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
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
