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
"Philip, what brought you here?" Lauren's face changed when she saw Jamie's father, Philip Lark, at the door."What? Am I not welcome?" Philip sneered, pushed the door open and walked into the house.Lauren didn't want Philip to be here, but she felt a little guilty after remembering that Jamie was still being detained.A smile appeared on Lauren's face as she walked towards Philip. She then poured a glass of water for him. "That's nonsense. Why wouldn't you be welcomed here, Philip? Here, have some water."Philip didn't take the water from Lauren. He went straight to the point. "I'm here because of two things. Number one, give me back the money that my son has given you. Number two, tell Shannon to write a letter of understanding for my son and get him released.""Philip, about the money, do you think..."Lauren knew that Philip was here for the money, but she didn't want to spit the money back out a second time."Philip, we've been putting a lot of effort into this matter as w
Philip sneered. "That's none of my business. I'm only going to give you three days to complete the second task. If Shannon doesn't write the letter of understanding for my son in three days, then you're going to have to bear the consequences yourself."With that said, Philip left the house with a cold face.That was when Lauren realized that Westley had returned. His face was darker than ever. He had heard everything that Philip had said."Look at what you've done!" he shouted angrily."What do you mean look at what I've done? What have I done? I only wanted to make some money. What have I done wrong?" Lauren also shouted back angrily. She then blamed everything on Westley. "This is all because of you. If it weren't for the fact that you're a useless piece of shit and couldn't make any money May and I wouldn't have to live this horrible life. If you had been able to make enough money, why would I have to take such a risk? I'm doing this all because of you! It's all because of you!"
Shannon couldn't help but laugh angrily. She knew that Lauren was a shameless person, but didn't expect her to go this far.Lauren and Jamie teamed up to set Shannon up in an attempt to rape her, but now Lauren was calling her to ask her to write a letter of understanding to get Jamie out of prison.Shannon wondered if Lauren was feeling okay.Laura's lips also twitched when she heard Lauren's words. It was true that she hadn't seen such a shameless person.Shannon didn't waste any more time with Lauren and hung up the phone. She then blacklisted Lauren's new number as well. "It's a waste of my time talking to her."After hanging up, Shannon threw her phone to one side before continuing to take care of things in the store with Laura.Afraid that Lauren would call her again, Shannon switched her phone to silent.What Shannon didn't expect was that when she looked at her phone after getting off work, a tone of messages popped up."Shannon, you heartless bastard! Did the Leonard f
When Shannon saw the video, her face turned red with anger.Laura was rendered speechless by what Lauren was doing as well. She felt that Lauren was even more shameless than she had expected.Shannon was still texting her cousin. From her cousin, she found out that Lauren had talked to most of the Leonard family's relatives.Lauren deliberately slandered Shannon in front of the relatives and plus the fact that Shannon wasn't there, most of the relatives believed what Lauren had said. Especially most of the elders who were very stubborn. They felt that Lauren was Shannon's elder, even if Lauren had done something wrong, Shannon should still show some respect. They didn't like Shannon's attitude towards Lauren. They were also the ones who said the most nasty things about Shannon.After hearing what her cousin had said, Shannon took a deep breath to calm herself down."She wanted to you public opinion to force you to do what she wants."Laura poured a glass of water and passed it to
"Who are you?"It was a good thing that Shannon reacted quick enough and quickly dodged to one side. This caused Brenda to miss her.Laura quickly rushed over to Shannon and stood in front of her to protect her.Shannon looked at Brenda angrily. 'Who is she? I don't even know her. Why did she want to hit me as soon as she saw me?'"Who am I? I'm your elder!" Brenda sneered. "You ungrateful bastard. I'm your Aunt Lauren's mother! Technically speaking, you should be calling me Grandma."Shannon finally understood what was going on. The elderly woman in front of her was Lauren's mother and the other two must be Lauren's relatives as well."I'll take care of this, Laura." Shannon walked out from behind Laura.Laura looked at her and then nodded, but she still looked at Brenda alarmingly in case she wanted to hit Shannon again."Well... what can I say? Like mother like daughter!" Shannon snorted and looked at Brenda. She wasn't being polite at all. "Your daughter's disgusting and so
Brenda sat on the ground and cried with her eyes closed. However, she suddenly felt everything had gone quiet around her.This made her feel a little confused. Why weren't Chantel and Alana crying anymore?When Brenda opened her eyes, she saw a few tall guards looking at her coldly.As for Chantel and Alana, the two of them were too scared to even make a sound.One of the guards put on a fake smile as he looked at Brenda. "Please continue. We have a lot of time to waste. Let's see how long you can keep this up."As the guard shadowed over Brenda, the other guards took out their tasers.This caused Brenda to break into a cold sweat.She was getting old and had been staying in the countryside, so she liked to take advantage of people using her age. However, she had never been in such a situation, so her face paled.Chantel and Alana quickly went over to help Brenda off the ground. The three of them suddenly became quiet and looked at each other. A short while later, they quickly
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
