Looking at Laura's white and smooth skin on her shoulders, Chris's eyes darkened. He then quickly looked away.Laura noticed that Chris wasn't looking anymore, so she quickly put on her jacket and said with a red face, "Alright, I'm done.""Okay." Chris turned back around and passed the small bag in his hand to Laura. "There's medical cream inside, you can apply it to your wounds."Laura looked down and saw that it was a cream to reduce swellings.She bit her lip and said, "Thank you."She was going to put some ice on the wounds at first to reduce the swelling.Chris frowned. He was a little dissatisfied with Laura saying thank you to him. "We're married. You don't have to say thank you to me."He remembered that he had told Laura this before. She didn't need to say thank you to him. Why couldn't she remember?It would be a lie to say that Laura wasn't touched.A man appeared to her rescue when she was in danger and protected her. After that, he was worried about her injuries
Laura smiled, but didn't comment on Shannon's words.However, she had to admit, that Chris did treat her quite well.Shannon had been keeping an eye on the store during the whole of lunch, Laura allowed her to get off work early to rest.As soon as Shannon left, Laura's phone rang.She looked at the caller ID and fell silent. But in the end, she chose to answer the call."Dad.""Laura." Nicholas's voice sounded on the other end of the line.Laura pursed her lips but didn't say anything. She waited for Nicholas to speak."Laura, you don't need to come back to the Walker family's house in the future."To Laura, she felt that Nicholas was the only person in the Walker family that would speak up for her. But his first words made Laura want to cry. Tears trickled down her cheeks."Your brother's currently in the hospital. The doctors said that he would be hospitalized for a week." There was a short pause. "Get your husband to come and apologize to your brother when you have time."
"I was around doing some business and I thought I'd drop by. Also to tell you there's an Alumni gathering tonight. Are you coming?"Laura pulled a chair over and gave Emily a bottle of water."I'm alright, thank you. I'll be leaving soon. Liam's still waiting for me at the cafe." Emily took the water. When she mentioned Liam, a smile appeared on her face. "You don't check your WhatsApp a lot, do you? The Alumni gathering was mentioned a few days ago, but you didn't reply."Laura was still in the group chat, but she turned the group chat on silent and she would rarely read the chat history either."I really didn't pay attention," said Laura.She was a little tired today and didn't really want to go.Emily probably could guess that Laura was going to turn her town, so she quickly said, "Laura, you can't turn me down. This is a rare occasion. I've heard that Prof. Wilson's going to be there as well."When Laura heard that Prof. Wilson was going to be there, her eyes lit up."Prof.
"Laura has a gathering to attend. You can help keep an eye on the store for her. Is that alright?""Yeah, sure. It's definitely fine."How could there be a problem since Chris had given the word?Chris nodded. "Okay. Make sure you wear a cap and face mask when you go down. Don't let her recognize you."After all, to Laura, Assistant Jacobs was the CEO of the Jacobs Group and Chris was the assistant.Assistant Jacobs nodded and he headed downstairs with Chris just before seven o'clock.He was wearing sunglasses, a black face mask and a black cap.When Laura saw him, she was taken aback.She suddenly felt that it wasn't alright to leave the store to this guy.Assistant Jacobs was afraid that Laura would recognize him, so he quickly entered the store.Chris had the car keys in his hand and lowered his head to look at Laura. "Let's go.""Okay." Laura looked away, picked up her bag and walked out of the store with Chris.Chris gave Laura a lift to the entrance of the club. When
Prof. Wilson didn't move.Laura wasn't frustrated either. She was just about to place the cup in front of Prof. Wilson when a sharp female voice sounded at the door."Hey, isn't this Laura?" A woman wearing a slim-fit black dress was standing at the door. Her hair was slightly curled and dyed brown, which hung loosely behind her. She was wearing makeup and was holding a luxury-branded bag. "What? Are you pouring Prof. Wilson some tea? Is he not accepting it? Why are you still trying?"Someone recognized the girl."Isn't that Jasmine Clinton? The bag that she has in her hand costs over 20 thousand dollars!""Jesus Christ, Jasmine! We haven't seen you for a year and you've become a rich woman!""I think Jasmine's married. I think she married the son of an affluent family, right?"People who were familiar with Jasmine began talking to her.When Jasmine recognized Laura, Laura recognized her as well.The two of them used to be in the same class during university. They weren't on g
Emily looked back at Jasmine with a smile. "Thank you for your concern, Jasmine. Liam and I are now in a relationship. We're very happy and we'll be married soon. However, Jasmine, why haven't I seen you post anything about your husband or your wedding on Twitter? What does he look like? I've seen Laura's husband and he's very handsome!"Laura frowned when Emily suddenly mentioned her."Laura's married? I couldn't tell at all. I can't believe you girls are married so soon.""I can't believe our campus belle is married. I haven't heard any news about it before.""Oh my god! My heart's broken.""Laura, I can't believe you're married. You haven't told us."When the people around them heard that Laura was married, they were all a little surprised. A lot of the boys deliberately put on a sad face to lighten up the mood."I just got married a while ago. We just got the marriage certificate. There was no wedding."The people around her were her university classmates, so when Laura spo
Chris squinted his eyes.Jessica had a big smile on her face. She would occasionally lean against the man, but the man wasn't Luke.Chris put one hand in his pocket and took out his phone with the other. He pointed the camera at Jessica and the man and took a picture.Meanwhile, in the private room on the second floor.Due to Prof. Wilson being quite old and everyone didn't want to tire him out, so they finished the meal quite early.Laura was walking out of the private room and at the same time she was calling Chris, asking him where he was.Emily came up beside her and unintentionally asked, "Laura, is your husband coming to pick you up?"Her voice was small, but instantly attracted a lot of attention.Jasmine walked over coquettishly with her 20-thousand-dollar bag. "Oh, Laura, what a coincidence. I was going to say that my husband is coming to pick me up in his new Ferrari. I was planning on giving you a lift. If your husband's coming to pick you up, then I won't need to gi
Jasmine's lips curved into a smile. A proud look appeared on her face. "Of course. My husband's car can sit four. We can accommodate one more person. Who wants a ride?""Me! Jasmine, I want a ride!""I want a ride too, Jasmine."A lot of people said that they wanted a ride on the Ferrari. After all, not everyone could afford such a luxury car. They would rarely get a chance to sit in one, let alone buy one."We can accommodate one more, Prof. Wilson, do you want a ride?" Jasmine walked up to Prof. Wilson and asked."I'm fine, thank you." Prof. Wilson shook his head. "I'll take the bus.""Prof. Wilson, we can give you a lift."A lot of people that came today might not be able to afford luxury cars, but a lot of them could still afford a normal family car. How could they let Prof. Wilson take the bus?Emily's attention was obviously not on the car. Instead, she was looking around and seemed to be looking for something.When she saw a familiar figure, her eyes lit up. "Laura, the
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
