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
"Payment?" Ingrid's eyes shifted stiffly. "Wasn't it always deducted directly from the account?""Sorry, the account has been frozen.""Frozen? Why?""It was frozen upon the account holder's request."Frozen on purpose…"Hahaha… Hansel, you are truly ruthless!"After spending over a month in the hos
Ingrid was thrown out."You refused to leave when you were told to. You just had to wait to be thrown out, huh? Now get lost!"It was pouring rain, and none of the security guards wanted to be out in it. It was all thanks to this crazy woman.…After the rain stopped, Ingrid wandered aimlessly throu
Ingrid asked, "Do you have food?"The woman chuckled softly, giving her a once-over. "Come inside."Ingrid glanced up at the neon sign above the door—Spark Plugs.She knew what awaited her if she stepped inside, but hunger, exhaustion, and her longing for luxury pulled her in like a spell. In the en
Miranda caught Madison's gaze, paused momentarily, and stood up.Madison thought she had backup and even got a little excited. She cheered in her mind. "With Miranda stepping in, she will shut her down."But instead, Miranda said, "Sorry, Dr. Quimby. This was our mistake. It won't happen again."Mad
Miranda, Madison, and Sebastian arrived at Room 312 right on time.Madison let out a relieved sigh. "2:30 pm on the dot. Perfect timing."They sat for about ten minutes, but no one showed up.Madison frowned. "What's going on? They bailed on us this morning, and now again?""Good thing we didn't sit
Paul said, "Miranda can't make it tonight.""Why not?" Silas frowned. "She's off to training camp."Silas froze for two seconds. "…Wait. What? She's representing the college in the biology division?""Yeah."Silas said, "Now that's a solid pick. They made a good choice this time. What were they thi
In the end, Miranda, Madison and Sebastian each ate a cup of instant noodles to fill their stomachs.Madison sighed. "First time cup noodles have ever tasted this good."Sebastian smirked. "Only because the cafeteria food set the bar so low."Miranda was speechless.It was still early, and their sch
This training camp before the academic exchange was basically a last-minute cram session. No one expected to gain any real expertise here—knowledge had to be built up over time, not crammed overnight. Trying to cram it all in at the last minute wouldn't help much.The real focus wasn't on learning a
That night, only Madison, Sebastian, and the stars bore witness to what happened.…Soon, Independence Day arrived. While the rest of the students celebrated the holiday, Madison, Sebastian, and Miranda kicked off a two-week intensive training camp arranged by the college.The training was held at a
Beckett confirmed with Hendrix again. "Are we really giving it to them? Three spots for the combined Master's and Doctorate program?"Hendrix clenched his jaw. "Yes. As long as they win the championship, three spots are nothing…""What? Even 300?" Beckett gawked. Had Hendrix lost his mind?Hendrix
Just as Miranda turned to leave, Beckett quickly stopped her. "Hey, wait! Ms. Sutton, don't be so quick to decide. Now that you're here…" His tone softened. "Let's talk this through. We can work something out, right?"She sneered. "Mr. Haddock, you didn't sound too open to compromise a minute ago.
Miranda continued, "We've accomplished something that no one else has. Doesn't that warrant special treatment and a new precedent?"Her words were sharp, cutting straight to the bone. Hendrix and Beckett were left speechless.She had a point. She wasn't asking for direct admission just for particip
