When Hansel and Sam turned to look, they couldn't see Miranda.Zach shrugged. "If I hadn't said that, would you two have stopped fighting?"Hansel was lost for words while Sam tightened his lips.Zach continued, "Is it too much to ask for adults to handle this maturely instead of resorting to childi
Paul quickly typed a reply but hesitated. After a moment's thought, he decided it was better to head home. Since it was Sunday, he thought Miranda should be at home."Silas, I'm leaving now. Three sets of data are about to be released, so please keep an eye on them."As he turned to go, Silas called
Madison didn't know Paul or his relationship with Miranda, but that didn't matter to her. Still, nothing could hold back her urge to vent her frustrations.After lunch, Miranda, Madison, and Sebastian returned to the lab.Madison placed her hands on her hips and sighed. "The lab is spacious, but it'
Sam's expression finally softened. "Mr. Banks, you never let anyone down. That's why I prefer collaborating with you over the other directors and deans in this college.""I'm deeply grateful for your support, Mr. Cooper," Joseph replied.As Sam stood to leave, Joseph personally escorted him to the d
"What is that?""Looks like some kind of lab equipment! And it's being delivered by foreign engineers!""Do you think they're just delivering it? After it's installed, they'll need to test it as well.""I remember this lab wasn't used before. How did such expensive equipment show up all of a sudden?
Theodore hadn't yet started working on any research projects, so he didn't fully understand what made this equipment so special. But seeing Joli's expression, he couldn't help but glance at it a few more times."Is it expensive, Joli?"Joli nodded. "Very expensive.""How much does it cost?""More th
"Who did you think of?" Sophie pressed on.Joseph smirked coldly. "Don't bother asking. It's someone you can't afford to provoke."When Sam dealt with him, he was at least somewhat tactful, but that other person had stormed straight in to demand answers…That was the influence and standing a top sci
"Just adjust the data to make it consistent. There's no need to waste time on verification," Sophie said casually.Although Joli had anticipated something like this, hearing it out loud still gave him a shock. "That's called academic fraud," he said, emphasizing each word.Sophie's face darkened. "J
Sebastian noticed the look of disappointment in Madison's eyes and suddenly said, "Hey, don't we look like two school kids getting punished by the teacher and made to stand outside the classroom?""You're the one who looks like a school kid," Madison retorted."Then… does that make us childhood swee
"Paul, I apologize." Quincey said. "My mom must've been momentarily possessed or something. She looked uneasy the whole time after we got home. She only confessed once my dad and I noticed something was off. "So, I rushed over to return the bangle. Thankfully, I made it in time. Please help me pass
Paul didn't look particularly surprised when he heard that. He simply said calmly, "Wasn't that the whole point of you giving the gold bangle? Shouldn't you be pleased that Mrs. Jenny showed interest in your gift?""You—" Susan's eyes widened in shock. She was so angry that she couldn't speak. "Pau
"Mom's a woman herself," Lionel said. "She knows more than anyone that the bride will be taken lightly if her family submits to the groom's family even before the wedding happens. "Besides, Leonard and Rena treated her well over the years. They bought her anything she wanted, including gold and sil
Quincey was getting a little impatient while waiting for Jenny at the entrance of Delish restaurant. She kept pressing her phone screen to check the time. "What's taking Mom so long?"Meanwhile, Harold was smoking at the bottom of the steps. He had only gotten through half a cigarette, so he wasn't
"You should go ahead and accept the gift," Susan said. "I prepared them for everyone. They're just little trinkets to wear for fun."Jenny clicked her tongue. A trinket? For fun?Those were truly words worthy of a wealthy lady. It was amazing how generous she was. However, Jenny still had a shred o
Susan remained silent for the rest of the meal. She only concentrated on eating the food in front of her. Jenny, kept in check by Harold, didn't cause any more scenes, either. As the meal was nearing its end, several waiters suddenly entered the private room. Each one was elegantly dressed and wor
"What Mrs. Jenny said earlier made a lot of sense," Paul said. I've taken your words to heart."Then, he turned to Mindy and Lionel. "Please rest assured, Mr. and Mrs. Sutton. I know how lucky I am to have met Miranda. I'll always put her first, cherish her, and take full responsibility as her boyfr
"Mrs. Jefferson, this toast is to welcome you to Lumberville!" Jenny exclaimed. "You should go around and explore while you're here. There's quite a bit of beautiful scenery in this city. "I would also like to thank you for your hospitality. You treated our entire family with such wonderful food an
