Chris didn't speak, but Laura could still feel his eyes on her in the dark.Laura struggled again but was unable to break free, so she gave up."Chris, what are you doing?"There was helplessness in Laura's voice."What's up with you today? Why are you ignoring me?""I'm not...""I call bullshit on that."Chris's voice was a little cold, but if Laura listened carefully, he sounded a little pitiful as well."Have I done something that made you mad? If you're mad at me, you can tell me why, but please don't ignore me like this."Chris could feel that Laura didn't want to talk to him. He might not have said anything, but deep down, he felt very uncomfortable.That was when Chris recalled Assistant Jacobs' words and felt that a woman could really be unpredictable at times.'Could it be that some of my actions made her mad, but I just didn't know?' wondered Chris.This was a situation that Chris didn't want to be in."Tell me what have I done wrong. I won't do something like th
"Nothing. I'm going to wash up and then go to bed." Laura's ears began to turn red.She pushed Chris away, placed the bag in her hand on the shelf, quickly changed her shoes, and then ran into the bathroom.Chris's eyes followed Laura until she closed the bathroom doors. After that, he looked away.Meanwhile, his eyes darkened a little.At first, Christ felt a little excited when Laura asked him about the picture.He was wondering if Laura was jealous.However, when he heard Laura say that she didn't like people lying to her, Chris's heart sank.On the morning of the next day.Laura got out of bed and had breakfast with Chris just like before.When she thought of what happened the night before, Laura was still a little embarrassed. She didn't even dare to look Chris in the eyes.Chris still acted like his usual self and even peeled a hard-boiled egg for Laura, but Laura didn't accept the egg."I can peel my own egg, you can have it."Chris raised his head and glanced at Lau
"I'd suggest you know your place, Laura. You should leave my cousin as soon as possible. A store manager of a convenience store is not worthy of being my cousin's wife."Nicole had found out from Liam that Chris was the Jacobs Group's CEO's assistant.He didn't make as much money as her family's company did, but he still worked as the CEO's assistant at the Jacobs Group. It was still something to be proud of. Nicole felt that he was worthy of being her husband.This caused Nicole to like Chris even more and was more determined to make him her husband."Laura, relationships can't be forced. Forced marriages won't end up too well."Thinking of what Liam told her yesterday, Nicole felt that Laura was able to marry Chris because she kept on pestering him. This caused Nicole to be very mad at Laura. 'This woman knows no shame at all! Chris is not only handsome but talented as well. How could he fall in love with a bumpkin like Laura?'"How do you know this marriage won't end up well i
"You..." Nicole was at a loss for words after hearing what Laura had said. The only thing she could say was, "Just you wait, I won't allow you to continue to pester my cousin!"With that said, Nicole barged out of the convenience store angrily.Laura didn't take Nicole's words to heart. She just went back to doing her job.Her phone which was placed to one side rang and Laura picked it up. When she saw that the call was from Prof. Wilson, she quickly answered it.Prof. Wilson's voice sounded on the other end of the line. "Laura, there's another lecture this Saturday. You've stood me up last time, I've saved you another place this time, make sure you come!"Last time, Laura promised Prof. Wilson that she would go to Prof. Wilson's lecture, but Linda had suddenly fallen ill and needed an operation. Laura rushed to the hospital when she found out and was unable to go to Prof. Wilson's lecture. She also felt it was a pity that she wasn't able to go.What Laura didn't expect was that
Madam Jacobs knew what Lewis had in mind immediately. "I've already given you money, so you can forget about asking me to give you any more money."Lewis scratched his head after hearing Madam Jacobs' words. He then looked at Chris and Laura.Helen saved Madam Jacobs' life, so Chris gave him 1 million dollars. But it was nowhere near enough for Lewis.He wanted to come to talk to Madam Jacobs and see if she could give him any more money. However, Madam Jacobs immediately knew what he was thinking.Chris and Laura were in the room, so Lewis knew he wouldn't be able to get any more money today."Mom, what are you talking about? Why would I be here to ask for money? Am I that kind of person? I'm just worried about you and wanted to come see you." Lewis looked at Nicole and quickly changed the subject. "Mom, who's this?"Nicole had been sizing Lewis up. When she heard him call Madam Jacobs, mom, she knew who he was.Nicole walked forward and said with a smile, "Hi, Uncle. I'm Nicole
"Excuse me, who are you?" Laura looked at the boy in front of her whilst feeling confused."Who am I?" The boy widened his eyes in shock when he heard Laura's words. They were also filled with disbelief. "We've been talking for so long on WhatsApp. You're the one who said that you'll be my girlfriend if I propose to you. Now you're asking me who am I?"Laura had no idea what he was talking about.The boy's loud voice attracted the attention of a lot of passersby.They exchanged glances and walked over curiously.Laura looked around her and said, "Excuse me, have you got the wrong person? I don't know you and I haven't been talking to you online.""I'll still recognize you even if you've turned to ash!" The boy's eyes were filled with hatred. "We've been talking online for over two weeks. I've bought you a lot of things already. I've spent over 10 thousand dollars on you. You said that you'd be my girlfriend if I proposed. Why are you not admitting it now? Are you trying to not ke
Liam emphasized the word "another" and made the way the crowd looked at Laura change again.Liam had been doing research for a while after he had graduated. He had also shared his experience. This meant that a lot of the University of Empfield's students recognized him."Isn't that Liam? Do you know this girl, Liam?""I was wondering if there was a misunderstanding in this matter, but when Liam used the word 'another', I think I know what's going on now.""Tut, tut, tut. Girls nowadays really don't know how to respect themselves. They even play around with other people's feelings. From what Liam had just said, it sounds like she used to be a student at this university as well. I can't believe the university would take her in!"The people in the crowd who had been speaking up for Laura all turned on her after Liam had appeared.Liam deliberately walked closer to Laura and shortened the distance between them. Nicole looked at such a scene from not far away and quickly took a few pi
A man in black walked through the crowd and towards Laura.He had a cold expression on his face and his dark eyes were fixed on Liam. It was as if a storm was coming.Behind the man, was another man in glasses.Chris walked towards Laura."How come you're here?" Laura was still wondering if Chris had arrived at the school gates. She didn't expect him to have come inside the campus.He looked at the woman in front of him. He reached out and caressed Laura's hair."I'm here to pick you up."When faced with Laura, Chris would always have a gentle expression on his face. However, when he turned to look at the crowd, his face turned cold. "Since you're going to help your classmate, then I'd suggest you do so properly."As Chris finished speaking, he nodded at the man with glasses behind him.Some people in the crowd recognized him."Hey, isn't that Kieran Somerfield, the top lawyer at Empfield's best law firm?""Oh my god! Isn't Kieran employed by the Jacobs Group as a legal advi
