Shona obviously didn't expect Jennifer's mother to show up there, and looking at the clothes she was wearing, which were still pajamas, Shona was immediately dumbfounded."What's going on? Why are you here? What did you just say? What do you mean by your home?"Jennifer didn't answer, but instead looked at Shona, as well as the things that Linda and Laura were carrying in their hands."Luke's mom, why have you brought so many things with you? Are they for me?"Jennifer sounded like she was the owner of the house.Shona's face changed immediately."We're moving house, so it's normal for us to bring things over.""Moving house? Where are you guys moving to? Here? Oops, sorry in-laws, Jessica, her father, her grandmother and I just moved in yesterday. There are only four bedrooms here, one for Jessica and Luke, one for her father and me, one for her grandmother, and one for my grandson. There's probably no more room for you."Shona had a bad-tempered, and Jennifer's words immediat
Shona and Jennifer got into a fight because they were too angry.Now that they had calmed down, when she heard Jennifer’s words, Shona subconsciously wanted to shout no, but she only moved her lips and no sound came out. She turned towards Luke and said, "Luke, we’ve bought this house for you and paid in full. We did say before that we’re going to move in. Why did you let them move in?""Them? Who are you referring to, Mrs. Walker?"Without waiting for Luke to speak, Jessica suddenly raised her voice.She looked at Shona with anger on her face. "They are my parents and grandparent. What's wrong with them living in my house? My name is also on the property ownership certificate."Seeing her mother being beaten, Jessica no longer wanted to pretend to be weak in front of Shona.She had already got the house and car. Only the bride price was missing. With Luke around, she would definitely receive the bride price."My parents came to live in my house, what's wrong with that?""Exact
Just when Laura thought that Shona wouldn't help herself, she heard Shona's voice echo throughout the corridor.This made Laura a little surprised."Mom, Laura, let's go."By now, Shona had already seen the situation clearly.Her own son was clearly on the side of the Holland family, and now that Jessica was still pregnant with her grandson, Shona had to admit defeat.She was willing to give up her house as long as her son was happy.She carried her things and walked downstairs, Laura and Linda didn't say anything and followed her downstairs.This was the first time Laura had seen such a look of frustration on Shona's face.According to Shona's temperament, if it had been in the past, she would never let herself suffer, but now for the sake of her son and grandson, she compromised.Not knowing what came to mind, the corner of Laura's mouth hooked into a self-deprecating smile.As expected, Shona was able to compromise again and again for the sake of her son.The three of the
Chris was not only good-looking, but also talented as well. His good temper would cause anyone to like him after spending some time together.However, Laura knew that she and Chris were only in a contract marriage. The two of them would separate sooner or later and she shouldn't have other thoughts about their relationship.Laura quickly forced herself to put away the thoughts that she shouldn't have. However, in the near future, Chris would regret that he had signed the contract.After Laura and the others had left, Jessica looked at her mother's messy hair and the scars on her face. This caused Jessica to feel unhappy."Luke, you must give me an explanation for what happened today. Members of your family came and gave my mom and grandma a beating. Do you really think I don't have a temper?""I'm so sorry, Jessica. I didn't know that they would come today. Don't worry. I'll make things clear with them and they won't step foot into this house in the future. You'll be in charge of
Laura felt that she would need to think of another excuse to convince Linda to move in with her.When they arrived outside the community that the Walker family lived in, Chris got out of the car with Laura. The two of them walked upstairs together.Seeing Laura and Chris, Linda asked in surprise, "Laura, Chris, what are you doing here?"Shona was unpacking. When she raised her head and saw Laura return, she felt puzzled. However, when she saw Chris, she was stunned.Laura walked up to Linda and said, "Grandma, Chris, and I had thought about it and felt that we still want you to move in with us. It's because we're planning on having a baby, but neither of us has any experience of the food that we should eat. We're normally busy with work as well, so we would normally order takeaways. I want Grandma to come and cook for us."If it had been any other excuse, Linda might not have agreed to move in with Laura, but after hearing that Laura was planning on having a baby, Linda's eyes lit
On the morning of the next day. When Laura and Chris got out of bed, Linda had already prepared breakfast and had come back from a morning walk.Elders would normally sleep early at night and wake up earlier in the morning.After the three of them finished breakfast, Linda decided to go to the convenience store with Laura, because Laura wouldn't come home for lunch.After arriving at the convenience store, Laura introduced Shannon to Linda.Shannon was a sweet girl and very talkative. She was able to get along with Madam Jacobs in the past and Linda was no exception.After being engaged in a conversation with Shannon for a while, Linda decided to go for a walk around the store. This was so that she could get used to the surroundings. She was also planning on seeing if there was an open market nearby for her to buy some groceries as she planned on cooking something that was nutritious for Laura during lunch.However, as soon as Linda walked to the door, she seemed to have remember
Luke was taken aback at first, but then said, "Don't try to change the subject. Weren't you the one who encouraged them to fight?""I was the one who encouraged them? Who do you think I am?" Laura laughed disdainfully. "Mom had bought this house for you in full payment. You promised them that they could move in and take care of your child for you. However, what did you just do? You didn't even tell us anything before you allowed the members of the Holland family to move in. Don't you know what kind of person Mom is? If it weren't for you, do you think she would just leave like that yesterday and give up the house?"The house was bought in full payment, but Shona didn't even get to move in. Instead, the Holland family moved in. The most important thing was that Luke and Jessica weren't even married yet. They didn't even get a marriage certificate yet."Because of you, Mom was willing to give the Holland family 40 thousand dollars as bride price, the car was under Jessica's name and J
"Hello, sir. There isn't anyone called Jessica Holland in our company," the receptionist said with a smile to Luke after checking on the computer.Luke was taken aback but still retorted, "That's not possible. My girlfriend works here.""I do apologize, sir, but there isn't anyone called Jessica Holland on our system.""Could there be some kind of mistake? Or did you miss something out?""I'm sorry, sir, but our system is the state of the art in Empfield. The problems you say doesn't exist."Luke walked out of the Jacobs Group. Somehow, Laura's words suddenly echoed in his mind. 'Think about the things you encounter. Don't be fooled by others.'In the evening.When Jessica arrived home and turned on the lights, she saw Luke sitting on the sofa and staring at her."Are you trying to scare me to death? Can't you tell me you're still in the living room?"Jessica patted her chest as she tried to calm herself down. She then placed the bag in her hand on the shelf and changed into a
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
