Joli lowered his eyes to mask his emotion, but his fists clenched tighter beneath his sleeves. After what felt like ages, he finally relaxed his grip as if he had run out of energy and decided to give in. "Thank you, Dr. Xander. I appreciate everything you've done for me over the years," he said."
After 30 seconds, Madison's phone chimed with a text message. She glanced at the screen and saw a payment notification. On the other end, her father, Mason Hill, said, "Sweetie, did you receive it?""Yes, I did."It wasn't one million but 1.5 million dollars. She was delighted that her father sent
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,
Miranda couldn't believe Zach told her to contact Sam.Zach replied, "Well, Sam is the owner."She was left speechless. After everything, it had come back to someone she knew.Miranda sighed as she ended the call and reluctantly dialed Sam's number. She wasn't joking that day when she told him, "Yo
"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
"Hey, what are you staring at? Hand me the water," Winter said.Zach felt all the pleasantness shattered the moment she spoke. His lips twitched as he replied, "Can I make a suggestion?""Go ahead." She took a sip of ice water and instantly felt refreshed."Can you tone it down when you talk to me?
"I thought I'd be waiting forever, but this rascal surprised me by quickly getting everything sorted. This gift has finally come in handy," Phoebe said.As expected, the royal emerald bracelet was of an auction-level quality. It had to be worth at least seven figures, possibly even eight."No, Mrs.
To be precise, Phoebe and Maggie were watching Winter and Zach from upstairs.Phoebe said, "Look at them. They're so sweet."Maggie remarked, "I've never seen Mr. Zach this proactive with any girl before."Phoebe replied, "Winter isn't just any woman. Regardless of her background or upbringing, she
Winter said, "Mr. Jensen, we'll be off—"Suddenly, Miranda interjected with a smile, "Why not join us for a meal? After all, we've already booked the restaurant.""Really?" Sawyer was so thrilled that he could barely speak.Winter was puzzled. She gave Miranda a look that said, "Are you serious?"Mi
"Hello." Miranda nodded slightly in greeting.Sawyer left his friends behind and walked up to her. "You're here for a haircut too?""Yes.""Well… I mentioned wanting to treat you to a meal last time. Would you happen to be free today?" he asked. Miranda replied, "I'm sorry, I'm here with a friend."
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
