On the morning of the next day.

Shona slept until almost 10 o'clock in the morning before getting out of bed. She rubbed her waist as she got out of the rollaway bed. "This stupid bed isn't comfortable at all. My waist hurts."

Linda rolled her eyes and had no intention of talking to Shona.

Shona looked around and saw the plate and cutlery on the bedside table. She then asked, "Mom, have you had breakfast?"

"Yes."

The hospital's food didn't taste so good. If Laura was at the hospital, she would prepare something else for Linda. However, Shona couldn't get up in the morning, so Linda didn't wake her up. The food was brought to the ward by a hospital staff.

Shona rubbed her belly and went to the toilet to wash up. After doing so, she walked out of the ward holding her bag. "Mom, I'm hungry. I'll be heading out to get something to eat. Do you want any apples? I want some apples, I'll bring some back for you."

Linda was rendered speechless.

    Helen hid the disdain in her eyes of the surroundings and said, "But there's nothing I could do. No matter how well I treat this child, his attitude towards me has always been cold. This caused his grandmother to not let me into the house. Chris's father and I have been renting a place to live for the past couple of years.""Renting a house would cost quite a lot of money. Houses in Empfield aren't cheap.""That's right. Chris's father and I would have an extra expenditure every month," Helen said with a smile.She knew Chris had kept his true identity from Laura, so when she was talking to Shona, she kept Chris's identity a secret intentionally.After all, no one wanted an extra person to share one's assets. Not only that, for a top family like the Jacobs family, only 1% of their assets would be the wealth that most people couldn't have for their entire lives."I coincidentally got to know that Laura's grandmother had fallen ill, so I thought I'd bring some supplements over.""D

    Chris was telling the truth. At first, he wanted to hide his identity, so Chris told his men to buy a car that was worth around 20 thousand dollars. The interiors had to be normal as well."Only 20 thousand dollars? It's not even as expensive as the car Luke has bought." Shona lost her interest as soon as she heard the price. "Chris, you're not a youngster anymore and you only have a car and a house under your name. This is nowhere near enough. You need to plan for your and Laura's future. When you have a child in the future, your monthly expenses will increase by a lot. Your job as a security guard alone will definitely not be able to feed your family. You should try and maintain a good relationship with your parents." Shona's eyes flashed as she tried to make herself sound casual.Chris didn't answer to Shona's words, but Linda furrowed her brows. "Can't you keep your mouth shut? Why do you always have to stick your nose in other people's business?"Shona pouted her lips. "I'm jus

    Madam Jacobs raised her head and looked at the door. When she saw Lewis and Helen, her hand froze in midair. "Why are you here?"Lewis led Helen into the private room. "Mom, isn't today the day for us to meet the members of the Walker family? Why can't I be here?"Helen smiled at Shona and Shona responded by nodding her head.The interaction between Shona and Helen was noticed by Laura. She squinted her eyes and clenched her fists a little.Helen smiled elegantly. She first greeted Madam Jacobs and then looked at Linda. "This must be Laura's grandmother, right?"Linda gave Lewis and Helen a puzzled look. "You are..."Laura whispered something in Linda's ear and Linda immediately realized what was going on.She had just been wondering why she hadn't seen Chris's parents.'So this is why...' Linda said inwardly."Alright, since you're Chris's parents, then take a seat. We're just about to start the meal. I'll get the waiter to bring two more sets of cutlery." Shona quickly took

    "Huh? Me? Well..."When Harry heard his name being mentioned, he could only laugh awkwardly."I don't work. I just take orders for remodeling cars in my spare time. My brother will give me money normally when I run out of money."The Jacobs family was rich and powerful. It wouldn't be a problem to feed a couple of Harrys.Besides, from Harry's perspective, the Jacobs Group only needed his brother. He wouldn't be of much help and would only make a mess of things.However, he would get paid quite a lot for remodeling cars as well.As soon as Harry finished speaking, Shona immediately was dissatisfied with him. "Remodeling cars? It doesn't sound like a reliable job. You're already a mature adult and you still rely on your brother? For someone your age, you should find a proper job."'I can't believe Chris spoils his brother like this. That's not on!' thought Shona."Okay. I'll go find a job when I have time." Harry didn't want to make things awkward for Laura, so he didn't say any

    Shona held her bag and walked inside the community.Seeing this, Laura was infuriated. 'She's still as greedy as before!'"I've got to go as well, Laura," said Linda."Okay. Be careful, Grandma." Laura calmed herself down and looked at Linda's receding figure. She waited until she couldn't see Linda anymore before turning around.Chris had just finished his call. He put away his phone and walked towards Laura. "Grandma's gone?""Yes. Let's go."Chris nodded and the two of them went home.After arriving home, Chris went to the bathroom. When he came out of the bathroom, his phone rang. He picked up his phone, looked at his phone and saw an unknown number.Chris pressed the answer button and a man's voice sounded on the other end of the line."Chris."When Chris heard this voice, his face darkened. "What do you want?"Lewis continued, "What was Laura's mother talking about during lunch? Is her brother really coming to work at the Jacobs Group? The Jacobs Group isn't just any o

    "Of course!" Lewis agreed without any hesitation. "You're my wife and the mother of my child. Part of the Jacobs Groups is yours as well. Your cousin is my cousin. What's wrong with our cousin coming to work in our company?"When Helen heard those words, the smile on her face became even wider.After Chris had hung up Lewis's call, he received another.Not knowing what the person on the other end of the line said, Chris just nodded and then walked up to Laura."Something came up at work. I've got to go. There's probably a business banquet tonight, so I won't be coming home for dinner.""Okay." Laura nodded.There was still some food in the fridge. She was planning on making some sandwiches for her and Chris tonight, but since Chris wouldn't be home, there was no need for her to make any sandwiches.Laura planned on taking a nap in the afternoon, but as soon as she tucked herself in bed, she received a message on WhatsApp. It was from Emily.

    Liam's actions caused Emily to be dumbfounded. Laura was a little taken aback as well."Oh... I'm sorry Liam. I forgot you don't like others putting food on your plate with their own cutlery. I'll use a serving cutlery next time. Let's eat." Emily found an excuse for Liam's actions.Laura looked at the two of them opposite her. Thinking of what just happened, she frowned a little.A strange feeling arose in her heart.Laura looked at Emily and realized that Emily wasn't really affected by what just happened, so she decided not to overthink things.The three of them continued eating. During the meal, Emily didn't put any more food on Liam's plate. However, she would still act intimately towards Liam from time to time. For example, she would pour him some beer and ask him if the food was too hot or not, etc.Laura felt that it was normal for couples to do such things, but Liam's reaction was quite strange.He actually told Emily to keep her distance from him. He even said that she

    Emily had deliberately asked Liam out for a meal tonight. She also invited Laura without Liam knowing as well. Her purpose in doing so was to show off how lovey-dovey she was with Liam in front of Laura.She knew that Liam had feelings for Laura, she could tell, but she wanted the two of them to know that they couldn't be together at all. She also wanted to say that Liam only belonged to her and that Liam shouldn't have any thoughts about Laura anymore.Emily took a deep breath to force herself to calm down. She then caught up with Liam with her bag in her hand.When Chris came out today, it was Assistant Jacobs who drove the car. Therefore, he didn't have a car to drive at the moment.He wanted to take a taxi back, but Laura stopped him. "Do you have any plans later on? If not, let's walk home."Laura had quite a lot to eat today, so she felt a little stuffed at the moment and wanted to take a walk to help her digest."Okay." Chris nodded. "I don't have any other plans later on.

    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. 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
