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
In the following days, that feeling grew stronger. Normally, Paul would leave at least one evening each week for a night run.Once, Miranda heard some noises in the hallway and opened her door, only to find he had already returned home.That wasn't the only strange thing. Paul usually took one or tw
Lucy and Franklin had been secretly following Hansel to the campus, trying to stay out of sight, afraid they might get caught.They didn't dare reveal themselves. But from such a distance, they couldn't make out any details. They wished they had a pair of binoculars to see better.But one thing was
Feeling wronged yet hopeful, Ingrid asked, "Did you just say Hansel would give me a proper status? What did he say?"Now that the baby was gone, and the 500 million vanished with it, her hopes of getting the money had faded. But if she could marry into the Johnson family and become part of the wealt
Lucy and Franklin exchanged glances.Were they finally about to negotiate the price?Lucy immediately got down from the window ledge. It wasn't a proper window anyway, just a small ventilation pane that opened vertically.There was no way someone her size could actually fall out, let alone jump out.
Lucy and Franklin were still in a daze as they walked out of the building. Although they hadn't managed to get 50 million, five million was still a huge sum!Even in ten lifetimes, Lucy knew she could never make that much money.As they were about to head back to their hotel, a truck approached them
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
