Nelly felt that she couldn't just sit back and do nothing. She had gone to great lengths and used unethical means to marry Timothy.After decades together and a grown child, she couldn't bear the thought of being abandoned by him now. Otherwise, what had all her sacrifices been for?She took a deep
Nelly froze, and her entire body trembled as she tried to hold herself together."You can accuse me of hurting Minnie or blame me for scheming to marry you, but you can't question Sam's identity. That's not just an insult to me, but it's a betrayal to our son." Timothy raised an eyebrow. "So, you'r
Nelly froze, and her face was etched with disbelief. Her hands and feet turned ice-cold, and her body trembled. "You… you knew about that?" Timothy scoffed. "Do I look like someone who can be played for a fool?" He definitely wouldn't raise another man's child.As a direct descendant of the Cooper
"Yes," Timothy answered calmly. From a certain angle, he and Sam looked strikingly similar.Timothy pried Nelly's hand off his arm and strode away. As he passed Sam, he paused to pat him on the shoulder before leaving.She stood frozen as she watched how calm and unaffected they both were. Then, so
Sam couldn't figure out how Timothy had seen right through him."Tell me. Why do we Cooper men always seem to crash and burn when it comes to Minnie and Miranda?" Timothy asked.Sam stayed silent."Must run in the family, huh? Damn! What a load of crap," Timothy said with a short, bitter laugh as he
It wasn't surprising that the faculty and the college were on edge after Miranda's research paper was published in "Nature Biotechnology".According to the latest global rankings from the Journal Citation Reports, "Nature" was ranked tenth with an impact factor of 40.137. In contrast, "Nature Biotec
"Research and academic competitions are two different matters. Besides, we've already finalized the research team for the international exchange program. We're pushing full throttle on the competition training," Hendrix said.He added, "Plus, changing the team at the last minute isn't the wisest cho
Sebastian's expression hardened."Ugh, who cares!" Madison waved it off. "Why overthink it? If the college is up to something, they'll come to us." She knew they would find out soon enough, so stressing over it was pointless.Miranda agreed, "Exactly. Whatever comes our way, we'll deal with it. Why
"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
