Chris then opened a bottle of water and said, "Here, have some water."Laura nodded and then took a small sip to hydrate her throat."You haven't eaten, right?" Laura at the food in the lunchbox.Chris shook his head.Laura then took out a piece of the sandwich inside and passed it to Chris. He then took a bite.Feeling Chris's lips touch her fingers, Laura widened her eyes. Her ears then turned red.'What is this guy doing? Why is he licking my fingers when I'm feeding him?' Laura exclaimed inwardly.Laura passed the rest of the piece of sandwich to Chris, but this time, she deliberately placed her hand further away from his mouth.Seeing what Laura was doing, Chris chuckled and stopped teasing her.Meanwhile, the Summers family.As soon as Nancy woke up on her big bed, she saw a message from Frank Sugden, her adopted father.Ever since Nancy was taken in by the Summers family, the Summers family hired the best doctors from all over the country to treat Frank. They also gav
"Of course, you can. You can tell Nathan about it when he gets back," Mrs. Summers said with a smile.Nathan was the person in charge of the Summers Group at the moment.After hearing Mrs. Summers' reply, Nancy immediately nodded her head excitedly.Mr. Summers, Nathan, and Amelia returned during dinner time.There were the roast chicken and duck on the table that Nancy said she wanted in the morning.Nancy offered a piece of chicken and duck to everyone on the table, but Amelia refused both."I'm alright, thank you, Nancy. I don't really like chicken and duck.""Okay." Nancy had no choice but to take the chicken and duck back.Amelia smiled and placed a lobster onto her plate.Nancy picked up the drink in front of her and raised the glass at Nathan. "I propose a toast to you, Nathan."Nancy was actually a little nervous in front of Nathan.Nathan would normally be busy, so Nancy rarely saw him. They wouldn't talk much every time they bump into each other either. This was ve
Nancy was already a little unhappy when Amelia tried to stop her from going to work at the Summers Group. Now that Amelia was still trying to convince her not to go, Nancy lost her temper a little as well."Nathan has already said that I can go work as an assistant in the administrative department. That means I'm not completely useless at all," said Nancy."He just doesn't want to turn you down."Nathan had always treated the members of the Summers family really well. This was something Amelia had always known. But she didn't expect Nancy to use Nathan to try to get her to back off.'Does she really think she's the boss now that she's been taken in by the Summers family?'"I don't know what you're talking about. You can go ask Nathan if you have any problems, Amelia."Nancy didn't continue the argument with Amelia. After saying those words, she headed to her own room.Anger arose in Amelia's heart. She looked at Nancy's receding figure and a malicious and insidious look flashed
Nancy had heard every single word that the servants had said. Her eyes immediately turned red and her body trembled. "What are you talking about?"The servants looked at the source and they were all shocked when they saw Nancy.They scattered and fled the scene.'How did they know that I worked at a nightclub?' wondered Nancy.She quickly took out her phone and that was when a push notification popped up on her screen."The Daughter of the Summers Family Used to Work at a Nightclub!"The report was anonymous and was posted not so long after midnight.Nancy had slept early the previous night, so she didn't see the news report. Only a few hours had passed and it was already going viral on the internet.The content of the news report was basically saying that the daughter that the Summers family had just found used to work at a nightclub. There was even a picture of Nancy from when she used to work at the nightclub.In the picture, a man had an arm wrapped around her waist.The
Nancy felt that she had brought shame onto the Summers family and she was afraid that she would kick her out.That was not something she wanted to happen. She had only lived a few days of good life and didn't want to be abandoned by the Summers family because of the scandal.Mrs. Summers walked up to Nancy and asked her what happened. But Nancy just sobbed and said nothing.Amelia saw this when she came down the stairs. Seeing the state of Nancy, Amelia realized what had happened.Her lips curved into a smile and pretended not to know anything. She looked at Nancy and pretended to be surprised. "Nancy, what happened? Why are you crying?"Nancy raised her eyes and looked at Amelia, but she didn't answer Amelia's questions.Amelia answered a call in front of Mrs. Summers and Nancy. After she hung up, she looked down at her phone in disbelief. She then turned and asked, "Nancy, what's this all about? Did you really work at such a place?"Amelia placed the phone in front of Mrs. Sum
Nancy planned on going to the bathroom to wash up. Amelia followed her.After walking into the bathroom, Amelia closed the door and stood beside Nancy. She looked at Nancy as Nancy removed her makeup.Nancy was about to reapply her makeup when Amelia said, "Nancy, are you prepared to go to work today?"Nancy nodded. "That's right..."Amelia smiled. "Nancy, if I were you, I wouldn't go to work. This matter has reached the top of the list of trending searches. A lot of people now know about you. If you go to the company now, I'm afraid that you won't be able to stand others talking about you."Nancy froze for a second as she gave Amelia a puzzled look. "But Mom and the others believe me and they're going to explain to everyone about it a swell.""We're your family, of course, we believe you. But what about the others? They can say whatever they want and that's not something we can control. Even if we explained things to them, how many people would choose to believe us? What proof d
Shona raised her chin a little and said, "I came here to see my daughter, of course. What? You're my daughter and I can't come to see you? You're so unfilial."Laura sneered at those words."How did your trip to Jeswood go? Was Jeswood more interesting than Empfield? I told you not to go to Jeswood, but you didn't listen. I really don't know what you were thinking. Isn't Empfield big enough for you? You just had to go to Jeswood."After hearing Shona's words, Shannon frowned as well.She had known Laura for quite a long time now. When they were working at the previous convenience store, Shona had come to cause trouble a couple of times. Therefore, Shannon didn't have a good impression of Shona at all.Now that she heard what Shona had said, Shannon spoke up for Laura. "Don't you think you're a little too nosy? Laura can go wherever she wants. What's it got anything to do with you?""Who do you think you are? I'm talking to my daughter. What's it got anything to do with you?"Sha
"Oh, you don't want them? Alright, alright. I won't send them to you then. You can tell me what you want in the future and I'll send them to you." Shona sounded a little disappointed.After hanging up, she lowered her head and looked at her phone. She then sighed and walked back into the house.However, what Shona didn't expect was that the curtains of the window next to the balcony were opened. Lena was there with a curious look on her face.Who was Shona ringing just now and why was her voice so gentle?Shona even wanted to send the other party the gifts that her relatives gave her.After coming to the Walker family for so long, Lena knew what kind of person Shona was.Shona would rather throw things away than give them to someone else, not to mention send them to another city.This made Lena very curious."Amelia..."When Luke came home in the evening, Lena asked him about the name.After Luke heard the name, he said, "Amelia Summers. She's the person who ran my dad over."
