The sound of a chicken clucking then sounded. Chris's face darkened. "What did you just hand me?"

Laura opened the bag and patted the hen inside. "It's just a chicken. The scooter's basket is filled with pots and pans. The chicken won't fit. You're going to have to hold it on the way back home. Don't worry. It's all tied up. All you have to do is to hold it tightly and it won't be able to hurt you."

Chris had never even held a chicken's feather let alone a live chicken.

However, ever since Laura appeared in his life, he would eat breakfast from a roadside stall and ride an electric scooter home. Now, he was even holding a chicken on the way home!

Chris's chest heaved up and down. Laura gave him a puzzled look. "What's wrong? What's up with the look on your face?"

"Nothing." Chris forced a smile on his face. He didn't want Laura to know what he was thinking, so he quickly sat in the passenger seat of the scooter. "Let's go. It's getting late. We should go home and get some rest."

    "Okay." Laura nodded in agreement. It would be quicker to travel by car.The two of them reached the hospital about half an hour later.Laura grew up with her grandmother, so she would obviously be very close to her grandmother. Her grandmother really cared about her as well.When Laura's grandmother saw Laura, a big smile appeared on her face."Grandma, this is the boyfriend I told you about. We got married a few days ago."In order to not let her grandmother worry about her, Laura lied to her and said that she had a boyfriend and they loved each other. She even told her grandmother that her boyfriend treated her very well.It was obvious that Laura's grandmother believed her, but she knew what kind of person Shona was, so it wasn't enough for Laura to just have a boyfriend. Only when Laura was married could her grandmother not worry about her.Chris greeted Laura's grandmother politely. "Hi, Grandma."By calling Linda Walker "Grandma", she immediately had a good impression of

    Shona appeared at the door of the ward. She had her chin raised. The clothes she was wearing seemed to be brand new. She also had a bad and was wearing a pair of black high heels. She then walked into the room coquettishly.The smile on Linda's face immediately disappeared when she saw Shona. "Why are you here?""Mom, what are you talking about? What do you mean why am I here? Of course, I came here to visit you!" Shona walked up to Linda's bed."I don't need you to come and visit me." Linda knew full well what kind of person Shona was.She had never liked this woman from the start, but her son loved this woman, so there was nothing she could do. In the end, she allowed her son and this woman to be married. However, the result was that this woman ruined her family for so many years."Mom, you can't stop me from being filial," Shona said unhappily. "There's one more thing, Mom. Do you like my new outfit? And this bag? Luke's girlfriend bought these for me. The child is good-looking

    Everyone present was at a loss for words.Linda was so angry that she had difficulty breathing.Seeing this, Laura quickly went to pat Linda on the back to help her breathe.Linda lived in a shared ward. The other patients in the ward couldn't take Shona anymore. They began criticizing Shona between them. Linda closed her eyes and began lying back down. It was obvious that she didn't want to talk to Shona anymore.In the end, Shona could actually feel some embarrassment. She gritted her teeth and left the ward.However, before she left, Shona looked at Chris again and said, "Let me tell you this, Luke's girlfriend works at the Jacobs Group! I've heard that she's already the director of the Human Resources Department at such a young age. She will find a chance to recruit Luke as well. By that time, we will have two relatives working as senior executives in the Jacobs Group. They're way better than some guard dog of the company!"After saying that, Shona stomped her feet and left.

    Chris understood what Laura meant. He then squeezed his finger pulp and nodded.When the two of them returned home, Chris lowered his head, took out his phone and sent a text to his assistant. "Find a top medical team and tell them to go to the Empfield Royal Infirmary to treat my wife's grandmother. Put all the money spent on my tab."After sending the text, Chris raised his head and looked at Laura. "Do you have time this evening?""I do, why?" Laura was a little puzzled.Chris changed into his indoor slippers and walked towards his room. "Attend a banquet with me. I need a female companion.""Huh?" Laura was dumbfounded. "What banquet? A business banquet?""Yes," Chris answered indifferently.The type of banquet that Laura had attended the most would be the banquets of her friends' weddings. She had never participated in business banquets in the past.Deep down, Laura didn't really want to go."Are you going with Mr. Jacobs?" asked Laura.She felt that if Chris was going w

    "Gr... greetings, Mr. Jacobs!"A middle-aged man in black quickly walked up to Chris with a big smile on his face as he reached out his hand.However, before he could finish, Chris interrupted him."Just call me Chris."The man was gobsmacked.How could he call Chris by his first name in public?Chris's voice was indifferent, but his eyes emitted a domineering aura. All the man could do was to say, "Chris."Laura felt that she had seen this man on television in the past. He was a famous entrepreneur in Empfield.From the looks of things, the man was quite respectful towards Chris.'As expected, the Jacobs Group is the top enterprise in Empfield, so as the CEO's special assistant, Chris must have a very high status,' thought Laura.Chris went to deal with his business. Laura felt bored, so she just sat in a corner and ate.Due to the fact that she was very attractive, she attracted the attention of some people."Hello, Miss. Did you come alone?"A middle-aged man used the m

    Chris was confused at first, but he soon realized what Laura was talking about.He realized that Laura thought that he was unhappy because his business didn't go as planned.Chris pursed his lips. He seemed to want to say something to Laura, but Laura's voice sounded again. "Goodnight, Mr. Jacobs."This caused Chris to swallow the words he was about to say. He then said, "Goodnight."On the morning of the next day.Laura yawned and rubbed her eyes as she got out of bed. Coincidentally, Chris had just returned from his morning jog.He was wearing a vest. This meant that his arms were exposed and they displayed perfectly built muscles.There was sweat on his handsome face as well. Chris then lifted one of his hands to ruffle his hair. He took a set of fresh clothes and rushed to the bathroom.Laura saw what he was doing and asked, "What do you want for breakfast? I've made some oat porridge.""Oat porridge is fine." Chris nodded his head.When he came out of the bathroom, Laura

    Jessica's gaze immediately landed on Chris's face. When she saw his cold face, Jessica could feel her heart had skipped a beat.When Jessica was secretly sizing Chris up and down, Chris glanced at her as well.At that moment, he was sure that he had never seen this person at work before."Hello, Jessica. I'm Laura." Laura greeted Jessica politely with a friendly smile."He, Laura. Luke has told me a lot about you." Jessica quickly moved her gaze from Chris and then let out a warm smile.She then pretended to unintentionally look at Chris. "May I ask who is this?""This is my husband." Laura introduced Chris to Jessica.Jessica reached out her hand at Chris in an attempt to shake his hand, but Chris pretended not to see it. He just nodded his head indifferently. This made Jessica feel a little awkward.Shona looked at the bags that Laura was holding. When she saw so many bags, she said unhappily, "There are lots of clothes at home. Why are you buying new ones? Don't you know to

    Moreover, Laura and Chris were only in a contract marriage.Laura took a deep breath, but Shona was infuriated by Laura's words.'She's such a money waster!' Shona cursed inwardly.She wanted to continue to scold Laura, but didn't dare to try to hit her again.However, before Shona could say anything, Jessica grabbed her hand. "Mrs. Walker, I think we should go. There are too many people watching..."There were a lot of people looking at them. Jessica felt a little embarrassed and didn't want to stay any longer.Shona didn't want to leave just like that, but Jessica had spoken. Jessica was her future daughter-in-law, so she had to listen to Jessica."Just you wait!" Shone glared at Laura and then held Jessica's hand as she left.Jessica smiled apologetically at Laura.After leaving the shopping center, Jessica pretended to say unintentionally to Shona, "Mrs. Walker, I think it's better to speak reasonably with Laura.

    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?"

    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.

    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.
