'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

Now, she wanted to head home and wash up.Laura nodded and had no problems with that.After Shannon had left, there were only Laura and Chris in the convenience store.The phone on the counter rang and Laura picked it up. It was a WhatsApp message sent by Harry."How did it go, Laura? Did Shannon like the things I bought for her?" asked Harry.Chris was standing beside Laura.

You said that your husband's eldest son would find out about our deal, so you're going to have to wait a while. Now that a month has passed, it's time for you to pay up, right?"Lewis had given the 1 million dollars that Chris had given him to Helen.Helen took out her phone from her pocket.

    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?"

    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

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.

"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.

    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.
