At that moment, Chris opened the bedroom door and walked inside."You're awake?""Yep." Laura nodded and decided not to sleep in.It seemed that Chris really liked to pat Laura on the head. He walked over and patted Laura on the head again. "I've made breakfast. It's on the table. I need to head off to my office in a bit.""Okay." Laura nodded.Ever since the misunderstanding was resolved, Laura had been in a good mood.After breakfast, Chris went to the door and changed his shoes. Laura walked over and passed him a lunchbox."I've prepared some fruit for you in here. You can have some when you have time."Chris took the lunchbox. "Thank you, honey." he didn't leave after saying those words.Laura gave him a puzzled look. That was when Chris reached out and pointed to his own face.Laura immediately understood what Chris meant and felt a little embarrassed."Honey..." Chris put on a pitiful look.Laura went on her tiptoes and kissed Chris on the cheeks."Off you go."Ch
Nicole walked into the Jacobs Group.She had previously worked at the Jacobs Group, so the receptionist recognized her. When the receptionist saw Nicole walking in, she was slightly taken aback.Nicole smiled and passed her business card over. "I'm the representative from the Jacobs Group. I'm here today to discuss something with your CEO. Please make the arrangements for me, thank you."The receptionist was surprised. She then took the business card for a closer look.Nicole was very satisfied with the look on the receptionist's face. Her lips curved from ear to ear. "I worked here in the past because I wanted to gain some experience. Now, I've returned to my own company."Deep down, the receptionist felt Nicole was a very lucky girl. She then said, "Miss Wayne, please wait on the sofa. I'll go and ask Mr. Jacobs."Nicole nodded. "Okay. I'll wait for you here. You can give him a call and ask."The receptionist quickly made a call. She talked to the person on the phone for a whi
"Sure!"The smile on Nicole's face made Mr. Leech's heart race."Then I'll see you out, Miss Wayne."Mr. Leech walked over and when he came close to Nicole, his body "accidentally" came in contact with Nicole's.Nicole felt Mr. Leech's body, but because she still needed Mr. Leech to do her a favor, she forced herself to calm down.Mr. Leech saw Nicole out of the building and watched as she got into her car. He waved at her with a smile and his voice sounded like he was unwilling to let Nicole leave. "Miss Wayne, you are welcome to visit us more often.""Thank you, Mr. Leech." Nicole nodded.After Nicole got into the car, the smile on her face disappeared."Disgusting!" she cursed and took out a piece of tissue to wipe her hand.'If it weren't for Laura, I wouldn't need to ask that disgusting man for a favor! This is all Laura's fault! I'll make her pay for all of this!" Nicole exclaimed inwardly.At the entrance of the Jacobs Group's entrance. Mr. Leech only looked away after
Mr. Leech smiled and said sarcastically, "Call the police? Would you dare? If you do that, then you'll be going against the whole Jacobs Group. You know the Jacobs Group, right? Do you think you can offend the Jacobs Group?"Mr. Leech took a whiff of the cigarette and puffed the smoke on Shannon's face. He then threw the cigarette end on the ground and stepped on it.Shannon began coughing because of the smoke."From today onwards, you will no longer be renting this store. If you know your place, you'd better get lost. Otherwise, the Jacobs Group will make sure that you can't survive in this city!"Since Mr. Leech dared to hire men to wreck the store, then he obviously wouldn't be worried about anything.He felt that no one would dare to go against the Jacobs Group."Laura..." Shannon stood beside Laura and didn't know what to do.'That guy's so mean. He not only got people to wreck our store, but also threatened us!' Shannon exclaimed inwardly."Did Nicole tell you to do this?
Mr. Leech walked over to Chris with a smile on his face, but Chris grabbed his tie forcefully."How dare you?" Chris had a dark face and was looking at Mr. Leech with a pair of cold eyes. The atmosphere in the room was really tense.Mr. Leech had never seen Chris like this and was completely dumbfounded."Mr... Mr. Jacobs... have I done something wrong?"Mr. Leech's legs were trembling and he couldn't even talk properly."Were you the one who wrecked the convenience store downstairs?" Chris's voice was dangerous.Mr. Leech didn't notice anything wrong and nodded his head honestly. "Yes... The owner of the convenience store has taken Miss Wayne's business and the Jacobs Group is her business partner, so I thought I'd do her a favor... Mr. Jacobs, have I done something wrong? Have I not done enough? Do you want me to beat the owner of the store up for Miss Wayne? If that's so, I'll be on it right now. I've long wanted to teach the two girls a lesson..."Before Mr. Leech could fini
Mr. Leech had no idea how long he had been sitting on the floor. In the end, he gritted his teeth and climbed off the ground.He took out his phone, found a contact and made a call. However, no one answered.Mr. Leech didn't give up and continued to call this number. Still, no one answered.The phone was then finally answered after countless attempts."Hello, Mr. Leech. What is it?" Nicole's impatient sounded on the other end of the line.'This Mr. Leech is so annoying! I've only asked for a small favor from him and now he keeps on bugging me with phone calls! That's really disgusting!' thought Nicole.After being in a company like the Jacobs Group for so many years, Mr. Leech could tell the mood that Nicole was in by her voice.He wanted to bend Nicole over, but those thoughts were nothing compared to the law.He felt that he was still young and he didn't want to go to jail."Nicole, when we just started cooperating at first, you accepted the money I gave you to keep me cover
Chris rubbed her head and said, "That Mr. Leech and Nicole were responsible for the same project and that's how the two of them knew each other. Don't worry. I'll get him to pay you for all your losses. I'll make him pay for what he's done."Laura knew that Chris meant Mr. Leech when he saw "he"."Would that affect your career?" Laura asked what she was worried about.Chris was a little taken aback and then sighed. "No, silly. It won't affect my career at all. It's his fault from the start."Chris had been wondering why Laura didn't fight back after someone had bullied her. He knew Laura all too well. He knew that Laura wouldn't bully others, but she wouldn't let anyone bully her either.Now, he knew the reason why Laura didn't fight back. She was worried that it would affect him.Chris moved his lips. It seemed that he wanted to say something, but in the end, no words came out.He had thought about telling Laura that he was the person in control of the Jacobs Group, but he was
Sir Wayne immediately tried to contact Chris, but Chris didn't answer. He had no choice but to ring Madam Jacobs.Madam Jacobs squinted her eyes. "I don't know anything about the company's matters. Has the Wayne Group done something bad? Otherwise, Chris wouldn't have terminated all cooperation with the Wayne Group."As a relative, Chris had helped the Wayne Group out quite a lot."I have no clue, Taylor. Please can you ask Chris for me?" asked Sir Wayne.He was really desperate. The projects would not be able to continue without the Jacobs Group.Even if they were able to find a new partner, the efficiency would decrease quite a lot."Please, Taylor. Can you ask Chris for me?"Sir Wayne was her brother, after all, Madam Jacobs also wanted to know why the cooperation with the Wayne Group was suddenly terminated.She called Chris, but it was Assistant Jacobs who answered."Hello, Madam Jacobs.""Hi, can you tell me what's Chris doing right now?""Mr. Jacobs is in a meeting at
