Shannon was speaking quietly, so Mike didn't hear what she said.Laura didn't answer. She wrapped her arms around Shannon's and followed behind Mike as they walked forward.Mike introduced the sculptures around them to Laura and Shannon enthusiastically and told them where the inspiration came from.Laura and Shannon had planned on meeting Mike today, but they ended up lost in Mike's words.They had to admit that Mike was very talented."My two beautiful ladies, may I add you on WhatsApp?"At the end of the exhibition hall, Mike took out his phone from his pocket and wanted to add Laura and Shannon on WhatsApp.Laura and Shannon looked at each other and then nodded at Mike.After adding the two of them on WhatsApp, Mike saw the two of them out of the exhibition hall and waved goodbye.A mixture of feelings arose in Laura's heart.She felt that Mike was a very talented individual. Even she admired him a little from what they had talked about just now.Laura felt that it was n
Lena nodded in acknowledgement. "Okay, I'll do my best, Jessica."'I'll do my best to take your place,' Lena said inwardly.After dinner, Jessica and Lena looked at each other. Then Jessica found an excuse to take Linda, Shona, and Cola out.That meant there were only Lena and Luke left in the house.Luke had recently found a job. After dinner, he stayed in his room and was reading the documents that were required the following day.Lena knocked on the door and walked inside with a glass of milk."I've brought you a glass of milk, Luke." Lena smiled and walked up to Luke. She then raised her hand and caressed her hair.However, Luke didn't even look at her. He kept his head down and said, "Thank you, but I'll pass. You can keep it for yourself."Lena didn't move after hearing Luke's reply. Instead, she placed the glass of milk on Luke's desk.She kept her eyes on Luke's face. The more she looked at him, the more she liked him.Luke's appearance really suited her taste. Not on
Luke was rendered speechless."What are your thoughts on this?" Laura asked.She felt that Lena had developed feelings for Luke and wanted to replace Jessica. This meant that she wouldn't let Jessica get a share of the Walker family's assets."I don't have any feelings for her." Luke typed his reply.It was inappropriate for Laura to get involved in this matter. After all, she hadn't met Lena. Besides, this matter was about love and only Luke could make the decision himself."You're going to have to make the decision yourself. However, you do still have to keep your guard up to prevent Lena from testing you."Luke knew what Laura meant.After all, Lena and Jessica were cousins. It was possible that Jessica asked Lena to test Luke to see if he was still suspicious whether Cola was his child or not.What Luke needed to do now was to alert the enemy.In the evening, Jessica and the others came back home.As soon as Jessica came back home, she looked at Lena. Lena shook her head.
"If there's proof to prove that Jessica married you only for the money, car, and house, then it'll be easy to sue her. We can sue her for fraud, but we don't have any proof right now. Even if Cola isn't your child, he is still the child Jessica was pregnant with during the time when the two of you were together. The child might not be yours, but that could only prove she cheated on you. It couldn't prove that she had committed fraud. The only thing we can do now is to get the paternity test and then think of a way to let Jessica change the car and house to your name or get the equivalent in cash. This is to transfer your assets. That way, Jessica won't be able to get anything when you sue her and file a divorce." Lena's lips curved into a sneer.The truth was that she really did feel sorry for Luke.He treated Jessica really well. As for Jessica, she not only didn't treasure him, but also wanted to commit fraud as well.Therefore, Lena made up her mind that she would treasure what J
Laura felt a little sad and didn't want to talk to Chris.She put down her phone and rolled over so that she had her back to Chris.Chris looked at Laura and didn't know what was wrong with her.When he went into the bathroom for a shower, Chris seemed to have thought of something and took out his phone from his pocket. After that, he went on Google."Why is my wife unhappy all of a sudden recently?" Chris typed his question in the search box.Google then popped up with countless results. One of them said that the wife might be in her period and it caused her to be quite emotional.Chris thought about it and felt that it was a possibility.He placed his phone back into his pocket and then went to buy some tampons.When he got back home, he gave Laura the tampons.This caused Laura to be confused."Why are you giving me tampons?" Laura didn't know why Chris was doing such a thing."Would this help with your periods?" asked Chris.Laura widened her eyes in shock. "Why told I
Although no one said that women couldn't smoke, it was still rare to see a woman smoke."No wonder she has good looks, but her voice isn't so great. It's probably because she smokes." Shannon pouted her lips.Shannon didn't really have a good impression of Mike. She even found Mike a little disgusting.After all, she thought Mike was a homewrecker.Laura remained silent. She lowered her head and looked at her phone. That was when she saw a message from the owner of the convenience store."I'm going to hold the annual summary meeting in three days' time. The meeting will be held in Brosland.""What's an annual summary?" Shannon was a little confused.Laura explained what an annual summary was to Shannon.Their convenience store was a national chain. They would hold an annual summary every year and reward the employees of the top 10 stores.Shannon's eyes lit up when she heard such news. "Will we have hope to become one of the top 10, Laura?"Laura thought about it and said, "W
Laura also felt puzzled.The owner held the microphone in his hand and asked, "Are there any questions? Please raise your hand."Laura raised her hand, but the owner glanced at her and then ignored her. He then picked someone else.Laura waited patiently, but the owner kept on ignoring her."Are there any more questions? If not, we'll proceed to the next stage."Laura still had her hand held up high and she even exchanged glances with the owner, but he still ignored her.She then stood up and said, "Sir, I have a question."The room was relatively quiet. As soon as Laura spoke, everyone looked at her.The owner, who was standing at the front frowned. He then held the microphone and said, "We'll talk about your question later on. We're about to proceed to the next stage. Let's not waste time."If Laura had been unsure earlier on, then she was now 100% sure. The owner was deliberately making things difficult for her.Shannon stood up as well. "Sir, what's the meaning of this? Y
"That's right. Who she is has nothing to do with us. We're just ordinary employees. However, the two girls who stood up to Bruce were quite good-looking."The employees continued to discuss amongst themselves.Nicole turned and looked at Laura. She then said, "During this annual summary meeting, I'm going to mobilize some staff. Rewards and punishments should be equal. Only then can we motivate everyone to do their best."As soon as Nicole said that, everyone in the room quietened down."For the employees of the top 10 stores mentioned, we'll reward them with 1,000 dollars each.""What? 1,000 dollars? The reward was only 400 dollars in the past.""Miss Wayne is so generous. She's actually rewarding people with 1,000 dollars each. I'm so jealous. Our store missed the top 10 by an inch.""Well, looks like we'll have to work hard next year. That's 1,000 dollars each we're talking about here.""Miss Wayne's so generous. I like her!"Listening to the compliments, a satisfied smile
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
