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
Looking at the expression on Lena's face, Jessica felt a little suspicious. "Really?""Really!" Lena kept on nodding her head.In order to convince Jessica even more, Lena walked behind her and began massaging her shoulders with an earnest face.Lena's actions caused Jessica to not be able to see anything wrong with her."How are things going? Did you succeed?"Lena shook her head. "Not yet.""Alright, you can stop the massage now."When Jessica heard that Lena hadn't succeeded, she felt annoyed and happy at the same time. At least she knew that Luke still only loved her during the week that she was away."I'll give you another week. If you can't succeed by then, I'll get someone else to do it!""Okay. I'll try my best." Lena had a smile on her face, but her heart sank.'It seems that I need to speed things up,' she thought.In the afternoon.When Laura was going through the accounts of the store, a familiar face walked in."Are you busy, Laura?" Lena walked into the conve
However, it didn't matter what position Chris was in. All Lena needed was that he was an employee of the Jacobs Group."Does Chris know any senior executives of the Jacobs Group? Or can he pretend to be a senior executive?" asked Lena as she observed Laura's reaction."The man that Jessica's on Luke with is called Tristan. His family runs a small company. Before Tristan took control, the company was able to make some money, but things changed when Tristan took over. He doesn't know how to run a company at all. He's also a playboy. Only Jessica was foolish enough to believe him."Lena's voice became disdainful when she said those words."From what I know, Tristan's company is going to be bankrupt soon. He's recently been trying to find a way to solve this crisis. I was wondering if Chris could do me a favor. It's best if he knows a senior executive of the Jacobs Group. If not, then can he pretend to be a senior executive and do some business with him? Doing business would require mo
