He turned to find a stranger approaching him."Why aren’t you in class? Is there something you need?"Geoffrey asked, puzzled."Mr. Harris, my name is Fiona. I’m a graduate student under Professor Sanchez, and I’m very confused right now."Fiona was slightly out of breath, clearly in a hurry."What’s troubling you? Perhaps I can help."Geoffrey nodded, indicating for her to continue."Mr. Harris, do you truly know who Joseph is?"Fiona’s expression was serious as she spoke."Are you suggesting you know Joseph better than I do?"Geoffrey raised an eyebrow, sensing something unusual in her words."Mr. Harris, I’m certain I know Joseph far better than you do."Fiona’s voice was resolute."Oh? And what makes you say that? If you truly know Joseph, then enlighten me—how well do you know Mr. Wilson?"Geoffrey’s curiosity was piqued. There seemed to be more to this than he had initially thought."Joseph is my husband. I know everything about him. Based on what I know, he has no qualification

Fiona stood there, momentarily stunned, unsure of how to respond."Fiona, if you truly want to understand Mr. Wilson, I’ll leave you with this: for most teachers, being hired by Nova University is a great honor. But for Joseph Wilson to teach here, it is Nova University that is honored."Geoffrey Harris exhaled slowly before delivering his final, solemn statement.Fiona stood rooted in place, her mind reeling from the weight of his words, unable to fully process what she had just heard."Fiona Cooper, instead of standing here questioning a man you clearly don’t know, perhaps it would be better to set aside your preconceptions and return to class. Listen carefully to what Mr. Wilson has to teach. This lesson might be more important than you realize.""And if you open your mind, you might just discover a very different Joseph Wilson—someone who is charismatic, knowledgeable, and far more remarkable than you ever imagined. Engaging with him is like being refreshed by a gentle spring bree

"It’s a bit unfortunate that I won’t be teaching you permanently. If I were more than just a substitute, your courses would include not only theoretical lessons but also practical training.""As future doctors, you need to face patients and illnesses directly. Clinical experience is far more valuable than any theory."Joseph took a sip of water, speaking casually."Mr. Wilson, could you co-teach with Professor Sanchez? I feel like clinical training with you would be fascinating.""Yeah, yeah, talk to Professor Sanchez! We’d love to have you teach us more!""I really appreciate your unique way of thinking, Mr. Wilson. It’s always so refreshing...""..."The students eagerly expressed their hopes and wishes."Thank you for your kind words. However, the courses I’ll teach in the future will be determined by the school’s scheduling.""We’ve been at this for over an hour now. Let’s take a short break and resume afterward."Joseph checked the time and addressed the class.With that, he pick

Heidi sent two long messages in quick succession, but Joseph’s expression remained indifferent as he glanced through them."Is that so?"He responded with just three words."Brother-in-law, why are you so calm? Are you messing with me? You’re really teaching Leonard Sanchez’s class on your first day?"Heidi still found it hard to believe."Wait a minute—brother-in-law, my sister’s here today! Professor Sanchez is her graduate advisor. Are you teaching her right now?"Suddenly, Heidi seemed to realize something outrageous."Uh, yes, I saw her."Joseph didn’t hide the truth."Wow! What was her reaction? I can’t even imagine it—she’s always thought you were a complete failure."Heidi sounded rather amused."That was then. Things are different now. Back then, she was my wife; now, she’s just another student. Don’t worry, I won’t go out of my way to make things difficult for her.""Besides, I’m only substituting."Joseph chuckled softly."Brother-in-law, how about we grab lunch together?"

"It’s just a friend’s phone that I’m borrowing for now. Is there something you need, Fiona? If not, I should head back to class—it’s almost time."Joseph forced a polite smile, trying to keep the conversation brief."Joseph, seeing you here today—it’s unbelievable. You might have fooled everyone else, but you can’t fool me.""Come on, be honest. What underhanded methods did you use to sneak your way into Nova University?"Fiona’s eyes locked onto Joseph, her voice sharp as she demanded answers.Joseph could only smile helplessly at her words."And if I told you I got into Nova University through legitimate channels, would you believe me?"He asked, throwing the question back at her."Do you really think I could believe you?" Fiona shot back, her tone sharp."If you don’t believe me, then why bother asking? You’re free to think whatever you want.""But even if I did swindle my way in, it has nothing to do with you."Joseph found her persistence absurd. They were divorced, yet she seeme
The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 65: Discussions in the Surveillance Room
"We’ll talk about it over lunch. I need to get back to class."Fiona had no interest in continuing the conversation and promptly ended the call.As the dial tone echoed in Heidi’s ear, she let out a frustrated sigh."What the heck? Hanging up just like that? What’s her problem?"Heidi grumbled to herself.By then, class had already resumed. Joseph’s second lecture was now in full swing, and this time, it was much more focused than the first. Nearly all the students were diligently taking notes, fully immersed in the lesson.Joseph, noticing the rapt attention in the room, couldn’t help but feel satisfied.Meanwhile, on the seventh floor of the administrative building, Geoffrey Harris stepped out of the elevator. With his hands clasped behind his back, he strolled leisurely toward the teaching surveillance room. His mood seemed quite good.As he approached the monitoring room, he ran into Christopher, the supervisor, who was just walking out."Ah, Christopher, perfect timing. I was jus
The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 66: He Could Rival Professor Sanchez
"Indeed, this Wilson is quite the rising star.""Seems like Sanchez is eager to mentor him. If you hadn’t spoken up first, I would’ve tried to claim Joseph for myself."The room buzzed with conversation."Jimenez, stop with your passive-aggressive remarks. You say you aren’t competing, but you're just trying to pressure the principal into giving Joseph to you."Professor Jimenez scratched his head awkwardly with an embarrassed grin as Sanchez shot him a displeased look."Hahahaha..."Geoffrey Harris couldn't help but laugh heartily at the banter."Principal, what are you laughing at?"Everyone was puzzled."I’m afraid none of your plans will work out!"Geoffrey Harris said, his face full of mystery."What do you mean?""Principal, are you thinking of mentoring Joseph yourself?""Now that would be favoritism, Principal."The professors were clearly unsettled."You misunderstand. This Wilson—he’s no ordinary teacher. Despite all our years of academic achievements, I doubt any of us here
The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 67: Don't Forget... The Tissues
In Room 302 of the second teaching building, Joseph was in the middle of an impassioned lecture, captivating his students with every word. Though the subject wasn’t particularly groundbreaking, his approach and perspective were refreshing, and the students hung on to his every word."Now that we’ve covered the relationship between medicine and dietary health, I hope you all have a better understanding of how important nutrition is. After all, eating is something we do every day.""After this class, I encourage you to try adjusting your family’s diet. Who knows, over time, you might solve some of the minor health issues among your loved ones.""The reason I’m suggesting this is simple: everything I’ve taught you so far is theoretical, but I believe theory must be paired with practice. Without practical application, theory is nothing but empty talk.""What we’re learning is knowledge, and knowledge must be transformed into productivity."Joseph’s words resonated deeply with the students

Just as expected.The next moment, Heidi rose on her tiptoes and planted a fierce kiss on Joseph's lips, her arms locked tightly around his neck, leaving him no room to resist.A soft, warm sensation entered his mouth, and the girl’s delicate fragrance overwhelmed his senses. Joseph froze on the spot, his entire body turning rigid.Only after a bold and reckless kiss did Heidi finally release him."Hiss! You bit my lip—it's bleeding!"Joseph looked genuinely confused. He touched his lips and found blood."That’s the only way to make sure you remember. To make sure you never forget what you just said."Heidi rolled her eyes at him, her voice full of indignation."By the way, I can’t call you 'brother-in-law' anymore. Maybe I should call you 'Professor Wilson' like everyone else does.""I used to call you 'brother-in-law' because I was afraid of completely losing the last shred of connection between us.""But now... we have a new kind of relationship, don’t we?"Her cheeks flushed sligh

“To win over your stupid heart, of course. Satisfied now? Come on, let’s eat!”Heidi grabbed Joseph’s hand and tugged him toward the dining hall.Truth be told, her cooking had improved remarkably—so fast, in fact, that it caught Joseph off guard. He had once claimed that people who disliked cooking rarely had a talent for it. Clearly, he had been wrong.Though her dishes weren’t exactly gourmet, they were undoubtedly tasty—and far better than anything Charles Martin, the so-called alchemy master, could conjure up.Maybe this is what they call talent.After the meal, Heidi continued to cling to Joseph’s arm, insisting on walking him to the door.She always did this—Joseph had grown used to it by now.But this time, halfway there, she suddenly veered off course and led Joseph into a small courtyard tucked within the vast Cooper estate.It was well-maintained, yet bore the quiet stillness of a place long uninhabited. The Cooper family’s ancestral home was expansive, with many such seclu

But upon hearing Joseph’s words, old Mr. Cooper could only shake his head once more.“I don’t know how he was injured. He never showed me his wounds, so I have no idea what kind of injuries he sustained,” he explained. “But he did tell me himself that he was hurt. And judging from his complexion, he certainly looked like a man gravely wounded and weakened.”“My master didn’t die of old age or natural causes. It’s very likely that his injuries were too severe… and he succumbed to them.”“Was there really nothing I could’ve done to save him back then?” Joseph let out a long sigh. His face darkened, as if a heavy stone had settled in his chest.A sense of helplessness gnawed at his spirit.And who had caused his master’s injuries?His master had raised him like a father. Even if a day as a teacher is a lifetime as a father, how could he possibly ignore the circumstances of his death?Yet now, Joseph increasingly sensed that his master’s death was shrouded in secrets—deep and dangerous on

"Then, sir, what was the third request? Was it to have the Morgan Group support the Cooper family? To elevate the Coopers into one of Nova City’s top-tier families?" Joseph asked, curiosity evident in his tone."Now, that’s where you’re mistaken," the old man quickly waved his hand, denying the assumption."Then... could it be that the Morgan Group’s support of the Cooper family is entirely because of me?" Joseph pressed on."Yes—and no," Old Mr. Cooper replied, shaking his head. "The truth is, the partnership between the Morgan Group and the Cooper family stemmed from two things: your presence within the family... and an agreement I made with Old Morgan.""And what sort of agreement was that? At this point, there shouldn’t be anything left to hide," Joseph asked again."I suppose you’re right," the old man said, hesitating slightly. It was clear there was something he found difficult to say."The agreement was this: during the three years I was comatose, if Old Morgan helped the Coop

Joseph listened in silence before speaking again.“Cancer remains one of the most formidable illnesses in the world. Even with my master’s abilities, curing your condition would’ve been no easy feat.”This was the reality of cancer—it wasn’t like in those fictional tales where a miracle doctor could cure it with a single acupuncture session. To Joseph, such stories were nothing more than fantasy.“You’re right. But your master was truly remarkable. He used his extraordinary methods to keep me alive for years. Still, he couldn’t completely cure me.”“Though I was alive, I lived in constant agony, hiding away in hospital rooms, unwilling to face people. Only your master and I knew the truth of my illness.”“To the outside world—to my sons and grandchildren—I was simply growing weaker by the day. They were just waiting for me to die so they could tear each other apart for power.”“But as long as I was alive, they didn’t dare act openly. If they had known I was terminal, known exactly whe

"Matched? I've told you before, Alvarez and I are just putting on an act," Joseph said, feeling a little helpless. Today, Heidi was acting oddly."That's what you think. But Alvarez may not see it that way! She's not exactly young anymore—of course, she'd latch onto you," Heidi replied.Joseph gave her a look. "You're acting really strange today.""Because it’s like the saying—rain will fall, and my brother-in-law will marry," Heidi said dramatically.Joseph nearly stumbled at her words. Was that even how the proverb was supposed to be used?!"What nonsense. I'm a man—how am I supposed to get married?" Joseph said, thoroughly exasperated."Brother-in-law, you have no idea. There are so many little junior girls at school watching you now. Girls who are prettier, have better figures, and better personalities than me—plenty of them," Heidi said wistfully."I'm a freshly divorced man. It’s not as dramatic as you make it sound. Right now, I just want to focus on my work," Jose

"Are you stupid? There’s no such thing as a secret that doesn't leak," Raymond Kim sneered. "We’re talking about the Morgan family here—a force that dominates both politics and business across Elysia. Their wealth alone could crush you to death.""You think the Morgans are like your pathetic Zhang family? You must be out of your mind." "No matter what, I’ll never gamble my entire family’s future. If anything happens, my father would kill me himself.""And the entire Kim family would fall with me. Tell me, is it worth the risk?" Raymond Kim ranted as he slapped Griffin Bailey across the face repeatedly, forcing him to shield his head and take the blows.After venting his anger, Raymond felt much better. Indeed, happiness often came at the expense of others' suffering."Mr. Kim, I believe we can still use the fact that he was a live-in son-in-law against him," Jonathan spoke up again."But that's just one angle; we need more dirt to make it stick," he added."Can you say anything

"Even from a short distance, you can catch a whiff of a strange, foul mixture of odors. It’s obvious this man is addicted to debauchery, steeped in nightlife excess. He’s riddled with various venereal diseases—he's utterly filthy.""So, it's best to stay as far away from people like him as possible. Many diseases are contagious," Joseph said with a faint smile."My grandfather once took me to dinner with his father, and he was there too. Was I in danger back then?" Alice asked, a flicker of fear crossing her face."It's not that serious. Most diseases of that nature require intimate contact to spread. A shared meal isn't enough. You’re perfectly healthy—there’s nothing to worry about.""But keeping your distance is still wise," Joseph added reassuringly."Phew, that's a relief," Alice exhaled deeply."Joseph, by what you’re saying, Raymond Kim doesn't have long to live," Alice said, half-joking but with a trace of genuine concern."Not necessarily that he'll die soon, but he’l
