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
"Woah…"A collective gasp filled the large classroom."Paul Jefferson? Is it the Paul Jefferson I'm thinking of?""Uh! How many Paul Jeffersons are there at Bedford College?""Well, okay.""Oh my God! He's the one teaching us? He's so tall and handsome!"Everyone was captivated by the sight. People
"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
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
