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
"Joli." Miranda suddenly interrupted him. Her abruptness surprised those who knew her well. Even Joli turned to look at her. She continued, "Before you make a decision, I have a few things to say." "Okay." He looked serious. "You know that joining Infinity Lab comes with a structured monthly sala

Susan remained silent for the rest of the meal. She only concentrated on eating the food in front of her. Jenny, kept in check by Harold, didn't cause any more scenes, either. As the meal was nearing its end, several waiters suddenly entered the private room. Each one was elegantly dressed and wor
"What Mrs. Jenny said earlier made a lot of sense," Paul said. I've taken your words to heart."Then, he turned to Mindy and Lionel. "Please rest assured, Mr. and Mrs. Sutton. I know how lucky I am to have met Miranda. I'll always put her first, cherish her, and take full responsibility as her boyfr
"Mrs. Jefferson, this toast is to welcome you to Lumberville!" Jenny exclaimed. "You should go around and explore while you're here. There's quite a bit of beautiful scenery in this city. "I would also like to thank you for your hospitality. You treated our entire family with such wonderful food an
Mindy rolled her eyes at him. "You only ever care about your physics test papers and lesson materials. As for anything else… ugh forget it."Lionel chuckled. "So what do we do tomorrow? Are we going or not?""Of course we're going? They came all this way to invite us sincerely. We'll be the ones in
"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
