"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
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
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
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 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
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
"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
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
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
