Jessica's eyes flashed. 'I'll definitely use Laura to get to know him! As soon as I see any hope, then I'll have an abortion immediately!'After all, Chris could make hundreds of thousands of dollars per annum. His brother must be around the same level. The worst thing that could happen was that she would live off Chris and wouldn't have to worry about anything."Let's go, Jessica."When Jessica heard the soft voice next to her, Jessica hid the disdain in her eyes and kept the same look on her face. She then continued to wrap her arms around Luke's as they walked forward.However, she would try to ask Luke about Laura."Luke, how did Laura and Chris get to know each other? I'm a little curious.""I don't know either." Luke had no idea how Laura and Chris got to know each other. He had just heard Shona say that Laura married some random guy and he didn't even give any bride price either.This caused Luke to feel that he had lost out on 40 thousand dollars."Do you know where Chr
Chris sat there with a cold face. He didn't speak, but was emitting a domineering aura.Assistant Jacobs flicked through the account statement page by page and displayed them to all the shareholders. The shareholders began to discuss amongst themselves, but due to Lewis's identity, they didn't dare be too loud.Assistant Jacobs looked at Chris. When Chris gave the signal, he continued, "Mr. Jacobs, these are all the financial losses we've suffered after you've come to work at the Jacobs Group. Due to the large sum of money, after careful discussion, we've decided to announce your temporary suspension from this board of directors meeting.""What do you mean?" Lewis suddenly stood up from his seat.He knew that if he was suspended, then it wouldn't be temporary, but permanent. No one knew when he would be able to regain his position."It's normal to suffer losses when doing business. Why are you suspending me? I have 10% of the company's shares. I'm one of the largest shareholders!
Thinking of the fact that she told Madam Jacobs that they didn't need to order takeaways anymore, Laura decided to head to the open market for groceries with Chris and make lunch themselves.After arriving at the open market, as soon as they entered, Laura found a stall that sold potted plants.When Laura saw the potted plants, Laura's eyes lit up. "It's gardenia!"She could smell the scent before she even got close.The white flowers weren't in full bloom. There were dewdrops on the flowers which made the flowers look even better."Want one?" asked Chris.Laura nodded. "How about we get one for our balcony?"Laura quite liked flowers. She had long wanted to grow some flowers herself. However, she had been busy with work lately and would order takeaways to eat, plus a lot had happened recently, and Laura never had the time to shop.When the stall owner heard the conversation between Laura and Chris, he immediately promoted his flowers.Laura asked for a price. The stall owner
"Nothing. I just wanted to call your name."Laura was rendered speechless. 'Why did she want to call my name?'Laura and Chris had bought quite a lot of things. It was a good thing that they came by car. After the two of them finished shopping, they walked out of the open market and placed the things they had bought in the trunk.When Madam Jacobs found out that Chris and Laura were coming, she had been waiting in the front garden from very early on. She would occasionally stand up and walk to the gates to see if they had arrived yet.When she saw the car slowly approaching her house, a big smile appeared on her face."You didn't have to buy so many things on your way here." Madam Jacobs went up and wanted to help carry some things, but Laura didn't let her."Madam Jacobs, you were just discharged from the hospital recently. You haven't fully recovered yet. You should get some rest. Chris and I will do the heavy lifting."Even though she said that she and Chris would do the heav
Seeing Laura turning around, Chris subconsciously placed his hand behind his back.Laura asked desperately, "What is it? Did you cut yourself?""No." Chris shook his head.'It's so embarrassing. I can't believe I can't even peel a potato,' he thought.Laura didn't believe Chris's words. He said with a straight face, "Let me see your hand."Chris didn't move."Hurry up!"Chris revealed his hands from behind his back feeling a little ashamed of himself. As expected, he had cut off some flesh from his hand.One's fingers were very sensitive, so injuries at the tips of fingers were really painful. Looking at the blood that was oozing out, Laura quickly went to fetch the first aid kit from the living room."I shouldn't have told you to peel the potatoes." Sadness appeared in Laura's eyes, but she didn't even notice that herself, and her voice sounded frustrated.Looking at the little head in front of him and the way that Laura was bandaging him up seriously, Chris's lips curved in
As expected, just as the thought appeared in Laura's head, Madam Jacobs walked over with a smile. "Laura, I've set up the bed for you and Chris. I've also prepared pajamas for you. There's a glass of milk in your room for you and Chris.""Okay, Madam Jacobs." Laura nodded."I think you should call me Grandma from now on," said Madam Jacobs."Okay, Grandma," said Laura.Chris was making a call, so Laura headed into the room first.Looking at Laura's receding figure, Harry closed in on Madam Jacobs. "Well, Grandma, did you add something special to the milk?"Madam Jacobs lowered her voice and said, "I did. I had to pull a lot of strings to get it. It's perfectly legal and will cause no harm to the body. However, it helps one to become pregnant and will help one during sex."Laura had been married into the Jacobs family for quite some time, but she didn't seem to have become pregnant. This caused Madam Jacobs to feel desperate.She felt that her grandson wasn't putting in enough e
The waist of the shorts was a little too large, so Laura used a rubber band to tighten the waist.When Laura came out of the bathroom, she saw the glass of milk on the table and drank it. After that, she went to lie on the bed.Laura went on her phone for a while as Chris went into the bathroom for a shower. Listen to the sound of the running water, Laura suddenly recalled the first day that she and Chris lived together. That was when Chris walked out of the bathroom and had forgotten to put any clothes on.The flesh that was exposed was white and muscular.The thought made Laura blush even more.'Stop! Since when have I become so perverted? What was I thinking?' thought Laura.Laura was still blushing even when Chris walked out of the bathroom.Chris looked at her worriedly. "What's wrong? Are you hot? Why is your face so red?""It's nothing. It's probably because the air in the room isn't circulating, I'll go open a window." Laura got out of bed, walked to the windows, and op
The man's soft muffled voice came from above her head, and Laura realized she had caused Chris’s chin to turn red."Are you okay, I... I didn't mean to.""I'm fine." Chris also sat up from the bed and shook his head at Laura, "It doesn't matter, let’s get out of bed."Laura pursed her lips lightly. "Okay."She looked towards the side, there was a large empty space. It was probably that she had rolled over to Chris's side when she was asleep last night and kept on sleeping in his arms.Laura noticed that there was another red patch on Chris’s arm.She then said, "I was probably rolling all over the place when I was asleep and rolled to your side. Next time, you can push me away...""It doesn’t matter." Chris kept an indifferent face. "I slept heavy too, so I didn't feel anything either."He got out of bed, took his clothes, and went into the bathroom to get changed.Laura's clothes that she had washed last night were also dry, and when Chris came out of the bathroom, Laura also
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
