"It's still the same. No one is answering," said Sebastian."Unbelievable! The faculty's dodging responsibility, and now the organizers are playing dead. Don't tell me there's nothing fishy going on here!" Madison huffed.Miranda paused for a moment, an idea forming in her mind. "For competitions of
Miranda blinked in confusion.Paul chuckled. "Does it sound a little far-fetched? Just wait until you meet him. You'll see for yourself."Ten minutes later, a tall figure appeared before them. "Hey, Paul!"Miranda looked up, and even though she thought she was prepared, her eyes widened in shock.Th
"Speaking of this year's competition," Owen began, his tone a mix of exasperation and resignation, "I don't know if it's the students nowadays or just the overall academic atmosphere becoming so impatient and shallow. "About 50% of the submitted projects were just flashy and superficial, 40% were c
Theodore sobbed like a child. He had always known he didn't belong in Yasmine's little clique. Their exclusion of him wasn't subtle—it was blatant and deliberate.At one point, Theodore had clumsily tried to fit in. After all, humans were social creatures. In such an environment, anyone who could jo
Theodore mumbled hesitantly, "I didn't receive anything…"Joli gritted his teeth. "Stay here in the dorm. Don't go anywhere. I'll handle this."With that, he turned and left the dorm, heading straight to Sophie's office. He raised his hand, ready to knock, but paused when he overheard voices from in
"Aunt Sophie?" Yasmine looked confused."You had him do the work, then scratched his name off the list. Do you think Theodore would take that lying down?" Sophie scolded."Why should I care if he's upset? Am I supposed to be afraid of him?" Yasmine tilted her chin defiantly."You don't need to fear
The post spanned ten pages and was packed with explosive revelations. The whistleblower was none other than Sophie's own protégé, Joli.He had accused her of academic fraud, favoritism in admitting graduate students, accepting bribes while colluding with external companies, and having her niece Yasm
Emilia was at a loss for words. After a long pause, she finally spoke again. "One last question. Did you reject my résumé because I truly wasn't a good fit, or was it because… I gave you that candle?"Paul answered, "You truly weren't a good fit."He hesitated for a moment before elaborating, "Your
Only a fairy like Miranda could tame a slave driver like Paul!Bryan added, "You really saved the day and brought peace on earth."Miranda chuckled. "You guys are really too dramatic."As Sandy took the plate of food Paul handed to her, she pointed at the computer screen nearby. "Let me tell you, we
The person on the other end was shocked. "How is that possible?"Realizing he might have overreacted, he quickly added, "Maybe… they just haven't sent out all the notifications yet. My qualifications aren't as good as yours, and my research achievements are much weaker. There's no reason I got selec
Winter soon ended her call with Miranda, feeling dejected. She tossed and turned in bed, an uneasy creeping up within her. Suddenly, she sat up. "Why do I feel like I got tricked?"Meanwhile, Miranda hummed a tune after the call. Feeling good, she went to take a shower. After drying her hair, she
As Miranda and Paul reached the apartment building, she couldn't help but ask, "Why do you keep touching your head?"Instinctively, Paul rubbed his head again. "Tsk, that kid pulled really hard. I bet he yanked out a few strands of hair.""Yanked?" Miranda was puzzled. Paul nodded. "It felt a littl
Miranda nodded. "Alright. How about I trade the stuffed toys for you?"Austin's eyes widened in shock. "You want me?""Yes.""No way! Human trafficking is illegal!"Miranda retorted, "This isn't trafficking. It's a prize, so no money is involved.""It's still not allowed!""Why not?"Austin spoke cl
Someone in the crowd started to cheer, while others clapped. Paul and Miranda exchanged a glance and came to the same decision. "Let's run!" They finally stopped after putting some distance between themselves and the crowd. Miranda shot him a look. "Don't ambush me like that next time."Paul def
"Okay," Paul agreed without hesitation. The square was bustling with people, brimming with excitement and energy.To the left was the dance area, where a group of elderly women were swaying their hips to the music. They were surprisingly in sync. To the right, street vendors lined the walkway, sel
Just as Zach thought he had turned the tables, Winter pinched the softest part of his waist and twisted it a full 180 degrees. "Ouch!" he yelped in pain. Winter flashed him a sweet smile. "What do you think I'm doing?"Zach didn't reply. It was better to not mess with a fierce tigress like her!Wi
