Miranda blinked in confusion. She wondered if Matthew didn't have any conscience.After dozing off for an hour, she glanced at the clock and realized it was already 8:00 am. She quickly gathered her things and rushed to the lab.Paul noticed she was half an hour late and looked slightly off. "Didn't
Hansel's head was pounding, and his mood grew increasingly irritable. He switched to silence mode and set his phone face down on the table. He said coldly, "Continue."Everyone else kept their eyes on the floor to avoid any stray glances.After the meeting, Hansel returned to his office and glanced
Ingrid furiously marched to her room and slammed the door shut.Martha had just woken up the following morning and was still in her sleepwear when she heard Ingrid yelling from upstairs."Bring me to the hospital now."Martha's lips twitched. Last time, she had been flustered and genuinely worried.
Evelyn knew Hansel didn't want to keep Ingrid's baby. Moreover, Richard wasn't aware of the matter, and she was reluctant to tell him. She had a nagging feeling that he wouldn't support her decision to keep the baby. After all, Richard and Hansel were both cold-hearted, each more ruthless than the
Ingrid was eating a slice of orange when Ingrid informed her of the prenatal class. She immediately refused, "Mrs. Johnson, I've been feeling unwell lately. With constant trips to the hospital, I just can't handle any prenatal classes at the moment."She still remembered the grievances and criticism
Ingrid wanted to focus on her pregnancy and Hansel. Since she would marry into the Johnson family, she figured graduating from university seemed irrelevant.On Monday, she handed in her application to withdraw from university. She cited illness as her reason so that the approval process wouldn't tak
Ingrid wasn't her same old self. Her old items just didn't suit her anymore. "Look through these things. If you find anything useful, take it. If not, please help me get rid of the rest.""Huh? You don't want them?""Yeah," Ingrid replied.Her roommates were speechless.Ingrid returned to her dormit
"Sandy, is it gout?" Miranda asked."How did you know?" Sandy was surprised."Dr. Young has it, too," Miranda explained. "I've got a herbal medicine formula for it. It won't cure it, but it works well for pain and has fewer side effects than modern medicine." Sandy's lifeless eyes lit up instantly.
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
