"I'll go with you to return the car then. Let's fill the tank up as well. There's a petrol station nearby, right?" Laura never liked owing anyone anything. Since they borrowed someone's car, then they should fill the tank up when they return it.Chris cocked his brows. It was obvious that he didn't expect Laura to think about so much. "Yes, there is a petrol station nearby."Chris took Laura with him to refuel the car and then headed back to the club."Wait for me in our car. I'll go return the keys."When Chris found Harry again with the keys, it startled Harry."Chris, since when are you so polite to me? I can't believe you're giving the keys back to me yourself. This is really a surprise."Harry thought that Chris would get one of his subordinates to bring him the keys. But Chris brought the keys back himself."Cut the small talk." Chris threw the keys back to Harry. "Don't stay out too late.""Okay!"Chris was used to Harry's playful attitude. Thinking that Laura was still
Laura couldn't help but shake her head. She just treated this as gossip. After all, it had nothing to do with her.When the two of them arrived home, Chris went to take a call and Laura went to have a shower.During the shower, when she touched her waist, he realized that there was a bruise.She hadn't noticed it before and it would hurt whenever she touched it.It should be from when Luke was dragging her across the floor and she accidentally bumped into something.After the shower, Laura got changed into her pajamas and opened the bathroom window to let some fresh air in. She then picked up the hairdryer and began to dry her hair.When Chris finished taking the call, he came into the bathroom to get something. Laura's pajamas weren't long, so when she lifted her arms, her waist would be exposed, revealing a patch of snow-white skin.Chris just happened to see this sight and he couldn't help but swallow. However, when he saw the bruise the next second, his face changed."What'
As soon as the thought came into her mind, it scared Laura.However, after thinking about it carefully, she felt that there was such a possibility.The whole of the Walker family, including Linda, cared a lot about Jessica's child.Linda might not have said anything, but Laura could tell from the way she treated Jessica that she still cared about Jessica. Laura felt that Linda quite looked forward to Jessica's child.However, if the child didn't belong to the Walker family...Laura fell silent. For a moment there, she had no idea what to do.However, she felt that even if she showed the photo to Shona and Luke, they wouldn't believe her. They would even end up in an argument again.She didn't want to have an argument every time she saw them. She didn't have the time or effort.However, for this matter, she didn't have to care about Shona and Luke's feelings. Neither did she care about the relationship between Luke and Jessica. It was just that Linda had been expectant for nothi
"God bless me! Please make sure my son will be fine. Hope he can fully recover."Every time Shona thought of how badly her son was beaten up yesterday, she would become very angry."Alright, stop pacing around. You're making me dizzy." Nicholas massaged his temples in frustration.He was on a business trip yesterday when Shona called him saying that his son was dying. He was so shocked that he immediately came back home.He thought it was a car crash or a work accident. After all, Luke worked in a factory and the machines there could be quite dangerous.In the end, Luke was beaten up and the person who did it was Nicholas's son-in-law as well."Do you think I like pacing around? I'm just worried and can't stop myself," Shona walked up to Nicholas and said angrily. "How are things going on your side? Can Chris be sent to jail or not?""I've contacted the police, but they said that the proof we've provided wasn't enough to prove Chris was the one who had hit Luke.""How can it no
The mention of Laura made Luke even more annoyed.He reached out and massaged his temples. He then picked up his phone from the bedside table and called Jessica.She seemed to be busy and only answered a while later."Hello, Jessica? Have you just woken up?" Luke's voice became soft when he was talking to Jessica. He seemed to be very careful as well. "Is our child alright? Please don't do anything stupid. Yeah, I'll be discharged this afternoon. I'll come find you then."The two of them talked on the phone. Luke seemed to not want to hang up, but Jessica seemed to have just woken up, so he had no choice but to hang up.After Luke hung up, Shona said, "Luke, you're hospitalized, but Jessica and her parents didn't say they were going to come and visit you?""Why the trouble? It's no big deal," said Luke. "Besides, Jessica's pregnant. The hospital is filled with the smell of chlorine. It isn't safe either. Why get Jessica to come?"Shona could tell that Luke was defending Jessica,
With that thought in mind, Zack couldn't help but feel happy."Then it must be one of Mr. Harry's subordinates, who secretly drove the car out. Mr. Jacobs, you can't keep such unloyal people around. It's best to fire him."Lewis nodded with a dark face. "Okay, I'll remind Harry."Zack was overjoyed as he followed behind Lewis into the Jacobs Group. Soon, he saw a familiar figure inside a convenience store."Mr. Jacobs, it's her! That's her!" Zack quickly said. "I didn't expect to see her here. It's her husband that has been driving Mr. Harry's car."Zack's words made Lewis stop dead in his tracks."What's her name again? I think it's Laura." Zack didn't notice the strange look on Lewis's face and continued, "Mr. Jacobs, I'll take you over right now.""There's no need." Lewis stopped Zack.'Isn't Laura's husband Chris? Harry is unwilling to lend his car to anyone, but he would be willing to lend his car to Chris. But I thought Chris didn't tell Laura about his identity. Why woul
Emily couldn't help but say, "Are all mistresses nowadays such show-offs?"Whenever she thought of how much of a show-off Jasmine was being, she felt annoyed.Emily glanced at Laura and asked, "Laura, do you think we should tell others about this? We can work together in the group chat and expose Jasmine for who she really is.""Let's not do that." Laura shook her head.She wasn't interested in other people's matters."Why?" Emily gave Laura a puzzled look. "She was clearly against you last night at the gathering, can't you tell? Don't you want to get back at her?"Laura smiled. "There's no need to make a fuss about it."She could tell Jasmine was against her, but there were a lot of people in this world who didn't like her. Jasmine and her wouldn't normally see each other anyway. There was no need to waste time and effort.Emily fell silent and didn't say another word. A few seconds later, she smiled and changed the subject. "Do you have time tonight, Laura? You get your husba
Her voice was loud. When Emily heard what she said, her eyes lit up instantly. She quickly headed inside the convenience store and led Laura outside. “Laura, come with me. There’s a good show to watch.”Laura felt puzzled, but since Emily was dragging her outside, she had no choice but to follow Emily out.When Zack heard the woman’s voice, he froze. He turned around with a look of disbelief on his face. That was when he saw his wife walking angrily towards him from a short distance away.This caused Zack’s face to turn pale and he quickly took back his hand which was wrapped around Jasmine’s waist.“Honey, what brings you here?”“What brings me here? If I hadn’t come here, I wouldn’t have found out that you’re seeing a mistress behind my back!”Zack’s wife was quite chubby, strong and had a tall figure. She walked up to Jasmine with a furious expression on her face. She then slapped Jasmine in the face. “You whore! You’re still young but all you do is seduce men! Let me teach yo
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
