Yasmine was also afraid of getting hit, so her eyes darted nervously toward Madison. Given Madison's size, Yasmine couldn't help but think about how painful it would be if she swung at someone.So, she quickly shoved Hank forward and exclaimed, "How dare you hide behind me!"He stared at her, speech
Miranda's gaze turned icy as she slapped Tina.The sound of that slap silenced the entire room.Even Tina was dumbfounded. "You— How dare you hit me!""Why wouldn't I?" Miranda shot back. She added, "You insulted me first, and I'm just trying to stand up for myself. We're in college, not your home.
Miranda said, "Fighting and causing trouble are two different things. Yes, we fought, but let's not forget who started it. The administration might back Sophie, but the college might have a different view."According to the usual investigation process, they have to understand the cause before the co
Miranda knew she could count on Paul to back her up. She said, "You've already handed over your keys. I'm definitely not giving up mine.""Why not?" Madison asked."Come on, think. If we hand over all the keys, how are we supposed to get the CPRT measuring device out? Are we going to break in?" Mad
Not only had Miranda thought about it, but she was already taking action. Of course, she couldn't tell Joli that. Instead, she said, "Where there's a will, there's a way. We'll figure it out.""Then, I wish you all the best," he replied and turned to leave."Joli!" Suddenly, she called after him. "S
Tina stormed into the house, slamming the door behind her. "Martha! Get me an ice pack!" she shouted.Evelyn looked up in confusion. "An ice pack? In this cold weather?""Mom, did you know I got hit today?" Tina screamed."What!" Evelyn's voice shot up, her face turning furious. "Who hit you? Who'd
Paul was waiting for her? What for?"Is there something important you need from me?" Miranda immediately became serious."Yes, and I think it's… good news for you.""What is it?" Miranda's eyes sparkled with curiosity. The more Paul teased, the more curious she became."Well, here's the thing…"The
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
