"Please can you check the recorded content and if there aren't any other problems, please sign it."Amelia quickly read through the recorded content and signed it when she was sure that there weren't any problems.Brian looked at the signature and then nodded. "Alright, thank you for your cooperation, Miss Summers. You may leave now."Amelia then left the police station. She did know about the scratch on her car. She recognized Shannon and knew that she worked at Laura's convenience store. Therefore, when she saw Shannon and Harry, she came up with a plan.Laura and Shannon were very good friends. They had also come to Jeswood together. Amelia knew that if something happened to Shannon, Laura would definitely show up.That was why she suddenly wanted to put the blame for the scratches on her car on Shannon. Amelia felt that there was no way Laura and Shannon would be able to afford the repairs. This meant that she could take this chance to make Laura look bad in front of the Summe
After what happened, Laura and the others had no intention of staying in Jeswood any longer. Plus the weather was getting hotter, so they planned to return to Empfield.The night before the day of their departure, there was a problem with Chris's contract."You guys head back. I'll need to stay for a few more days."After having a shower, Chris got into bed. He wrapped an arm around Laura's shoulder and allowed her to lean on him as he caressed her hair.When Laura heard those words, she widened her eyes and sat up as she looked at Chris. "Why do you have to stay? Did something happen?"There was a trace of concern in her voice.Chris then tried to comfort Laura. "It's about the contract that we just signed. The business partner has encountered some problems. The person who signed the contract with me was fired a long time ago, but he still possessed the company's stamp and the company didn't remove his name from the system. Now that the contract has been signed, our business par
"I'm sorry that there's been a misunderstanding between us last time, Miss Walker. Can I treat you to a meal as an apology?"Amelia's attitude was very soft and gentle. She was acting completely different from the arrogant person she was a few days ago.Laura looked at her phone and then locked the screen. She decided to ignore Amelia.The two of them didn't know each other very well. If it weren't for the video proof they had found, they would still probably be locked in the police station. Therefore, Laura felt that Amelia didn't want to treat her to a meal because she wanted to apologize. It was probably a setup.Besides, even if Amelia wanted to apologize, Laura felt that Amelia would need to treat Shannon and Harry to a meal and not her. Why would Amelia want to treat her to a meal?Chris, who was standing next to Laura noticed the change in Laura's expression. "How come you're suddenly in a daze after looking at your phone?"Chris's words caused Laura to come back to her se
Laura followed Amelia into the car.It was the same Rolls Royce as the one a couple of days ago. However, the scratch was gone.Amelia parked the car outside a cafe called "The Encounter"."Hello, have you made a booking?" asked a member of staff.Amelia passed a card to the waiter and the waiter immediately became respectful. He then led the two of them inside."This is your table, Miss Summers. What can I get you?""A hot Latte please."Amelia then passed the menu to Laura.Laura passed the menu back to the waiter. "I'm fine, thank you."She wasn't here to drink coffee.After the waiter had left, Laura asked Amelia, "Why do you keep wanting to see me, Miss Summers?"Amelia got straight to the point as well. "I want you to leave Jeswood. I just wanted to say this to you in person and get you to leave as soon as possible.""Why?" It was Laura's turn to feel puzzled this time.She felt that they didn't offend Amelia in any way and weren't causing Amelia any trouble at all.
"One dollar." Amelia looked through her bag and took out a 20-dollar note.When the girl wanted to give Amelia her change, she said, "Keep the change.""I can't." Amelia's words shocked the girl."It's alright, just keep it. I feel that you look like a friend of mine. It's a pity that she's gone. Seeing you is like seeing her. Can I come here more often in the future?" Amelia pretended to be sad."Sure. But I still can't take this money." The girl wanted to give the change to Amelia, but Amelia didn't let her."It's alright. Take as the money I've paid you for talking to me if I come in the future."Seeing that Amelia insisted, the girl had no choice but to nod and accept the money. "Then I won't charge you any money in the future when you come.""Okay." Amelia curved her lips slightly. She then said, "Oh, my name's Amelia Summers by the way. What's your name?""My name's Nancy Sugden.""Okay, you don't mind me calling you Nancy, right?""Not at all." Nancy shook her head.A
Due to Amelia's appearance, Laura's plans for the day were ruined.On the way back to the hotel Laura realized that it was lunchtime, so she just bought some food and was going to eat it in the hotel room.She no longer wanted to go out anymore today.When Laura arrived back at the hotel, Chris had already returned as well."Where did you go? Have you eaten? Do you want to go out to get something to eat?"Seeing that Laura had returned, Chris stood up and walked towards her.Laura sat on the sofa and started complaining to Chris about what happened. "I always had a feeling that Amelia was acting strangely. I was about to head out to get something for breakfast. Who would have known that she was waiting for me outside the hotel? I felt that if I didn't go with her today, she would definitely keep texting me, so I followed her to a cafe. I asked her why she wanted to talk to me so badly, do you what she said?""What did she say?" asked Chris as he cocked his brows, signaling Laura
"You're so pretty!" Laura held Chris's face and held his drunken eyes. There was a hint of obsession in her eyes.Chris was a little taken aback. He didn't expect Laura would say such things. Therefore, a mixture of feelings appeared in his eyes. His deep voice sounded in Laura's ears. It was obvious that he was teasing her. "Then tell me, what do you mean exactly?"Laura blinked her eyes after hearing those words and said seriously, "Well, your brows, eyes, nose, mouth, and all your facial features!"As she said those words, she used her hand to trace out Chris's facial features."Do you like me then?" Chris continued to ask.Laura kept on nodding her head. She then said lovingly, "I do! I really like you!"This was the first time that Chris had heard such a straightforward expression of love from Laura. His heart began to race.Chris lowered his head and looked at Laura. He couldn't help but reach out and wrap his arms around Laura's waist.Laura then leaned in and fell aslee
On the morning of the next day, the sunlight shone through the French windows and landed on Laura's face.She frowned and slowly woke up.Just when she was about to sit up, she realized that her whole body was aching and she couldn't move at all.'Last night... did me and Chris...'Laura massaged her temples and tried to recall what happened the previous night.She could remember that she had drank some alcoholic drink... after that...Laura widened her eyes in shocked and shook her head. Fragments of what happened the previous night flashed through her mind."Awake?"Chris's familiar voice sounded in her ears. Laura raised her head and looked at him. That was when her ears began to turn red.Chris was holding a glass of water and walking towards Laura."Have some water." Chris passed the water to Laura.After drinking some water, Laura thought of what happened last night as well. This caused her to blush again.The more she thought of what happened last night, the more emb
