Joli asked, "Did you use my name to apply for the lab access at the dean's office?"Sophie replied, "Ah! Yes."He asked again, "Then, who is using that lab? I need to contact that person.""No one is using it.""Nobody?" Although he expected that answer, Joli still felt uneasy about it.Sophie answe

Madison asked, "What should I do?""You're in charge of the money," Miranda replied.That same day, Miranda and Sebastian each transferred 420,000 dollars into Madison's bank account.Madison was thrilled to have so much money. She smiled as she nibbled on a cookie and stroked her debit card. Sure,

"Yes. You have a bad temper and a bad memory. What's wrong with that?" Zach said.Winter flung a pillow at him. "Just shut up!"He tilted his head and skillfully dodged it, which showed that he was well-practiced in this sort of exchange.She reached for another pillow, but he said, "Don't bother. I

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

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
