"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.
Bryan's eyes flickered, and he hesitated to say anything.Seeing everyone backing Miranda, Elizabeth was livid. However, she had to keep a neutral expression and struggled to control her rage. She said, "You never really know someone's true nature. What if it's all an act? I checked the data on my
"Do you have a solution?" Silas asked.Miranda said, "First, we must recover the deleted experimental data and check the deletion records. We can then determine when the data was deleted and figure out who was in the laboratory at that moment."He responded, "That sounds good, but who will recover t
At 8:00 pm, Paul treated everyone to late-night snacks. As soon as they sat down, Sandy said enthusiastically, "This place has the best and most affordable skewers. Miranda, you have to try their signature spicy beef skewers. I ordered a few extra for you." Silas sat beside Miranda and poured juic
"Even though Dr. Quinton, Sandy, and Dr. Jefferson are all focused on Miranda, I'm not. In my eyes, there's only you. I will always stand by your side and treat you as the most important person in my life," Bryan said earnestly.He added, "I really, really like you. Please give me a chance to protec
Miranda and Paul walked along the riverbank. Neon signs were flickering on both sides. The bustling city suddenly seemed to quiet down, giving Miranda a sense that time had slowed altogether. They strolled side by side in a gentle silence that wasn't awkward, but rather harmonious. It was as if jus
"After every failure, my dad and I would reflect on our mistakes and find a more hidden spot, but my mom would find it every time without fail. It was like she had a camera on her."Miranda then paused after noticing Paul hadn't spoken in a while. "Dr. Jefferson, are you listening?"She turned her h
Miranda paused midstep. "Sandy, Dr. Quinton, why are you both staring at me like that? Is there something wrong?" she asked.Sandy and Silas had been waiting for her to ask that very question!"Miranda, could I ask you for a favor?""What kind of favor?"Sandy explained, "I've got two sets of data h
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
