Jenny continued with a smile. "Doesn't Lionel and Mindy live in a big villa? We could arrange for all the relatives from the countryside to stay at their place! "It has multiple floors, luxurious decor, and all the amenities like central heating and air ventilation available. No one would complain
Only the third son, Lionel, wasn't doing as well as his brothers. He graduated from a prestigious university but ended up becoming a teacher. It sounded respectable, but it didn't make much money!Penelope had often thought to herself that not all of Anna's children were destined for wealth, but now
Although Mindy had warned her in advance, Miranda was still utterly shocked by the scene before her when she stepped through the door. She even stepped back outside to double-check, making sure it was indeed her own home. The light gray floor was dirty with shoe prints and trash. People were chatti
The television LCD screen had completely shattered beyond repair. The adults from both families arrived late to the scene. First, they scolded their kids, then they turned and apologized to Lionel. At first glance, their manners seemed polite enough. However, after listening closely, their words so
Penelope continued, "You can stop making excuses. I'm not from the city, and I can't stomach food from outside. For goodness sake, I'm your elder. Is it such a big deal to ask you to cook me some breakfast? If you refuse, I'll go talk to your mother-in-law about this!" She then started groaning, sa
Jenny went around the villa to greet all of the relatives with a smile. Then, she walked up to Mindy with her arms crossed. "Mindy, I'm not trying to be difficult, but your house is a mess. Aren't you going to clean it up?"Mindy had tried to clean up the house, but the house would end up even messi
Miranda turned on her laptop immediately as she had surveillance cameras in her room. Soon, she found the footage from the day and zoomed in on the scene. Sure enough, Miranda recognized that it was Penelope's precious grandson, Walter Sutton, who had done it. Without hesitation, she headed downsta
Camie continued, "Even if he did take it, so what? It's just some useless papers, right? Are you going to hit him or kill him over those documents? You claim to be so rich, yet you're making a fuss over a child who is barely a few years old! "Look at him; you've scared him terribly! My son is in po
Aren couldn't understand it. "Why are you in such a rush? Sam has been single for quite some time, and you've never reacted this strongly before."Of all things, she wanted to set up a blind date."You… you're not sleepwalking, right?" Aren asked cautiously. Fiona turned to glare at him immediately
"Huh? Why didn't I hear Sam start his car? Has he left? Let me take a look…" Aren muttered as he walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and peered out. "I knew it! His car is still there. He didn't leave at all. Could his car be stuck in the snow? That doesn't make sense… It hasn't been snowing long
The night was dark and silent as the heavy snow fell. Inside the estate, Fiona glanced out the window. "Oh, it looks like it's snowing outside," she said. Sam remained indifferent as it snowed every year in Elgerson. To him.. Or rather, snow was nothing special to anyone who grew up in Elgerson.
Aren nodded. "That works too. Sam, you don't need to send them off then. Head home and rest early."Sam remained silent. Before long, a maid came in and reported, "Both boxes have been loaded into Dr. Jefferson's car."Paul bid farewell to the elderly couple. "Mr. and Mrs. Garrison Senior, we'll he
Miranda was completely unaware of what was happening at the chessboard. At that moment, she was sitting on the couch and watching a dating reality show with Fiona. Yes, a dating show. In Fiona's own words, she said, "I just love watching young people fall in love. If I happen to find a couple I li
Since Paul had arrived, Fiona invited everyone to head to the dining room. Sam caught up to him and said dryly, "Dr. Jefferson, you seem quite free today."Paul replied, "It's the end of the year, so both the college and the labs are starting their holiday break. Perhaps the only ones still busy at
Sam brought his laptop to the living room and sat cross-legged in front of the coffee table. The thick wool carpet and the warmth of the heater kept the winter chill at bay. He began working in an orderly manner. From the business department to branding, then over to finance and human resources… E
"Sam is getting better at taking care of others," Fiona teased, chuckling. "When are you going to bring home a granddaughter-in-law for us?"Sam nearly choked on his food and coughed lightly. "Grandma, where did that come from?"Fiona immediately straightened up. "Do you think I'm joking? I'm seriou
After Miranda finished with her drink, Paul took the glass and placed it aside. Exhausted, she lay back down on the bed. Soon, Paul lifted the covers and slid beside her. "By the way," Miranda said, "Grandma asked me to visit the estate tomorrow. Do you have time to come with me?""Tomorrow?" Paul
