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."
Mrs. Summers nodded at Mr. Summers' words.Seeing this, Amelia knew that it was inappropriate for her to say anything else. However, she was using so much force on her cutlery that her plate was about to crack.If Mrs. Summers went to Empfield, then that would mean she might meet Laura again.The thought of the two of them meeting made Amelia very uncomfortable.'Why does this bitch have to cause trouble for me all the time? If she wants to go out, she can do so by herself! Why does she want to go to Empfield anyway? Such a bitch!' Amelia cursed inwardly.Amelia lowered her head and looked at the plate in front of her and a fierce look appeared in her eyes. 'It looks like I need to speed things up.'Mrs. Summers and Nancy went to Empfield. Before they were setting off, Mrs. Summers sent Laura a text telling her that she was going to Empfield.When Laura saw the text, her eyes lit up. Somehow, she felt really happy after hearing that Mrs. Summers was coming to Empfield.She then
Mrs. Summers stood up and said to Laura, "The two of you can continue eating, I'll just pop to the toilet."Laura wanted to accompany Mrs. Summers, but the latter refused. "No, it's fine. There's no need. You two continue eating. You don't need to worry about me, I'll be right back."Laura had no choice but to nod her head.Nancy had a smile on her face when Mrs. Summers was around, but as soon as the latter walked out of the room, Nancy slammed the cutlery in her hand on the table. She looked at Laura and sneered. "Laura, you need to know your place. Don't try to accept things that don't belong to you."Laura was completely confused."Don't you know the status of the Summer family? Do you think you're worthy of being my mom's goddaughter? Do you think it's even possible? I'd suggest you know your place and don't take what my mom said seriously.""I think you worry too much, Miss Summers. I didn't even say a word throughout this matter," said Laura.When she heard that Mrs. Summ
Mrs. Summers quickly took Nancy to the hospital. Laura hesitated, but still followed.In the hospital, after the burn on Nancy's arm was treated, she glared at Laura. She pointed at her and said, "Mom, it's her! She's the one who caused this."Laura couldn't believe what she was hearing.After hearing Nancy's words, Laura furrowed her brows. 'What the hell is she talking about?'Laura felt that she hadn't offended Nancy in any way. What happened in the private room just now made Laura feel that Nancy was deliberately causing trouble and making things difficult for her. Now, Nancy was even slandering her.'What a joke,' thought Laura."I'm not." Compared to Nancy, who was angry, Laura was much calmer. "You're the one who tried to pour the boiling water on me but ended up burning yourself."When Mrs. Summers heard the first half of Laura's sentence, she widened her eyes in shock and subconsciously walked over to Laura."Laura, are you alright? Were you hurt?"Laura shook her hea
After Laura got into the car, Chris asked, "What happened? You don't look so happy."Laura didn't expect to notice such details.No one liked to be slandered and Laura was no exception. She didn't really care about Nancy slandering her today, but she still felt a little upset."I don't think I'm showing it, but you still noticed."Chris held the steering wheel with one hand and Laura's hand with the other. He then gently rubbed her hand. "What happened?"Laura then told Chris what happened during dinner.After that, she said, "I don't think I've offended her in any way. I don't know why she wants to make things difficult for me. However, it's no big deal. It won't affect me in any way."Laura had always been a reasonable person and wouldn't allow others to affect her mood that much.She had been a little unhappy just now, but the unhappiness disappeared after she told Chris about what happened.When Laura arrived back at the convenience store, it was the evening, but it wasn't
"I just felt upset that you were speaking up for Laura back there. I'm your daughter..."Tears began to well up in Nancy's eyes as she said those words.Mrs. Summers passed her a piece of tissue. "I wasn't on anyone's side. I was just asking if there was some kind of misunderstanding between the two of you. After all, trying to pour boiling water on someone isn't a small matter."Nancy gritted her teeth. "I know. But Mom, I'm your daughter, I wouldn't slander Laura for no reason either. I don't know why she tried to pour boiling water on me. It's probably because you said that you wanted to be her godmother and I said that you will need her parents to agree as well. This delayed you becoming her godmother, so she was probably upset about it."After saying those words, Nancy quickly lowered her head and pretended to look pitiful.Mrs. Summers frowned. "I think you've mistaken, Nancy. The way I see it, even if Laura's parents agreed, Laura wouldn't.""Why? Our family's so rich," Na
Mrs. Summers pursed her lips and her face became a little dark.On the morning of the next day.Laura came to the convenience store to start the day. That was when a middle-aged woman walked in. She was in her middle ages, but she had a tall and elegant figure."Mrs. Summers, what brought you here?"When the two of them were talking on WhatsApp, Laura had mentioned to Mrs. Summers that she had a convenience store next to the Jacobs Group's office building. Therefore, it was easy for Mrs. Summers to find where Laura worked.She had brought quite a lot of things with her.Laura quickly walked over and said, "What are you doing, Mrs. Summers?"Mrs. Summers smiled and wrapped her arm around Laura's. "It's nothing, Laura. Just some gifts I brought for you."Mrs. Summers wasn't someone who liked to beat around the bush, so apologized for what happened the previous day."I didn't expect Nancy would slander you. I'll make sure to teach her not to do so in the future."Laura hesitated
