It was already getting late. Laura was prepared to take Linda and Jill out to get something to eat.The three of them went to a bakery for food. After they finished eating, Laura received a call from Chris."Where are you?" Chris's deep voice sounded on the other end of the line. "I've brought Grandma and Grandaunt out for dinner. Have you had anything to eat?""Not yet.""Do you want anything to eat? We're at a bakery. I can get something for you."Chris was driving. When he heard Laura's words, he hesitated before saying, "Okay."Getting something from a bakery would make do for dinner."Tell me where you are and I'll go pick you up.""Okay."Laura told Chris where she was on WhatsApp and then told Linda and Jill to take a seat and wait for Chris. She then went to choose something to eat for Chris according to his taste.By the time Chris arrived, Laura was already holding the food that she had chosen for him.The three of them got into the car and headed home.When they
Laura couldn't believe that Helen was willing to give up the child in her womb's body to set Madam Jacobs up."How can she be so ruthless..."As a woman, Laura might not have had a child, but as a woman, she was born to be a mother. She couldn't believe that Helen could do such a thing.She felt it was very terrifying."Where did you get this voice recording from?" asked Laura."I felt that something wasn't right about this, so I asked a private detective to look into it for me." Chris took a sip of tea.Laura immediately knew what happened.However, she had to admit that Chris was very smart.After all, she had really thought that everything had been an accident back then."What are you going to do next then?" asked Laura.A cold gaze flashed in Chris's eyes.Back then, Madam Jacobs told Chris to give Helen 1 million dollars. He had sworn that if he found out what happened wasn't an accident, he would make Helen pay for what she had done tenfold.Chris reached out and rubb
Lewis's lips moved and he finally said slowly, "I do..."After hearing the two words, Laura sneered. "Since you already know, why have you come to ask me to help her? What if the criminal seriously injured Grandma that day? What if Grandma was seriously hurt? Do you know that you're helping a tyrant? Your mother's the person who was hurt in this matter!"In the past, Laura had just felt that Lewis was just an irresponsible scumbag. But now, looking at Lewis, Laura really felt sorry for Madam Jacobs."I only just found out as well. If I had known about it before, I would have definitely prevented Helen from doing this." Lewis squatted down and grabbed his hair with his hands. There was a painful look on his face."But Helen did all that because she's in love with me. She just wants to be accepted by the Jacobs family. She didn't really want to hurt my mom.""Why does she want to be accepted by the Jacobs family?" Laura felt a little puzzled.According to what Madam Jacobs had said
"What money? You must have mistaken..."After hearing Sandra's words, the man in the cap avoided her eyes.He then took back his work badge from Sandra and ran off with his camera.Sandra didn't go after him. She looked at his receding figure and said indifferently, "If I see you doing this again, I'll see you at the police station."The man froze for a split second before running away at an even faster pace.Sandra turned back around and walked up to Laura and Lewis.Lewis was quite tall. Even though Sandra was wearing high heels, she was still quite a lot shorter than Lewis. However, that didn't mean she had a weaker temperament."Were you wanting to use public opinion to force Laura to do what you want?" Sandra sounded very confident."I don't know what you're talking about..." Lewis avoided Sandra's eyes.However, Laura realized what was going on.She had been wondering why Lewis suddenly knelt down in front of her. This was what he had in mind."You don't?" Sandra smile
Laura and Sandra walked into a cafe.The two of them made their orders and then sat opposite each other."Madam, thank you for what you've just done."Laura hadn't noticed that someone was taking creepshots back at the gates of the community.If Sandra hadn't shown up, Lewis's plan would have probably worked."It's fine." Sandra picked up the cup of coffee in front of her and took a sip. "If he comes looking for you in the future, you can just ignore him and leave."Laura nodded in acknowledgement.She didn't know what to talk about with the person in front of her. She wanted to treat Sandra to a coffee because she wanted to thank Sandra for what she did.Sandra didn't say anything else either.The two of them remained silent for a couple of minutes before Sandra finally broke the silence. "How did you and Chris get to know each other?"Laura didn't keep anything a secret and told Sandra everything about their marriage.She had thought that Sandra was going to furrow her bro
Laura then told Harry about what happened at the gates of the community that she lived in.When Harry finished listening to the whole story, he became infuriated. "How dare he ask for your help after what that woman did? Does Chris know about this?""He should be at work right now, so I haven't told him yet. I'm planning on telling him when he comes home tonight.""Laura, if you see him in the future, just walk around him and pretend he's not there. He really knows no shame!"Laura chuckled at those words.Harry's words were exactly identical to what Sandra had said."Well, I'll leave you to have your coffee here. I've got to go."It was getting late and shopping would take quite a lot of time, so Laura decided to not waste any more time."Wait, Laura." Harry stopped her.He chuckled at Laura and then took out a small gift box from his pocket."Laura, can you take a look at this for me and see if Shannon will like it?"When Laura opened the gift box, she saw a shiny bracelet
After arriving back home, Laura told Chris about what Lewis did in the afternoon.Looking at Laura's receding figure, Chris took out his phone and typed a message. "Send a few guards to secretly protect Laura in the future."Laura had no idea of any of Chris's arrangements. She was tidying her room a the moment.Time passed really quickly. Only three days were left before the New Year.The Jacobs Group gave its employees a few days off as well, but as the CEO, Chris was even busier at this time of the year.However, no matter how busy Chris was, he still made sure he had time to go with Laura to hand out the New Year's gifts.They first went to the Walker family. Laura bought some food and drinks for Madam Jacobs and gave Madam Jacobs some money.Only Linda was at the Walker family's house at the moment. Shona and Nicholas were at the hospital taking care of Luke. Luke was still hospitalized.After leaving the Walker family's house, Laura and Chris then went to visit Madam Jaco
Laura told Harry that Shannon wouldn't be in Empfield for her birthday.When Harry found out, he gave Shannon a video call straight away.The call was answered about 15 seconds later."Hello? What is it?""I..."Harry made the call because it was an act of impulse. When he saw the familiar face on the phone, he suddenly didn't know what to say."Are you going to talk or not? I'm hanging up.""Alright, alright. I'll talk." As soon as Harry heard that Shannon was going to hang up, he began to panic. He looked at where Shannon was and asked, "Where are you at the moment?""I'm in Springmount, not Empfield," Shannon said after a short pause."I... I know..."Harry suddenly wanted to slap himself.He had never been so nervous in his life. He would always be very nervous when he was faced with Shannon. He would begin to stutter and have no idea what to say."It's your birthday tomorrow, right, Shannon?""Yes.""I've prepared a gift and want to give it to you."Harry took a dee
