It was obvious that Chris was protecting Laura."You...""That's enough!" Nicholas shouted at Shona. "Come back here and behave yourself!"Shona felt aggrieved, especially when she saw how Chris was protecting Laura, who was his wife. However, Nicholas would only shout at her.Tears began trickling down Shona's cheeks again."I've already asked my friends to help look for Luke. We should be able to find him soon." Chris turned to look at Laura. He had his head lowered just now to text the men of the Jacobs family.However, Laura didn't expect Chris to mean it when he said that they should be able to find Luke soon. She thought Chris was comforting her.After all, the police had been looking for Luke for a whole day, but couldn't find anything. Laura felt that Chris wouldn't get any news any time soon either.Laura didn't expect Chris to really mean it when he said that they would be able to find Luke soon."Grandma, it's a little cold out here. The wind is quite cold. Be caref
"Luke, do you know what you're doing?" An angry look appeared on Laura's face. "You haven't gone home for two whole days. You didn't answer your phone either. Look at the state of you. You were also running when you heard me call your name. Who do you think you are?"Luke's collar was grabbed by Laura, so he gave up running away.He pursed his dry lips and said, "It has nothing to do with you. Just take care of yourself. It's none of your business."Laura sneered. "Do you think I want to have anything to do with you? If it weren't for you, Grandma wouldn't be so worried. She's not doing so great recently, do you want her to pass away?"The only person in the Walker family that Laura was worried about would be Linda."Look at what you've done recently. You're selfish, over-confident and reckless! Even if you don't care about yourself, you should still think of Mom, Grandma and Jessica. You just left for two whole days without contacting them. Aren't you scared of them being worried
Luke became in a little bit of a daze."When did you say that?""You can ask Mom."Laura had said those words to Shona, but when she heard Shona say that she was telling lies because she was jealous of Jessica, Laura didn't want to say anything else about this matter anymore.Luke thought of the time when he went to the Jacobs Group to give Jessica jacket potatoes, but was told that there was no one called Jessica Holland. Back then Jessica told him that it was because of a glitch in the computer system and the receptionist was also new.Luke opened his mouth. "Does the Jacobs Group have a sub-company called the Overdrive Corp?"Laura looked at Chris and Chris shook his head calmly.Luke's face darkened and his body was trembling.He wasn't an idiot. He could roughly guess what was going on.Laura caught his abnormal behavior and asked, "What is it?""I..." Under Laura's gaze, Laura said, "I... went to the Jacobs Group a while ago as well. The receptionist told me that there
"I'm alright, Mom." Luke opened his mouth and comforted Shona.However, Shona didn't believe him at all. She hugged Luke and began crying. Her tears and snot soaked Luke's clothes.Luke then looked at Jessica. When Jessica saw Luke looking at her, she walked over. "Luke, where have you been for the past few days? You didn't even answer my calls. Both our child and I are worried sick."Jessica's eyes turned red as well. She looked like she was very worried about Luke.If it had been in the past, seeing Jessica like this, Luke would have walked over to her to comfort her. However, now, he just glanced at Jessica before looking away."Mom, let's head upstairs. I need a shower.""Okay. Let's go. You go and get a shower and I'll get you something to eat. What do you want to eat? Tell me and I'll cook for you." Shona kept on nodding her head."Anything will do," said Luke.On the way upstairs, Shona grabbed her son's arm tightly and didn't let go. She was afraid that Luke would disap
Shona had heard the conversation between Luke and Jessica outside the bathroom and barged straight inside. Her hand was raised high and was about to slap Jessica.Luke quickly stepped forward and pulled Jessica into his arms. Shona had used a lot of strength and wasn't able to stop herself. Her hand landed on Luke's back and there was a loud slap.Luke groaned in pain."Luke, what are you doing?"Seeing this, Shona's heart ached even more."Mom, Jessica's still pregnant."Luke knew that Jessica had lied to him about her job, but he still had feelings for her and wanted to protect her.Shona was so angry that her lips were trembling. However, with Luke around, she knew that there was nothing she could do to Jessica.Jessica looked at Shona coldly and said, "Luke, didn't you want to know why I lied to you? That's all because of your mom! Your mom's a snob and you know it. Luke, we're truly in love and I'm pregnant with our child as well. If I didn't say that I worked at the Jacob
Laura had already returned to the convenience store.Seeing Luke calling her, she pressed the answer button."I've made things clear with Jessica. The reason that she lied to me was because she wanted to be with me. You know what kind of person Mom is.""Okay. This is your business, you don't have to tell me," said Laura.Luke didn't know what got over him. He just wanted to give Laura a call.After hearing Laura's words, he had nothing else to say. He nodded, hung up and returned to the dinner table.Nicholas also found out that Jessica lied about her job. He was dissatisfied with Jessica's actions, but he was a man after all. He naturally wouldn't act like Shona and shout at Jessica. However, his attitude towards Jessica became quite cold.Such a change was quite obvious to Jessica. This caused Jessica to be very obedient and well-behaved during the meal. She would take the initiative to put food on both Nicholas's and Shona's plates."Mom, I apologize again for Luke losing h
Shona called Laura, but Laura didn't answer."That bitch. I can't believe she's not answering my call."Shona felt a little frustrated. He called Laura three times in a row, but Laura still didn't answer.At that moment, Laura was counting the stock and wasn't looking at her phone.When she was done, she saw the missed calls on her phone, but she didn't want to call Shona back.What Laura didn't expect was that Shona actually showed up at her store in the afternoon. Jessica was with her as well."Laura, we're here to visit you." Jessica's attitude towards Laura was no longer disdainful. Instead, she had a big smile on her face and one of her arms was wrapped around Shona's and she was holding something with her other hand."Laura, Mom and I bought some fruits for you on our way here."Laura frowned and looked at the two people who were acting unusually.Since when would the two of them buy anything for her?Laura didn't reach out to take the bag. Instead, she asked, "What do
Standing outside the store, Shannon listened to Laura's words and her eyes turned red.'Miss Walker is treating me really well,' thought Shannon."Laura, do you not know your place? Why are you helping outsiders?" Shona couldn't help but reach out and point at Laura. "Do you think that you're married, so the Walker family has nothing to do with you anymore? You didn't give us any bride price when you got married and you didn't even help out with your brother's house either. Not that your brother doesn't have a job, you're not even letting him work at your store? Do you not know who's family? Do you see that girl or your brother as family?"The more Shona looked at Laura, the more angry she became. She was so angry that she wanted to slap Laura.Laura looked away to hide the disappointment and pain in her eyes. She then said in a cold voice, "I'd rather not have a family like you."When she was little, she had looked forward to Shona treating her a little better. However, all she g
