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
The person who rushed into the convenience store quickly waved at Laura and said, "Just let me hide in here for a bit, thanks."With that said, he turned around and hid behind the shelves.Laura was stunned when she looked behind the shelves.She felt the person that just rushed into the store looked like Mike. But he had short hair.'Has Mike gotten a haircut?' wondered Laura.Before Laura could get her mind around things, a gentle woman's voice sounded in the store. "Hello, have you seen a man come in here?"The young woman was wearing a leather skirt and had soft facial features.When the woman saw Laura, she was slightly taken aback.Laura smiled and said, "No. I didn't notice anyone coming in."A puzzled look appeared on Amelia Summers' face.She was sure that she saw Mike coming into the store. She looked around to make sure that Mike wasn't in the store."Thank you. Sorry for disturbing you." Amelia pursed her lips.After saying that, she turned around and left. Howe
Mike couldn't help but sigh."A daughter of the Summers family... don't they have a daughter?" asked Chris."Are you talking about Amelia Summers? She's adopted." The mention of Amelia's name gave Mike the shivers. "Mr. Summers was worried about his wife, so he adopted Amelia from an orphanage to keep Mrs. Summers company. The only thing was that Amelia wasn't related to them by blood. However, Amelia is a very lucky girl. She was adopted by the Summers family. I wish I could be adopted by the Summers family." Mike crossed his legs and swung around on the chair. One would be very lucky to be adopted by the Summers family.However, it was as if he had suddenly thought of something, Mike looked at Chris meaningfully. "Chris, are you keeping something from me?""I have a lot of things that I haven't told you. Do you want to know them all?" replied Chris without even raising his head.In order to give Chris a hint, Mike looked at him meaningfully."Are you having a spasm?" asked Chri
Mike acted as if he had heard something terrifying and quickly waved his hands at Amelia. "No! Don't!"He was truly terrified.'Can't this woman tell that I don't like her? I've made it pretty obvious. Why is she still following me around? She really knows no shame,' thought Mike.He couldn't help but feel annoyed. But when he thought of what his father would do to him, he had no choice but to sit there with Amelia. Mike seemed to have sensed something and looked around. He looked around and just happened to lock gazes with Laura and Chris.He acted as if he had seen his savior and quickly said, "Chris, you're here as well?"Mike walked over and sat next to Chris with his plate. "Well, Chris, how about we eat together?"He didn't want to face that woman anymore. He had enough of her.Amelia was taken aback as well when she saw Laura. the expression on her face returned to normal the next second. She picked up her cutlery and plate and walked over to Laura and Chris's table a
Amelia tilted her head and looked at Mike with a smile.She somehow got to know which hotel Mike lived in and she checked into the room next to his. Whenever Mike stepped out of his room, he would bump into Amelia.Mike had thought of switching to another hotel, but no matter where he went, Amelia would still be able to find him.In the end, Mike got tired and decided not to switch hotels.On the way back to the hotel, Amelia turned to Mike and asked, "Who were those two, Mike? Were they boyfriend and girlfriend?""What's that got to do with you? Mind your own business!" shouted Mike.After saying that, Mike quickened his pace and walked forward.Amelia immediately felt aggrieved and her eyes turned red. "Wait for me, Mike."She was just about to go after Mike when the phone in her bag began to ring.When Amelia saw the caller ID, her eyes lit up."Nathan!"When Mike heard Amelia's voice, he froze on the spot.The next second, he rushed over to Amelia's side.Amelia looked
