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
The person on the other line merely responded, "Keep your mouth shut. Don't say what you shouldn't, or I'll make sure you never say anything again."The line went dead. The driver, who was still holding his phone, felt cold sweat soaking his back.…As night fell, Hansel stood motionless in front of
"I just didn't expect you to go so far for Miranda," Hansel said, his voice tight with disbelief. He hadn't realized Miranda meant that much to Sam—enough to make him take such a reckless gamble and set up this elaborate scheme."A scheme?" Sam laughed lightly. "Not quite. I simply gave them a littl
Lucy and Franklin hadn't been killed by the truck, but they were close to it. Both were covered in blood, with their heads busted open and faces bruised.When the truck sped towards them, Franklin had still been rolling around on the ground, faking injury. By the time he realized what was happening,
"Are you still playing dumb? This is all your fault! If it weren't for you, how would your brother and I have ended up clashing with Hansel?" Lucy snapped.Now that there was no benefit to gain, she didn't feel the need to act like a caring mother anymore.Franklin was furious, and he chimed in, "Ha
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
