"Oh, so they're your classmates? From Jandersville? No wonder they speak so differently. A poor guy like you actually has friends to stand up for you? Tsk tsk… I can't believe it…"Kenny furrowed his brow. "Shawn, stop wasting time. Let's take them down together!" "Got it, bro!"At that moment, Oll
Joli hesitated before saying, "But… will Micah agree to it?""Miranda and the others aren't from our family, so it won't offend Kenny and Shawn. Micah will agree if it's for money," Wanda reassured him."Alright."Miranda and the others exchanged glances before she spoke up, "Mrs. Clifford, we don't
Those documents were originally meant for Miranda. However, there was no answer when Paul came back in the afternoon and knocked on her door. Paul took off his coat and hung it on the rack. He glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already 10:00 pm. She should be back by now, right?Paul took the
Betty was stunned for a full three seconds. It wasn't until Paul repeated the question that she snapped back to her senses and replied, "Oh, Miranda… She took leave yesterday.""How long? Did she say what it was for?""She just said she had something to do, but she didn't specify what it was. I wond
Paul's phone rang at the same time. It was Terrence from the dean's office calling to inform him of Joli's home address. The two hung up their calls simultaneously and turned to each other. "We found it!"Paul spoke first, "I just checked. The earliest flight to Yalemont leaves at 1:00 am. The bull
Paul asked, "How do we get to the village?""I've already arranged for a pickup truck," Sam said. "Only trucks can navigate the village roads.""How long do we have to wait?"Sam looked at his watch. "About… half an hour.""Alright."…After sending her messages, Miranda put her phone away. She turn
This time, Joli didn't stop them. He watched as they retreated into the house. Tears blurred his vision, yet a warmth filled his chest. Miranda approached the bedroom door. Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks. Madison paused behind her. "What's the matter?"Miranda gestured toward the door of the a
With that, Kenny pulled out a document resembling a contract and slapped it onto the table in front of Ollie. "This has dragged on long enough. Mr. Clifford, it's time for you to make up your mind. I don't want to waste my breath. Here, I even brought a pen for you. You just need to sign your name,
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
