"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.
Laura and Chris soon arrived back home.Kieran was very efficient when doing his job. The court soon accepted the case.In court, Aron showed the transaction history and said that he was told to do this by Liam and Nicole.However, only a transaction history didn't mean anything. Nicole and Liam didn't admit to what they had done. This caused Aron's face to turn red from anger.The students in the crowd all realized that they had been tricked and they all looked at Aron, Liam, and Nicole angrily.Due to the fact that Aron couldn't provide enough evidence, Liam and Nicole couldn't be sued.Nicole had come to court and had brought a lawyer with her as well. However, she looked like she was proud of herself and was at ease. She wasn't scared at all.When the judge announced the final sentence, Nicole didn't show up either. Liam showed up, but he didn't try to slander Laura. Throughout the case, Nicole had no evidence of being involved, so she wasn't punished at all. Liam was just f
Kieran had always had a good relationship with Chris. A few years ago, Kieran had been young and aggressive. He performed really well in lawsuits but offended quite a lot of people. They were all taken care of by Chris. Otherwise, he wouldn't be alive right now.He didn't expect Chris to ask him about the lawyer fee.'Is he planning on paying me?' wondered Kieran.With that thought in mind, his face darkened."Mr. Jacobs, what's the meaning of this? Are you serious about this?" Kieran texted back."It's not what you think. My wife wants to pay you." Chris typed his reply.Chris knew that Laura didn't like owing other people favors.Kieran had guessed Laura's identity, but when he saw Chris's message, he was still shocked."You're married?"He had thought Laura was Chris's girlfriend, but he didn't expect Laura to be Chris's wife."Yeah."One simple word caused Kieran to be even more worked up."When did you get married? Was it a secret marriage?""Yes. So how much is your
'No wonder he looks like Madam Jacobs,' thought Laura."Greetings, Granduncle." Laura greeted Charlie.Charlie nodded and sized Laura up and down with his sharp eyes."Young lady, you look quite young. You're about the same age as Nicole, right?" he asked.Laura didn't know Nicole's age and she wasn't interested either.She then said with a smile, "You're here for Chris, right? He works at the Jacobs Group. I'll give him a call."Charlie shook his head and stopped what Laura was doing. "I'm not here for him. I'm here, especially for you."Laura felt a little confused. 'Why is he here for me?'She placed her phone down and looked at Charlie with a calm gaze. She waited for Charlie to continue.Charlie was observing Laura's attitude. Seeing that she was neither humble nor arrogant and was very calm, he squinted his eyes.'It looks like she's a smart person. No wonder Nicole suffered a loss in her hands,' thought Charlie."Nicole had been spoilt, but she is still a kind girl an
The two children attracted Laura's attention and she just watched them play.The two children looked a little alike. The boy was obviously a little older than the girl. They were most likely brother and sister.The little girl noticed Laura's gaze, so she walked up to her. "Are you looking at us?"The little boy noticed his sister standing in front of two strangers. He then rushed over and stood between the girl, and Laura and Chris with an alarming look on his face."Don't worry. We won't hurt you." Laura squatted down so that she was the same height as the two children."I think I know what she wants, Owen," the little girl suddenly said with a serious face."What does she want?" The little boy's face softened when he looked at the little girl."She's looking at us, so she must be wanting to play with us!" the girl said innocently and then looked at Laura. "Am I right?"Laura squatted down and pinched the girl's face with a smile. "Yes, you are! I love children who are cute l
"Harry and I are planning to go to the beach after this, do you want to come with us?" Shannon asked Laura.After giving it some thought, Laura nodded. "Sure!"The three of them waited for about a quarter of an hour after the meal before Chris came to pick them up."Have you finished?" Chris was asking everyone but his eyes were fixed on Laura."Yes, we have. I have to admit, the food here is actually quite nice," said Harry.He seemed to not have had enough as he placed some more food in his mouth."Do you want some more? We're in no rush anyway."Laura was worried that Harry didn't have enough to eat."No, I'm full. Let's head to the beach." The thought of going to the beach and enjoying the night view with Shannon made Harry very excited."What beach?" asked Chris. He was a little puzzled."Shannon just said that they were going to the beach and asked me if I wanted to join them. It felt like a good idea to me so I agreed. Do you want to come as well?" Laura turned to look
Lucas and Dawn waited for a while but their food still wasn't served."What's taking them so long?" mumbled Dawn."They're probably busy. We don't have any other plans tonight, there's no rush."Lucas picked up his phone and began playing a game. At the same time, he poured a glass of water for Dawn. "Here, have some water., it'll ease the hunger"Dawn was rendered speechless.She picked up the glass, took a sip of water, and then began looking around. That was when she noticed a table of a man and two women receiving their food as soon as they sat down.Seeing that, Dawn shouted, "Waitress!"A girl in her early 20s quickly walked over to her. "How may I help?""When will our food be served? We've already been waiting for a long time." Dawn was a little dissatisfied."I'm sorry, Miss. The kitchen is already preparing your dishes and the food will be served very soon," the waitress said apologetically."What do you mean by that? We've already been waiting for ages. Not only th
"Mr. Summers, Mr. Scholfield is waiting for you in the meeting room.""Okay."Nathan tidied his desk, picked up a file and headed towards the meeting room.As soon as he walked in, he saw Lucas sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed.Lucas had a lazy temperament and his lips were curved into a mischievous smile. He looked at his watch and said, "Mr. Summers, you're three minutes late."Nathan was used to Lucas's behavior, so he just looked at Lucas indifferently. "Here's the contract. Check to see if you have any problems with it."Lucas sat up, took the contract, and flicked through it casually. "Where's the pen?""Aren't you going to read it more carefully?""I don't think that Mr. Summers is going to trick me, right?" asked Lucas. His voice was casual and his hand was getting ready to hold a pen.Nathan smiled, took out a pen from a drawer, and signed his name on the contract before passing it to Lucas.Lucas held the pen tightly in his hand as he signed his name on the
Nathan waited in the police station with Amelia.About an hour later, two police officers brought a man in black and wearing a baseball cap in front of the two of them.There were wounds on his face as well. It was obvious that he had been beaten up.One of the officers passed a delicate purse to Amelia. "Miss Summers, is this your purse?"Amelia's eyes lit up. "Yes, that's the purse I lost.""This is the person who stole your purse, Miss Summers. What do you want us to do with him?" the other officer pointed at the man and asked.After giving it some thought, Amelia said, "I've just checked my purse and nothing's missing. I'll let him off this time.""Looks like you're in luck. Quick, thank Miss Summers for her kindness.""Thank you so much, Miss Summers!""Alright, just try not to steal things in the future. You can leave now." Amelia waved her hand.After the man in black was released, Amelia and Nathan headed back home as well.Amelia then sent a text to the man in black
"Get someone to find out why Amelia went to the police station today." Nathan gave the order."Yes, Mr. Summers. I'll get right on it." Dominic nodded and went out of the room.After giving it some thought, Nathan still felt that he should head to the police station in person to ask Amelia what she was doing.When Nathan arrived at the police station, Amelia had just finished talking to Jack."Amelia!" Nathan called out.Amelia stopped walking and turned around. She then looked at Nathan with a face full of surprise."Nathan, what are you doing here?" Amelia smiled and walked over to Nathan."I came to check if Jack had said anything else. I've also heard that you came to the police station instead of to work, so I thought I'd come to give you a lift on the way back."Amelia nodded with a smile. "Okay, I'll head back home with you once I've found my purse.""What purse?" Nathan felt a little puzzled."I was going out with a few friends, but I lost my purse on my way. There we
"Please take a seat, Miss Summers. We've already sent men to look for your purse. We'll find it soon." One of the officers put on a big smile and tried to please Amelia when he found out that she was the daughter of the Summers family.Amelia just nodded and then went to sit on the chair.A while later Amelia asked the officer that just spoke to her, "I'm a little bored. Can I take a look around?""Sure! I can...""There's no need. I want to take a look around by myself. Notify me when you find my purse."With that said, Amelia left the reception room and began walking around the police station.She didn't get far before she saw Jack."I need to speak to Jack," Amelia said to the guard outside the cell."I'm sorry, Miss Summers. Mr. Summers gave us specific orders to keep an eye on him and not let anyone visit him."The guard stopped Amelia. His attitude was respectful, but wasn't letting her anywhere near Jack."Do you not know who I am?" Amelia became a little angry. She co
After losing her memories, Mrs. Summers couldn't remember anything. She didn't want to dwell on this matter since it was in the past.However, Alex wasn't going to let Nancy off that easily. "She must be punished. Otherwise, who knows what she would do next time!"Nancy had become more and more arrogant. Alex felt that if he didn't teach her a lesson now, she would do something even worse.After hearing Alex's words, Mrs. Summers still didn't want to punish Nancy. "She's our child after all. We shouldn't criticize her too much. Everyone makes mistakes, right? Let her off this once for me."Nancy kept nodding her head after hearing Mrs. Summers' words. "Dad, I'm so sorry. I promise there won't be a next time. Please forgive me just this once."Seeing that Mrs. Summers was asking him to let Nancy off, Alex had no choice but to say, "Since your mom has forgiven you, then I'll let you off this once. But if there's a next time, I'll kick you out of the Summers family myself!"Nancy qu
Seeing the look on Nancy's face, Alex knew that she knew about the glass of water. His face immediately paled.Amelia quickly walked forward. "Dad, Nancy was just a little thoughtless, I think she didn't mean any harm."Her words made Alex even more infuriated. "She was thoughtless? Was that the reason to add sleeping pills to the water?"If it weren't for that glass of water, Alex wouldn't have been in a deep slumber and the things that followed wouldn't have happened.Nancy began shaking in fear. That was because she did add sleeping pills to the glass of water.She was planning on getting Chris to drink the water and then she would get someone to bring Chris to her room when he was asleep.That way, Chris would have to be responsible for her under the pressure of the Summers family.However, what Nancy didn't expect was that Alex drank the water instead of Chris.Amelia wasn't worried that Nancy would sell her out. That was because drugging Chris wasn't something appropriate
