"What do you mean by that, Father? Today’s matter concerns the vital interests of our Cooper family. As members of this family, how could we possibly stay away?""Look—even Joseph is here. How could we not be?"Hugh Cooper, the second son of the Cooper family, said with an ingratiating smile."Now that’s not quite right, Jianren. What do you mean ‘even Joseph is here’? Our Cooper family has prospered all these years entirely because of him. Anyone else may be absent, but Joseph cannot be. We simply cannot do without him."Hugh Cooper’s wife quickly corrected him."Yes, yes, my mistake—I spoke poorly. Compared to our former nephew-in-law, what are we, really?"Hugh Cooper said with exaggerated courtesy, his face full of flattery."The family business has been thriving lately, largely thanks to our former nephew-in-law. Matters within the family should be discussed with him more often."At this moment, Bernard Cooper, the third son, spoke up.Standing beside the old master, Joseph remai

"I understand. Don’t worry."Listening to Mason Alvarez, Joseph felt a quiet warmth stir within him.The two chatted along the way as they headed home.During this period, Mason Alvarez would occasionally return to his own place, but more often than not, he stayed with Alice.Given the nature of their relationship, living together no longer felt the least bit awkward.Joseph had just arrived at the villa and stepped out of the car when he received a file from Neil Foster.The document was clearly information on Wayne Gutierrez and Toby Cooper. Joseph gave it only a cursory glance at first, without delving into the details.It wasn’t until he returned inside that he read it carefully from beginning to end.After reviewing the file, he gained a much clearer understanding of both Wayne Gutierrez and Toby Cooper.He had known of them before, but never with the depth and precision outlined in the report.According to Neil Foster’s findings, Wayne Gutierrez was a remarkably astute individua

"Grandfather is getting old. This family truly needs a man who can step forward.""Joseph would undoubtedly be the most suitable… unfortunately, he is no longer my grandson-in-law.""We’ll inform him later."Old Mr. Cooper sighed."Mr. Wilson isn’t a petty man. As long as we ask, he’ll help with anything."Heidi said."But under what pretext? He is no longer my grandson-in-law."Old Mr. Cooper replied helplessly."Grandfather, why are you always fixated on the idea of a grandson-in-law?"Heidi said awkwardly."If the Cooper family wishes to go further in the future, we must rely on Joseph.""Only if you or your sister become his woman will the bond between the Cooper family and Joseph become unbreakable.""That’s how I see it—and the Morgan family thinks the same.""But fate rarely follows our calculations."Old Mr. Cooper sighed again, his tone filled with resignation."All this calculating—didn’t you say matters of the young should be left for them to decide?""Enough. Let’s eat. Yo

“This Nova City branch of the Cooper family may not be as grand as our headquarters in Metropolis City, but it’s passable.”“Still, it’s nothing more than a backwater. The scale and refinement fall short.”Outside, the scrawny young man walked in with his hands clasped behind his back, following Uncle Alvarez into the rear hall.“You’re nothing but a servant, yet you dare strut about here? If that foul mouth of yours doesn’t shut, don’t blame me for forgetting my manners.”Uncle Alvarez shot him a fierce glare.The young man had been about to retort, but the moment their eyes met, a chill ran through him. His bravado faltered.“Ahem… ahem…”He cleared his throat, putting on a composed front to mask his unease.After that warning, he didn’t dare say another word.Though he served the Cooper family of Metropolis City, he was, after all, on чужой ground—better not invite trouble.He told himself that once the young master arrived, there would be plenty of time to humiliate this Nova City

At those words, the hall erupted into prolonged applause, echoing for nearly a full two minutes.Joseph even gestured for quiet, but the clapping continued unabated.Only after a minute or two did it gradually subside.“I believe most of you already know me, so I won’t bother with a formal introduction.”“Thank you all for such a warm welcome. This is my first time teaching at Westside Hospital, so if there’s anything I don’t do well, I hope you’ll be patient—and feel free to point it out.”Joseph looked across the room, offering a few polite remarks.“Professor Wilson, you’re too modest. Having you teach here is a blessing for all of us.”“Exactly! Now we don’t have to sneak over to the traditional medicine department and listen through the windows.”“Even listening through a window would be worth it—there are students from other schools outside who don’t even get that chance!”“…”The students responded enthusiastically.“I won’t dwell on pleasantries any longer. Let’s move on to th

After waiting for a while with no reply from Joseph, Heidi gave up.She put away her phone and skipped back, clearly in a good mood.It wasn’t until Joseph got home that he saw Heidi’s messages. He replied casually, chatted with her for a bit, and then turned to other matters.The night passed quickly.At a little past eight the next morning, a flight from Metropolis City landed at Nova City International Airport.About half an hour later, Wayne Gutierrez emerged from the arrival gate with his entourage.Behind him were officials of various ranks from Metropolis City. Their trip had been deliberately low-key—almost incognito.At that moment, a young man dressed in loud, gaudy colors stepped out as well.He looked to be in his early twenties, his face brimming with arrogance, as though nothing in the world deserved his regard.As soon as he exited, he scanned the area and quickly spotted Wayne Gutierrez ahead. He strode over in a rush.“Hey, Wayne Gutierrez, what’s your problem? I told
