Chapter 71- Partners
After noticing the weird vibe between Morrison and Lilian, Karl decided to dig a little on his own. He quietly reached out to some old classmates and found out that Lilian never had any publicly known boyfriend—no rumors, no whispers of dating at all.
If she really was the girl Morrison cooked for, that meant their relationship was completely under the radar.
So why would they hide it?
Karl’s mind immediately jumped to one likely reason: Morrison’s reputation. His brother was notorious for being a womanizer, and if Lilian’s parents knew, they’d probably shut the whole thing down in an instant. After all, Lilian was such a pure and innocent girl—there was no way her parents would approve of her dating someone like Morrison.
But why would those two even fall for each other? No matter how smart Karl was, he just couldn’t figure it out.
Of course, he couldn’t—because the reason they got together was something only a low-IQ person would think of. High-IQ people like Karl simply can’t wrap their heads around the crazy decisions made by someone less sharp.
Karl hadn’t expected that after coming back home, the very first thing he’d end up researching wouldn’t be his own studies, but his brother’s secret love life.
If those two ever ended up together for real, Karl swore he’d give Morrison a good beating—and demand a fat research budget in return to support his own work.
Yeah, for that kind of funding, Karl figured he might as well do his best to push their relationship forward.
He grabbed his phone and dialed Morrison.
"Bro, Lilian’s big brother invited us for dinner tonight. As my big brother, shouldn’t you return the favor and treat them sometime?"
Morrison had already heard this line from Linda once before. This time, his anger wasn’t as sharp—just a cold snort.
