Alana saw that Carlos wasn't talking back to Brenda, she became confident as well. "My mom has a point. But since we're relatives, we can forgive your disrespect towards my mom. However, Shannon needs to do what we tell her. She needs to write a letter of consent and get Jamie out of jail. Not only that, we're hungry and we want some seafood. This is the first time that we've come to your house, you should go make the preparations right now and take care of us. We also want to stay around for a few days, do you have a car? Take us around for a few days. The three of us will also be staying at your house for the next few days as well. If you don't have enough rooms or beds, then you guys can sleep on the floor. We're guests and my mom is an elder, we should get the beds. You should prepare these things in advance and not wait for me to tell you, understood?"Shannon was rendered speechless. She really couldn't believe what she was hearing."Didn't you hear what my daughter said? Go!"
Lauren walked into the room from the outside with red eyes. As soon as she entered the room, she shouted, "Look at what your brother has done! How dare he send my mom and my sister behind bars! Does he know what he has done?"When Lauren received the call from the police, she immediately exploded with anger.She didn't expect her mom to be sent behind bars just because her mom went to find Shannon to ask for a letter of understanding.Lauren knew that her mom would definitely suffer behind bars."I don't care what you think, but you'll definitely have to come with me to see your brother in Empfield. They need to get my mom and sister out of the detention center. If not, then let's get a divorce."What Lauren had done over the past few days, Westley already felt that he owed his brother too much. When he heard Lauren's words, he immediately shouted angrily, "That's enough!"Lauren was stunned. She then walked up to Westley and began punching him in the chest. "How dare you shout a
Laura nodded after hearing what Shannon had said.The matters of the Leonard family had come to a stop for now. Lauren and May weren't able to get Jamie out of prison, so Philip used the evidence that he possessed to send the two of them to prison as well.Lauren and May could no longer do anything to Shannon anymore.At the same time, Laura received another message. Luke and Jessica were going to get a divorce.After getting off work, Laura and Chris headed to the Walker family's house. However, they could hear the noise from inside the house through the door.When Laura walked in, she saw quite a lot of people standing in the living room. Shona had the darkest face out of all of them.However, Laura didn't really care. She just walked over to Linda.Linda had bandages on her head. The injury was caused by Jessica.Ever since Laura refused to help Lena, the latter used her own methods to get the things that Jessica got from the Walker family.Tristan had been lying to Jessica
"Shut your mouth!" Jessica looked at Lena angrily. "I still have a score to settle with you, you bitch! How dare you seduce my husband? I'm your cousin! Do you know no shame?"Lena wasn't backing down at all after hearing Jessica's words. "Jessica, I think you're the bitch here. Have you forgotten what you asked me to do in the beginning? You deliberately asked me to seduce Luke so that you could gather evidence and divorce him. That way, you can get a share of the Walker family's assets. You're the one who's setting him up, why are you being all emotional right now? How dare you blame me for all of this?"Lena's words caused Shona to become infuriated."You bitch! The Walker family has treated you well, how dare you do this to us? Do you have a death wish?"Shona and Jessica became entangled in a fight again. Lena wanted to make herself look good in front of Shona, she was also mad at Jessica for what she had said. Therefore, she immediately joined the fight against Jessica.Jenn
Millie joined in the conversation as well. "That's right, Jennifer. You should know your place. What Jessica had done was truly an embarrassment."Millie knew that her daughter wanted to marry into the Walker family. If she helped Shona get their assets back, she would be helping her daughter.Joe was thinking the same thing as Nicholas. Even if Jessica had cheated on Luke, she and Luke were married after all. It was unlikely to divorce her without giving her any assets whatsoever. However, what neither of them expected was what Lena was about to say next."Mr. and Mrs. Walker, Mom, Dad, I've taken all the assets back," Lena said calmly.In order to keep things a secret, Lena had only told Luke about it and Luke didn't tell anyone else either.Lena's words caused everyone's faces to change, especially Jessica."Lena, what nonsense are you talking about?"Lena smiled. "The car that Mrs. Walker has bought for Luke was in your name, but you transferred the car to Tristan's name to
Jessica's had completely lost hope.Jennifer widened her eyes in shock as well. "I knew he wasn't reliable."She had felt that Tristan wasn't reliable from the beginning, but she couldn't really give a reason. Jessica had promised her many times that Tristan was trustworthy, so she felt that she was just overthinking things.However, she didn't expect things to turn out like this."When did you give the house and car to Tristan?"In the past, Jessica would talk to Jennifer about the things that she was going to do. However, she didn't tell Jennifer anything about giving the house and car to Tristan.Looking at Jennifer's eyes, Jessica swallowed but didn't dare say anything.She knew that if she had told Jennifer about it, Jennifer would definitely not have allowed her to give the things to Tristan. However, she trusted Tristan, so she didn't tell Jennifer."You fool!"Jennifer could tell from the look on Jessica's face about what she had done.Jessica pursed her lips and look
"Take your things. Let's go get divorced now."Luke looked in front of him, but he didn't look at Jessica again.Shona snorted coldly and said that Jessica was a shameless person, but Jessica didn't retort.Jessica wasn't willing to get a divorce, but this wasn't up to her. Luke was planning to take things to court.Laura wasn't concerned about what was going to happen. But she knew that the Walker family would have quite a busy time ahead of them. She didn't want Linda to suffer, so she and Chris took Linda to their house.When Luke and Jessica walked out of the courthouse, Lena quickly walked over with a smile on her face.She wrapped her arms around Luke's and cocked her brows arrogantly at Jessica. Luke didn't push her away either.Shona spat at Jessica as well before walking over to Lena and talking to her with a smile.Such a scene caused Jessica's heart to ache. She stood where she was and watched as Luke and Lena left together. She was filled with anger.Jessica felt t
A smile appeared on Lena's face. She knew that she would need to have a good relationship with Shona if she was to secure her place in the Walker family.However, now that Luke and Jessica were divorced, to prevent others from spreading rumors about Luke, Lena planned on marrying Luke later on.She would then move out with Luke to the house that Shona had bought for Luke after she was married to Luke.After all, no woman would want to live with her mother-in-law all the time.Laura took Lind to her house. In the evening, Chris took the two of them out for dinner.After they had returned, Laura helped Linda get a shower and then changed the bandages on Linda's head.In the room, Linda sat on the edge of the bed with a worried look on her face. She would also let out a sigh occasionally.Laura knew that Linda was worried about Luke."Grandma, there's nothing to be worried about. Luke knows what he's doing. Let him take care of his own matters."Linda nodded after hearing Laura's
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
