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
Charlie sneered at Laura's words.He didn't believe that Laura would drive him out with force.That would be outrageous."I am willing to leave if you're willing to let Nicole out."Nicole was only sentenced to two weeks of detention, but this meant that Charlie would have to worry about her for two weeks.She had never suffered ever since she was born. The food in the detention center would be nowhere near as good as the food at home either. The bed would be worse as well.Such a thought made Charlie's heart ache.According to what Nicole had told him, Charlie thought that Chris wasn't treating her badly, but Laura didn't like her at all. She even said that Laura had treated her badly ever since the first day she arrived. She didn't know her way around Empfield and asked Laura to help her get some food, but Laura refused.Therefore, Laura would definitely be the one who had sent Nicole behind bars.Charlie used his connections and money in an attempt to get Nicole out of the
"I... I haven't had the chance to tell your grandma yet," said Charlie. "You didn't tell anyone that you're married, so I was curious what Laura looked like. That's why I came over to take a look.""Is that so?" Chris looked at Charlie with a meaningful smile.Chris was the junior and Charlie was the elder, but the latter didn't dare look at the former in the eyes."There's one more thing." Charlie held a fist to his mouth and coughed. "Chris, Nicole is currently in the detention center. I've spoilt her, so she can be a little unreasonable at times, but she's still a kind person. I was wondering if you could withdraw the accusation and get her to be released. I've spoilt her, so I'm worried that she will not be able to last the two weeks in the detention center. Her body condition isn't that great either. I'm asking you as your granduncle to forgive her. Chris, please can you let her out?"Even Charlie wasn't able to use force when faced with Chris.He was very careful when he was
Looking at Charlie being so hesitant, Chris smiled and said, "Looks like Granduncle is too excited to see you, Grandma. Let me tell you why he's here."Chris told Madam Jacobs everything that happened from the beginning. When she heard that Nicole bribed a student from the University of Empfield to publicly humiliate Laura, she was infuriated.She then heard about Nicole taking creepshots of Laura and sent them to Chris and said that Laura was a whore. This caused Madam Jacobs to be so angry that she began to shake."She deserves to be in the detention center! How dare you come and blame Laura for it? You can forget about what you came here for!"Charlie looked at Madam Jacobs with a sad face. "Taylor... Nicole's still a child. I believe that she didn't do those things on purpose. She's a straightforward person, she didn't mean what she said. Nicole doesn't normally think about the things that she says, but I don't think she should be detained for two weeks. She'll definitely suffe
Madam Jacobs' words caused Nicole's face to darken."Grandaunt, we're all members of the same family. Don't you think this is going a little too far?"As Madam Jacobs listened to Nicole's words, she realized that Nicole still didn't think she had done anything wrong. She shook her head and the disappoint was evident in her eyes.She felt she shouldn't have had any hope that Nicole would realize her mistakes. Madam Jacobs also felt that she shouldn't have come to visit Nicole.She no longer wanted to waste any time on Nicole, so she turned on her heels and left.Charlie didn't leave. He sighed. "Nicole..."Seeing the look on Charlie's face, Nicole's heart skipped a beat."What's the meaning of this, Grandpa? Are you really going to let me stay in this detention center for two weeks?"If that was the case, Nicole felt that she would go crazy.However, Charlie nodded his head."Nicole, I want to get you out of here as well, but I can't. This is Empfield and not Springmount. I do
However, Harry wasn't someone who would give up easily either.He decided that he wanted to pursue Shannon and get her to become his girlfriend."You can... but you'd better ask for Shannon's opinion. I can't make any decisions for her."Laura's words made things difficult for Harry.He stood there silently for a while.Looking at the state of Harry, Laura squinted her eyes and said, "Don't tell me that you and Shannon didn't talk after the two of you parted that day?"Harry nodded awkwardly at Laura. "I... I don't know what to talk to her about...""So she doesn't know that you've brought things for her today?""Yep..."Laura immediately knew what was going on."I can't make this decision for Shannon. If you want to leave these things here, you can contact Shannon and ask her. See if she agrees.""I... Can you help me do that, Laura?" Harry chuckled at Laura.Whenever Harry thought of calling Shannon, he would somehow feel embarrassed.Laura didn't say yes, nor did she sa
"I'll leave the things here then, Laura."Harry left the things he brought in the store.Laura nodded.Looking at Laura in the eyes, Harry chuckled. "I'll get going and leave you to your job then."After saying goodbye to Harry, Laura walked out of the convenience store.However, as soon as Harry left, Laura remembered something.The milk powder that Harry had bought for Shannon was for pregnant women. Why would Harry buy something that was made for pregnant women?She had wanted to ask Harry, but she forgot.Shannon returned in the afternoon.The reason that she had gone back to her hometown was because an elder had fallen ill and she went back to visit the elder.Shannon's hometown was Springmount. When she came back to Empfield, she had brought some specialties from Springmount.Laura smiled and thanked Shannon. After that, she took out the things Harry left for Shannon. "Harry left these for you."Shannon lowered her head and looked at what was in the bags. There were t
