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
Nancy raised her head. Her eyes were red and as soon as she saw Amelia, she shouted, "Leave, Amelia. This has nothing to do with you!"The men around her all had fierce looks on their faces and were all holding a rod in their hands.Nancy was afraid that they would hurt Amelia and didn't want Amelia to be involved in this matter, so she told Amelia to leave.However, the group of men ignored Nancy's words and dragged Amelia to one side.One of them said to Nancy, "You keep quiet. She's your friend, isn't she? Let her keep us company tonight and we'll take some amount off the money you owe us.""She's quite pretty. If you keep us company for a few days, then Nancy can pay us back the money she owes us quite quickly," Another man smiled and said in a perverted voice."Get lost! Do you know who I am?" Amelia looked at the disgusting men in front of her, broke free from their grip, and said disdainfully."I don't care who you are. Nancy has to pay us back today. If she can't then yo
Amelia first complained and then tried to comfort Nancy. "It's obvious that they're taking advantage of you. You took out a usury. Don't worry, Nancy. You can always come to me if you need anything.""Thank you, Amelia." Nancy looked at Amelia with eyes full of gratitude and guilt.Amelia was helping her quite a lot, but she kept on causing trouble for Amelia.Amelia glared at Nancy. "What are you talking about? Hey, your knee's bleeding. We need to treat it now." Amelia suddenly saw the wound on Nancy's knee.The wound was caused by one of the men throwing her on the ground.Just when Amelia helped Nancy to sit down in the convenience store, her phone rang. She lowered her head and looked at the number on the screen. She looked at Nancy, who didn't notice anything and walked out to take the call."I'm at Nancy's store. Be quick with whatever you have to say," Amelia said in a low voice."I have something very important to tell you!" A middle-aged man's voice sounded on the othe
"Ever since I saw you, I always had a good feeling about you for some reason. I've heard Amelia say that you're from Empfield and have never been to Jeswood?"Mrs. Summers' heart raced when she asked Laura the question.This was because Laura looked a lot like her.Laura's appearance caused Mrs. Summers to have an assumption.As soon as Amelia arrived outside Mrs. Summers' room, she heard the question. This caused her hair to stand on end.Knock, knock, knock!Amelia's knock on the door interrupted the conversation between Mrs. Summers and Laura."Mom, it's me." Amelia pushed the door open and walked inside. As soon as she saw Laura, Amelia asked coldly, "Why are you here?"Mrs. Summers knew that the two of them had fallen out. Therefore, Amelia didn't know she would need to hide her hostility towards Laura.Laura didn't answer Amelia's question. She just looked at Amelia.Mrs. Summers quickly chimed in and looked between Laura and Amelia, "Laura is my guest. The two of you m
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
