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'
"I'm just worried about you, Grandma." Harry put on a pitiful look.With Laura and Harry around, Madam Jacobs didn't feel bored at all. Her abdomen still ached a little, but Madam Jacobs felt that it wasn't a big deal. She said that she wanted to be discharged from the hospital, but both Laura and Harry refused."Grandma, don't be in a rush to be discharged. You should stay in the hospital for a few more days to prevent further problems that your body might have," said Laura.A lot of people nowadays felt that they were okay when they were hurt, but problems may occur as time passed and their actions would have delayed their treatments."That's right, Grandma. Listen to Laura, I think she has a point. You might not have any problems now, but what if something comes up later on? I might not have a grandma anymore!" Harry put on a sad look on his face as he looked at Madam Jacobs. This caused Madam Jacobs to pick up an apple from the bedside table and throw it at Harry."You little
Laura had no choice but to say helplessly, "Then I'll come see you during my lunch break, is that alright?""Okay, come over at lunch. We can have lunch together."After making plans with Madam Jacobs, Laura and Chris set off to work.Not long after arriving at the convenience store, Laura saw a familiar figure."Harry? Why are you here?""Well..." Harry walked into the convenience store from the outside. He looked around and smiled at Laura. "Laura, your store looks quite nice. It's quite clean as well. I don't have anything to do today, so I've decided to come and hang around your place. Is that alright?""That's fine. There's a chair over there, take a seat. There's water in the store and food as well. Take whatever you want." Laura smiled as she looked at Harry. Harry had finished dying his hair grey."You're the best, Laura. Then I'll make myself at home." Harry pulled a deck chair over and went to lie down behind the shelves. He then took out his phone. "Do what you have t
"Harry, how come you're here?"Helen was shocked. She obviously didn't expect Harry to be at the convenience store as well. This caused her domineering aura to immediately disappear.When faced with Laura, Helen could act as if she was high up, but when faced with Chris and Harry, Helen would always act carefully.That was because she knew Laura wouldn't make a scene in public. However, Chris and Harry were different. Every time Chris looked at her, his gaze would send a chill down her back. This caused her to not dare to try and get close to him. Not only that, Harry showed no respect towards her whatsoever."Does it surprise you that I'm here?"Harry stood between Helen and Laura. He looked down on Helen with a disdainful smile on his face. His gaze caused Helen to take a few steps back.However, when she remembered that she was an elder, Helen pursed her lips and said, "Harry, I'm just here today to talk to Laura about whether she can forgive Jordan for what he has done. After
When the elder woman saw Laura, she immediately fell to the ground and began shouting."Somebody help! Look at this girl, she's abusing an elder!"Laura was a little dumbfounded by what was happening in front of her, but she quickly realized what was going on."Madam, what do you want?"Mrs. Holdsworth was shouting on the ground and quickly gave her daughter-in-law a meaningful look.Jordan's wife, Cassie Holdsworth, looked around. When she saw that there were no surveillance cameras around, she felt relaxed and nodded at Mrs. Holdsworth. This allowed Mrs. Holdsworth to shout even loud.Cassie walked forward and said, "Laura, my mother hasn't offended you in any way. How dare you be so ruthless and hit her? Don't you know it's against the law to hurt someone like this? If anything happens to my mother, I'll send you behind bars! Unless you write a letter of understanding, or I'll make you pay for what happened just now!"Cassie's words allowed Laura to know why the two of them w
Chris played along. His face darkened and his eyes turned cold as he looked at Mrs. Holdsworth and Cassie.He had been someone with a very high status for a long time. He naturally had a domineering aura. He wasn't just any ordinary person. His gaze caused Mrs. Holdsworth and Cassie's hearts to skip a beat.Laura continued to cry. The only way to beat a shameless person would be to act shamelessly as well."Honey, they said that I had hit the old thing, but they caused us to lose our baby. This is a human life we're talking about here! Ah! I feel that I'm bleeding! Quick, call the police! Don't let them get away with it!""What nonsense are you talking about? How can you prove that we're the ones who caused you to lose your child?" Cassie replied in a panic.Laura used the words that Cassie had just said a while ago. "My husband is the proof. He's the eyewitness! Honey, quick, call the police!"Chris played along with Laura and took out his phone pretending to call the police."
"Mom, when Helen found out that you're hurt, she was so worried that she couldn't sleep. She kept on saying that she wanted to come to the hospital to visit you. Her aunt's here as well."Lewis introduced Mrs. Holdsworth to Madam Jacobs. Madam Jacobs had never liked Helen, but she knew that they were in the hospital, so she didn't shout for Lewis to get lost with Helen. Instead, she said in a cold voice, "I don't need anyone to visit me. You should leave.""Hey, I don't agree with you on this one, sister." Mrs. Holdsworth walked forward with a bag in her hand. She then placed the bag in front of Madam Jacobs. "Sister, it's normal for your son and your daughter-in-law to come to visit in the hospital. How can you say that you don't want anyone to come to visit you? I don't think you're doing the right thing here. Take a look at this. I've brought this especially from home. There are potatoes, carrots, and garlic. They're freshly picked and grown by ourselves. They're really fresh!"M
