Inside the lounge. Neither Harry nor Shannon was backing down. One insisted on getting married and the other refused.Harry's face was dark, but he knew this was not something he could force. All he could do was think of other ways.However, he had no idea what he could do. He planned on asking Madam Jacobs for help.When Harry walked out of the lounge, Madam Jacobs had already arrived.She rushed over as soon as she could after receiving Chris's text. She had a big smile on her face."How come you're here, Grandma? I was just about to go to your house." Harry was slightly taken aback. He then realized that Chris was present as well. "Chris, you're here as well?"Madam Jacobs coughed softly. "Well, I felt bored, so I thought I'd come find Laura. Why are you here? Why did you come out from the lounge?"Madam Jacobs was asking an obvious question.Harry gritted his teeth and said, "Grandma, I want to marry Shannon. Please can you give me some suggestions?"As soon as Harry said
Laura walked up to Shannon and sat down beside her. “I’ve realized that there’s something going between you and Harry a few days ago.”She could guess Madam Jacobs’ arrival was because she told Chris about what was going on between Shannon and Harry and Chris told Madam Jacobs about it.“It’s fine, Miss Walker. I know you could tell.” Shannon took the piece of tissue that Laura had passed to her and wiped her nose. “You’re a family, so it’s normal for you to care about each other. It was just that Harry was way too stubborn and impulsive. I’ve already told him clearly in the lounge that I won’t marry him. I only want to marry someone who loves me and not just because he wants to be responsible. I don’t need him to be responsible. I also hope that he could marry someone he likes and be happy. I felt that I’ve been very clear, but he still didn’t listen.”Shannon told Laura about what happened between her and Harry. After listening to the whole story, Laura’s first reaction was to ask
Chris smiled. "Okay, but I have plans tonight. How about another day?" Harry smiled."Okay." Shannon nodded.Harry added Shannon on WhatsApp and then said goodbye to everyone before leaving.Madam Jacobs came over after she had lunch, but Chris, Laura and Shannon didn't have anything to eat yet.Laura and Chris went to make lunch whilst Shannon kept Madam Jacobs company.After lunch, Madam Jacobs didn't stay to disturb Laura and Shannon and was prepared to head home.Madam Jacob would have a driver and some bodyguards of the Jacobs family with her every time she headed out, but sometimes she liked to take a walk alone. After all, no one liked to be followed all the time.She didn't have anything to do today, so she asked the driver and bodyguards to head back first. She planned on going to a shopping center alone and buying some wool to knit some gloves and scarves for her future great-grandchild.Madam Jacobs looked forward to having great grandchildren.After she had finishe
One of the police officers described what happened in the afternoon to Laura and Chris.The address of the little girl's house was in a small alleyway and away from the city center. It was in an old part of Empfield.After Madam Jacobs accompanied the little girl home, she came across the criminal. There was no way for an elder woman to be able to resist a criminal armed with a knife.The alleyway was very old, so there were no security guards around. Madam Jacobs' arm was injured by the knife and when the criminal was about to stab Madam Jacobs, Helen appeared from the side and shielded Madam Jacobs.However, the knife stabbed into Helen's belly and the child was killed.Laura was gobsmacked.Chris looked at Helen, who was lying on the hospital bed, with sharp eyes and said, "Why were you in that alleyway?"Helen's eyes were red and she forced a smile on her pale face. She just wanted to say something, but suddenly began coughing.When Lewis saw this, he stood up from the side
Lewis kept on crying.Chris asked the doctor about the situation. The wound on Madam Jacobs' arm was quite deep and would need careful treatment. Chris arranged for an independent ward for Madam Jacobs and walked out of Helen's ward with her. Laura chose to stay behind and keep Madam Jacobs company."Grandma, do you want some apples?"It was the winter and the apples were a little cold. Therefore, Laura rinsed them with some hot water from the tap.After Chris had finished arranging the ward for Madam Jacobs, he went downstairs and headed to the police station.Outside the police station, Assistant Jacobs was already waiting."Mr. Jacobs." When Assistant Jacobs saw Chris, he walked over to him. "The identity of the attacker has been verified. It was said that he's a broke businessman. He has a mother, wife and daughter, but because he was under too much pressure, he became a psychopath. He had just escaped from mental hospital not too long ago. After hurting Madam Jacobs, he ran
"I gave her a million dollars."The money was requested by Lewis. At first, he requested 2 million dollars and also for Chris to give him back his position in the Jacobs Group, but Chris didn't let him get what he wanted.If the criminal had nothing to do with Helen and Helen's child really was killed because she tried to save Madam Jacobs, then Chris wouldn't mind giving him another 1 million dollars. This was what Helen deserved. It was payment for saving Madam Jacobs' life.Chris felt that if he found out that the criminal was related to Helen, then he would make her and Lewis spit out the money he gave them. It wouldn't be that easy to get money from him.A ruthless look appeared in Chris's eyes.When Madam Jacobs heard Chris's words, she nodded her head.It was just as she had expected. She was planning on telling Chris to give Lewis money as well. That way, she would owe him and Helen anything. Especially Helen.After all, Madam Jacobs had lived in an affluent family most
Shona's words caused Laura's face to darken.Linda also said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about?""It's alright."Since Laura was present, Madam Jacobs didn't want to make a fuss about what Shona had just said. She still kept a smile on her face.However, Linda said, "Shona, you can go and take a walk if you have nothing to do. Don't just sit there!""What do you mean I have nothing to do? It's so cold outside, there's no way I'm going out there." Shona rolled her eyes at Linda and ignored her. "Madam Jacobs, the way I see it, you're getting old as well and Helen saved your life. Since she and Lewis had been together for so long, you might as well let them return to the Jacobs family.It was obvious that Shona was speaking on Helen's behalf."Do you like to stick your nose into other people's business so much?" Laura and Chris walked into the ward together with a dark face.Chris placed the lunchbox in his hand on the table."You bit..." Shona subconsciously wanted
Lewis wasn't in the ward, but there was a middle-aged man in doctor's overalls in the room.The man sized Helen up and down and then his gaze landed on Helen's pale face. There seemed to be a scheming look on that tender face of his. "When will I receive the 200 thousand dollars you promised me?""After a while."The wound on Helen's abdomen would cause her to be in pain every time she spoke. She opened her mouth a little to breathe and then said, "I think Chris is already getting suspicious. You know how hard it is to fool him. If I transfer you the money now, he won't be able to get away with it as well when he finds out the truth."The man smiled and didn't retort. "You've been with Lewis for 20 years, but in the end, you weren't even allowed into the Jacobs family. You don't even have a title. Why don't you be my woman?""Be your woman?" A sarcastic look appeared on Helen's face. "Lewis is still a member of the Jacobs family no matter what. Who do you think you are?"Helen's
