“An explanation… how am I supposed to explain?”Toby Cooper stammered, his face a mask of confusion and unease.He had never expected Joseph to press him like this—never imagined he could be so relentless.He had come here assuming he was condescending to a lesser family, convinced that the modest Cooper family would fawn over him. Instead, things had taken a turn he could not have foreseen.“You don’t know how to explain? Then I suggest you go home and ask your father.”Joseph flicked his sleeve and turned away, his voice dripping with contempt, anger, and disdain.“Everyone else is unaware of General Eugene Wilson’s death, yet you speak of it with absolute certainty. From the way you speak, it seems his death is connected to you.”“No—more precisely, it is connected to your Metropolis City Cooper family.”“As a member of that family, shouldn’t you provide an explanation for what you’ve just said?”Old Mr. Cooper added calmly, driving the point home.“He keeps insisting that General

He had brought quite a number of men with him, but compared to the Cooper family, they were vastly outnumbered.If a conflict were to erupt now, he would gain nothing from it.“You… you!”Toby Cooper was so furious he could barely speak, and beneath the anger, a flicker of fear crept in.At that moment, Old Mr. Cooper raised his hand again, signaling the crowd to quiet down.“Young man from the Metropolis City Cooper family—if you’ve come here merely to flaunt your power and indulge your sense of superiority, then you may leave at once.”“Do not flatter yourselves. The Metropolis City Cooper family and the Nova City Cooper family have long since gone their separate ways.”“Everything you’ve said is meaningless.”Old Mr. Cooper rebuked him coldly.The others immediately voiced their agreement.“Fine. Then I’ll get straight to the point.”“These are two letters from my father. You may read them.”“You would do well to follow the instructions within. Otherwise… you may come to regret it.

“What Toby Cooper? Never heard of him. There’s no such young master in our Cooper family.”The servant at the door spoke deliberately, feigning ignorance.“What the hell is wrong with you people from the Nova City Cooper family? The young master Toby Cooper of the Metropolis City Cooper family—didn’t I notify you yesterday to prepare a grand welcome? And now you’re playing dumb?”The skinny, monkey-like youth was already convinced that the Nova City Coopers were pretending not to know.“Ridiculous.”The servant moved to shut the door, but the wiry young man quickly stopped him.“Fuck—what exactly are you people trying to pull?”At that moment, Toby Cooper stepped forward. Dressed in garish, flamboyant colors, he carried himself with brazen arrogance.“I don’t know any Toby Cooper. How could I just let you in?”The servant put on an innocent expression.“What’s going on here?”A voice came from inside—it was none other than Uncle Alvarez.“Steward Alvarez, some street drifter is claimi

"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
