After the Holland family had left, Laura and Chris didn't stay either. They were about to leave.Before they left, Chris went to take a call.Luke was lying on the sofa and texting Jessica with a smile on his face. When he saw that Laura was about to leave, he stopped her."Wait a sec, sis." Luke locked his phone and put it on the sofa. "There's something I want to tell you."Luke first raised his head and looked out the door. When he was sure that Chris wasn't around, he continued, "Lend me some money."In the past, Luke would never call her "sis", he would just call her by her name.Laura knew that Luke wanted to borrow money as soon as Luke called her "sis"."I don't have any.""What are you talking about?" Luke furrowed his brows. "Today is your payday, if I remember correctly. How can you not have any money? You would always give us some money every month in the past, but you haven't been doing so for the past few months. Now that I want to borrow some money from you, you
"Madam, it's you!""You're, Laura!" Madam Jacobs pretended to be shocked.Chris had to admit, Madam Jacobs might be old, but she was very good at acting.In order to play along with Madam Jacobs, Chris also asked in surprise, "What? You know each other?"Laura forced herself to calm down.How could there be such a coincidence? Her newlywed husband's grandmother was actually her old friend.Laura thought about the conversation she had with Madam Jacobs and realized that she didn't mention that her granddaughter-in-law was coming to visit her today. Laura also said that she was going to visit her grandmother-in-law with her husband as well."I'm so surprised, Laura. I can't believe you're my granddaughter-in-law. This is just great!"Madam Jacobs walked over and pushed Chris aside. She held Laura's hand and walked into the room.Laura had no idea what mood she was in. However, now that she knew Chris's grandmother was someone she knew, Laura breathed a sigh of relief. Her nerv
"Chris, watch your attitude towards Helen." Lewis was dissatisfied with Chris's attitude. He led Helen Foster inside the house.Lewis first scanned the room and placed the briefcase in his hand on the sofa. He took his jacket off and walked up tot he dining table. He then sized Laura up and down. "You're Chris's newlywed wife?"Laura noticed how Lewis addressed Madam Jacobs when he walked into the house.'He's Chris's father?' wondered Chris.Laura looked at Chris. When she saw that Chris had a dark face, she didn't make a sound."Is this your attitude when an elder is talking to you? Where are your manners?""That's enough!" Madam Jacobs slammed the cutlery in her hand on the table She raised her head and looked at Lewis in the eyes. "Who said you could come back? Didn't I tell you that if you choose to be with this woman, then you're no longer part of the Jacobs family?"Helen was the person who caused Lewis to cheat on his wife during their marriage.Because of her, Lewis ig
Laura noticed that the expression on Chris's face didn't change, but his grip on the cutlery tightened."Mom, don't get too excited." Lewis thought Madam Jacobs was too excited to speak. "Helen and I will stay in Empfield until the child is born.""No, I'm not excited at all. I'm just shocked." Madam Jacobs came back to her senses. "You can stay, but I don't recognize this woman as my daughter-in-law. I don't recognize the child in her womb either. I only have two grandchildren and they're Chris and Harry. No one else is part of the Jacobs family."Madam Jacobs wasn't being nice at all. The smile on Helen's face finally began to fade.The reason that she dared to come back with Lewis this time, was because she wanted to use the child in her womb to be recognized as a member of the Jacobs family. However, she didn't expect Madam Jacobs to say that she didn't recognize the child in her womb."Mom, Helen's pregnant with my child. Why don't you recognize the child?" Lewis was a little
When Harry walked inside, he had an angry look on his face as he looked at Lewis.'Why is this guy back? He brought his mistress back as well!' thought Harry.He looked at Helen angrily as if his eyes could spit fire.When Lewis divorced his wife, Chris was 10 and Harry was only seven years old.However, a seven-year-old child could already remember a lot of things.Chris took Harry with him whenever he went. It was Chris who taught Harry to read and write. He taught Harry manners and raised him.To Harry, his brother was the most important person in the world."Harry, you're back." Lewis saw his other son and his attitude softened. "I'm not bullying your brother and sister-in-law. It's just that they don't have any manners and aren't showing Helen any respect, that's all.""Helen?" A mocking smile appeared on Harry's face. "What respect does a homewrecker want from us? Does she even deserve respect?"It was impossible for Harry not to hate Helen.Harry was three years younge
"Laura, Chris, and Harry didn't grow up with their parents. I was the one who raised them. They had a really hard childhood. Every time I think of that unfilial son of mine, my heart would ache." Madam Jacobs felt really bad for Chris and Harry. Their parents left them when they were young. Now that the two of them had grown up, their father actually brought his mistress back and the mistress was pregnant as well."Normally, Chris is a workaholic and wouldn't take care of himself when he's busy. He's in his 30s now. He's really lucky that you're willing to marry him. I don't have any other requests, I just hope the two of you can get along and live happily. This is a bracelet that has been passed by our ancestors, take it," said Madam Jacobs.Madam Jacobs took out a golden bracelet from a drawer and passed it to Laura.Laura was immediately taken aback and waved her hand. "Madam, I can't. It's too expensive."She could tell that Madam Jacobs was treating her as a real granddaughter
In the morning.Chris was working in his office and Assistant Jacobs rushed in from the outside."Mr. Jacobs, someone's causing trouble outside. He said that he's your... father."Assistant Jacobs looked nervously at Chris and then quickly lowered his head.Chris frowned and his hand froze slightly. He then put the pen down on the table and stood up.His tall figure walked towards the door."I've only not been in the company for a few years and none of you recognize me?" Lewis stood at the entrance of the staircase with a frown. He had a briefcase in his hand and wanted to head to the top floor. However, the security guards weren't letting him through.There were a lot of employees looking curiously at Lewis."Get Chris out here! I'm his father and your employer! If you keep on stopping me like this, I'll fire you!""Who gave you such a right?" Chris appeared with a dark face.Assistant Jacobs followed behind Chris and waved his hand at the employees who had gathered around t
The lawyer showed what he found on the internet to Lewis.Lewis couldn't help but gasp."You hold 70% of the company's shares?"Lewis thought that Chris would have 30% of the shares at the most and 20% would be from Madam Jacobs and Harry. However, he didn't expect Chris to be able to be in total control of the company after only a few years."You'd better leave before I get the security guards to throw you out." Chris was already unhappy after wasting so much of his work time.His domineering aura surrounded Lewis and made Lewis panic a little.Lewis didn't even calm down even after leaving the Jacobs Group.What he had planned was he would use his identity as Chris's father to take the position as the CEO of the Jacobs Group. He would then go to Madam Jacobs and see if she would transfer him her shares to make his status even higher in the Jacobs Group.However, that seemed to be impossible now.How could he be compared to Chris, who owned 70% of the shares?Lewis took out
