After saying that, Miranda strode onto campus, leaving Hansel with a bitter smile.He muttered, "I never thought about doing anything like that… Am I really that terrible in your eyes?"Miranda went to class first. After class, she headed to the lab with Madison and Sebastian.There were still five
"Damn it!" Hank grabbed his foot, hopping around in pain. As he jumped, he let out a series of yelps.Miranda put on a look of surprise. "Oh, I'm so sorry. My hand slipped. But I'm sure getting hit is not a big deal to you because of your thick skin, right?"Seeing this, Madison turned and picked up
"I didn't have time to exercise during the day, so I'm running a bit more tonight," Paul replied.Miranda stood at the same step and waited for him to catch up with her, and then they continued walking up together. "Thanks for your help today. If it weren't for you, we would have been kicked out,"

At that time, they had just started dating. It was clear Miranda hadn't yet adjusted to having a boyfriend. Initially, Hansel had been furious, his anger burning within him. He had never waited for anyone in his life. Other people had always been the ones waiting for him. However, his anger had va
Hansel had suddenly turned up. Before Miranda could rush over to him happily, he had given an order, and a group of bodyguards had stormed into the estate. They had pulled up all the flower buds she had carefully planted by the roots!Hansel had exploded in anger. "I told you not to bother planting

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
Jenny's words dripped with sarcasm. It felt like someone had hit the pause button on the originally cheerful atmosphere as the smiles on everyone's faces froze. Lionel scratched his head and replied politely, "We were just lucky…""Oh please, don't be so modest! I've got terrible luck, and everyon
Mindy maintained a polite smile. "It's the thought that counts. After all, we're family. There's no need to compare."With that, Cynthia's expression softened into a genuine smile. "Mindy, you really do have a way with words. No wonder you're a famous writer."Jenny hadn't managed to gain the upper
Rena's smile widened and looked more genuine. "These are not cheap, right? You're really too much. We're just having a Christmas dinner with family, so there's no need to bring all these gifts."She wasn't like Jenny, who couldn't stand seeing others doing well. Her brother-in-law's success was a g
