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
Harold came in behind Jenny. He was so quiet that his presence was easily overlooked. Meanwhile, Quincey barely said a word as she kept her head down, her eyes glued to the phone. "Rena, you arrived really early this time. I've never seen you and Leonard so enthusiastic before. Guess things have ch
Miranda stood in front of the mirror, tidying up her messy hair. Behind her, Paul was fully dressed. He walked over and wrapped his arms around her. "Stop it, I just fixed my hair… Look, you even smudged my lipstick," Miranda grumbled, pushing him away. "Mimi, the way you said that makes it sound
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
