Bedford College's official statement made it clear that Joli wouldn't face any repercussions due to the whistleblowing incident. He would be allowed to select a new advisor aligned with his research direction, with the college facilitating the transition and communication process.The second point a
Evelyn replied, "You need to go. Don't think that just because you got into grad school, you can stop maintaining relationships. Your grades are still in their hands. Sending a little something never hurts. Look at the gourmet honey and bracelets from last time…""Gifts, gifts, gifts! All you ever t
"Alright," Joli agreed readily. After hanging up, he let out a subtle sigh of relief. Theodore scratched his head, confusion flickering in his eyes.At a coffee shop outside the campus, the flow of customers picking up their orders made the environment somewhat noisy. When Miranda and Madison arrive
"I… I'm not unhappy, just… it's so sudden. I can hardly believe it," Joli stammered, struggling to process how such good fortune could come his way.Madison leaned forward eagerly. "So you're saying yes?"Still hesitant, Joli asked again, "Are you sure this is really okay?"Miranda nodded reassuring
"At Infinity Lab, you'll have your own workspace, the freedom to propose your own projects, and even the chance to slowly build your research team," Miranda explained."I'm inviting you, not to change your research focus or adapt your goals to fit ours, but to offer you a better environment and more
Joli gave Madison a slight nod, and she quickly added, "Welcome aboard.""I have one more request…" Joli began hesitantly.Miranda interjected knowingly, "It's about Theodore, isn't it?"He looked up abruptly, surprise written all over his face. "How did you know?"Miranda smiled faintly. "I also kn
Sebastian's lips twitched. "What do you mean by all men? Don't lump me in with that.""Oh, please. Haven't you heard the saying? All men are the same!" Madison shot back.Sebastian emphasized, "Well, I'm not like him."Madison crossed her arms. "I don't believe you.""Then try me!" he challenged, tu
Paul glanced at her phone and sighed softly, with a trace of helplessness in his tone. "Cancel the ride. I'll take you home."Take you home…The words stirred something in Miranda's heart, and a faint smile touched her lips. "Alright."…Inside the car, the heater was on, and the chill was quickly d
Sawyer answered, "Alright."Soon, Miranda entered the house. "Grandma, did you call for me?""Come here, Miranda." Fiona beckoned her over. "Let me introduce you to the young scion of the Jensen family, Sawyer Jensen. You two probably met during the birthday banquet.""Nice to meet you," Miranda gre
Paul remained silent as he watched Sam walk away.How childish.Meanwhile, Miranda frowned. That couldn't be right. She had picked each one carefully and they all looked sweet. Sam was probably unlucky to eat a sour one. Paul and Sam picked two large baskets of strawberries and handed them over to
However, Sam's mind had long wandered elsewhere. Coincidentally, he stepped out of the study with a bright smile on his face when the maid came to call him. Sam hadn't gone to the office as he knew Miranda would be visiting. He specially came to the Garrison estate to wait for her instead. Sure en
Miranda felt that if she didn't find an excuse to get Joli out of the lab, he could easily stay there for an entire day. Then, he would pull another all-nighter. Did Joli really think he had some kind of superpower? He worked nonstop for two days with barely any sleep and no proper meals. Yet, he s
Miranda began, "Grandma, I—" "Aren, can you keep an eye on the fire for me? It's been stewing for three hours, and I just need this last touch. Make sure it's perfect, okay? It's too noisy here, so I'm going out to talk to Mimi."It sounded like Fiona had walked into the living room since the noise
Paul paused, then chuckled. "Why do you ask?"Miranda responded thoughtfully, "Because I think it's you. Am I right?"After a brief pause, he nodded. "Yeah."She smiled. "I knew it… No wonder you said we should let things calm down before making any moves. You'd already planned this beforehand, hadn
Madison sighed. "You don't get it."Sebastian gave her a puzzled look."I'm so stressed out," Madison wailed."What can I do to help?" When he saw the tears in her eyes, Sebastian panicked."I'm not getting enough sleep… Can I cut the morning run by ten minutes?" she sobbed."Sure," he said.Madison
Fiona sighed. "What's Mimi been up to lately? I've asked her to come home for dinner twice, but she keeps saying she's too busy. It's been more than a month since I've seen her."Aren put down his newspaper and glanced at her. "You're a grown woman. Why do you need your granddaughter around to keep
Miranda accepted the money and said, "I don't think Joli would accept it.""Just tell him it's from me, and refusing it would be rude. I'm sure he'll accept it," Christine said."Got it." After handling everything, Miranda resumed her usual routine. She shuttled between the lab, college, and home.
