Hearing the sobs in Laura's voice, Chris's heart ached even more.He reached out and rubbed Laura's head and then picked her up in his arms. "Alright, let's go home.""Okay." Laura nodded. She cuddled in Chris's arms.Laura was still worried about Shannon as well. She pulled Chris's collar and said, "There's the girl who works at my store as well. She's also locked up."Chris nodded and then looked at Harry. Harry then quickly headed to the other interrogation room.Laura was carried out of the police station by Chris and no one dared to stop them."Wait for me in the car. I'll be back soon." Chris placed Laura in the passenger seat.Laura grabbed his hand and said, "I didn't do anything wrong. It was Jasmine who brought men and wrecked my convenience store. I then called the police, but these people not only ignored this matter, they also locked Shannon and me in separate interrogation rooms."As she said those words, she pulled something out of her bag. "Here you go."It was
It took Harry a lot of effort to bring Shannon out of the police station. When Shannon saw Laura, she immediately ran towards her."Sobs. Miss Walker, I thought I wouldn't be able to see you for the rest of my life."Shannon wasn't as strong as Laura mentally. During the time she was locked in the interrogation room, she was about to have a mental breakdown.Laura pulled Shannon into her arms. "I'm sorry, Shannon. I've dragged you into this."Laura knew that she was Jasmine's target and Shannon had nothing to do with what happened between them."It's alright, Miss Walker..."As Shannon cried, she suddenly had hiccups. A bubble was also formed by the snot in her nose.Laura had been cooking lunch for Shannon, so she didn't feel that Laura had dragged her into trouble.Looking at the state of Shannon, a disdainful look appeared on Harry's face. However, Laura took out some tissue from her bag and wiped Shannon's face."Miss Walker, we can't let them off that easily after what th
Laura's words caused Chris to swallow the words that he was about to say.He swallowed and asked, "Who is it?""Emily."Laura looked in front of her. Her gaze was calm.Chris frowned slightly. It seemed that it took him a while to remember who Emily was."What are you planning on doing?""I'll go talk to her tomorrow.""Okay." Chris nodded. But deep down, he could only sigh.It seemed that he still couldn't tell Laura about his true identity. He felt that it would end badly.Chris was scared that Laura was going to leave him.This caused him to be frustrated.He regretted his decision now.Chris took Laura home. After what happened today, Laura was really tired.Laura had a shower and quickly went to bed.Chris had prepared a glass of milk for Laura, but when he saw the state of her, he pursed his lips and decided not to disturb her.At the Empfield Club.Jasmine was sitting on a sofa and was waiting. Harry and Sean didn't bring Jasmine with them when they left. Jasmine
On the morning of the next day.When Laura arrived at the convenience store, she saw a group of men standing at the entrance.Seeing so many people, Laura became alarmed.Not knowing when Laura would arrive, Sean had been waiting there quite early in the morning.This was the first time that he had gotten out of bed so early for so many years.Sean first greeted Chris, but Chris ignored him completely. He just walked straight towards the Jacobs Group. Sean could only swallow the words he was about to say. He then bowed towards Laura and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Walker, I really am. I was a fool yesterday. I was tricked by someone else."Laura gave the man in front of her a strange look. "Who are you? What do you mean?"Sean recalled what Harry had told him.He couldn't let Laura know about Chris's and Harry's true identity."I'm... Jasmine's boyfriend. Well, ex..." said Sean.Before Sean could finish, Laura's face darkened."What are you doing here? Do you think my store isn't
It was quite obvious who Shannon was talking about.Sean looked in Shannon's direction and his lips moved. No one knew what he said in return.During the time that the store was being redecorated, Laura and Shannon ordered some new stock. After all, Sean did say that he was going to buy everything they had in the store.After making the order, Laura looked at the time. It was about time she went to meet a certain someone."You go, Miss Walker. I'll be fine by myself.""Okay." Laura nodded at Shannon. "I'll be back soon."As soon as Laura left, a taxi pulled over at the side of the road.Harry got out of the car. In order to keep his identity a secret, Harry would always come to the Jacobs Group in a taxi.He had heard that Sean had brought men to renovate Laura's store, so he came to see how things were going.After getting out of the taxi, Harry didn't see Laura. Instead, he saw the crybaby from last night.Harry walked over and said, "Hey, crybaby, where's Laura?""Who are
Emily clenched her fists, which were on the table. The expression on her face still didn't change. "These are all just your guesses, Laura. You don't have any proof."Laura curved her lips into a smile. "Who told you I don't have any proof? I have a voice recording.""A voice recording?" Emily's face changed. She subconsciously raised her voice. "Zack's wife has a voice recording?"Emily instantly realized that something was wrong when she said those words.The smile on Laura's face disappeared.Seeing this, Emily didn't try to hide things anymore. She sneered. "You're right. I was the one who told Zack's wife about Jasmine. I was also the one who blamed it on you."Jasmine still couldn't forget about the beating she received from Zack's wife. Emily pretended to bump into Jasmine and "unintentionally" brought this matter up in front of Jasmine and put the blame on Laura.Jasmine had never liked Laura. She knew Laura would occasionally talk to Emily, so she immediately believed E
When Laura walked out of the cafe, she stood there for a while before leaving.She didn't go to Zack's wife and the voice recording didn't exist either. She said that just now to deceive Emily.However, when Liam proposed to her that day, she didn't see Emily. This was why Laura didn't tell Emily about what happened. That was because Emily already knew.Laura didn't like being involved in other people's relationships. When the three of them had dinner together last time, even as an outsider, Laura could see some of the problems between Emily and Liam, not to mention Emily.However, Emily wasn't willing to face reality and wasn't willing to accept the truth.She was deeply in love with Liam.'Looks like relationships do hurt people,' thought Laura.She walked along the sidewalk and allowed the cold wind to blow past her.The Jacobs Group began making things difficult for the Johnson and Booth families. This allowed Sean's father to find out what foolish thing his son had done.
Mark thought that Chris was going to ask him to give him the piece of land for free. He didn't expect Chris to say that he was going to pay for the land.The price of the land wasn't cheap at all."What? You don't want the money?""No, it's not that. The Booth Group is willing to give you the land for free, Mr. Jacobs.""Let's not pretend anymore." Chris raised his head. He moved his fingers and Assistant Jacobs passed the document to Mark."Mr. Booth, please take a look at the contract. If there aren't any problems, then please sign it."Mark was at a loss for words.Chris had already prepared the contract.However, Mark knew that the land could help the Booth Group go up the ladder, but if the Jacobs Group targeted them, then the Booth Group would become bankrupt before they were able to finish the project.If the land could be used in exchange for the Booth Group's safety, then it was worth it.Besides, Chris was willing to buy the land, so the Booth Group didn't lose out
