As night fell, the moonlight shone bright and clear. A gust of cold wind blew. Miranda walked to the main entrance of the lab and looked back for a moment. Then, she said, "Transcend, turn off the lights."A robotic voice sounded out of nowhere, "Miranda, please verify authorization."When she look
Miranda opened the car door and was about to get out. Suddenly, Sam called her back, "I have another question."She turned back. "What question?"Sam waved the invitation in his hand. "Does Hansel have one?"Miranda deadpanned, "Can you not mention him?""Well, as expected. I just wanted to confirm.
Miranda helped Paul back to his home and made sure he was settled. After confirming multiple times that he was fully conscious and could take care of himself, only then did she return to her own place. Miranda was sweating from the exertion, so she took off the padded jacket. Perhaps she had been t
Audrey spent her days collecting rent with Mason and focusing on her beauty regime at home. Otherwise, how else could she stay so young, beautiful, and fashionable? When Madison complimented her, it really made her happy."Mom, Dad, let me introduce you to my classmates. They're my close friends who
Joseph only saw a five-story building, seemingly just completed, towering over the empty wastelands and nearby construction sites.Sophie scoffed. "What kind of lab would be built out here? Honestly, it's impressive that Miranda found a place like this to fool everyone."Joseph, who had been calm up
Tina's eyes widened in shock. She suddenly remembered something Miranda had once said, "Life is full of ups and downs. Everyone hits rough patches, and what goes around comes around. My luck today could easily be yours tomorrow."Yasmine snapped out of her daze and immediately tugged Sophie's sleev
"Speak of the devil," Joseph thought to himself.Then, he saw a group of photographers and reporters strolling in. "Hello, everyone! We're here from Campus Daily. Is it okay to do a live report?"Miranda and Christine exchanged glances."Of course," Miranda replied with a smile. "But may I ask who s
Hendrix studied Joseph intently and seemed oblivious to Joseph's embarrassment and frustration. "I heard that Miranda's team chose to build their own lab off-campus because their lab on campus was ordered to undergo fire safety rectification," he said calmly.At the mention of "fire safety rectific
"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.
