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's expression turned cold. "My interview video was seen by everyone online. If you still have doubts about my score, feel free to report it to the school. Don't just make baseless accusations."This society makes spreading rumors too easy. Take, for example, the person who posted that photo o
Tina was overjoyed. "Really? Will that be possible?!""Of course," said Sophie"I'd love to! I've admired you for a long time, and becoming your graduate student has always been my dream."It seemed Tina had completely forgotten that she had just come from Christine's house."Then it's settled. Your
Christine had just received news that this year, 70% of the graduate funding at the college had been allocated to Sophie's research team, with the remainder going to hers.After accounting for various expenses, the portion she could actually use might be less than 20%.Over the years, due to a lack
Miranda had an idea, but before acting on it, she needed to wait a bit longer…She'd have to wait until the contract expired so she could proceed with the next steps.…One day, Miranda set out as usual, planning to head to the library. As she stepped out of her apartment building, she ran into Paul
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
