Martha answered, "Yes, Mr. Johnson." Suddenly, Ingrid's face turned pale. She clutched her stomach and said, "Ouch… My stomach hurts so much…"However, Hansel remained expressionless. Since he didn't move, Martha didn't dare to move either. At that moment, Ingrid had already slid to the floor in p
Evelyn didn't expect Ingrid to turn the tables on her. "You're the one who caused all this to happen, so how is this my fault? Try saying that again, and I'll tear your mouth apart!" "Go ahead! If you don't beat me to death today, you lose!" Ingrid shouted."Martha…" Evelyn trembled with anger. "Ca
Evelyn said, "For our family, we only have you and Hansel as grandchildren. How can we compare to your uncles? We'll definitely be at a disadvantage if the inheritance is distributed according to the number of people within the family. "If you or your brother had a child, he or she would also be co
Evelyn sputtered, "What?" "If you're not pregnant, why are you drinking the chicken soup? It doesn't seem right to compete with a pregnant woman for food, right?" Ingrid asked. "There's a whole pot of soup. Do you think you can finish it all by yourself?" Evelyn thought Ingrid must not be in her r
Evelyn's head throbbed with frustration as she watched Ingrid reject the soup she had boiled for the entire morning. "That's lentil soup, and I added some beans. It's good for the baby." "It might be good for the baby, but not for the pregnant mother, right? Can't you see the thick layer of oil flo
A tall figure walked out as Christine finished speaking. Miranda was stunned when she saw who it was. Christine said, "Let me introduce you to Sam Cooper, Dr. Sanchez's student."Sam extended his hand to Miranda with a smile. "Miranda, nice to meet you." "You're Dr. Sanchez's student?" Miranda as
In reality, Sam wasn't much help in the kitchen.Not only were his actions clumsy, but he also squeezed dish soap onto every single plate and bowl. When Miranda gave him a pointed look, he asked innocently, "Isn't this how you're supposed to wash them?" Miranda was at a loss for words. Sam cleared
Miranda suddenly remembered that Sandy had once mentioned there was a pervert who lurked around Bedford College. He loved to follow female students around, especially at night. A female student had already been assaulted by him, yet they still hadn't caught the perpetrator despite having reported i
Harold came in behind Jenny. He was so quiet that his presence was easily overlooked. Meanwhile, Quincey barely said a word as she kept her head down, her eyes glued to the phone. "Rena, you arrived really early this time. I've never seen you and Leonard so enthusiastic before. Guess things have ch
Miranda stood in front of the mirror, tidying up her messy hair. Behind her, Paul was fully dressed. He walked over and wrapped his arms around her. "Stop it, I just fixed my hair… Look, you even smudged my lipstick," Miranda grumbled, pushing him away. "Mimi, the way you said that makes it sound
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
