Although Ingrid was still using her son's supplementary card, it was much better than last time when she didn't even spend a penny and only gave her a handmade scarf as a gift. The two of them wandered into a luxurious boutique. The sharp-eyed sales assistant immediately recognized that Evelyn was
"Coming." Miranda had gone to the restroom earlier. When she came out, she saw Natalie waving to her from inside the store. Evelyn was taken aback. Following Natalie's gaze, she saw a familiar face. It was none other than Miranda!Naturally, Ingrid also saw her. Miranda was wearing light makeup,
The sales assistant was momentarily stunned, and Evelyn looked at Ingrid in confusion. Ingrid continued, "Mrs. Jefferson, let me help you pick out a few outfits as well?" Evelyn gave Natalie a haughty glance and thought, "Hmph, do you think you're the only person to have someone help you pick an o
Miranda smiled and said, "The design of the dress earlier was quite formal, so I thought a more casual style might be a nice surprise." Evelyn's expression was dark, but she couldn't lose her temper with so many people around. She held back her anger with much difficulty. Ingrid bit her lip. She n
Natalie smiled as they walked out of the mall. "Mimi, you must be feeling tired. Thank you for spending so much time shopping with me.""It wasn't any trouble, Mrs. Jefferson. I had a great time shopping with you," Miranda said, having made quite a few gains herself. Natalie turned to Miranda with
Natalie had long been accustomed to Susan's sharp tongue and didn't take it personally. She responded with a smile, "It's just that staying home all day can get boring, so I thought organizing a tea party would be a nice way to pass the time. Tea culture has become quite popular lately, so I chose
Evelyn's smile froze. Why was Susan's reaction so different from what she had anticipated? "Hmph, do you think you can stir up trouble between us?" Susan scoffed. She stood up and looked down at Evelyn with disdain. "The disagreements between Natalie and I are a family matter of the Jefferson hous
Everyone listened intently, captivated by Miranda's story. "Natalie, this instructor you brought in is quite good. Where did you find her? Why were the previous instructors all old men?" one of the ladies commented. They had many tea tasting parties before, with different ladies hosting the event.
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
