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
Shona's words caused Amelia to be dumbfounded.She couldn't help but tighten her grip around her phone. Her dark eyes turned cold as well.She then said in a soft voice, "Okay, Mrs. Walker. I'm aware. I'll pay you a visit when I have time."When Shona heard Amelia say that she would pay her a visit, Shona was overjoyed. "Okay."Her voice was full of excitement.After hanging up, Amelia's face darkened.'Laura, can't you just stay in Empfield? Why do you have to come to Jeswood? Jeswood is my turf and no one is going to change that!' thought Amelia.On the morning of the next day.Laura, Chris, and Linda got out of bed and had breakfast before they headed downstairs.They first went to pick Madam Jacobs and Shannon up.Linda was a little travel sick, so she sat in the passenger seat. Madam Jacobs, Laura, and Shannon sat in the backseat.This was the first time that Shannon had gone on a holiday with Laura. She was quite excited."Well, I was so excited last night that I coul
'Shouldn't he be in Empfield? Why is he in Jeswood?' wondered Shannon.Harry walked towards Shannon as he wobbled the plane ticket in his hand. "Since you're not taking me with you, I've got to find my own way here."The corners of Shannon's lips twitched. However, Shannon was still happy that she had Harry by her side.Chris booked rooms at a hotel and the six of them headed towards it.Linda and Madam Jacobs lived in a live, Laura and Chris lived in a room. Harry was able to live in a room with Shannon after putting in some effort to convince her.Chris needed to head off to work, so he wasn't able to accompany Laura and the two elders.Harry patted his chest confidently and took the responsibility of taking care of everyone."Don't worry, Chris. I'll take care of them."There was nothing that Chris would need to worry about with Harry around. The bodyguards of the Jacobs family were also secretly protecting everyone as well.Chris headed off to work while Laura and the othe
Harry went to order coffee and took care of the two elders.Chris wasn't around, so he had to take the responsibility of taking care of the ladies.The weather was getting hot and the sun was high up in the sky.It was around two o'clock in the afternoon when the sun was the highest.After everyone finished their coffees and had gotten some rest, Madam Jacobs suggested that they go shopping at the shopping center opposite the road. After all, it was too hot to stay outside.Laura and the others didn't have any problems with Madam Jacobs' suggestion.Before the five of them left the cafe, they put on their caps and face masks to shield themselves from the sun.Laura and Shannon were afraid of getting sunburned, so they also applied sun cream to their arms as well.The shopping center across the road was the largest shopping center in Jeswood. As soon as they walked inside, they could feel the cool air of the air conditioning.They decided not to take off their caps and face mas
Mrs. Summers noticed Amelia's strange behavior and turned around feeling a little puzzled.Amelia quickly came back to her senses. She then wrapped her arms around Mrs. Summers' and headed in the other direction.Mrs. Summers didn't say anything. She came out today because she wanted to bring Amelia out shopping and buy something for her. She would follow Amelia anywhere she wanted to go.Amelia became nervous and only breathed a sigh of relief after Laura had disappeared.Mrs. Summers noticed that Amelia was acting strangely and gave her a puzzled look. However, when she saw that Amelia didn't want to talk about it, she decided not to ask.For the rest of the afternoon, Amelia might still be accompanying Mrs. Summers, but her mind was obviously somewhere else.In the end, Mrs. Summers said, "Amelia, are you feeling okay?"Amelia shook her head. "Not really."After hearing those words, Mrs. Summers said, "Let's head back home. Just wait here for a minute. I'll head to the toile
Mrs. Summers' words caused Amelia's heart to skip a beat. Her hair stood on end and her eyes widened. However, Mrs. Summers kept on looking in the direction that Laura had left, so she didn't notice the change in Amelia's expression.Amelia moved her lips and said, "Mom, I think you've made a mistake. My brother's eyes are very good-looking. It would be rare for a person's eyes to be as good-looking as his."Mrs. Summers didn't answer Amelia's words. She and Amelia held hands as they walked out of the shopping center.Amelia pretended to say casually, "My friend was born in Empfield and raised there all her life. She had never left Empfield before. This is her first visit to Jeswood. I'll show her around tomorrow."Mrs. Summers nodded. "You're friends, so you should show her around Jeswood."Amelia smiled.After dinner, Laura and the others went to a few more places before they headed back to the hotel.At the entrance, they bumped into Chris who was just about to head inside.
At the mention of the project, Nathan pursed his lips and his face darkened.Seeing the look on his face, Amelia asked curiously, "You lost?"Nathan nodded.This surprised Amelia."Who was it that was able to steal the project from you? Does he have a death wish?""It's the Jacobs Group," said Nathan.Nathan was very confident that he would be able to get the project this time, but he still failed. That was something he didn't expect.He would never underestimate anyone, but he seemed to have underestimated the Jacobs Group."You've put in a lot of effort for this project. It's a pity that you didn't get it. Can't we talk things out? Do they not care about the Summers Group at all?" Amelia said through gnashed teeth."The Jacobs Group is just as powerful as us. Never mind, we lost fair and square this time," Nathan said with a sigh.What he didn't know was that the Jacobs Group was way more complicated than he had thought.Nathan might have gotten over things, but Amelia sti
Amelia was slightly taken aback by Laura's words.She then remembered the message that she didn't bother to read.She didn't expect Laura to actually turn her down and refused to let her treat her to a meal."Miss Walker, I took the initiative to treat you to a meal, but you refused. Don't you think it's a little inappropriate?"Amelia's words made Laura feel really puzzled.First of all, the two of them didn't know each other that well. They had only met a few times. Second of all, why couldn't she turn Amelia down?"I'm sorry, Miss Walker. I came to Jeswood this time with my family on holiday. Therefore, thank you for your invitation. I'll treat you to a meal next time when I get the chance."Laura's words meant that she had turned Amelia down again.After hearing those words, Amelia tightened her grip around her phone. Her eyes were full of anger. She wanted to say something, but after looking around at the waiters around her, she decided to not say anything. In the end, she
