Miranda had completely forgotten that part of her memory. All she remembered was Lionel telling her to walk Paul out, and she did…Then what?Nothing. That was all.When she woke up again, it was the next morning. She stretched comfortably in bed, not feeling anything unusual at all.Mindy came in,
The more Evelyn thought about it, the angrier she became. The angrier she got, the more she wanted to go out!"Dan!" she called out to the driver. "Get ready., I'm heading out in 20 minutes.""Yes, ma'am," he replied.Evelyn went upstairs to change and even put on some makeup. By the time she was re
"Mom, Cole found out where that scumbag's company is!" Franklin announced excitedly.Cole Jones was a small-time thug without a proper job, but he was good at underhanded tricks and shady dealings. Franklin hadn't expected much when he asked for help, but to his surprise, Cole actually managed to fi
Seeing this, Franklin immediately felt emboldened. "Why is a worker like you meddling in so much? Just call Hansel out! We have something to discuss with him!"As the pair resorted to their shameless behavior, the assistant frowned even more deeply and was about to call security when Hansel emerged
Hansel came from a privileged background, but his success was the result of his own hard work that was built step by step. He'd encountered plenty of people like Lucy and Franklin before—those who put on an act of righteousness but were really just looking to squeeze out as much money as possible d
"You don't know a damn thing!" Lucy sneered. "What can you do with 500 thousand nowadays? You can't even buy a luxury car! Is that all you aspire to?""But… if we ask for a lower amount, at least we'd get 500 thousand easily," Franklin muttered."Idiot! Is that all you aim for? Just look at this bui
The next moment, Franklin received a call from Hansel's company's legal department. They informed him that they had gathered enough evidence and reserved the right to pursue legal action against him. They ended the call with a stern warning, telling him to behave himself or face the consequences.F
Done with his words, Hansel also left. After already being scolded by her husband and now blamed by her son, Evelyn almost exploded with anger."What's wrong with both of you? How can you both blame me? Everything I did was for you! None of you understand my intentions! Go ahead, leave—just leave! D
Susan's attitude toward Miranda had never been outright hostile, but it was far from friendly at the tea tasting party back then. Even an outsider like Evelyn could sense the obvious animosity from Susan. How could a woman like that ever agree to let Miranda be her daughter-in-law?As for Susan…Sh
The traditional stuffed turkey included peas, ham, sage, carrots, chicken gizzards, and mushrooms.The turkey was cleaned, filled with stuffing, and roasted in a preheated oven. However, Hansel had a picky palate. He didn't like the smoky taste of ham, nor could he stomach the flavor of chicken giz
Madison was instantly rendered speechless. Sebastian glanced at her bench and sighed in resignation. "Tell me, what else haven't you finished?"Her eyes lit up. "Do you mean what I think you meant?""If you don't need my help, I can just…""I do! I need your help!" Madison exclaimed. She didn't hol
"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
Everyone's reactions were mostly biased when the post was published. But slowly, the comments began to shift. Eventually, the thread was flooded with messages of "Congratulations!" and "So jealous!"After all, Miranda was already a rare sight, but Paul was even harder to come by. And together, they
"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
Paul regretted not landing a punch on Hansel when he had the chance.Miranda pulled her shirt back down and turned to him. "Where's my yogurt?"He chuckled. "Here."She took it, quickly opened it, and held it out to him with a smile. "Thank you for saving the damsel in distress today. Here's your re
"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…
