Ahem—"Joseph, you're really something. You saw right through me," Alice said with a light cough. "This was actually put together by a classmate of mine—she’s a genius with computers."She wasn’t ready to tell Joseph about the bounty she had posted online. "What do you plan to do with this information?" Joseph asked again. "I’ll either submit it to the school, or hand it over to my grandfather. He can choose to take it to Mr. Harris or go directly to the police. Now that we have this evidence, it’ll be much easier to trace whoever's behind all this."Alice thought for a moment before answering. "Sounds like a good plan," Joseph nodded. "Then it's settled. I’ll have my grandfather pass it on to Mr. Harris—or the police." Alice beamed, closing her laptop with a satisfied smile. "Joseph, I’m heading to bed now. It’s getting late." She stood up, gave Joseph a quick kiss, and walked out with her laptop in hand.---The next morning, Joseph didn’t have any early classes, but since A

"Yeah, I thought the same," Heidi agreed earnestly. "So right now, the important thing isn't proving what they're saying is false, but uncovering who these people are—and who's pulling the strings behind them.""Honestly, we should just report it to the police. Let them handle it," Fiona said, frowning slightly. "The school already did. But I'm helping him gather evidence—it'll speed up the investigation," Heidi replied matter-of-factly, munching on potato chips."So this is the evidence you've collected?" Fiona asked, leaning in for a closer look. "Exactly. As long as what they're doing involves the internet, I can track it down—where it came from, and all sorts of related info," Heidi said confidently."Helping him is fine. But don't cross any legal lines—there are things you simply can't do," Fiona warned."Oh, come on. I know what I'm doing. Relax. I'm just using a few methods to gather information," Heidi said, a bit impatiently. "I wouldn't even dream of touching a bank's tr

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
