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
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
