"Oh! By the way, brother-in-law, I just heard that there was a car accident at the intersection ahead. The road’s blocked, so we might not be able to catch a cab back."

"I could probably walk home, but it’ll be a bit tiring. As for you, you might need to find a hotel nearby to stay for the night."

Heidi suddenly remembered the news and shared it with Joseph.

"Cars can leave but not come through?"

Joseph was puzzled.

"Exactly!"

Heidi nodded.

"It’s not safe for you to walk home alone. I’ll drive you back. I came here by car, so no need to walk."

Joseph smiled reassuringly.

"Wait, brother-in-law, you drove here? Where did you get a car?"

Heidi blinked, surprised, her curiosity piqued.

“That’s my friend’s car. I just borrowed it for the night,” Joseph replied calmly.

“Oh, I see. Your friend’s really good to you.”

Heidi nodded, then resumed eating. “In that case, you can drive me home. I don’t really like walking alone in the dark—it’s a little scary.”

“Even if I didn’t have a car, I

    Just then, a transfer notification popped up.> “Your friend Dorothy has sent you $50,000.”Pfft!Heidi nearly sprayed tea all over her phone.Just like that? She actually paid up?She had expected a bit of haggling—a round of back-and-forth before the money arrived. But this girl sent the full payment without blinking.Heidi quickly typed:“??”Dorothy responded almost immediately:> “What, you think that’s not enough?”"Huh? No, it’s not that it’s not enough. It’s just... this money was way too easy to earn. Are you sure the stuff I submitted is really that useful?"Heidi replied in her usual blunt manner.Despite growing up in luxury, she’d always been frugal. In

    Alice grinned, clearly proud of herself.“Well then, if you know how she feels, why do you keep inviting her over?” Joseph asked, exasperated.“I can’t just hurt her feelings, can I? I’m not going to lose a best friend over a guy, and I don’t want you to lose a good colleague either.”“Besides, I trust her. And I trust you.”“She deserves at least a little piece of our affection,” Alice said solemnly.Joseph blinked. “Well... when you put it that way, I guess that’s fair.”“But now I really want to know—what kind of rules did you set for her?”He couldn’t help but laugh. This girl’s logic really was in a world of its own.“No hugging, no kissing, no sneaky touches—at most, she can hold your han

    Then her father leaned in, eyes gleaming with curiosity.“Sweetheart, are you still seeing that Professor Wilson?”“Of course. He just left. I walked him to the elevator,” Mason answered nonchalantly.“What?! He’s not your boyfriend? Why didn’t you let him stay the night?” Her father’s tone turned urgent, while her mother’s face twisted into something between agony and disbelief—like her daughter had just turned down a billion-dollar lottery ticket.“Mom, what are you talking about? He’s a grown man—how could he just sleep over at my place? That’d be so inappropriate!” Mason Alvarez sighed, exasperated.“He’s your boyfriend. What’s inappropriate about that?” her father chimed in without missing a beat.“Oh, come on, Dad, Mom—I’m not even sure what’s going on between me and Professor Wilson yet!” “What if we don’t get along in the end? Wouldn’t I be at a huge loss?” Mason tried her best to explain, though her heart was anything but calm. As if she didn’t want Joseph to stay the nig

    “I believe you? Not a chance!” Mason Alvarez grumbled, nearly hurling the mirror in her hand at Joseph.“Well, if you don’t believe me, forget it. Want to throw water on me too? Then we’ll be even,” Joseph said with a helpless smile.“Oh, don’t tempt me—I will pour water all over you,” Mason retorted without hesitation.“Go ahead then. Once we’re even, let’s never bring it up again,” Joseph chuckled.“No way. I won’t let it go that easily. I want you to remember what you did to me. I’m keeping this little piece of leverage for life,” Mason said smugly.She couldn’t quite explain it, but ever since meeting Joseph, strange and intimate moments like this kept happening between them. Maybe this was what people meant by fate?She glanced at Joseph thoughtfully, her mind wandering.Joseph just smiled and focused on driving.Alice’s place wasn’t far from Mason’s apartment—barely a seven or eight-minute drive.Soon, they arrived at the foot of her building.“Come on up, Professor Wilson,” Ma

    “What precious treasure? I have no idea what you're talking about! Let me go!”Alice struggled against Mason, clearly flustered.“You said it last time!” Mason pressed, unwilling to let the matter drop.“I was talking about the plush toy Joseph won for me at the amusement park! It’s right there—see it for yourself.”Alice glanced toward the corner of the room.Following her gaze, Mason turned and saw the stuffed toy on a shelf.“This? You already told me about this! So this is your so-called ‘precious treasure’? I thought it was something... else.”She released Alice, but her gaze slyly drifted downward—settling on Alice’s ample chest with a look so roguish it made Alice instinctively cross her arms.Something about Mason’s eyes always felt suspiciously

    “We’ve watched quite a few of Professor Wilson’s lecture videos before,” Gerald Ortiz said candidly, “but this time, we’re fortunate enough to be here at Nova University in person.”“So, a few of us discussed it and thought—why not sit in on one of his classes ourselves?”Geoffrey Harris hesitated, a flicker of unease flashing across his face as his mind raced through the possible implications.“Old Ortiz, in principle, there’s no issue with attending his lectures. It’s just… Professor Wilson has recently been entangled in some troubling matters,” he said tactfully.“Oh? You mean the incident on your university’s forum? You’re worried it might cloud our judgment of him?” Ortiz asked straightforwardly.“You’re aware of that too?” Harris looked rather
