."Joseph shook his head in disbelief.He casually scrolled through the comments beneath the posts. The replies were overwhelmingly one-sided.> "So what if he’s a live-in son-in-law? His marriage is his own business. Posting Mr. Wilson’s private life like this is a violation of his privacy. You little troll—expect a lawyer’s letter soon."> "What kind of fantasy fiction is this? Mr. Wilson is elegant and refined—he’d never do such things."> "Do you think we’re idiots?"> "What a joke. Out of nowhere, a flood of ridiculous posts trying

    "I'm sorry. I didn’t think it through at the time," Charles Martin muttered, biting his lip, his face flushed with shame."Mr. Martin, Nova University brought you in with a high salary—not to play political games," Lincoln Myers said with a weary sigh. "Please focus more of your energy on teaching. According to recent student feedback, your performance has been... mediocre at best.""Though I’m the head of the School of Modern Medicine, I must admit—Joseph’s teaching far surpasses yours."Joseph’s reputation had spread like wildfire throughout the medical school. Even students from the modern medicine department often flocked to attend his lectures.As much as Lincoln disliked Joseph on a personal level, he couldn’t ignore the facts laid before him. In truth, he had begun to regret initiating the investigation in the first place.Over the course of the inquiry, he had noticed gaps in Joseph’s personal history—but his academic background, credentials, and sheer volume of published

    "I'm your big ghost, you must have a death wish!"Mason Alvarez snapped as she listened to Joseph’s shameless words. She seized his arm and twisted it hard."Agh! That hurts!"Joseph cried out in pain, his face flushing as a sharp ache shot through his arm.Seeing the sudden change in his expression, Mason Alvarez quickly let go, her face tinged with panic."Mr. Wilson, are you okay? Did I go too far? I didn’t mean to hurt you that badly."She had only meant to teach him a lesson—just enough to make him squirm a little. She hadn’t realized she might have overdone it."How about I twist your arm and see if you think it hurts?"Joseph shot her an exasperated look."You're always the one getting the upper hand and still acting like you're the victim."Mason Alvarez pouted, visibly annoyed."Alright, enough. Back to work."Joseph rubbed his aching arm and waved her off."Oh right, Mr. Wilson—how did it go?"Mason Alvarez suddenly remembered. She had been half-asleep earlier and had comple

    “Exactly! Even if you wanted to look, he might not let you!”“Wait, are you saying there’s some kind of... secret hidden on his backside?”The bus erupted into laughter and murmurs. For some inexplicable reason, everyone became unreasonably curious about Joseph’s posterior.Had Joseph known that a group of respected elders were openly and passionately discussing his backside, he likely would’ve coughed up blood on the spot.“Ahem! Quiet, everyone,” Eryndor Vexley cleared his throat, calling for order. “Let’s hear what old Mrs. Barrett has to say. I’m sure she has her reasons.”The bus grew silent again. All eyes turned to the elderly lady, waiting for her explanation."That boy Joseph—back when he first joined the Academy, I remember he once had a nasty bout of hives. I was the one who treated him," said Old Mrs. Barrett, clearing her throat and speaking in a calm, measured tone."While examining him, I noticed a red birthmark on the right side of his backside."At that, the room fina
