The more Evelyn thought about it, the angrier she became. The angrier she got, the more unwilling she was to let it go. She then actually chased after them.Normally, she would never stoop to this level, thinking that only desperate people would cling on like this. But right now, she was no differen
Winter sneered, "Talk about a petty person getting her way. She even smells like a bitch.""You shouldn't have stopped me earlier." She had only used a fraction of her strength—if things had really escalated, that old witch wouldn't have stood a chance.Recalling Ingrid's sour expression as she left
After dropping Ingrid off at her campus gate, Evelyn reminded her a few more times to stay safe and take care of her pregnancy. Only then did she instruct the driver, "Let's go back.""Yes, ma'am," the driver replied.Sitting in the back seat, Evelyn glanced at the hideous scarf beside her and could
In Evelyn's mind, her son was the best.No matter what, her daughter-in-law's education couldn't be lower than a Master's degree, preferably with a background from an overseas prestigious university. Ingrid fell far short in every aspect. Evelyn only reluctantly agreed to meet her because of the ba
Miranda's expression turned cold. "My interview video was seen by everyone online. If you still have doubts about my score, feel free to report it to the school. Don't just make baseless accusations."This society makes spreading rumors too easy. Take, for example, the person who posted that photo o
Tina was overjoyed. "Really? Will that be possible?!""Of course," said Sophie"I'd love to! I've admired you for a long time, and becoming your graduate student has always been my dream."It seemed Tina had completely forgotten that she had just come from Christine's house."Then it's settled. Your
Christine had just received news that this year, 70% of the graduate funding at the college had been allocated to Sophie's research team, with the remainder going to hers.After accounting for various expenses, the portion she could actually use might be less than 20%.Over the years, due to a lack
Miranda had an idea, but before acting on it, she needed to wait a bit longer…She'd have to wait until the contract expired so she could proceed with the next steps.…One day, Miranda set out as usual, planning to head to the library. As she stepped out of her apartment building, she ran into Paul
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
They made it back from the school to Harold's place just in time for dinner. After dinner, Lionel and his family said their goodbyes. Upon seeing this, Leonard's family made their exit right after. Jenny walked them to the door before collapsing onto the couch, clutching her lower back. "What a ti
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
"I'm cooking something," Paul said. "Why are you cooking this late at night?" Susan asked. "I wanted a midnight snack."Susan knew her son didn't normally eat late. Clearly, he was cooking for someone else. The thought worsened her mood. "When are you planning to come back to Elgerson?" she asked
Suddenly, Miranda stopped walking. She turned to face Paul and said seriously, "Thank you, Paul, for coming to Lumberville to spend Christmas with me. And… thank you for being in my life."Paul was slightly taken aback. Then, he gently squeezed her hand. "You dummy. I should be the one thanking you.
Yale wasn't too pleased. "But… I was just trying to clear the way for you. Am I wrong for doing that?"He couldn't help but feel a little wronged. Paul softened his tone and explained, "That's not what I meant. First off, Mom had already agreed to me coming to Lumberville. There was no need for lie
"Oh, you're back? What were you guys doing?" Lionel came out of the kitchen, still wearing his apron. He looked a little puzzled when he saw everyone gathered around Paul and Miranda. "Dad…" Miranda was about to go over with the shopping bags, but Paul had already taken them from her before she cou
