At this time, Lionel had gone to school, and Mindy was home alone. Since returning from Elgerson, she had already outlined her new book, planning a horror novel centered on campus ghost stories. Miranda had called earlier, inviting them to attend the lab's opening ceremony, but both she and Lionel

Winston pressed play, and the recording began."Do you think Mrs. Jiver would sign all those famous authors for no reason? She wouldn't just hand out free money unless there was something to gain… "With those rights in hand, she can repackage them and make easy money… She doesn't need to notify the
"The things you've done have been posted online. Now, dozens of authors are joining forces to sue you! They already have more than enough evidence. If this goes to court, I can tell you clearly that we'll lose, without a doubt!" Winston scolded.Edith's eyes widened in shock. "H-How could this happe

The police arrived swiftly. Upon receiving the report, the hotel immediately sent staff to cooperate with the investigation. First, they sealed off Paul's room and collected air samples. Next, they proceeded to the surveillance room to retrieve surveillance footage, accompanied by the hotel manager
"You— What's wrong?" Miranda asked. The heat from Paul's palm was like a burning hot iron. The moment he touched her wrist, Miranda felt an extraordinary scorching sensation from his skin. "Miranda, do you know what you're doing?"Miranda waved the fever patch in her hand. "I'm about to stick this
Miranda wasn't naive or inexperienced. She immediately recognized Paul's arousal. Could it be…"Did it not have any effect at all after soaking in cold water for so long?"Paul had his back to her, so Miranda couldn't see his expression. All she heard was a low, almost inaudible voice. "No…""Then y
Miranda spoke in a tone that was neither hot nor cold, her attitude as indifferent as always. Elizabeth couldn't help but glance inside the room. "Have you seen Dr. Jefferson?""Yes, we met at the banquet. We came back together.""And after that?" Elizabeth asked anxiously. "After what?" Miranda l
Elizabeth was pacing back and forth anxiously in the adjacent room. She glanced at her watch more than ten times in the last minute. She bit her lip as the quiet environment amplified the unease in her heart. She reached for her phone several times, but she put it back on the table in the end. Whe
Miranda sneered coldly. "Does this mean any woman with a bit of achievement must have climbed her way up by sleeping with men in your eyes? Speaking of which, let's just take a look at Dr. Rachel Browne from Echo Bay Institute of Technology. "Not only is she one of the country's top astrophysicists
Paul came looking for Miranda after asking a waiter for directions. Unexpectedly, he saw Wyatt chasing Miranda just as he approached. Paul blurted out those words in that moment of urgency when he saw Wyatt reaching out to grab her. Wyatt's hand froze in midair. Meanwhile, Miranda was momentarily
"Mind having a chat?" Wyatt asked.Although Miranda felt puzzled, she maintained a smile on her face. "I don't mind, but we don't seem to be in the same academic field.""Didn't you say during your speech at the forum yesterday that the charm of research comes from interdisciplinary collaboration? I
