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
The instructor called on Ingrid directly, waking her up to answer a question. But Ingrid hadn't been paying attention, so unsurprisingly, she couldn't respond correctly. The other students merely glanced at her, their looks filled with obvious mockery.Ingrid's irritation was visible. She loved des
Miranda was momentarily taken aback, then she laughed. "Of course, I brought some for him too! Here, will you take it to him for me?""Sure thing!"Miranda took out a few extra jars and placed them in her car. "You're the best, Miranda!" "I think you and Sebastian are a pretty good match too."Wit
Since staying at the villa, her eyesight improved, and her back had stopped hurting. She was always smiling with a great appetite. Aren even went so far as to call over their private doctor, driver, and bodyguards from home. From the look of things, they planned to stay at the villa for some time.
By force? Sam chuckled. "Well, that's if you actually managed to grab hold of it."Timothy retorted, "How would you know you can't if you haven't tried?""What? Are you going to pursue Aunt Minnie? Heh… First of all, there's no way you'll get past my grandparents."Timothy made no comment on that.
"No way… Are you a big shot? You even brought your bodyguards to get drunk at a bar?" "Who knows?" Sam retorted.…Sam asked his bodyguards to stand closer deliberately so that he could finally have some peace and quiet. He poured himself another drink, but unlike last night, he didn't chug it down
Now, Timothy and Mindy were no longer the childhood sweethearts they once were. Their lives had diverged, with separate marriages and entirely different paths."Do you remember when we were kids, the promises we made about what we wanted to be when we grew up?" Timothy was the first to break the sil
Timothy waved his hand dismissively. "No need, I'll serve myself…""Nonsense! We're all family here." Before Timothy could finish, Lionel had already added two heaping servings of ribs to his plate.Timothy froze, momentarily at a loss for words.Nelly smiled sweetly, but her gaze toward Timothy was
The moment seemed to pull Timothy back in time, to when they were just young adults in their 20s. Their world revolved solely around each other, yet held back by the unspoken.His heart stirred. He opened his mouth to speak, but before he could say anything, Mindy stood up and broke the spell. "I sh
Nelly's smile became slightly strained. "Is that so? Lionel is truly a family man…"As everyone enjoyed their meal, the doorbell suddenly rang. Sam put down his cutlery. "I'll get it," he said, heading to the entryway.A few seconds later, his surprised voice echoed through the house. "Dad? What are
Mindy only asked Miranda to contact Sam because the two of them already knew each other.Back when Lionel's wallet was stolen at the train station, Miranda had introduced Sam to them. She called him "Mr. Cooper" and explained that he was a friend. Later, Sam had even thoughtfully dropped them off at
