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
Just as Shona finished speaking, Helen began to cough and her face paled even more.She leaned against the head of the bed and forced a smile on her face. "It's alright. As long as I can be together with Lewis, I don't care about the rest..."When Lewis returned after buying breakfast, he heard Helen's words at the door and was moved."Helen..." Lewis walked into the room. "Helen, breakfast is here. These are all your favorites."Lewis walked over to set up the foldaway table in front of Helen and placed the food on it.Shona looked at the bag and saw the words "Supreme Cuisine".She had heard of the Supreme Cuisine before. It was a very high-class restaurant in Empfield. Their takeaways would be limited every day and they wouldn't accept pre-orders. One would need to go to the restaurant and queue up in person for hours and might not even be able to purchase the takeaway. A lot of people in Empfield wanted to taste the food from Supreme Cuisine.'Do all men from the Jacobs fami
As his only granddaughter, even though she was adopted, Nicole was still spoilt by the people around her.However, when she came to visit the people in this room, they treated her as if she was just an insignificant person.Nicole couldn't help but feel frustrated.She wanted to just leave, but she knew the person that her grandfather cared about the most was this sister of his. If she left just like that, her grandfather would definitely be mad at her."Grandaunt, my grandfather's hospitalized as well, so he didn't come this time and told me to come visit you. He told me not to head back home until you got better. Therefore, where am I going to live for the next few days?"The ward was filled with the smell of disinfectant, so Nicole didn't want to stay any longer.Madam Jacobs' brother was an entrepreneur and wanted to only rely on himself for his career. Even though his sister had married into the Jacobs family, he still chose not to tell anyone about his relationship with the
