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
Ingrid started to laugh…Suddenly, the door to the storage room was pushed open from the outside, and a man walked in. With his arrival, the lights flickered on brightly."Damn it—she cut her wrist! How were you guys watching her?" The manager angrily scolded the two men in black, then turned to the

"Oh, alright! Miranda, go a—"Before Madison could finish her sentence, Miranda was already far away.Madison stood there, puzzled. "Why is she in such a hurry?" It was rare to see Miranda this flustered and in such a rush.Miranda had hurried out of the lecture hall, following Paul down the shaded
Walking on the snow-covered ground was a struggle as one foot would be deep in snow, while the other was on the surface. However, it was pure joy for Miranda. As soon as the sky brightened, she rushed downstairs to play in the snow for several days in a row. Ever since Paul went to the lab that da
"It smells amazing…" As soon as Paul stepped into the house, he was greeted by a rich aroma of something baking. Miranda walked out of the kitchen with a smile. She held a slice of rum cake on a plate in her hands. "Your nose is quite sharp, huh?""It smells too good. How could I not smell it?""T
"Just some daily necessities." Miranda's reaction was quick, and she hesitated for only two seconds. Sam's gaze sharpened, and his lips pressed into a thin line. The shipping label on the topmost parcel in the shopping bag gave nothing away, but the word "Durex" was printed on the packing tape wra
Miranda turned and left the alley. She headed toward the supermarket happily. Apart from fresh vegetables and fruits, she also bought butter, heavy cream, flour, and other baking ingredients. She planned to use up those bottles of fresh milk just in time before they expired. On her way home, Miran

Paul really was a better man than him.At this thought, Hansel lowered his gaze and smiled self-mockingly. It served him right."This is karma," he thought. Hansel wasn't the only one staring blankly out the window, lost in thought. There was also… Sam. The glaring words on his phone screen felt l
Miranda posted nine photos on her social media with a caption, "From my boyfriend."She was frustrated. Why was she restricted to only nine photos on her feed? If she posted more than nine, it would turn into a video automatically. If she could, she would have posted 90 photos. After all, they were
As soon as Miranda stepped out of the building, she swept her gaze across the vast stretch of white snow and saw a man dressed in a down jacket. Paul turned to Miranda with a smile the moment he heard the sound of footsteps. Stunned, Miranda exclaimed in surprise, "Paul? When did you come downstai
