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
Miranda was worried that the books might not arrive in time for Mindy's birthday. Fortunately, they were delivered the day before.Mindy held the books in her hands lovingly. "How did you know I've been looking for this set of classics?" "You've mentioned it so many times that it would be hard for
Even Miranda didn't have much confidence in herself. Paul's dark eyes held a hint of amusement. "You said it yourself. It's a small probability that you didn't pass. I believe in the likelihood of the more probable outcome." Miranda's smile grew wider. "Then I'll take that as a good omen." …The
One interview cleared his throat. "Yes, but not entirely." "What are quasicrystals?""Quasicrystals are a type of crystal structure where the atoms are arranged in a non-repetitive and non-periodic symmetrical pattern. "The arrangement of atoms is somewhere between crystalline and amorphous struct
Hendrix suddenly thought of something. "Go check the number of papers published in 'Nature Biotechnology' by scholars within the country for last year."Beckett immediately opened his laptop. Five minutes later, he reported, "For last year, local scholars published a total of six papers in 'Nature B
In chess, a stalemate would result in a draw. With the first two rounds taken into account, the two indeed ended with a tie. Paul remarked, "Mr. Cooper, your chess skills are impressive."Sam replied, "You flatter me. However, praising me is just a roundabout way of praising yourself. Who knew you
Going downstairs, Miranda found Aren and Paul still sitting at the same spot as before. They were facing each other over the chessboard, deep in thought. She wondered if she had dreamed of taking a nap. "Mimi, are you up already? Come help me take a look. Paul is something else. He's already beaten
On second thought, Sawyer figured that Sam was Miranda's older cousin. It was normal for him to be annoyed after seeing through his intentions. After all, it was natural for families to feel protective over young women like Miranda. Sawyer quickly put on a smile. "Mr. Cooper, you're right. Since I'
Sawyer answered, "Alright."Soon, Miranda entered the house. "Grandma, did you call for me?""Come here, Miranda." Fiona beckoned her over. "Let me introduce you to the young scion of the Jensen family, Sawyer Jensen. You two probably met during the birthday banquet.""Nice to meet you," Miranda gre
Paul remained silent as he watched Sam walk away.How childish.Meanwhile, Miranda frowned. That couldn't be right. She had picked each one carefully and they all looked sweet. Sam was probably unlucky to eat a sour one. Paul and Sam picked two large baskets of strawberries and handed them over to
However, Sam's mind had long wandered elsewhere. Coincidentally, he stepped out of the study with a bright smile on his face when the maid came to call him. Sam hadn't gone to the office as he knew Miranda would be visiting. He specially came to the Garrison estate to wait for her instead. Sure en
Miranda felt that if she didn't find an excuse to get Joli out of the lab, he could easily stay there for an entire day. Then, he would pull another all-nighter. Did Joli really think he had some kind of superpower? He worked nonstop for two days with barely any sleep and no proper meals. Yet, he s
Miranda began, "Grandma, I—" "Aren, can you keep an eye on the fire for me? It's been stewing for three hours, and I just need this last touch. Make sure it's perfect, okay? It's too noisy here, so I'm going out to talk to Mimi."It sounded like Fiona had walked into the living room since the noise
