"Take these home and go through them. You'll officially start school again in September. Before then, you should have a basic understanding of your research direction. This way, when you join the lab group, you won't be completely in the dark," said Christine.Miranda glanced at the materials in her
Miranda suddenly realized that Elder Street was near Winter's office. Her heart jumped into her throat, nearly choking her with anxiety.Meanwhile, the driver kept his word; what would normally be a half-hour trip, he managed to cut it down to 15 minutes.As soon as Miranda got out of the car and wa
"Alright, alright. You're amazing! Happy now?" Miranda conceded."Well, according to hospital rules and procedures, car accident victims need to contact their family members."I didn't want to worry my parents, so I had to give them your number." Winter sighed, pulling out her phone and complaining
Hence, Evelyn could only glare, staring daggers at Winter. If looks could kill, Winter would've been stabbed to pieces by now."Ms. Jefferson, you might... have misunderstood me," Ingrid said timidly while glancing pitifully at Winter.Unfortunately, Winter wasn't buying it. "Misunderstand what? Tha
The more Evelyn thought about it, the angrier she became. The angrier she got, the more unwilling she was to let it go. She then actually chased after them.Normally, she would never stoop to this level, thinking that only desperate people would cling on like this. But right now, she was no differen
Winter sneered, "Talk about a petty person getting her way. She even smells like a bitch.""You shouldn't have stopped me earlier." She had only used a fraction of her strength—if things had really escalated, that old witch wouldn't have stood a chance.Recalling Ingrid's sour expression as she left
After dropping Ingrid off at her campus gate, Evelyn reminded her a few more times to stay safe and take care of her pregnancy. Only then did she instruct the driver, "Let's go back.""Yes, ma'am," the driver replied.Sitting in the back seat, Evelyn glanced at the hideous scarf beside her and could
In Evelyn's mind, her son was the best.No matter what, her daughter-in-law's education couldn't be lower than a Master's degree, preferably with a background from an overseas prestigious university. Ingrid fell far short in every aspect. Evelyn only reluctantly agreed to meet her because of the ba
Miranda glanced at her phone. It was a call from Paul. "Hello, Paul, Merry—"Before she could finish her sentence, she heard the sound of heavy breathing on the other end. Taken aback, Miranda froze for a moment. "What's…""Come outside, Mimi.""What?""I'm out front at your entrance. Come out."As
Austin stuck out his tongue at Yale. "Uncle Yale, shame on you! How can you compare yourself to little kids?" Yale was at a loss for words. Great, he thought, even the kids were bullying him.Suddenly, Susan thought of something and asked, "By the way, where's Paul?" "Oh, he got a phone call earli
Jenny was shocked. "Are they really that powerful?""Of course!" Quincey couldn't help but sigh. "I can't help but admire Miranda sometimes. Back when she needed money, she latched onto a rich young scion. Now that she's still young but craving for status, she went straight for a prominent academic
"Well, Dad and Mom still have a few jars left," Jenny said. "After thinking about it, we really shouldn't turn down Lionel's and his family's good intentions. Oh, right. Quincey, we still have to visit your maternal grandparents for Christmas. Let's head back now."The other members of the Sutton fa
Miranda walked over with a bright smile. "Aunt Jenny, the reason I gave the project to Jack back then was because we were working on a tight budget. Other smart home renovation companies were quoting too high. "Secondly, Jack's team was truly capable and qualified to handle the job. I would've like
Jenny had heard from other relatives some time ago that Jack's company was growing rapidly. His business had boomed so quickly that they could barely keep up with the demand. She had felt a little envious when she first heard the news. Jenny hadn't seen it with her own eyes and didn't know just how
Jenny's words dripped with sarcasm. It felt like someone had hit the pause button on the originally cheerful atmosphere as the smiles on everyone's faces froze. Lionel scratched his head and replied politely, "We were just lucky…""Oh please, don't be so modest! I've got terrible luck, and everyon
Mindy maintained a polite smile. "It's the thought that counts. After all, we're family. There's no need to compare."With that, Cynthia's expression softened into a genuine smile. "Mindy, you really do have a way with words. No wonder you're a famous writer."Jenny hadn't managed to gain the upper
Rena's smile widened and looked more genuine. "These are not cheap, right? You're really too much. We're just having a Christmas dinner with family, so there's no need to bring all these gifts."She wasn't like Jenny, who couldn't stand seeing others doing well. Her brother-in-law's success was a g
