"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
Kieran's words caused the people who wanted to sneak away to freeze.Their faces changed and then looked at the boy who proposed to Laura."What privacy are you talking about? Just show the chat history to us.""That's right. Show the chat history to Mr. Somerfield and let everyone know what kind of person that woman is.""I don't want to be detained. Show the chat history to everyone."The students all wanted the boy to show everyone the chat history, but the boy didn't move. Seeing this, the faces of the students who humiliated Laura all changed."What's going on? You weren't lying to us, were you?""Are you going to show it to us or not? If you're not going to show us your chat history, you can just show us the transaction history of your bank account. Don't tell us that you're a liar!"The words of the people in the crowd and what Kieran had just said made the boy break into a cold sweat. The boy's real name was Aron."Alright, alright. I'll show it to you guys."Aron too
Laura wasn't a saint. She wasn't going to let someone who had humiliated her, got in her way and slandered her off so easily. Saying sorry just wouldn't cut it."Okay." Kieran didn't have any problems with that.If Laura wanted to forgive the people around her, Kieran wouldn't say anything either.If Laura said that she wanted to hold them responsible, then Kieran would definitely do whatever he could to hold these people responsible for what they had done.Kieran went to make a phone call and contacted his assistant.After hanging up, Kieran looked at the students around them. "Well, guys, just wait for your summons by the court."The faces of everyone around them changed.Liam gritted his teeth. "Laura, are you serious? It's only a small matter and you're going to go to court? They are all your schoolmates."Laura looked at Liam with cold eyes. "Then how about you stand there and let them humiliate you for the same amount of time? If you're willing to do so, I won't sue them.
