One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight…Eight digits. Starting with a "1," followed by seven zeros.That was ten million. Ten million dollars in pocket money."Uncle Mason, this is... way too much." "Ten million dollars? For pocket money? Who could possibly spend that much?" Joseph was at a loss. The Morgans, it seemed, had a habit of throwing around absurd amounts of money at the drop of a hat."It’s not too much. That’s about right. If there’s one thing the Morgan family doesn’t lack—it’s money." "And money? It’s meant to be spent." Mason Morgan declared with the nonchalance of someone born into wealth."Uncle Mason, I really can’t accept this. Please, take it back." Joseph gave an awkward smile, clearly uncomfortable."Kid, I know you’ve been through hard times. I know what it was like for you in the Cooper family." "This ten million is for you—to spend, to enjoy. You’ve suffered enough. Isn’t it time to live a little?" Mason patted Joseph on the shoulder."Uncle M

"So? How’s my treasured vintage?" Blake Morgan asked with a grin, clearly proud of his wine.Joseph was the first to speak. "The aroma is mellow, and the texture smooth. I can tell—it’s a vintage treasure, aged for many years." He smiled as he gave his verdict."Haha... Joseph knows his wine!" Blake Morgan beamed, clearly pleased with the compliment."Father, you wouldn’t give me even one jar of this wine before. Now you’ve brought out two? That’s a miracle!" Mason Morgan chuckled, obviously in high spirits. He had been coveting his father’s private stash for years."You rascal, don’t start scheming. Give it once, and next comes the second, then the third!" "That’s why—not even a single jar!" Blake’s tone was firm and unyielding."Come on, Dad. Stingy much? I’m your own son!" Mason looked exasperated."Even for my son, the answer is no." Blake waved him off. His treasured collection was his pride and joy—he barely drank it himself."Come, another toast!" Blake raised his gla

"Joseph, don’t mind her—this child just talks nonsense sometimes." "You brewed Mason's medicine so fragrantly that it made her greedy for more. She’s been pestering me ever since, asking you to prescribe her something too. Just ignore her rambling." "If you keep this up, young lady, I won’t bring you next time." Molly looked visibly embarrassed. Her daughter had always been bold and fearless—something even she couldn't control. But with so many people present, spanking her with a cane was clearly out of the question. "It’s fine. A child with a good appetite is a healthy child. A healthy appetite means a healthy body." "Come on, Aunt Molly, Uncle Mason, Mr. Blake, Leah—everyone, please have a seat. All the dishes are ready. Let’s begin." Seeing that everyone had arrived, Joseph called everyone to the table. "Leah, why don’t you give Joseph’s cooking a try? It might taste even better than that fragrant herbal brew." Joseph sat down with a smile. "Really? I could smell it from

Ahem—"Hasn't the situation changed a little?" Mason Morgan cleared his throat, a glint of sly amusement in his eyes. "What situation?" Blake Morgan asked with a frown. "Well, maybe not a change in the situation, per se. It's just that I've come to see Joseph in a new light." "He's capable—no doubt about that. Considering all aspects, he might just barely be worthy of my daughter." "And besides, the two of them are clearly in love. What good is my opposition? Since it’s futile, I might as well enjoy being a father-in-law." Mason straightened up as he spoke, his tone half-joking, half-serious. "You look much better today—less tired, more spirited," Blake observed, scrutinizing his face. "You noticed too, Dad?" Mason's eyes lit up with joy. Was his good health already so apparent? "Your mindset has improved as well. You look better, feel better—you even seem younger," Blake added. "Haha, is it really that obvious?" Mason couldn't help but laugh. Blake’s words clearly pleased h

“Chauffeur service? Of course!”“Miss Cooper, did you forget? Last time, it was one of our drivers who brought your car home.”“Our average customer spends over a thousand per visit—we offer complimentary chauffeur service. After all, most of our guests come here to drink.”The waitress blinked at the question, then quickly replied.“I’ve had wine, so I won’t be driving. Have the chauffeur take my car back to the Cooper estate. And bring the two unopened bottles of wine along as well.”Fiona dabbed at her mouth with a napkin and replied calmly.“Certainly, Miss Cooper.”“Will you be riding with the car?”The waitress asked again.“No, I’ll take a cab to the office. I have some work to finish.”Fiona placed her keys on the table, then headed toward the front to settle the bill.“She’s really changed, hasn’t she? Doesn’t badmouth her husband anymore…”“Well, they’re divorced now—what else is there to say?”The waitress muttered to herself, storing the keys before returning to her duties
Chapter 404
“Fiona, I have to say, sometimes you really go too far.”“He was still your husband in name, and he saved your life. Treating him like that…”“If I were a man, I couldn’t have taken it either. I’d have divorced you too.”Hannah spoke with a forced smile.Fiona listened in silence, her heart a tangled mess of emotions. They hadn't said anything like this before. But now that everything had changed, so had their tone—their perspective, their priorities.“Weren’t all of you the ones who encouraged me to get a divorce in the first place?”Fiona’s smile was faint, her face emotionless.“That was then. You have to look at the situation now.”“Seems like you really can’t help with my brother’s issue. And you’re right—your ex-husband would never do you that favor.”“Better I go ask him myself.”Hannah’s expression was awkward. She’d always referred to Joseph as a "sister’s husband," and now that she was trying to switch sides, she didn’t want to seem too heartless. So she kept pretending.“Tr
