Chapter 7 Laura Being Hit

Author: The Kitten
"Mom, I don't have so much money at the moment."

Laura had only graduated for a year. For the first six months, Shona would order her to hand over half of her wage every time she was paid. For the next six months, her grandmother had fallen ill, so Laura spent most of her money on her grandmother.

She really didn't have any savings left over.

"You don't have money? Who are you trying to fool?" said Shona as she walked over in an attempt to pinch Laura's ear. However, Laura was able to avoid Shona's hand. "How dare you avoid my hand, you bitch? I've asked around. The business of this convenience store is very good. I don't believe that you won't be able to spare 20 thousand dollars! Let me tell you this, my son needs this money to get married. If you dare delay his wedding, then I'll skin you alive!"

Shona's words made Laura's heart ache.

Ever since Laura was little, she had never received any love from her mother. She was even forced to marry someone she didn't know for her brother's bride price. However, Shona was her mother after all. Shona did raise her.

Laura still had to show filial piety towards Shona, but that didn't mean she would agree to an endless number of unreasonable requests.

"Mom, I might be the store manager, but this store doesn't belong to me. I'm also an employee."

Laura's wage consisted of a basic wage plus commission. She still had to pay for the bread and milk she ate every morning.

However, Shona didn't believe Laura's words. To Shona, Laura was selfish and unfilial. She felt that Laura just didn't want to give her any money.

"Alright then. Since you don't have any money..." Shona looked around her, reached out and threw everything on the ground. "Since you don't have any money, fine!"

"Stop it!" Laura shouted angrily.

Shannon entered the store joyfully, but when she saw the state of the store, her face changed. She then threw her bag at the person who caused all of this. "Stop it! Where did this crazy old woman come from? How dare she throw things of the store on the ground?"

Shannon reached out to push Shona. She didn't use much force, but Shona still fell to the ground.

"Look, everyone! My daughter joined with others to bully me! Everybody take a look!" Shona screamed on the ground.

Some passersby were planning on coming to the store to buy some things, but when they saw such a scene, they hesitated before turning around and leaving.

What Shona was doing was seriously affecting the store's business.

Shannon was dumbfounded after hearing Shona's words. She looked at Shona, then at Laura. "Miss Walker, she's your mother?"

'The two of them look nothing alike,' she thought.

Laura nodded.

"I do apologize, Mrs. Walker. I... I..." Shannon walked over and wanted to help Shona up, but Shona slapped her hand away. This caused her hand to immediately turn red.

"Shannon, leave her!" Laura snorted. "Tidy the things up. Count the number of goods that were damaged and put it on my bill. I'll pay for them."

Shannon hesitated before nodding.

Laura stood in front of Shona and lowered her head. "Are you going to leave by yourself or do you want me to call the police?"

"Call the police? How dare you call the police?" Shona climbed up from the ground and slapped Laura in the face. "You ungrateful bitch! I can't believe you just said that you're going to call the police!"

At the top floor of the Jacobs Group.

Assistant Jacobs knocked on the door of the CEO's office.

"Mr. Jacobs, someone is causing trouble in the convenience store downstairs."

When Chris arrived downstairs, he saw a middle-aged woman standing in the store and behaving madly. The woman was shouting and cursing.

Laura was standing not too far away. She bit her lip and didn't do or say anything. Her fists on either side of her were tightly clenched.

Chris looked at the bodyguard behind him.

"You ungrateful bitch! Let me tell you..."

Before Shona could finish what she was saying, the bodyguard who had been behind Chris had already arrived next to her and grabbed hold of her.

    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.

    "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
