Miranda probed further, "So, whose call did you get yesterday? You were so angry that you got hospitalized."Christine snorted in response. Miranda remained calm. "Let me guess… Could it be the dean? No, he wouldn't bother with such trivial matters. "Then maybe… Mr. Banks? But I heard he has been
After reassuring Christine, Miranda helped her wash up and reminded her to finish the IV drip before going through with the hospital discharge. Before leaving, she called Olivia aside. "I've spoken to Dr. Young, there will be a car to take you both to the retreat tomorrow. While you're away, I'm co
"It's all thanks to the two construction teams from Mr. Cooper," Jack said.Initially, he brought them over to construct the foundation, but Jack quickly realized he had underestimated their skills. Not only were they great at civil work, but these people were also professionals in interior design a
Illuminated by the streetlights, Miranda and her two companions chatted as they walked. The cold wind blew, and their breath instantly turned to mist that rose slowly into the dark sky. "Mimi, do you want a latte? It's my treat…" Jack grinned, flashing her a bright smile. Miranda was about to rep
Jack was at a loss for words. "Mr. Cooper, you can let go of me now," Miranda said. Sam smirked, as if he had only just realized he was hugging her. Instead of releasing Miranda, his hand settled from a light touch to being firmly placed on her shoulder. Her figure was slender and delicate. At fi
At the end of December, Elgerson welcomed the second snowfall of the winter. This snowfall was much heavier than the previous one and lasted almost two days. The entire city was blanketed in white snow. Early in the morning, Miranda knocked on Paul's door, feeling a little apologetic and guilty. "
Miranda said nothing. The lab needing to undergo renovations was a fact, and so was the lack of results. There was nothing to argue about. She sat back down. Coincidentally, she was seated next to Tina, who couldn't help but chuckle. "So, you're finally getting what you deserve, Miranda."Miranda r
Joseph asked, "Has every group finished their reports? Are there any other matters to submit?"According to convention, there would be some allocated time to announce any official submissions to the faculty after the presentations by each research group. Such announcements during the review meeting
Harold came in behind Jenny. He was so quiet that his presence was easily overlooked. Meanwhile, Quincey barely said a word as she kept her head down, her eyes glued to the phone. "Rena, you arrived really early this time. I've never seen you and Leonard so enthusiastic before. Guess things have ch
Miranda stood in front of the mirror, tidying up her messy hair. Behind her, Paul was fully dressed. He walked over and wrapped his arms around her. "Stop it, I just fixed my hair… Look, you even smudged my lipstick," Miranda grumbled, pushing him away. "Mimi, the way you said that makes it sound
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
