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
Two hours later, Lucy and Franklin emerged from the mall, laden with shopping bags.Suddenly, Lucy exclaimed, "Oh no! I forgot to buy a necklace! Come on, let's go back…"With his hands full and legs aching from all the walking, Franklin groaned, "Mom, maybe we should call it a day? We're already ca
Paul was at a loss for words.Miranda spoke again, "I'll need to wait a little longer. Dr. Jefferson, why don't you head to the garage first?""Alright."He wanted to stay, but there was no suitable excuse. In the end, he had no choice but to leave first. Miranda stood by the side of the road for a
"That's more like it." Madison hung up, but she still found it strange. Whenever they went out together before, Sebastian was always the one who arrived first. He would have already bought her favorite latte and snacks by the time she showed up on the dot. But today, something felt off. The feeli
At first, Wanda struggled because she typed slowly and made many typos. Gradually, she discovered she could use voice-to-text features. Later, a neighbor who ran a parcel delivery station in the neighborhood told her about becoming the leader for a group buy community. All she had to do was to shar
Miranda had been living in the lab for almost two weeks. Originally, the intensive focus period could have ended two days earlier. However, Madison seemed to be exceptionally motivated and decided to put in extra effort for some reason. She insisted on finalizing the second phase of the experiment
Miranda was momentarily stunned. "Dr. Jefferson? When did he get here?""Around 2:00 pm. He waited for over an hour. But since you haven't returned, he left about ten minutes ago." Ten minutes ago…"Miranda, is Dr. Jefferson under a lot of stress lately? Did their lab get assigned another project?
Miranda took the earring, thanked Sawyer again, and put it back on as she walked.He began, "Ms. Sutton…""Is there anything else?" she asked.Sawyer stammered, "I… I was wondering if I could treat you to a meal. How about tonight? If you're busy, just let me know when you're available so I can resc
Jordana froze momentarily, then chuckled. "You saw right through me… Fine. I'll lower it by 10%, but that's my bottom line."Miranda raised an eyebrow. "30%. That's my limit."Jordana paused. Miranda set her coffee cup down, stood up, and casually finished her drink. "Looks like we won't reach an a
"What's on your mind?" Miranda chuckled. "I'm not made of iron. If the task isn't urgent, why pull an all-nighter? What's the fun in that?"Madison agreed, "You're right. Then, how come you…""I just got up a little earlier than you."Madison sighed in relief and grinned. She asked casually, "How mu
When the rainy season began, the weather turned unpredictable. Yesterday had been sunny, but it drizzled today. Paul, who hadn't brought an umbrella, arrived home drenched. He immediately took a hot shower and changed into his loungewear.While drying his hair, he noticed the bare mattress and froz
