The birthday banquet had been a disaster, and Nelly was sent back to the Cooper family estate against her will. Timothy hadn't shown up at all. Apparently, he had gone abroad on a business trip.For the next two days, she tried to contact him. Every time she called, his phone was either off or out o
Nelly felt that she couldn't just sit back and do nothing. She had gone to great lengths and used unethical means to marry Timothy.After decades together and a grown child, she couldn't bear the thought of being abandoned by him now. Otherwise, what had all her sacrifices been for?She took a deep
Nelly froze, and her entire body trembled as she tried to hold herself together."You can accuse me of hurting Minnie or blame me for scheming to marry you, but you can't question Sam's identity. That's not just an insult to me, but it's a betrayal to our son." Timothy raised an eyebrow. "So, you'r
Nelly froze, and her face was etched with disbelief. Her hands and feet turned ice-cold, and her body trembled. "You… you knew about that?" Timothy scoffed. "Do I look like someone who can be played for a fool?" He definitely wouldn't raise another man's child.As a direct descendant of the Cooper
"Yes," Timothy answered calmly. From a certain angle, he and Sam looked strikingly similar.Timothy pried Nelly's hand off his arm and strode away. As he passed Sam, he paused to pat him on the shoulder before leaving.She stood frozen as she watched how calm and unaffected they both were. Then, so
Sam couldn't figure out how Timothy had seen right through him."Tell me. Why do we Cooper men always seem to crash and burn when it comes to Minnie and Miranda?" Timothy asked.Sam stayed silent."Must run in the family, huh? Damn! What a load of crap," Timothy said with a short, bitter laugh as he
It wasn't surprising that the faculty and the college were on edge after Miranda's research paper was published in "Nature Biotechnology".According to the latest global rankings from the Journal Citation Reports, "Nature" was ranked tenth with an impact factor of 40.137. In contrast, "Nature Biotec
"Research and academic competitions are two different matters. Besides, we've already finalized the research team for the international exchange program. We're pushing full throttle on the competition training," Hendrix said.He added, "Plus, changing the team at the last minute isn't the wisest cho
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.
"That's great news, Mr. Zeller!" Joli almost jumped in excitement. "My parents and I are heading to the city in two days, so we'll stop by to visit Theodore then… "Don't worry, everything's taken care of… It's true. I'm not lying to you. The Snider brothers were taken in by the police yesterday."
After reviewing the contract, Joli signed his name. He handed it back to Miranda with both hands and assured her, "I won't let the lab lose a penny."She smiled faintly. "I trust my instincts."This was the second time she had extended a hand to him.Joli's heart was overflowing with gratitude, but
