"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
What kind of sincerity are you talking about?" Evelyn gritted her teeth as she asked.The angrier Evelyn got, the more Lucy enjoyed herself."You're eager to settle this quickly and move on; I get it. But my son and I have been in Elgerson for almost two weeks now. We've been staying in the hospital
Two days later, Evelyn indeed received a call from Lucy. However, it wasn't to ask for money."…What did you just say?"Lucy replied, "Take me and my son to that hotel where you and the other wealthy ladies had your gathering last time for afternoon tea. What's the problem?"Evelyn resisted the urge
Miranda posted nine photos on her social media with a caption, "From my boyfriend."She was frustrated. Why was she restricted to only nine photos on her feed? If she posted more than nine, it would turn into a video automatically. If she could, she would have posted 90 photos. After all, they were
As soon as Miranda stepped out of the building, she swept her gaze across the vast stretch of white snow and saw a man dressed in a down jacket. Paul turned to Miranda with a smile the moment he heard the sound of footsteps. Stunned, Miranda exclaimed in surprise, "Paul? When did you come downstai
After returning from the Garrison estate, Miranda finally learned that Paul had actually abandoned his work at the lab midway just to have dinner with her family."Dr. Jefferson, please come to the lab tomorrow to continue authorizing the access permissions." Esme's flat and emotionless voice came t
Paul had arrived quickly. During dinner, he had beaten Sam to it when he tried to sit next to Miranda. Sam had tried to take the seat on the opposite side, but Fiona had cut in and taken that seat before he could. …"So were you deliberately stalling him when you said the remote was broken before t
Aren couldn't understand it. "Why are you in such a rush? Sam has been single for quite some time, and you've never reacted this strongly before."Of all things, she wanted to set up a blind date."You… you're not sleepwalking, right?" Aren asked cautiously. Fiona turned to glare at him immediately
"Huh? Why didn't I hear Sam start his car? Has he left? Let me take a look…" Aren muttered as he walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and peered out. "I knew it! His car is still there. He didn't leave at all. Could his car be stuck in the snow? That doesn't make sense… It hasn't been snowing long
The night was dark and silent as the heavy snow fell. Inside the estate, Fiona glanced out the window. "Oh, it looks like it's snowing outside," she said. Sam remained indifferent as it snowed every year in Elgerson. To him.. Or rather, snow was nothing special to anyone who grew up in Elgerson.
Aren nodded. "That works too. Sam, you don't need to send them off then. Head home and rest early."Sam remained silent. Before long, a maid came in and reported, "Both boxes have been loaded into Dr. Jefferson's car."Paul bid farewell to the elderly couple. "Mr. and Mrs. Garrison Senior, we'll he
Miranda was completely unaware of what was happening at the chessboard. At that moment, she was sitting on the couch and watching a dating reality show with Fiona. Yes, a dating show. In Fiona's own words, she said, "I just love watching young people fall in love. If I happen to find a couple I li
