"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
Seeing how Mrs. Summers was holding Laura's hand, Amelia's face darkened even more.However, due to Mrs. Summers being present, she had no choice but to keep quiet.'You'll kneel in front of me and beg me, Laura!' Amelia exclaimed inwardly.After heading downstairs, the three of them saw Nancy sitting on the sofa waiting for them. She would occasionally look in the direction of the stairs as well.When Nancy saw the three of them, she quickly stood up nervously.Amelia walked up to Nancy and introduced her to Mrs. Summers. "Mom, this is the friend I told you about. Her name is Nancy Sugden."When Mrs. Summers saw Nancy, she was taken aback.She looked between Nancy and Laura and then said with a smile, "Let's sit down everyone."Seeing this, Amelia knew that Mrs. Summers began to feel suspicious and felt happy. "Mom, do you think she looks familiar? I had the same feeling the first time I saw her as well."Laura seemed to have noticed this as well. Therefore, she began sizing
