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
Miranda glanced at her phone. It was a call from Paul. "Hello, Paul, Merry—"Before she could finish her sentence, she heard the sound of heavy breathing on the other end. Taken aback, Miranda froze for a moment. "What's…""Come outside, Mimi.""What?""I'm out front at your entrance. Come out."As
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
Jenny's words dripped with sarcasm. It felt like someone had hit the pause button on the originally cheerful atmosphere as the smiles on everyone's faces froze. Lionel scratched his head and replied politely, "We were just lucky…""Oh please, don't be so modest! I've got terrible luck, and everyon
Mindy maintained a polite smile. "It's the thought that counts. After all, we're family. There's no need to compare."With that, Cynthia's expression softened into a genuine smile. "Mindy, you really do have a way with words. No wonder you're a famous writer."Jenny hadn't managed to gain the upper
Rena's smile widened and looked more genuine. "These are not cheap, right? You're really too much. We're just having a Christmas dinner with family, so there's no need to bring all these gifts."She wasn't like Jenny, who couldn't stand seeing others doing well. Her brother-in-law's success was a g
