When Minnie disappeared, she was already 22 years old. Even if she had been unable to control her situation back then, after more than 20 years, she would surely have found a way to contact her parents if she were still alive.But there had been nothing—not a single call, not even a message. Yet the
Nelly stared at the disconnected phone, seething with rage. She flipped over the tray in front of her, spilling the freshly blended smoothie onto the floor. The glass shattered on the tiles, producing a sharp cracking sound."Mrs. Cooper…" The maids looked on, terrified."Get out! All of you, get ou
"Hah... Of course, I do. You all blame me for that incident. Dad, Mom, and you!"You all think that back then, when Minnie and I went out, it's my burden to bear because she disappeared while I came back, right?" Nelly's voice cracked with bitterness. "You all wish I hadn't come back, that I'd died
As they passed by the shop, Mindy suddenly stopped and mentioned that she wanted to have some castella. Miranda glanced around, noticing that the shop looked quite old-fashioned, with outdated décor and no promotional posters.One had to walk all the way inside to see the menu of pastries listed on
Miranda asked, "Would you like to try some castella? I can get you a piece."Fiona was about to respond when Sam's phone rang. Whatever he heard on the other end made his expression turn cold immediately."Alright, I understand. Keep the situation under control. I'll get there as soon as I can," he
After visiting the garden and enjoying the castella, Mindy felt completely satisfied. The next day, she and Lionel headed back to Lumberville. Miranda had accompanied them to the train station.Upon hearing the news, Warren rushed over. "Ms. Harrison, these are letters from your fans sent to the pub
As they passed through the home essentials section, Paul paused and asked, "Do you need anything from here?"Miranda remembered that she was running low on both body wash and laundry detergent. "Yes, I do," she replied.While she was picking out the body wash, Paul was also adding items to the cart.
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
That night, Paul and Miranda were resting against the headboard on the bed after washing up. One was reading a book, while the other was scrolling on her phone when they started discussing the matter. Miranda asked, "So, the Lancets decided to let it go just like that?"Paul replied, "What else? Th
By the end, Yolanda was nearly shouting. Alex met her gaze directly and shattered her denial with the calmest tone he could muster, "The DNA test report confirmed it. He is indeed my son.""You… you…" Yolanda couldn't even form a coherent sentence. It took her a long time to steady herself. She to
Alex staggered backward in shock. Yale blurted out, "Damn! Alex, you're really something. You pulled a two-for-one special! Heh…" Before he could finish laughing, Alex shot him a freezing glare that instantly shut him up. Felix first glanced at Susan, then at Alex who looked completely dumbfounded
