Jenny continued with a smile. "Doesn't Lionel and Mindy live in a big villa? We could arrange for all the relatives from the countryside to stay at their place! "It has multiple floors, luxurious decor, and all the amenities like central heating and air ventilation available. No one would complain
Only the third son, Lionel, wasn't doing as well as his brothers. He graduated from a prestigious university but ended up becoming a teacher. It sounded respectable, but it didn't make much money!Penelope had often thought to herself that not all of Anna's children were destined for wealth, but now
Although Mindy had warned her in advance, Miranda was still utterly shocked by the scene before her when she stepped through the door. She even stepped back outside to double-check, making sure it was indeed her own home. The light gray floor was dirty with shoe prints and trash. People were chatti
The television LCD screen had completely shattered beyond repair. The adults from both families arrived late to the scene. First, they scolded their kids, then they turned and apologized to Lionel. At first glance, their manners seemed polite enough. However, after listening closely, their words so
Penelope continued, "You can stop making excuses. I'm not from the city, and I can't stomach food from outside. For goodness sake, I'm your elder. Is it such a big deal to ask you to cook me some breakfast? If you refuse, I'll go talk to your mother-in-law about this!" She then started groaning, sa
Jenny went around the villa to greet all of the relatives with a smile. Then, she walked up to Mindy with her arms crossed. "Mindy, I'm not trying to be difficult, but your house is a mess. Aren't you going to clean it up?"Mindy had tried to clean up the house, but the house would end up even messi
Miranda turned on her laptop immediately as she had surveillance cameras in her room. Soon, she found the footage from the day and zoomed in on the scene. Sure enough, Miranda recognized that it was Penelope's precious grandson, Walter Sutton, who had done it. Without hesitation, she headed downsta
Camie continued, "Even if he did take it, so what? It's just some useless papers, right? Are you going to hit him or kill him over those documents? You claim to be so rich, yet you're making a fuss over a child who is barely a few years old! "Look at him; you've scared him terribly! My son is in po
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
