Miranda said, "These documents should be helpful for the case.""You're very thoughtful. Thank you," Paul replied. "That's the second time.""Huh?""This is the second time you've thanked me since you woke up.""Well…" Paul scratched his head, looking surprisingly awkward. "I can't think of what el
They inquired about the progress of the case. The police informed them that they were still investigating, and it was yet to be decided whether a formal case would be opened. Neither of them was too disappointed as they had expected that answer. After submitting the relevant hospital reports and e
In the past, Elizabeth might have felt dejected for a while. However, she felt an unexpected sense of relief this time. When she returned home, her parents asked about what happened at the summit. Elizabeth brushed them off with a few vague sentences. Then, she excused herself by saying she was ti
The news came like a bolt out of the blue. Bryan woke up on a seemingly ordinary morning. He immediately checked his phone for any missed calls or messages.There were some, but none from Elizabeth. Feeling disappointed, he got up, washed his face, and headed out. His phone rang as soon as he arri
Paul could fire anyone in the lab with a mere sentence.Yet, until now, Silas and the others had never considered the possibility that one of them would leave the lab under the pretext of "termination of employment".Sandy was stunned. The word "firing" had come out of nowhere. What did "due to cert
Elizabeth stormed into the lab and marched toward Paul. "Why did you fire me?" she demanded. "Was it because I took a week off for sick leave? Or did something go wrong with the project?"He looked at her, then scoffed. "Just because the police couldn't figure out who did it doesn't mean I don't kno
"You didn't even come after me? Bryan, do you even care about me?" Elizabeth said.After a long pause, he finally responded, "…Where are you?"She replied, "At the coffee shop by the campus gate. You've got five minutes to get here."He responded with a hum. By the time he reached the coffee shop,
At the end of May, Mindy traveled to Jandersville for the launch event of an Intellectual Property adaptation movie.Since it was the weekend, Lionel accompanied his wife. He also brought Miranda a large bag of pre-packaged braised beef and six cans of homemade pickles."It's all organic and no addi
After returning from the Garrison estate, Miranda finally learned that Paul had actually abandoned his work at the lab midway just to have dinner with her family."Dr. Jefferson, please come to the lab tomorrow to continue authorizing the access permissions." Esme's flat and emotionless voice came t
Paul had arrived quickly. During dinner, he had beaten Sam to it when he tried to sit next to Miranda. Sam had tried to take the seat on the opposite side, but Fiona had cut in and taken that seat before he could. …"So were you deliberately stalling him when you said the remote was broken before t
Aren couldn't understand it. "Why are you in such a rush? Sam has been single for quite some time, and you've never reacted this strongly before."Of all things, she wanted to set up a blind date."You… you're not sleepwalking, right?" Aren asked cautiously. Fiona turned to glare at him immediately
"Huh? Why didn't I hear Sam start his car? Has he left? Let me take a look…" Aren muttered as he walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and peered out. "I knew it! His car is still there. He didn't leave at all. Could his car be stuck in the snow? That doesn't make sense… It hasn't been snowing long
The night was dark and silent as the heavy snow fell. Inside the estate, Fiona glanced out the window. "Oh, it looks like it's snowing outside," she said. Sam remained indifferent as it snowed every year in Elgerson. To him.. Or rather, snow was nothing special to anyone who grew up in Elgerson.
Aren nodded. "That works too. Sam, you don't need to send them off then. Head home and rest early."Sam remained silent. Before long, a maid came in and reported, "Both boxes have been loaded into Dr. Jefferson's car."Paul bid farewell to the elderly couple. "Mr. and Mrs. Garrison Senior, we'll he
Miranda was completely unaware of what was happening at the chessboard. At that moment, she was sitting on the couch and watching a dating reality show with Fiona. Yes, a dating show. In Fiona's own words, she said, "I just love watching young people fall in love. If I happen to find a couple I li
Since Paul had arrived, Fiona invited everyone to head to the dining room. Sam caught up to him and said dryly, "Dr. Jefferson, you seem quite free today."Paul replied, "It's the end of the year, so both the college and the labs are starting their holiday break. Perhaps the only ones still busy at
Sam brought his laptop to the living room and sat cross-legged in front of the coffee table. The thick wool carpet and the warmth of the heater kept the winter chill at bay. He began working in an orderly manner. From the business department to branding, then over to finance and human resources… E
