"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
Lena and Luke had been married for a while now, so it was normal for Lena to be pregnant.Shona continued, "Your grandmother misses you. When are you planning on going back home to visit her?"Laura squinted her eyes as soon as she heard Shona's words. 'She's asking me to go back home to visit Grandma?'Shona felt a little embarrassed being looked at by Laura, so she avoided Laura's eyes."What do you want now?" Laura looked away and asked indifferently."Who was that woman that just walked out of your store just now?" Shona asked straightforwardly."Why?" Laura frowned."I'm just asking. Laura, you need to be careful what friends you make now. Don't try and be friends with anyone you come across. They might sell you out at any time. I don't think that woman just now is a good person at all."Shona's words about Mrs. Summers caused Laura's face to change. "I'd advise you to show some respect for others."Seeing the look on Laura's face, Shona's heart skipped a beat. 'Laura's s
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
