Miranda, Madison, and Sebastian arrived at Room 312 right on time.Madison let out a relieved sigh. "2:30 pm on the dot. Perfect timing."They sat for about ten minutes, but no one showed up.Madison frowned. "What's going on? They bailed on us this morning, and now again?""Good thing we didn't sit
Miranda caught Madison's gaze, paused momentarily, and stood up.Madison thought she had backup and even got a little excited. She cheered in her mind. "With Miranda stepping in, she will shut her down."But instead, Miranda said, "Sorry, Dr. Quimby. This was our mistake. It won't happen again."Mad
Madison hesitated for a few seconds but couldn't hold back. "Dr. Quimby knows the rules better than anyone. So, why break them?"Miranda watched Emilia disappear into the distance, lost in thought.That evening, they skipped the cup noodles. The convenience store had better options—corn dogs, fruit
At 9:00 am, Miranda, Madison and Sebastian arrived at the classroom right on time.But by 9:30 am, Emilia still hadn't shown up.Madison couldn't help but grumble, "Seriously? Don't tell me she took another day off. She's the one who kept nagging us to be on time—where is she?"Sebastian frowned.Mi
Although Madison was annoyed, she had to admit that Emilia was right. She could complain all she wanted—after she finished the task. Emilia straightened her expression and began asking questions. Perhaps Madison's emotions hadn't fully calmed down yet. She answered the questions with imprecise term
Despite Santiago's flamboyant demeanor, he was still competent at his job. At the very least, his training content was useful. Miranda listened attentively to his lecture. Even Madison eventually stopped nitpicking, despite complaining about him the whole time. Santiago ended the class at 5:30 pm,
Miranda asked, "Dr. Vain, did you trip over your tongue?"Santiago was surprised at her reply. She continued, "No, you may not. Please just call me by my given name. Thank you."With that, she packed up her laptop and strode out of the classroom. Santiago stood rooted to the spot, rubbing his nose
Santiago's expression twisted in disbelief. "No… How could you do this?"Harvold was surprised. What did he do?"How could you just open the gate for them so easily?" Santiago demanded."I didn't simply do it," Harvold replied. "Didn't you bring them here the first time?""That was just once! I didn
Paul didn't look particularly surprised when he heard that. He simply said calmly, "Wasn't that the whole point of you giving the gold bangle? Shouldn't you be pleased that Mrs. Jenny showed interest in your gift?""You—" Susan's eyes widened in shock. She was so angry that she couldn't speak. "Pau
"Mom's a woman herself," Lionel said. "She knows more than anyone that the bride will be taken lightly if her family submits to the groom's family even before the wedding happens. "Besides, Leonard and Rena treated her well over the years. They bought her anything she wanted, including gold and sil
Quincey was getting a little impatient while waiting for Jenny at the entrance of Delish restaurant. She kept pressing her phone screen to check the time. "What's taking Mom so long?"Meanwhile, Harold was smoking at the bottom of the steps. He had only gotten through half a cigarette, so he wasn't
"You should go ahead and accept the gift," Susan said. "I prepared them for everyone. They're just little trinkets to wear for fun."Jenny clicked her tongue. A trinket? For fun?Those were truly words worthy of a wealthy lady. It was amazing how generous she was. However, Jenny still had a shred o
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
