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
Linda knew that Chris would be a good husband as soon as she saw him. Now that Laura's life was improving, Linda felt very happy.The only thing that she hoped was that her granddaughter would be happy.In the meanwhile, Jessica wasn't willing to accept the fact that Luke had divorced her. She wasn't going to give up either.She stood in front of the Walker family's house very early in the morning with Cola in her arms.Shona had woken up early in the morning and was startled by Jessica when she opened the door.When Jessica saw Shona, she immediately began sobbing and sat down on the ground with Cola in her arms in front of Shona."Mom, I've brought Cola to see you. The child has missed you. I admit it was my bad in the past, please can you give me another chance? Take a look at Cola, you were the one who took care of him before. Mom, please don't be so ruthless."Jessica's actions made Cola uncomfortable and caused him to start crying."Are you out of your mind?"Shona felt
Jessica was wanting to slap Lena, but Luke grabbed her wrist before her hand landed on Lena. Luke then pushed Jessica's hand away lightly.This caused Jessica's eyes to turn red."Luke..." She couldn't believe that Luke was treating her like this."If you're here to make a scene, then I'll be calling the police." Luke's cold gaze landed on Jessica and his voice was cold as well.Jessica widened her eyes in shock. She couldn't believe what she had just heard.Luke's words caused Lena to be very happy deep down. She looked at Shona and said deliberately, "Mom, are you headed out to buy groceries? I'll go with you."Shona waved her hand. "It's alright. You and Luke can head back inside and get some more sleep. I'll be fine on my own."As soon as Shona finished speaking, without Jessica stopping her, she headed straight down the stairs.Lena sized Jessica up and down with a disdainful gaze. She then wrapped her arms around Luke's and pretended to say coquettishly, "Luke, I'm still
Laura told Chris about her plans and Chris didn't have any problems with it."I'm headed to Jeswood for a contract in a few days. We can head over together.""Okay." Laura nodded. "Then I'll go ask Grandma if she wants to go."The "Grandma" that Laura was referring to this time was Madam Jacobs.Chris nodded in agreement.Laura gave Madam Jacobs a call and the latter said that she was more than happy to go.The good thing about owning your own store was that you could make the arrangements however you like.Laura agreed on a time with Chris and told Shannon about it. She was taking Linda and Madam Jacobs to Jeswood for a few days, so she was planning on giving Shannon a few days off as well.She asked Shannon if she wanted to go with them.Shannon was overjoyed when she heard Laura's question. "Can I?"It was true that she wanted to head out for some fun."Sure. You can pack your luggage and head out with us.""Okay." Shannon nodded happily.Laura then told Linda about her
Looking at what was happening in the living room, Nicholas frowned.Shona said after a short pause, "Nothing. It's just that Laura wants to take Mom to Jeswood all of a sudden. Mom's already getting old and I don't know what Laura's thinking. Why can't she just let Mom stay at home? Why does she want to take Mom to Jeswood?"Luke didn't really agree with Shona after hearing what she had said. "Mom, I think you should let Laura take Grandma to Jeswood. Isn't it good to go see more of the world? It's better than Grandma being stuck at home all the time, right? Besides, Grandma's fit and healthy enough to travel.""What do you know?" Shona immediately retorted.It was the first time in many years that Shona had talked to Luke in such a way. This caused Luke to be a little taken aback."I said you're not allowed to go and that's final. Especially you, Laura. You're not allowed to go either. Stay in Empfield and work to earn money. You're not allowed to spend any unnecessary money. Don
