The two of them had gotten into the pickup truck at 7:30 am. Sam was unable to handle the bumpy ride and ended up vomiting. Paul turned his head to look out the window. After he rinsed his mouth with bottled water, the first thing Sam said was, "I'm not carsick."His next words were, "There's some
Sam said, "Drop us off at the entrance of the village in a bit."Micah was surprised. "Huh? You're not going to the Clifford residence after all?"…Madison glanced at the two burly men in the distance. "So, Mr. Cooper went to call for backup?"Sam nodded.Madison blinked as a curious thought appear
That man was the so-called, fearsome "Mr. Black". When they saw their backup arrived, the thugs who had been taken down earlier scrambled to their feet. They rushed behind the newcomers to seek protection while complaining loudly."Mr. Black, it's them! Not only did they hurt Kenny and Shawn, but t
"Not bad." Sam nodded with satisfaction. "That's good to hear," Gerald said.After all the commotion, it turned out the burly men were sent by Gerald. Kenny and Shawn exchanged a glance. Their faces visibly turned pale. Just as the brothers were about to sneak away, Gerald's men had already antici
Sure enough, the lead officer from the city police department nodded slightly toward Paul. "We'll take them away now.""Good, I recommend doing a drug test on them," Paul said."Rest assured. We've got it covered."The Sneider brothers' faces turned ashen when they realized they had underestimated t
Paul also seemed stunned as well. As their gazes locked, Miranda suddenly shot him a radiant smile. The unexpected brilliance of her smile dazzled Paul and threw him off guard. The calm waters of his heart stirred and caused rippling waves of emotion that he couldn't suppress. At that moment, Sam
Sam wanted Joli to understand that taking down the Sneider brothers was just the beginning. Their father, Weston, was bound to step in, and he would be an even bigger problem. This was his way of reminding Joli to start planning ahead."…Right now, the Sneider family's biggest concern is getting Ken
No one knew when or how the Snider family would retaliate against the Cliffords, and Joli couldn't risk gambling with his family's safety. At that moment, he was trapped in a dilemma.Sam noticed his inner turmoil but chose not to press the matter further. Everyone had their path to follow, and as o
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
