Leonard continued, "That's not a problem. Once the payments come in and we have more cash, we can pay a bit extra and buy the villa from someone else." Rena's lips twitched. She wanted to retort that who would buy a second-hand house as a marital home? Nonetheless, her husband had made his point. C
Cynthia changed into indoor slippers and glanced around the living room. She noticed several large packed boxes in the corner before sitting silently on the couch. "Lionel, Mindy, are you clearing out your house?" Mindy said with a smile, "No, we're just packing up some bedding and clothes.""Have
Cynthia spoke earnestly as she advised Miranda, "What I'm trying to say is simple. As women, we should never take shortcuts no matter how tough it gets. We need to work hard and stay grounded. We should not rely on luck and stay away from unscrupulous ways of making money!" Miranda nodded in agreem
Now, Karen could grow vegetables, raise chickens, and even rear fish. Her whole family would have more than enough to eat!"Hey, you're moving out?" Karen stood at the gate of her yard with her arms crossed. There was a mocking smile on her face. Lionel had no time to pay her any attention as he wa
Lionel answered, "Let me discuss this with Mindy first…" "Discuss?" Anna's tone grew stern. "What's there to discuss? Aren't you the man of the household? Do you need to consult your wife on such a simple matter before making a decision?" "Mom, this isn't about being the head of the household. No
Jenny's comments seemed harmless, but her tone sounded off, as if she was hinting at something else. Rena's eyes flickered. "I still don't know what job Mimi is doing in Elgerson City. She must be doing something extraordinary, right? After all, ordinary people don't just make millions." Miranda f
Everyone immediately rushed upstairs. They followed the noise and came to Miranda's bedroom. What greeted them was a chaotic scene. Quincey was sitting on the floor with two luxury bags scattered nearby. After seeing everyone barge in, she burst into loud sobs and started kicking wildly like a spoi
Did Miranda think that she was still in her prime? She wanted to pick up her books again after all these years since graduation? Dream on! She would be embarrassed once the results were revealed!Rena chimed in, "I'm also curious after listening to Quincey's suggestion." Cynthia smiled. "Yes, every
Morning sunlight streamed into the room.Miranda's eyelashes fluttered, then her eyes slowly opened. She sat up, reached for the robe beside her, and slipped it on. Glancing over at Paul, who was still asleep next to her, she quietly got out of bed.In the kitchen, she was preparing breakfast. As sh
Zach straddled the man and threw a few more punches at him. Winter was flung to the ground by his violent shove and twisted her ankle. A sharp pain shot through her the moment she tried to move. "Zach, have you lost your mind? I'm calling the police!" she shouted. Her words made Zach pause mid-ac
The moment those words left Zach's mouth, the poker table fell into dead silence. The chaotic noise around them seemed to fade into the background as a deafening explosion went off in Hansel's mind. Only one sentence echoed over and over in his ear…Miranda had a boyfriend…Had a boyfriend…Boyfrie
On most days, Zach would sleep during the day and pick up Winter from work in the evening. Then, they would spend a wild night in the apartment.Afterward, they were too exhausted to do anything but sleep until noon.Zach cleared his throat. Yeah, he had been pretty busy."Well… work's been a little
"What the hell! Winter? Hello? Hello!" Zach shouted into his phone. But she had already hung up before he could finish cursing. That feeling was like…An urge to go, only to have to hold it back forcibly. Zach slammed his fist onto the steering wheel in frustration. The steering wheel, of course,
Paul said, "No? Then come over to my place tonight, and we'll take a closer look."Miranda was at a loss for words. "Here we go again!" she thought. As the two returned to the lab, they could hear Sandy's excited voice from afar, "Oh, we found it! Found it! Oh my god! Thank goodness! Thank the heav
Emilia was at a loss for words. After a long pause, she finally spoke again. "One last question. Did you reject my résumé because I truly wasn't a good fit, or was it because… I gave you that candle?"Paul answered, "You truly weren't a good fit."He hesitated for a moment before elaborating, "Your
Only a fairy like Miranda could tame a slave driver like Paul!Bryan added, "You really saved the day and brought peace on earth."Miranda chuckled. "You guys are really too dramatic."As Sandy took the plate of food Paul handed to her, she pointed at the computer screen nearby. "Let me tell you, we
The person on the other end was shocked. "How is that possible?"Realizing he might have overreacted, he quickly added, "Maybe… they just haven't sent out all the notifications yet. My qualifications aren't as good as yours, and my research achievements are much weaker. There's no reason I got selec
