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
Chris nodded. "I'll give you a lift back, Grandma.""There's no need. The driver's waiting for me downstairs. I'll go check on Laura first."Madam Jacobs waved her hand at Chris, stood up and walked out of the office.Chris walked Madam Jacobs to the entrance of the office building.She walked towards the convenience store. Before she reached the convenience store, she saw a familiar figure going in and out of the store. This caused her to be slightly taken aback.'Why is he here?' wondered Madam Jacobs.She walked towards Harry, reached out and grabbed his ear."I was wondering why you've disappeared recently. Are you here to disturb Laura?"Madam Jacobs knew that Harry was pursuing Shannon, but she felt that he shouldn't disturb Laura."Ouch, Grandma. Let's go easy on the ear. My wife is still here, please don't embarrass me," cried Harry.When Shannon heard the noise, she looked in Harry's direction. That was when she saw Madam Jacobs pinching Harry. This caused her to be
Madam Jacobs stayed at the convenience store for a while. She wanted to help out, but none of them let her.If she stayed the three of them would also need to take care of her as well. , Madam Jacobs felt a little helpless and decided to head back home. before she left, Madam Jacobs turned and said to Laura and Shannon, "You definitely need to come over to my house this weekend. I'll cook something good for you."The two of them nodded in agreement.Harry looked at Madam Jacobs from the side. "Grandma, why aren't you asking me to come over this weekend?"Harry felt like he was being left out. Madam Jacobs didn't even talk to him very much today. She didn't even look at him.Madam Jacobs rolled her eyes at Harry. "I just need Laura and Shannon. You can be wherever you want."After saying that, Madam Jacobs turned around and left.Madam Jacobs was on her way back home when Sir Wayne called, but she just glanced at her phone and decided not to answer.She only answered her phone
When Nicole walked into the office, Sir Wayne was sitting behind his desk."What is it, Grandpa?"Nicole looked around in an attempt to find a chair, but the only chair in the room was the one that Sir Wayne was sitting on.Nicole had no choice but to stand and gave Sir Wayne a puzzled look.Sir Wayne put down the pen in his hand and raised his head to look at the granddaughter he had adopted. "You're here."Nicole nodded. " Grandpa. Why have you asked me to come here?"Sir Wayne had an indifferent look on his face, so Nicole couldn't tell what he was thinking."Do you have enough money to spend recently?" asked Sir Wayne.'Does this old man want to give me money?' wondered Nicole.No one would feel that they had enough money and Nicole was no exception.She thought about it and said, "I have enough money to live off, but I don't have enough money to buy the bags that I want...""How much are the bags?"After hearing Sir Wayne's question, Nicole was even more confident that
"Grandpa, what's the meaning of this? Do you not believe me? Other elders always trusted their children and handed control of the company to them quite early on. But do you think you can suspend me using just a transaction order?""This is for your own good, Nicole.""For my own good? Is that why you've suspended me from coming to the company to work?""I'll make sure you have enough money to spend."Nicole was unable to handle all the twists and turns in business yet."You're right. You will make sure that I have enough money to spend. But it's only just enough for me to survive. You only give me 40 thousand dollars a month. What's that enough for? All my friends of hundreds of thousands of dollars each month. Now, I can't hang out with them, because they'll laugh at me. If you can't give me enough money, why did you adopt me?"Nicole picked up the glass that Sir Wayne placed on the desk and threw it on the floor. She then turned on her heels and walked out of the office. She al
It took a week before Laura was able to re-open her convenience store.On the day of the re-opening, Luke even brought some gifts for Laura."I had to move mountains to get you these gifts, Laura. Grandma helped me with them as well."Luke placed the gifts on the counter.Laura nodded. "How's Grandma lately? I'm planning on taking her to the hospital for a checkup soon.""She's much more energetic now and feeling better than ever."Luke didn't stay for too long.He had found a job recently and was just passing by Laura's convenience store. After giving her the gifts, he headed off to work.Meanwhile, in the Holland family.The first thing that Jessica did after she woke up was to look at her phone. She only saw a few push notifications and nothing else.Jennifer opened the bedroom door and walked inside. Seeing the state of Jessica, she asked, "It's been over a week and Luke still hasn't contacted you?"Jessica hesitated but still nodded in the end.This had never happened
"I asked her a few times to seduce Luke, but she didn't succeed. Luke still remained very loyal towards me," said Jessica.Deep down, Jessica trusted Luke, but Jennifer had a different thought.After all, she was quite a lot older than Jessica.Jennifer looked at the pictures that Lena had taken and said, "Don't be so confident about men."She knew that Jessica wasn't as good-looking as Lena."The thing I'm worried about right now is that Lena is having plans of her own. We were the ones who asked her to seduce Luke, but I'm afraid that she might have her own plans and want to replace you."A ruthless look appeared on Jennifer's face."She won't dare!" Jessica widened her eyes. "Who does she think she is? How dare she want to replace me?"Jessica sneered. "Even if she wants to replace me, Luke won't agree to it.""Then tell me why hasn't Luke called you over the past week? He didn't even text you. Is that normal at all? Think about it. Lena has been living with the Walker fami
