"I have something else to take care of. I'll take my leave," said MirandaMicah refused to let her leave just like that. "All these years, Hansel has treated you like his belonging and hid you in his house. I couldn't even meet you."Miranda looked up as her smile faded. "What are you trying to say?

Ingrid strode down the stairs in huge steps and darted toward the entrance. She easily found Hansel's car parked by the roadside.He leaned against the front of the car. He wore a cream t-shirt inside his dark grey coat with a pair of sleek black casual pants. It made him look like a student, young

"Mrs. Jefferson, this toast is to welcome you to Lumberville!" Jenny exclaimed. "You should go around and explore while you're here. There's quite a bit of beautiful scenery in this city. "I would also like to thank you for your hospitality. You treated our entire family with such wonderful food an

"Mrs. Jefferson, you're too kind," Mindy said.Susan had a pretty good impression of Mindy. It wasn't just because of the dress back then, but also because of Mindy's family background. She came from a truly prestigious and prominent lineage as a lady of the Garrison family. However, she met with m
"Felix? Susan?" Miranda exclaimed. She was momentarily stunned to see them standing at the front door with a suitcase. Her eyes widened in surprise. Paul turned to her and said helplessly, "Miranda… my parents are here."She quickly regained her composure and stepped forward with a smile. "Felix, S
Under Susan's gaze, Jenny felt a chill run down her spine. "You… Why are you acting so weird? Are you mute? You don't look like it from how you're dressed."She shot Susan a glare and muttered, "Crazy woman," before heading back into her apartment building. Susan stayed rooted to the spot. Her face

Paul's genes ensured both good looks and a decent figure. On top of that, judging by how generous he was with his gifts, he clearly wasn't just an ordinary college professor. He probably came from an affluent family. Elite families like his often went back several generations, which meant his rela
Since it was the end of the year, the students were all on holiday. The vast school grounds felt a little deserted. Dallas Urban, the school's security guard, noticed Lionel coming from a distance. He stepped out of the guard booth and greeted him cheerfully, "Mr. Sutton!" Then his gaze landed on
"There's still a pile of pots and pans in the kitchen waiting to be cleaned," Jenny complained."I'm just like a maid that's born to toil endlessly, unlike you who can enjoy such an easy life. "You should really learn from Lionel. He cooks every time they host a gathering. You two are brothers, but
