"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. "Laura, are you free tonight? Do you w
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.
Chris immediately began to blush.Laura stood up and immediately saw Chris's red face when she lowered her head."What's wrong? Why is your face so red?" she asked whilst feeling puzzled."Ahem." Chris covered his mouth and coughed lightly. "It's probably because I've been sat down for too long. I feel a little hot. I'm going to get some fresh air."Laura nodded whilst feeling puzzled, but when she saw Chris walking towards the window, she still said, "It's quite windy outside, be careful or you'll catch a cold.""Okay."Chris stood by the window and allowed the wind to cool him down. After cooling down, Chris furrowed his brows.He was a man. What was he being shy about just now?Laura didn't notice that there was anything wrong with Chris. She then placed the sandwiches into the fridge. After washing up, she said goodnight to Chris and went to bed.It was quite different for Chris. For the whole night, he kept on thinking about what he had seen earlier on. This caused him to
It was a good thing that Laura reacted quickly, otherwise, Jordan would have succeeded."I work in the Jacobs Group now and I'm quite high up as well. I think you're quite good-looking, how about you be my girlfriend? I can promise you that you won't have to worry about anything anymore."Jordan looked at Laura with a pair of greedy eyes. The more he looked at Laura, the more he liked her.He didn't expect to see such a beautiful woman after coming out for a bottle of water. Jordan felt that he was very lucky.The next second, Jordan's face turned cold and he threatened, "If you don't agree to be my girlfriend, I'll make sure this store closes down."Jordan had heard from his cousin, Helen, that Lewis had a very high status in Empfield and was even able to allocate a job for him in the Jacobs Group. He felt that it would be even easier for Lewis to close down a convenience store.Laura realized what was Jordan trying to do. It seemed Jordan had no intention of leaving unless he g
Due to the fact that Jordan was in a panic, when he walked into the Jacobs Group, he bumped into a man wearing sunglasses."What's wrong with you? Watch where you're going!" Jordan cursed angrily.'I can't believe how unlucky I am!' thought Jordan.Chris furrowed his brows and listened to the alarm sounding in the distance. He didn't stop at all after bumping into Jordan.He had just come downstairs to bring Laura some snacks. What he didn't expect was to hear the alarm sounding as soon as he arrived downstairs. He could tell the sound of the sirens came from the convenience store. He didn't know what had happened.When Chris walked into the convenience store, he was stunned by what he saw inside. Soon, coldness filled his eyes."Chris, quick, get Madam Jacobs to the hospital!"When Laura saw Chris, she quickly put down the phone that she had in her hand.Chris walked over, bent down and picked Madam Jacobs up from the ground."Chris, get Madam Jacobs to the hospital first. I'
