Ingrid's heart was beating loudly. She took a deep breath before following Hansel inside.She already knew the mansion was huge and bright, but this was still her first time inside after all. The architecture was very modern, and the color scheme mostly consisted of neutrals. It looked low-key, but
"Hmm?" Hansel raised an eyebrow."Would you dare register my fingerprint here?" Ingrid pointed at the electronic lock on the door. She pulled a sad face, looking like a kicked dog. "I've had to wait outside your door a few times. Look, I have three mosquito bites on my arms and another one on my le
Thanks to Solomon's influence, Miranda saw a major improvement in her productivity. Over the course of just one morning, she'd finished two sets of worksheets.When Solomon checked them, she'd scored 95 marks on both of the worksheets, to his surprise.He'd heard that Miranda had graduated three yea
The man had long and pretty fingers. Miranda glanced at his cart to find that it was filled with ready-to-eat food. Her gaze trailed upward to find that he happened to be looking down at her too.She smiled. "Don't tell me you're having this for dinner.""Heh, sometimes I get home too late and don't
Miranda had taken some photos of Winter too. In one of them, Winter had just gotten off the roller coaster, looking like she'd escaped with her life. Miranda couldn't help but laugh.She scrolled to the end. The last photo was a solo shot of her. Before she closed the app, she noticed two familiar f
On the other end of the line, Miranda was stunned. The image of Hansel and Ingrid holding hands in her photo resurfaced in her mind.She said mildly, "If you don't feel well, then go to the hospital. I'm not a doctor." With that, she hung up the phone. Her tone was casual, as though she were just ta
Tina was also confused. In the past, when Hansel had ended up in the hospital, Miranda had stayed by his bedside and attended to him. She'd even tear up from heartache. How come she wasn't here this time?As soon as Evelyn asked that question, a deathly silence fell over the room.Hansel said nothi
Miranda checked the fridge as soon as she reached her apartment. There were still plenty of groceries left from yesterday. She decided to whip up a beef stew, pork ribs, scrambled eggs, and some salad. Her movements were swift as she washed and chopped up the vegetables. On the other hand, Solomon
The news came like a bolt out of the blue. Bryan woke up on a seemingly ordinary morning. He immediately checked his phone for any missed calls or messages.There were some, but none from Elizabeth. Feeling disappointed, he got up, washed his face, and headed out. His phone rang as soon as he arri
In the past, Elizabeth might have felt dejected for a while. However, she felt an unexpected sense of relief this time. When she returned home, her parents asked about what happened at the summit. Elizabeth brushed them off with a few vague sentences. Then, she excused herself by saying she was ti
They inquired about the progress of the case. The police informed them that they were still investigating, and it was yet to be decided whether a formal case would be opened. Neither of them was too disappointed as they had expected that answer. After submitting the relevant hospital reports and e
Miranda said, "These documents should be helpful for the case.""You're very thoughtful. Thank you," Paul replied. "That's the second time.""Huh?""This is the second time you've thanked me since you woke up.""Well…" Paul scratched his head, looking surprisingly awkward. "I can't think of what el
Miranda got up to check on Paul immediately. His eyes were tightly shut, his face flushed crimson, and his breathing was unusually heavy. "Dr. Jefferson? Dr. Jefferson, can you hear me? Wake up!"Paul's eyelids moved, but his eyes wouldn't open."Paul? Wake up!" she called. This time, there was fi
The more Elizabeth thought about it, the more panicked she became. She started pacing around like a headless chicken. On the other end, the man remained as calm as ever. His voice was indifferent and emotionless. "So what if they suspect you? As long as you keep your mouth shut, they don't have any
The police arrived swiftly. Upon receiving the report, the hotel immediately sent staff to cooperate with the investigation. First, they sealed off Paul's room and collected air samples. Next, they proceeded to the surveillance room to retrieve surveillance footage, accompanied by the hotel manager
"You— What's wrong?" Miranda asked. The heat from Paul's palm was like a burning hot iron. The moment he touched her wrist, Miranda felt an extraordinary scorching sensation from his skin. "Miranda, do you know what you're doing?"Miranda waved the fever patch in her hand. "I'm about to stick this
Miranda wasn't naive or inexperienced. She immediately recognized Paul's arousal. Could it be…"Did it not have any effect at all after soaking in cold water for so long?"Paul had his back to her, so Miranda couldn't see his expression. All she heard was a low, almost inaudible voice. "No…""Then y
