"Miranda Sutton! Do you even know how many times I called you? You didn't pick up a single one of them!"It's been so long—if I hadn't called, were you planning to never reach out to me again in your life?"Winter was genuinely angry. Her words were coming out in a rapid-fire burst.Miranda scrolled
"Take a look, did I calculate this correctly?" Elizabeth asked.Sandy reviewed the data carefully and nodded. "It seems fine now."Yet Silas, with his seasoned experience, spotted the discrepancy right away. "These two values still don't match.""In the seventh row, both values are incorrect. It's n
Meanwhile, Silas shared the same thoughts. Therefore, he didn't step in to defend Miranda.Elizabeth continued, "It's important to have self-awareness, you know? A bioinformatics student trying to critique the physics group's experimental data. It's laughable."Just then, Bryan, who had been sitting
It was like… Telling a chef how to cook. No one would believe the instructions!Miranda looked at the stunned Elizabeth and calmly said, "Thank you for your guidance earlier. I understand that research work requires rigor, truthfulness, and practicality—these are the basic qualities of a researcher.
Hansel's face was full of barely contained irritation and impatience. He glanced at the time—it was only 9:00 pm. Yet, there were already four missed calls from home.Three of them were from his mom, and the last one was from Ingrid. She must have known he wouldn't pick up, so she only called once a
Hansel finally realized that Ingrid was far more cunning than he had imagined. He used to think she was pure, sweet, and innocent, but in reality, it was the opposite.He felt like a fool, deceived and manipulated by her schemes. Not to mention, it cost him… Miranda. If it wasn't for her, how could
Miranda was startled awake by the sound of knocking. She sat up abruptly, realizing that someone was knocking on her door."Who is it?" she asked cautiously through the door.Paul was working late at the lab that night, so if it was really an intruder, she had no one around to rely on.The knocking
Hansel was clearly the one who let go first. Now, when Miranda was finally accepting reality and stepping out of the shadows, he suddenly turned back and tried to pull her back into the past.Was it not amusing?"Hansel, don't keep pestering me. Don't make me start to hate you."Her firm and resolut
"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
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.
