Shannon continued to struggle, but to no avail.The more she struggled, the more excited Jamie became.However, due to the intense struggle, Shannon felt more and more uncomfortable. This was because her mouth was sealed and her arms and legs were tied up.Shannon suddenly found it difficult to breathe and her face turned red.Seeing this, Jamie's heart skipped a beat. "What's wrong?""Mmm!"Looking at the state of Shannon, Jamie hesitated, but still removed the sellotape from Shannon's mouth."Fuck! That hurts!"Jamie didn't know what he was doing. He used too much force to remove the sellotape and it caused a lot of pain."You bastard! Were you trying to suffocate me?" cursed Shannon.Jamie was unhappy about what Shannon had said, but when he thought of what he was going to do with Shannon later on, he chose to not curse her back. Instead, he sneered. "If you behave yourself and satisfy me, I wouldn't have tied you up. The pain was caused by your disobedience."Shannon gri
When Jamie went to the convenience store and wanted to take Shannon away with him, it was Harry who prevented that from happening.Jamie could still remember what happened. The man had kicked him that day. He could still remember how painful the kick was."Why did you bring him up? I'll get him back for his kick sooner or later!""Nothing. I just want to tell you that he's my boyfriend. We've been going out for quite a long time. He's handsome and kind, but when we went to the hospital for a checkup, I was told that I was infertile. That's why we didn't have a wedding."Shannon had a calm expression on her face, but Jamie still didn't believe her.He gave Shannon a suspicious look. "Why do I get the feeling that you're lying to me?""Why would I lie to you? I'm telling the truth. Otherwise, why wouldn't I be worried about my handsome boyfriend being taken away from me? Think about it!" As Shannon said those words, she looked upset. "I have no one else to blame but myself. My boyf
Harry stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Shannon. He could see fear in Shannon's eyes.Jamie was lying on the ground twitching. Blood trickled down from his forehead.Harry threw the chair in his hands on the ground and walked towards Shannon."I'm sorry for scaring you, Shannon."Harry was still emitting a fierce aura. He reached out and wanted to untie Shannon, but she subconsciously backed away a little.This caused Harry to freeze for a split second. 'Is she scared of me?'Shannon seemed to have guessed what Harry was thinking and quickly said, "I'm not scared of you. Untie me."Harry nodded.His fingers were a little cold. When Shannon was untied, Harry took a step back.He had rushed over as fast as he could when he received Shannon's message. However, when he reached the restaurant, Shannon was nowhere to be found.There weren't any cameras around the restaurants. That caused Harry to be worried sick.It was a good thing that he asked all his friends to h
Harry tightly clenched his fists. At that moment, he seemed to want to head back to the hotel and murder Jamie."No..."After hearing Harry's words, Shannon suddenly understood something.She realized why Harry kept buying her milk powder for pregnant women.It was because he thought she was pregnant.Shannon didn't understand why Harry thought she was pregnant."Shannon, we're still young. We can have another child in the future, but I can't live without you."Harry liked children as well, but to him, Shannon was more important.The doctor also understood what was happening. His lips began to twitch."Don't worry. Miss Leonard is fine. The child's fine as well."Harry's eyes widened with joy.He was just about to say something when the doctor continued, "That's because Miss Leonard isn't pregnant at all. There isn't a child, so how could anything happen to the child?"Harry was at a loss for words.The expression on his face froze.Shannon couldn't help but laugh. "Who t
Harry gave Shannon a lift back home and went upstairs with her.Before they went in, they heard noises from inside the house."Where's my daughter? Give me back my daughter!"Ziva was desperate and tears trickled down her face.All she could remember was her daughter dragging her along. But a group of men stopped them around a corner.After that, she blacked out and didn't remember anything else.When she woke up again, she realized that she was lying on the bed at home. Lauren and May were in her room, but Shannon was nowhere to be seen.Ziva wanted to call Shannon, but her phone was taken away from her.She wanted to leave, but Lauren and May didn't let her either.By now, Ziva had finally realized what was going on.Lauren and May must have done something."Calm down, Ziva. There's nothing to worry about. Shannon will be fine. I just helped her to find a husband. Shannon is a grown-up now. Men might still be fine after they reach 30 years old, but not women. No man will w
After hearing that voice, Ziva's eyes lit up. "Shannon!"Lauren and May looked at each other and could see that they were both surprised.Shannon and Harry walked into the room. Ziva immediately rushed over and checked on Shannon. "Shannon, are you alright?"Looking at Ziva's red eyes, Shannon's heart ached. She quickly tried to comfort Ziva. "Mom, I'm fine. Don't worry. Nothing happened to me."Seeing that Shannon wasn't lying and that Harry was standing behind her, Ziva felt relieved.Shannon looked at Lauren and May. The disgust was evident in her eyes.When Lauren saw Shannon and Harry, she had a bad feeling about what was going to happen. She then thought of the call she just made to Jamie that wasn't answered. This made her panic."Shannon, how come you're back so quickly? Where's Jamie?" asked Lauren.'Has Jamie failed? How could this be? It took us a long time to prepare for today,' she thought."What? Do you want to meet him, Aunt Lauren?"Shannon led Ziva to the sof
Therefore, Shannon couldn't punish Lauren and May using the law.However, she wasn't just going to let them off.She decided to lock them up in the dark attic for a couple of days.Seeing what Shannon was doing, Ziva's lips moved. She seemed to want to say something, but when she thought of how the two of them had set Shannon up, in the end, she decided to not say anything."Who's this?" Ziva turned to Harry.Shannon didn't tell Ziva about the fact that she and Harry were dating. This was the first time that Ziva had met Harry."Mom, this is my boyfriend, Harry Jacobs. He's the one who saved me this time," said Shannon.Ziva had noticed Harry from the moment he entered the house. No mother-in-law would dislike a handsome son-in-law. Ziva was no exception.When she saw that Harry remained by Shannon's side, Ziva had already guessed his identity. Shannon's words proved that she was right. She then looked at Harry with a smile.Harry turned to Ziva and said, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Leon
"Shannon, I apologize to you on behalf of your aunt and cousin. They now know what they have done was wrong. They will never do such things again in the future."Westley was also mad at Lauren and May for what they had done. But they were his wife and daughter at all. He couldn't just leave them.Shannon pursed her lips after hearing those words.Lauren and May were annoying, but Westley had always treated her quite well.Since he had asked her to let them go, in the end, Shannon nodded."Thank you so much, Shannon. I promise you that I'll teach them a lesson when we get back. Such things will never happen in the future.""You can go to my house and pick them up then."It was still during working hours, so Shannon wasn't planning on going back home for them.Westley nodded. He then said goodbye to Shannon and left the store.Laura had been listening at the side. When Westley left, he looked at Shannon and asked, "What happened?"Shannon didn't want Laura to be worried, so she
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
