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
Ingrid did want to please Evelyn, but she also had a baby in her belly—what was there to be afraid of? With that thought, Ingrid could no longer hold back and snapped back at Evelyn. "So what if I bought a couple of bags? Can't I treat myself a little? Those classes are boring and tedious."To be h
Evelyn's temper instantly flared. She tossed the towel from her forehead and asked, "Are you here to see me or rile me up? If that thing in her belly wasn't from the Johnson family, do you really think I'd even look at her?"Tina scoffed. "Well, you got what you deserved. It's clear as day that she'
Ingrid's frustration finally erupted. "Can't you see all I've done for you these past days? I just want us to go back to the way we were, without any barriers between us."But your heart is made of stone; you don't give me a single chance… Why? Is it because you still have feelings for Miranda? You
Sam shrugged and quickly admitted, "I've been taking it easy lately, so yeah, I'm not up for it."Hansel's attempt at a jab didn't get the reaction he wanted; instead, it backfired and left him feeling frustrated."Sam Cooper, are you really this spineless? No fight, no temper? Are you even a man?"
"For a woman like Miranda, no matter how deeply she loved you, she would eventually choose to leave. It was just a matter of time."Six years… Sam thought that was simply far too long. Long enough that he had once believed the radiant woman he knew had truly become a puppet, blindly driven by love.
After leaving the bar, Hansel returned to the mansion. Meanwhile, Ingrid was sitting on the sofa in the living room.As soon as she heard the door open, she rushed to greet him. Hansel treated her like she was invisible, walking straight past her and heading upstairs. Ingrid simply bit her lip in fr
The police arrived swiftly. Upon receiving the report, the hotel immediately sent staff to cooperate with the investigation. First, they sealed off Paul's room and collected air samples. Next, they proceeded to the surveillance room to retrieve surveillance footage, accompanied by the hotel manager
"You— What's wrong?" Miranda asked. The heat from Paul's palm was like a burning hot iron. The moment he touched her wrist, Miranda felt an extraordinary scorching sensation from his skin. "Miranda, do you know what you're doing?"Miranda waved the fever patch in her hand. "I'm about to stick this
Miranda wasn't naive or inexperienced. She immediately recognized Paul's arousal. Could it be…"Did it not have any effect at all after soaking in cold water for so long?"Paul had his back to her, so Miranda couldn't see his expression. All she heard was a low, almost inaudible voice. "No…""Then y
Miranda spoke in a tone that was neither hot nor cold, her attitude as indifferent as always. Elizabeth couldn't help but glance inside the room. "Have you seen Dr. Jefferson?""Yes, we met at the banquet. We came back together.""And after that?" Elizabeth asked anxiously. "After what?" Miranda l
Elizabeth was pacing back and forth anxiously in the adjacent room. She glanced at her watch more than ten times in the last minute. She bit her lip as the quiet environment amplified the unease in her heart. She reached for her phone several times, but she put it back on the table in the end. Whe
Miranda sneered coldly. "Does this mean any woman with a bit of achievement must have climbed her way up by sleeping with men in your eyes? Speaking of which, let's just take a look at Dr. Rachel Browne from Echo Bay Institute of Technology. "Not only is she one of the country's top astrophysicists
Paul came looking for Miranda after asking a waiter for directions. Unexpectedly, he saw Wyatt chasing Miranda just as he approached. Paul blurted out those words in that moment of urgency when he saw Wyatt reaching out to grab her. Wyatt's hand froze in midair. Meanwhile, Miranda was momentarily
"Mind having a chat?" Wyatt asked.Although Miranda felt puzzled, she maintained a smile on her face. "I don't mind, but we don't seem to be in the same academic field.""Didn't you say during your speech at the forum yesterday that the charm of research comes from interdisciplinary collaboration? I
These old-timers like Crosby weren't strangers to trying to matchmake Paul, whether setting him up with relatives or pairing him with students. Over the years, they had tried countless times, and Paul's answer was always the same. "Not considering it at the moment."Crosby hadn't planned on bringing
