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
Chris and Laura showing off their relationship just now made Liam's heart ache. Especially when he heard Chris call him by his name. This made Liam grit his teeth."I'm just about to leave," said Liam.He held the bottle of water in his hand and walked out of the convenience store. However, he stopped when he reached the door. "Laura is a good girl. If you don't treat her well, then I'll definitely teach you a lesson you won't forget."Liam's words made Chris laugh. "Don't worry. I'll definitely treat my wife well. I love my wife, so I'll definitely spoil you. That's not something outsiders need to worry about."Not knowing if it was intentional, Chris was emphasizing the words "my wife". This made Liam's face turn pale. In the end, he had no choice but to leave.Liam got into his car which was parked on the side of the road. Sitting in the driver's seat, Liam punched the steering wheel in front of him.What Liam didn't notice was that as soon as he left the convenience store, a
In order to not make things too obvious, Chris made the medicinal supplements into drinks and would give a small bottle to Laura every morning and afternoon."This drink actually tastes quite nice. Your boss treats you so well. He actually prepares in the morning and afternoon for you."Chris leaned against the counter of the convenience store and looked at Laura. He made a note of Laura's compliments in his mind and nodded seriously. "Yes, he definitely treats us well. I'm lucky to be able to work in this company.""But the drinks are limited, right? What are you going to do if you've given the drinks to me?" Laura looked at the bottle in her hand which contained the medicinal supplements."I've got more. The drinks might be limited to other employees, but I'm the CEO's assistant. I don't have any limits.""That's good then."After all, the drink actually did taste good."By the way, I've got something to show you." After finishing the drink in her hand, she took out a small ba
About 20 minutes later.After getting out of the car, Laura ran towards the hospital located in the city center.Her lips were pursed and her eyes were red.Chris quickly parked the car and ran after Laura.There were a lot of people in the hospital and there was a long queue for the elevator, so she chose to take the stairs. Laura quickly ran up the stairs to the 13th floor.Outside the operating room on the 13th floor. Laura saw two familiar figures."Where's Grandma? How is she?" Laura ran towards Nicholas.After hearing her voice, Shona and Nicholas both looked in Laura's direction."Why are you here?" As soon as Nicholas saw Laura, he frowned."You bitch. How dare you come here? I still haven't settled the matter of your husband beating up your brother, how dare you show up here?" shouted Shona."Shut your mouth!" Laura turned and looked at Shona with cold eyes.This caused Shona to be dumbfounded."Why would Grandma have cerebral hemorrhage all of a sudden? What happe
After coming out of Dr. Lister's office, Laura looked exhausted.Chris tried a few times to comfort Laura, but he knew that no words could comfort Laura now. All he could do was stay by her side quietly."Chris, Dr. Lister said that Grandma's operation would still take a while. Can you come with me to buy something for Dr. Lister?""Okay." Chris nodded.Laura had bought quite a lot of things for Dr. Lister, but he refused to accept anything. In the end, Laura had to leave the things in his office and run off with Chris.In the past, when Linda was in hospital, Dr. Lister had helped her out quite a lot. Now, he was worried about Linda as well. Laura would feel guilty if she didn't do anything for Dr. Lister.Laura and Chris arrived outside the operating room.Shona was tired of standing, so she was resting on a bench.Seeing Chris, she opened her mouth and was about to stand up, but in the end, she decided to remain seated.Nicholas, however, locked gazes with Chris for a whole
When Nicholas saw that Linda was no longer in critical condition, he heaved a sigh of relief. He lowered his head, looked at his phone, and said to Shona, "I still have matters to take care of, I've got to go. Laura, take care of your grandma with your mom."Laura nodded in acknowledgement. Shona wanted to say that she had to leave as well, but she knew it was inappropriate for her to say such words at this moment in time. All she could do was to sit sulkily on the sofa.Laura found a chair and sat beside Linda's bed. Chris walked up to her and asked, "It's lunchtime, what do you want to eat? I'll go get you something to eat."Chris's words made Laura realize that it was already 12 o'clock noon. She had a lot of missed calls and text messages as well."I'm not hungry. You can go get something to eat for now.""No." Chris refused Laura's proposal. "If Grandma wakes up, she would definitely not want to see you like this. I'll go get some food, wait here for me."Not only Linda had
"Don't you know how to respect your elders? How could you eat by yourselves?" Shona sat up on the sofa and reached out to point at Laura and Chris.Laura didn't move. She kept her head lowered and looked at the dishes on the table. Chris, on the other hand, raised his head and gave Shona an indifferent look.Every time when Shona looked at Chris in the eyes, fear would rise in her heart.She subconsciously took back the hand she was using to point at Chris and Laura. She then turned to look away.She swallowed and then pulled a chair to sit by the table."Why are there only two sets of cutlery? Where are mine?"No one answered her question.Shona was at a loss for words.If it had been in the past, if Laura treated her like this, Shona would have exploded in anger. However, with Chris around, Shona didn't dare do anything over the top. She looked around and was about to reach for the set of cutlery prepared for Linda.Laura pursed her lips, put down the cutlery in her hands, a
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
