In the hospital ward, Ingrid completely broke down when she woke up and realized that her baby was gone. The baby was her only hope and leverage. How could she have lost it?"Dr. Langley, my baby must still be alive, right? What you said earlier was a joke, right? This joke isn't funny at all. My b
"Hello, who's this?"Evelyn answered. "Hello, is this a family member of Ingrid York? This is the maternity ward of Westerton Hospital. Ms. York, she…"Evelyn knew it was a call from the hospital before the nurse could finish her introduction. Ingrid was most likely up to no good again. She interru

"What are you doing here?" Miranda asked.Paul arrived just as she and Joli stepped out of the conference room.Paul smiled mysteriously. "Why? I can't be here?""No. I mean… I drove today." She didn't need a ride."I know," he replied. "That's why I took a cab."Miranda was speechless. Alright, fi
Paul had Bedford College right where he wanted them. Hendrix had no choice but to give in.As long as the lab remained, any achievements would be credited to the college, whether Paul was still teaching there. But if the lab moved, his team would be entirely independent of the college.Hendrix had n

"So, are you saying the school is behind this?""Not necessarily. Dr. Jefferson probably wanted to focus on research anyway. I mean, research gets results—what does teaching get you? A bunch of lovestruck students fangirling over him? Haha.""What do you know? That's just an excuse. There's way more

"And you think an ex-boyfriend like you deserves it?" Paul shot back. The mention of "ex-boyfriend" immediately silenced Hansel.Paul glanced at his face. His eyes landed on Hansel's left cheekbone, which was scratched and still oozing blood."You should be grateful Mimi didn't get hurt. Otherwise…
