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
The slap was loud and crisp. Penelope's actions were so swift. After she slapped Walter, she started scolding him loudly, "What did I tell you before we left the house? You have to behave and not touch other people's things. "You completely ignored me, didn't you? Hurry up and hand the documents o
Miranda pushed the door open and stepped out. She called out to the man tentatively, "Jack?"He turned, and a second later, his eyes lit up with surprise. "Mimi?"It really was Jack! He was Leonard and Rena's only son. Jack didn't have an umbrella, so his T-shirt was half-soaked, with water drippin
Soon, the dishes were served. Jack's phone rang constantly throughout the meal. He seemed to be discussing business matters. When he finally got a break, he turned to Miranda and said apologetically, "I'm sorry. I was so busy at Grandma's birthday banquet yesterday that I didn't even get a chance t
Miranda plopped down on the couch, stretched out her arms, and leaned back with a contented sigh. "It's so nice. It finally feels like home again."Lionel couldn't help but chuckle. "Of course it does. Three housekeepers worked upstairs and downstairs for a full three hours. Your mom supervised the
Warren exclaimed excitedly, "60 thousand!" Stunned, Mindy asked reflexively, "What do you mean, 60 thousand?""The daily sales! Yesterday's daily sales had exceeded 60 thousand books! It broke the sales record set by "Murder Weapon" back then! In the last ten… no, 20 years… There hasn't been a book
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
