"We're finally done!" Madison closed her laptop with a deep sigh of relief, surrounded by a pile of empty soda cans. Sebastian suggested, "Let's go. I'll treat you both to dinner."Neither Miranda nor Madison declined the offer. They would have to work together for a long time, so there would be pl
Sebastian got up to pay the bill when they were almost done eating.As they were about to leave, they ran into Hank, Yasmine, Willow, and Theodore, who were entering the restaurant.Only TIna was absent. It wasn't surprising that she wasn't there. With her status, Tina never visited restaurants of s
Hank panicked and said, "Hey, w-what are you doing? Do you want me to sue you for invasion of privacy?"Madison replied, "This is a public place and it's legal to make a recording. Feel free to sue me, but I'm just a concerned citizen of Jandersville." "You—you guys…" Hank was so angry that he rese
The car stopped at the entrance of an alley, and Miranda got out. Sebastian and Madison had already gotten out ahead of her. Miranda walked in the direction of her apartment. Illuminated by the gentle moonlight, a few sparse stars dotted the night sky. The wind wasn't cooling as it carried the ling
Miranda regretted it the moment the words left her mouth. However, once spoken, she couldn't retract her words, just like water spilled on the ground. Sam replied, "You, of course."He was interested in her. Miranda looked up at the ceiling in exasperation.Sam's lips twitched. "Stop pretending. I
"Huh?" Matthew took some time to wrap his head around what Sam said. "Who delivered it? And when? Did you even mention this to me?"Sam answered, "I happened to be on campus today. In the afternoon, I heard you saying that the USB drive was for Miranda, so I took it to her for you.""Oh, I see… Why
Both of them went into the console room. Miranda didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point. "Dr. Young, I think there's an issue with your research approach."She didn't wait for Christine to respond and handed her a document before continuing, "Over the weekend, the three of us rev
It was hard to turn back now that they were in too deep. "But fortunately, someone has finally identified the problem," Christine sighed. Miranda couldn't believe that everyone else remained oblivious to the problem in their research. However, they had no choice but to let things continue and make
"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.
