Baby Robbie pushed away the female students surrounding him and walked in front of Laurel. “Miss Laurel, do you know where the young lady with the lily pin in her hair got this necklace from?” Laurel shook her head. The shining gaze in Baby Robbie’s eyes dulled at once. He waved at the female students around him and said, “You guys should go ahead. I’d better look for the owner of the necklace somewhere else.” After Baby Robbie left, the students dispersed as well.However, Laurel stood there. She continued staring at Baby Robbie for some time.When Baby Robbie turned a corner and walked to another road, she suddenly chased after him.Nevertheless, halfway there, a few gangsters suddenly held her back. They smiled slyly and said, “Laurel, your brother owes us a sum of money, but we can’t find him anywhere. As his sister, shouldn’t you help him repay his debt to us?” “I don’t have any money.” Laurel’s gaze trailed after Baby Robbie. She stared at the gangsters impatient
Laurel then ordered them, “There’s a public toilet over there. You guys can hide there. I’ll look for clothes for you.” The few men did not trust what she said. “Do you have money to buy clothes for us?” Laurel smiled at them. She then ran away in a hurry. After some time, Laurel ran back to them with a large bag of clothes in her hands. She then threw the bag at the gangsters and said, “Put them on.” The gangsters were extremely shocked. These clothes seemed to be brand new. They were of considerable quality as well. Laurel came from an extremely poor family. Her family suffered from terrible poverty. Where did she get the money to buy so many clothes?” “Laurel, does your brother know that you have money?” one of the gangsters asked. “Does your brother know that you’re perfectly capable and not as poor as you seem? another gangster asked. Laurel rapped her knuckles against their heads and chastised them, “How dare you ask about your boss’ personal affairs?” The
A gaze of intense hatred appeared in Hecate’s eyes. “Madam Angeline, you look down on me because of my lowly family background, right? I’m not good enough for the Ares family, right?” Angeline shook her head and said, “You’re wrong. I’ve never looked down on you because of your family background. The children from the military intelligence division all come from incomplete families. However, I’d be overjoyed if any of them and Baby Robbie develop a liking for each other. I don’t like you because you have no idea how to love someone at all. It has nothing to do with your lowly family background.“I’m Baby Robbie’s mommy. The only requirement I have for my daughter-in-law is for her to be someone who loves Baby Robbie wholeheartedly. You’re incapable of doing that.” “I do love him,” Hecate shouted out. “If you really do love him, why did you put him in a position where he was forced to go against his friends and family? How could you make him unhappy every day?” Angeline question
Angeline said in a gentle tone, “Kid, move away. You’re still young. You still have a long life in front of you. There’s no need for you to sacrifice your life for an old woman like me. I’ve lived a long life. I’ve seen everything in the world that I’d like to see. I’ve enjoyed all the love that I’d like to receive as well. I won’t have any regrets even if I die here today.” Laurel turned around to look at Angeline. Her obsidian black eyes were clear and bright. “Madam Angeline, if you die here today, just imagine how tormented the people who are still alive would be. You’re a kind and generous person. There must be a lot of people who love you dearly. Even if you aren’t willing to think for yourself, you should think about them.” Angeline was slightly stunned. She stared at the girl in front of her. She was thin and petite with tanned skin. However, her eyes were deep and dark. She spoke in an extremely straightforward manner as well. She was a clever person who was capable of se
Angeline shook her head in exasperation. She felt extremely disappointed in Hecate. She lost her patience when she spoke up once again. “You keep expecting other people to treat you nicely, but you’ve never considered the fact that no one will ever treat someone else nicely without any reason. If you want others to treat you nicely, you’ll have to put effort into your relationships. That way, others will naturally treat you well.” Hecate remained silent. Angeline left Hecate behind and walked in front of Laurel. A worried expression appeared on her face when she saw the wound on her arm. “Kid, your arm is injured. Come to Tourmaline Estate with me. I’ll help you bandage your wound.” Laurel waved her hand at once. “It’s alright. It’s a light injury. I can take care of it myself.” Angeline then grabbed her hand and said, “You got injured because of me. I must thank you. Come with me to Tourmaline Estate. My daughters will be extremely grateful to you.” An ambiguous look ap
Whitney fixed her stare on Laurel as her gaze exuded a sense of comfort. “Laurel, they’re the foster daughters that my daddy and mommy adopted into the family. They’re all brave heroines. You’ll definitely get along well with them.” The girls stared at Laurel happily. They all gossipped among themselves. “This young girl looks extremely familiar,” Lil Ten said with a chuckle. Sis Andy chuckled and said, “It’s Miss Laurel’s first time meeting us. How could we be familiar with each other?”Lil Ten said, “Although I’ve never seen her before, she seems extremely friendly. Besides, she’s a fan of martial arts as well. Therefore, she gives off a strong sense of familiarity.” “You’re right, Lil Ten. Miss Laurel likes fighting for justice. She has a really likable personality. Why don’t we treat her like our younger sister?” Sis Andy suggested.Sis Rosie stared at Rosie. She suddenly chuckled and said, “Sis Andy, you’d like to treat Miss Laurel like your sister because you like her.
After hearing what Whitney said, Baby Robbie grabbed her arm excitedly and shook her forcefully. “Sister-in-law, tell me. Where’s she? Where’s she?” Jostling her as he shook her violently, Whitney sighed in exasperation, “Baby Robbie, stop shaking me around. Let me tell you everything slowly.” Baby Robbie immediately stopped shaking Whitney and stared at her obediently. Whitney could not help but tease him when she noticed how obedient he was. “I’m thirsty,” mused Whitney.“Wait for me here, sister-in-law. I’ll get a cup of water for you,” said Baby Robbie before he quickly rushed away.Soon after, Baby Robbie returned with a cup of water. “Drink some water, sister-in-law.” After Whitney took a sip of water, Baby Robbie asked, “Sister-in-law, are your shoulders sore? Would you like me to give you a massage?” Whitney burst out laughing, “Baby Robbie, just how much do you like her? You’re willing to step down from your high and mighty pedestal just for her sake.” Baby Ro
Baby Robbie threw the rock with a calculated force, not too light yet not too harsh to be of any threat to Sis Andy. After all, Laurel might not even step up to save Sis Andy. Therefore, the rock should not severely injure Sis Andy even if it did hit her,The rock shot towards Sis Andy rapidly. Just as it was about to hit Sis Andy’s head, Miss Laurel swiftly rose to catch the rock before turning around and hurtling it back from where it came from.Baby Robbie was too focused on Laurel’s reaction to dodge the rock that hurtled back at him. He noticed the shock in Laurel’s gaze that was soon replaced with worry.“Be careful, Baby Robbie,” called out Sis Andy. Her voice was so loud that it overpowered Laurel’s voice. However, Baby Robbie could read what she was saying from the shape of her lips. “Baby Robbie, move away,” shouted Laurel.The rock hit Baby Robbie firmly on the head and blood instantly streamed down the side of his head... Baby Robbie touched the red fluid on
