Shannon might have said that she didn't want Harry to follow her, but when Harry still followed behind her, she didn't say anything. Truthfully speaking, Shannon had nothing against Harry following her around.Laura noticed this and couldn't help but shake her head with a smile.After Laura turned off the lights of the convenience store and walked out, she saw Chris coming out of the Jacobs Group."How are you feeling?"Laura knew that Chris was asking her about her period.She then shook her head. "I'm feeling much better.""Okay." Chris nodded and reached out to hold Laura's hand as he walked forward.Laura lowered her head a little, but didn't resist at all. She felt that she was getting more and more used to the intimate action between her and Chris.It was her day off the next day, but Chris still had to go to work.Laura received a call from Shona."I'm taking your grandma and Cola to the hospital so that Cola can have a check-up. It's inconvenient for me to take an eld
"What? They want to live there for a couple of months?" Shona raised her voice.'How can the Holland family be so shameless? Why don't they just ask us to give them the house? They even want to live there for a couple of months as well! They really know no shame!' she exclaimed inwardly.When Jessica heard what Shona said, she felt dissatisfied and furrowed her brows. "Mom, what are you talking about? What's wrong with my brother living at my house? Can't I take care of my brother?""Were you the one who bought the house?" Shona snorted. "Did the Holland family spend any money towards the house? Didn't we pay for the house? How dare you give the house to your brother?""Luke, what is your mom talking about? I'm married to you and your family still doesn't think we're one family? Am I not part of your family?"Jessica grabbed a glass and then threw it to the ground forcefully.The glass shattered into pieces.Jessica's face was pale due to anger."Don't get her wrong, Jessica. T
Luke looked away and went back into the house.He and Jessica had brought most of their things. Jessica was sitting on the sofa and eating snacks whilst playing on her phone. Meanwhile, Luke began unpacking their luggage.Shona held Cola in her hands as she watched what was happening. Such a sight made Shona infuriated, but felt helpless.At that moment, she was angry and wondered why she allowed such a woman to marry Luke.Jessica only cared about her family. Shona was afraid that Jessica was going to take everything away from the Walker family.However, there was nothing she could do about it. Luke was protecting Jessica, so there was nothing she could do about it.Shona took a deep breath and decided to take Cola back to her room, so that she wouldn't feel annoyed.Jessica was watching videos on her phone when her phone vibrated. A message notification popped up at the top of the screen.She squinted her eyes and looked in Luke's direction before tapping on the message notif
The man's eyebrows looked especially like Cola's.Laura had also seen the man before.It was the man Laura saw at the shopping center with Jessica.Jessica said that the man was her cousin.However, seeing what was happening at the moment and the similar looks of Cola and the man, Laura understood everything.Laura originally didn't want to stick her nose into other people's business, but considering that the whole Walker family loved this "grandson", especially Linda, Laura didn't want them to be kept in the dark about such things.She made a video call to Luke and aimed the camera at the cafe. She then said, "I want you to open your eyes about your own matters. Don't let everything be excited for nothing and only realize everything was a lie when it's too late."When Luke saw what was happening, his whole body seemed to be frozen."Where are they?"He tried his best to find his voice. He also couldn't help but clench his fists.Laura gave Luke the address and then left. She
Jessica felt a little puzzled. She didn't know why Jennifer wanted to go for a meal at the Walker family's house all of a sudden.However, what she did know, was that Jennifer's phone call solved Jessica's current problem.Jessica looked nervously at Luke and asked, "Luke, how about we head home with my cousin first?"In the past, Jessica could guess what Luke was about to say, but now, she couldn't.Luke's lips curved a little. "Okay. Let's take your cousin back home with us."Luke emphasized the word "cousin".The three of them set off towards the Walker family. No one saw Jennifer, who was hiding around a corner and breathing a sigh of relief as she patted her chest.She was terrified just now.She didn't expect Luke to see Jessica with Tristan.Jennifer had just walked out of the supermarket when she saw such a scene.She knew something wasn't right and immediately gave her daughter a call.Jessica was very nervous on the way back to the Walker family's house.She looke
Just when Shona was feeling puzzled, Jennifer said with a smile, "I have to admit, a lot of people say that nephews look like their uncles, that's quite true. Cola looks quite like Tristan."Jennifer also tried to make herself sound surprised.After giving it some thought, Shona felt Jennifer had a point.After all, some nephews did look like their uncles instead of their parents.Jennifer and Jessica saw that Shona was no longer looking at Tristan, they exchanged glances and both breathed a sigh of relief inwardly."Luke, I remember you love prawns. Here you go."Jessica was taking the initiative to put food on Luke's plate.Seeing this, Tristan said, "Looks like Jessica and Luke are really in love with each other. Here, I propose a toast, Luke."Tristan raised his glass at Luke.Jessica also looked at Luke with expectant eyes.When she saw Luke raising his glass as well, Jessica finally felt relieved. 'It seems that Luke isn't suspecting anything anymore. Well, it's true th
Laura sent another message saying okay. After doing so, she went back to watering the flowers.On the morning of the next day.Chris still went to work. Laura still had nothing to do and was planning on paying Madam Jacobs a visit.As soon as Laura reached the door, she saw a familiar figure.It was Nicole. She had been released.Nicole was talking to Sir Wayne when Laura arrived. When Laura saw Nicole, Nicole just happened to see Laura as well.As soon as Nicole saw Laura, her eyes darkened.She hadn't forgotten who was it that sent her behind bars.If it weren't for this in front of her, she wouldn't have been locked in the detention center for two weeks. This caused her to be behind bars even for the New Year.Nicole had to take a deep breath in order to calm herself down.She curved her lips into a smile and said to Laura, "Laura, you're back."Sir Wayne watched as Nicole said hello to Laura. He then nodded in satisfaction. 'It seems that Nicole has changed a lot after s
Nicole squeezed her own hand and continued, "Grandaunt, I came to Empfield because I wanted to gain some experience at the Jacobs Group, but I've thought about it. I can gain experience anywhere, so I've decided to head back to our own company and start from the bottom. I'll also let other employees treat me as a normal employee as well and ignore my background."She deliberately emphasized the words "our own company" and then looked at Laura with a proud expression on her face. 'This is only a member of staff at a convenience store and I'm the successor of a large corporation! She's nowhere near as good as me! Chris might not look down on her for now, but that doesn't mean he won't in the future!'Nicole's eyes flashed. She was determined to get total control of the Wayne Group this time.After that, she would employ Chris to work for her. She was confident that Chris wouldn't refuse the wealth.A flash of determination appeared in Nicole's eyes.Nicole and Sir Wayne left in the
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
