As soon as the blonde guy at the front, Bradley, gave the order, the group of men chased after Chris.The alleyway was dark, but it was a dead end. Bradley furrowed his brows. He was just about to turn on the flashlight on his phone, when a white and slender hand patted him on the shoulder."Are you looking for me?" A deep voice sounded behind him.Bradley was shocked. He then quickly realized what was going on and swung the bat in his hand towards Chris."Get him!"Bradley was fast, but Chris was faster.As the successor of the richest family in Empfield, Chris had to be very physically strong. Otherwise, he wouldn't have beaten Luke up so badly.Bradley had brought quite a lot of men this time. Chris's bodyguards were sent back. He was left facing all of these men alone. At first, he could get the upper hand, but as time passed, he could only make sure he wouldn't lose the fight. However, it wasn't a big problem for Chris to escape this dangerous situation.Just when Chris wa
Chris squinted his eyes when he heard what Bradley said.Nicholas Walker was Laura's father."It really doesn't have anything to do with me. He said that you've beaten his son up and he wanted revenge.""Chris, you've beaten his son up? Who is this guy? When did this happen?" Harry was puzzled, but his words still showed that he was on Chris's side. "My brother must have beaten his son up because his son had done something wrong and needed to be taught a lesson."Harry felt that Chris was a well-known entrepreneur in Empfield. A lot of people wanted Chris to teach them a lesson, but Chris ignored all of them."He's Laura's father," Chris said indifferently."Huh?" Harry was dumbfounded. "What the hell's going on?"This wasn't really the right time to talk about this. Chris looked at the time. It was getting late. It was already almost 11 o'clock at night. If he went home any later, he would probably wake her up."Take them to the police station. Take care of this for me.""Oka
Chris had no intention of telling Laura what happened tonight. He knew she would be very upset if he told her.On the morning of the next day. Laura and Chris headed off to work as usual.However, not long after the convenience store was opened, a familiar figure walked in from the outside.Laura saw it was Madam Jacobs and her eyes lit up. She then asked in surprise, "Madam Jacobs, what brings you here?"Madam Jacobs had quite a lot of gifts in her hand. Laura walked over and took the bags in Madam Jacobs' hands to prevent her from being too tired. She then placed the bags on one side. "Madam Jacobs, what are all these? Why didn't you tell me you were coming? Chris and I could go pick you up.""There's no need. The neighbor's child was coming nearby so I got a lift in his car." Madam Jacobs had a big smile on her face. The fact was that she asked the driver to drive her there."There were quite a lot of supplements at home and I can't finish all of them by myself. I brought them
"Do I need to report to you wherever I go?" Madam Jacobs walked up to Lewis and Helen and then began sizing Helen up and down. "Do you think very highly of yourself?""Huh?" Helen was taken aback. She didn't understand what Madam Jacobs was saying."Otherwise, why would you disturb Laura when she's working? Not only that, you also want her to look after you as well. You think it's nothing, but that's not what she thinks!"Madam Jacobs wasn't holding back at all with her words. Her words immediately made Helen's face turn red.Seeing Helen like this, Madam Jacobs couldn't help but roll her eyes.However, Lewis didn't want his wife to suffer any grievance at all. He immediately spoke on behalf of Helen. "Mom, you're here as well, aren't you? If you can come, why can't Helen?"Laura looked at Lewis in surprise. She couldn't help but think that this father-in-law of hers was a little stupid.As expected, Madam Jacobs slapped Lewis in the face and said angrily, "You unfilial bastard.
'Not to worry. I'm all grown up now and I'm married as well. I'm also stronger,' thought Laura.When Linda arrived home, Shona was mopping the floor. When she saw Linda coming home, she raised her head. "Mom, where have you been again? Don't go running around all the time. You're getting old, what if you fall over or if something bad happens to you? We don't want such things to happen to you."Shona didn't want to go to the hospital to look after Linda again."I don't go out all the time. I've only been out today," said Linda.Shona didn't continue the topic. She noticed the things in Linda's hand. "Supplements? Mom, these things aren't cheap. Where did you buy them? Have you been spending money again?""No, well..." Linda subconsciously wanted to say that the supplements were given to her by Laura, but she was afraid that if she said such words, Shona would make a fuss again. Therefore, she decided to swallow the second half of her sentence and nod her head at Shona.Shona made
Linda had just about finished her meal, so she went straight back into her room.Looking at Linda's receding figure, Shona poked Nicholas with the fork in her hand. "Look at what your mom had said. We were doing this for her own good. Nicholas, your mom lives with us at the moment, and we're paying for everything. She doesn't need to pay for anything, so you might as well get her to give you her pension next time. It can prevent her from spending money on unnecessary things."In the past, when Shona wanted Linda's pension, Nicholas would always refuse. However, this time, when he heard Shona's words, he hesitated and then nodded. "Okay."This answer made Shona smile.Luke saw what was happening and said, "Mom, what do the supplements that Grandma bought look like? Let me have a look."Shona took out her phone and showed Luke what she found on the internet.On the morning of the next day.Linda went out to buy some fruit. When she came back, she was about to go back to her room t
Shannon looked at Laura teasingly and said, "I feel you're very lucky, Miss Walker. Your husband treats you very well."Shannon would always see Chris occasionally bringing some snacks for Laura, which were prepared by the Jacobs Group.Laura smiled, but didn't express her opinion. Chris did treat her very well, that was the truth."How are you and your boyfriend doing?" Laura asked while still knitting the scarf.She remembered that Shannon had told her a few days ago that she had a new boyfriend."Well." Shannon chuckled. "We're doing quite well. Compared to my previous boyfriends, he isn't the most handsome, but he's definitely the one who treated me the best. He cares a lot about me and would pay attention to my mood."At the mention of her boyfriend, Shannon seemed to have a lot to talk about. "Miss Walker, how long have you and your husband been dating before you were married?""Well..." Laura hesitated before continuing, "We met on a blind date, so we got married quite qu
"Thank you, Liam, but that's not necessary. I've told my husband and he said that he'll drive me there."On the day when Laura received the invitation, she told Chris about the lecture. He then said that he would give her a lift to the lecture.Liam's eyes darkened when he heard those words, but he quickly smiled and continued, "Are you free this lunchtime, Laura? Do you want to have lunch together? We haven't had lunch together for ages. I just happen to want to talk to you about professional knowledge."Laura opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, a deep male voice sounded from outside the convenience store. "No, she's not free. If you have any questions, then you can ask Google."A man in a black suit walked into the store. He had a tall figure and a handsome face. His slender hands hung on either side of him. Laura immediately saw the cuff links on his wrists."These are the cuff links I bought you, right? I told you they would look great on you."Chris nodded s
The two children attracted Laura's attention and she just watched them play.The two children looked a little alike. The boy was obviously a little older than the girl. They were most likely brother and sister.The little girl noticed Laura's gaze, so she walked up to her. "Are you looking at us?"The little boy noticed his sister standing in front of two strangers. He then rushed over and stood between the girl, and Laura and Chris with an alarming look on his face."Don't worry. We won't hurt you." Laura squatted down so that she was the same height as the two children."I think I know what she wants, Owen," the little girl suddenly said with a serious face."What does she want?" The little boy's face softened when he looked at the little girl."She's looking at us, so she must be wanting to play with us!" the girl said innocently and then looked at Laura. "Am I right?"Laura squatted down and pinched the girl's face with a smile. "Yes, you are! I love children who are cute l
"Harry and I are planning to go to the beach after this, do you want to come with us?" Shannon asked Laura.After giving it some thought, Laura nodded. "Sure!"The three of them waited for about a quarter of an hour after the meal before Chris came to pick them up."Have you finished?" Chris was asking everyone but his eyes were fixed on Laura."Yes, we have. I have to admit, the food here is actually quite nice," said Harry.He seemed to not have had enough as he placed some more food in his mouth."Do you want some more? We're in no rush anyway."Laura was worried that Harry didn't have enough to eat."No, I'm full. Let's head to the beach." The thought of going to the beach and enjoying the night view with Shannon made Harry very excited."What beach?" asked Chris. He was a little puzzled."Shannon just said that they were going to the beach and asked me if I wanted to join them. It felt like a good idea to me so I agreed. Do you want to come as well?" Laura turned to look
Lucas and Dawn waited for a while but their food still wasn't served."What's taking them so long?" mumbled Dawn."They're probably busy. We don't have any other plans tonight, there's no rush."Lucas picked up his phone and began playing a game. At the same time, he poured a glass of water for Dawn. "Here, have some water., it'll ease the hunger"Dawn was rendered speechless.She picked up the glass, took a sip of water, and then began looking around. That was when she noticed a table of a man and two women receiving their food as soon as they sat down.Seeing that, Dawn shouted, "Waitress!"A girl in her early 20s quickly walked over to her. "How may I help?""When will our food be served? We've already been waiting for a long time." Dawn was a little dissatisfied."I'm sorry, Miss. The kitchen is already preparing your dishes and the food will be served very soon," the waitress said apologetically."What do you mean by that? We've already been waiting for ages. Not only th
"Mr. Summers, Mr. Scholfield is waiting for you in the meeting room.""Okay."Nathan tidied his desk, picked up a file and headed towards the meeting room.As soon as he walked in, he saw Lucas sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed.Lucas had a lazy temperament and his lips were curved into a mischievous smile. He looked at his watch and said, "Mr. Summers, you're three minutes late."Nathan was used to Lucas's behavior, so he just looked at Lucas indifferently. "Here's the contract. Check to see if you have any problems with it."Lucas sat up, took the contract, and flicked through it casually. "Where's the pen?""Aren't you going to read it more carefully?""I don't think that Mr. Summers is going to trick me, right?" asked Lucas. His voice was casual and his hand was getting ready to hold a pen.Nathan smiled, took out a pen from a drawer, and signed his name on the contract before passing it to Lucas.Lucas held the pen tightly in his hand as he signed his name on the
Nathan waited in the police station with Amelia.About an hour later, two police officers brought a man in black and wearing a baseball cap in front of the two of them.There were wounds on his face as well. It was obvious that he had been beaten up.One of the officers passed a delicate purse to Amelia. "Miss Summers, is this your purse?"Amelia's eyes lit up. "Yes, that's the purse I lost.""This is the person who stole your purse, Miss Summers. What do you want us to do with him?" the other officer pointed at the man and asked.After giving it some thought, Amelia said, "I've just checked my purse and nothing's missing. I'll let him off this time.""Looks like you're in luck. Quick, thank Miss Summers for her kindness.""Thank you so much, Miss Summers!""Alright, just try not to steal things in the future. You can leave now." Amelia waved her hand.After the man in black was released, Amelia and Nathan headed back home as well.Amelia then sent a text to the man in black
"Get someone to find out why Amelia went to the police station today." Nathan gave the order."Yes, Mr. Summers. I'll get right on it." Dominic nodded and went out of the room.After giving it some thought, Nathan still felt that he should head to the police station in person to ask Amelia what she was doing.When Nathan arrived at the police station, Amelia had just finished talking to Jack."Amelia!" Nathan called out.Amelia stopped walking and turned around. She then looked at Nathan with a face full of surprise."Nathan, what are you doing here?" Amelia smiled and walked over to Nathan."I came to check if Jack had said anything else. I've also heard that you came to the police station instead of to work, so I thought I'd come to give you a lift on the way back."Amelia nodded with a smile. "Okay, I'll head back home with you once I've found my purse.""What purse?" Nathan felt a little puzzled."I was going out with a few friends, but I lost my purse on my way. There we
"Please take a seat, Miss Summers. We've already sent men to look for your purse. We'll find it soon." One of the officers put on a big smile and tried to please Amelia when he found out that she was the daughter of the Summers family.Amelia just nodded and then went to sit on the chair.A while later Amelia asked the officer that just spoke to her, "I'm a little bored. Can I take a look around?""Sure! I can...""There's no need. I want to take a look around by myself. Notify me when you find my purse."With that said, Amelia left the reception room and began walking around the police station.She didn't get far before she saw Jack."I need to speak to Jack," Amelia said to the guard outside the cell."I'm sorry, Miss Summers. Mr. Summers gave us specific orders to keep an eye on him and not let anyone visit him."The guard stopped Amelia. His attitude was respectful, but wasn't letting her anywhere near Jack."Do you not know who I am?" Amelia became a little angry. She co
After losing her memories, Mrs. Summers couldn't remember anything. She didn't want to dwell on this matter since it was in the past.However, Alex wasn't going to let Nancy off that easily. "She must be punished. Otherwise, who knows what she would do next time!"Nancy had become more and more arrogant. Alex felt that if he didn't teach her a lesson now, she would do something even worse.After hearing Alex's words, Mrs. Summers still didn't want to punish Nancy. "She's our child after all. We shouldn't criticize her too much. Everyone makes mistakes, right? Let her off this once for me."Nancy kept nodding her head after hearing Mrs. Summers' words. "Dad, I'm so sorry. I promise there won't be a next time. Please forgive me just this once."Seeing that Mrs. Summers was asking him to let Nancy off, Alex had no choice but to say, "Since your mom has forgiven you, then I'll let you off this once. But if there's a next time, I'll kick you out of the Summers family myself!"Nancy qu
Seeing the look on Nancy's face, Alex knew that she knew about the glass of water. His face immediately paled.Amelia quickly walked forward. "Dad, Nancy was just a little thoughtless, I think she didn't mean any harm."Her words made Alex even more infuriated. "She was thoughtless? Was that the reason to add sleeping pills to the water?"If it weren't for that glass of water, Alex wouldn't have been in a deep slumber and the things that followed wouldn't have happened.Nancy began shaking in fear. That was because she did add sleeping pills to the glass of water.She was planning on getting Chris to drink the water and then she would get someone to bring Chris to her room when he was asleep.That way, Chris would have to be responsible for her under the pressure of the Summers family.However, what Nancy didn't expect was that Alex drank the water instead of Chris.Amelia wasn't worried that Nancy would sell her out. That was because drugging Chris wasn't something appropriate
