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
'What kind of logic is that? Can't he use some tissue to wipe the milk from his lips?' Laura exclaimed inwardly.She glared at Chris with red eyes and then stood up from his lap. She left the room as if escaping from somewhere dangerous.Chris chuckled when he saw the state of Laura. 'She really can't take any teasing at all.'After leaving Chris's bedroom, Laura quickly went to the kitchen. She washed the glass quickly and then went back to her room.She closed the door and leaned against it. Her face was still red. She reached out, touched her lips, and recalled what just happened in disbelief.Chris had just kissed her. It was her first kiss as well. Laura didn't feel like she wanted to resist.She bit her lip and felt a little embarrassed.Since she decided to live with Chris and carry on the marriage, then the two of them would probably have children in the future. It was normal for such things to happen.Laura tried to convince herself as she lay on the bed. the though
The man continued speaking on the other end of the line, but Jessica already looked horrified.She had thought that Luke was no longer suspicious, but she didn't expect Luke to still be suspicious after what happened. She didn't even know when Luke had acquired Tristan's hair."Jessica, are you listening?""Huh? I'm listening." Jessica forced herself to calm down. "I know about this. The two strands of hair belong to my brother and his child. Luke's doing him a favor. Sorry for the misunderstanding.""I see. You've scared me there. I thought Luke had cheated on you. I do apologize."" I think Luke's given you the wrong strand of hair. The one that belonged to the adult is the wrong one. It's hard to tell the difference if you don't look closely. After all, strands of hair do look very similar. I've just realized that the adult's hair still is still at home. Where are you, is it convenient if I bring the hair to you?""Sure. I'm at the hospital in the center of the city. I'm on t
Jessica took a deep breath to force herself to calm down.She wanted to criticize Luke, but didn't know what to say.The paternity test result came out three days later.When Luke received the report and looked at the result, it showed that the two people weren't related. His eyes widened in shock. 'Could it be that I've misunderstood Jessica?'Luke's mind became a mess.Cola and Tristan did look alike. Plus the intimate actions between Jessica and Tristan, everything made Luke feel unusual. the paternity test showed that Cola and Tristan weren't related by blood. This caused Luke to feel lost. He took a picture of the result and sent it to Laura."Laura, I've got the result. Tristan and Cola aren't related."Laura was a little taken aback when she saw Luke's message. "Isn't that good news?"She felt that she made a mistake."But I keep getting the feeling that something's wrong. My instincts tell me that the child doesn't belong to me." Luke tightened his grip around his ph
"Shannon, what do you mean nonsense? Your aunt said that you're my wife and I came all the way from Springmount to Empfield for you. My family even gave your aunt 20 thousand dollars as your bride price! You're now my fiance! Who's this guy? How dare you betray me?"The aunt that Jamie was talking about was Lauren.Shannon became infuriated and shouted angrily, "Who does she think she is? Is she my mom or my dad? How dare she stick her nose into my marriage? If you want to find a wife, go talk to May. Stop bothering me!"Lauren just had to cause trouble for Shannon. Even Shannon didn't expect Lauren to accept 20 thousand dollars from others and agree for Shannon to marry Jamie.Shannon knew that her parents would definitely not know about this matter."I don't care. Shannon, your family accepted my money, so you must come with me today! I don't want May, I only want you!"May was nowhere near as good-looking as Shannon. Besides, May was already engaged.Harry finally knew what w
Chris's eyes darkened and could roughly guess what happened."Okay, I'm aware," said Chris.Assistant Jacobs nodded and didn't say anything else.As for Chris, he chose to send Laura a message on WhatsApp. "Luke went to do a paternity test?"Laura was at the counter in the convenience store. She had nothing to do when she received Chris's WhatsApp message. "Yes. How did you know?"Chris told Laura about what Assistant Jacobs saw.Laura's eyes widened when she read the message. 'No wonder the result shows that the child had no relations to the father.' Laura felt a little puzzled. "How did your colleague know Luke?""My colleague is your frequent customer."After reading the message, Laura understood why Chris's colleague knew Luke.Luke had come to her convenience store many times. Chris's colleague must have seen him in the past."Thank your colleague for me."With that, Laura then went and told Luke about this matter.About half an hour later, Luke sent his reply. "Are
It had been a long time since Luke had eaten at the same table as Laura. He had also not eaten food cooked by Laura for a long time either."Laura, it's been ages since I've eaten food cooked by you. You're still really good at cooking!" Luke complimented Laura."I remember when we were little, our parents weren't home and there would only be the two of us. You're always the one who did the cooking." Luke missed the times when they were young.Laura smiled in response.After dinner, Luke went back home.Jessica was sitting on the sofa with Cola in her arms. When she saw Luke, she asked, "Where did you go? Why didn't you answer my calls?""I went to take out the trash and bumped into a friend, so we chatted for a while. My phone had run out of battery, I didn't couldn't take any calls."Luke was lying, but his voice was indifferent and calm.When Jessica heard those words, she frowned. 'Why does this reason sound so familiar?'In order for Jessica to not suspect anything, Luke
Jessica felt a little more relaxed after hearing what Jennifer had said. "Okay.""But, what's your situation, Jessica? Is Tristan going to take you with him or not? You can't just go on like this. You own half of the house at the moment and the car's under your name as well. If you get a divorce now, you will get a significant amount of money.""He's going to come for me, Mom. Tristan told me to pick out some of the things that Luke has done wrong. That way, I'll get more money when we get the divorce.""What does he mean by that?""Get him to cheat on me."Jennifer immediately understood what Jessica meant."But it's not easy for Luke to do so considering his feelings for you." Jennifer sighed.After all, Luke treated Jessica very well. After the child was born, it was Luke and Shona who were taking care of the child. Jessica didn't have to do anything.Luke treated the members of the Holland family very well as well. Plus the fact that the Walker family was quite wealthy as w
