Lauren shook her head and said, "No, how could I take advantage of Chelsea? Besides, I don't have the time or interest to manage those things.""But Chelsea doesn't have the money, right?" I asked, and suddenly, it became clear to me.Smiling, she said, "After we completed all the procedures, I told Chelsea to take over the house. However, Chelsea told me that she couldn't afford it. I suggested getting a loan because the bank had a support policy then. I secretly had her go to Oliver, and the loan was arranged."This turned out just as I expected."Chelsea has solved all her worries because it was a no-interest policy, and the principal could be repaid in five years. She doesn't have to deal with the landlord, and repaying the loan was easy! In the end, she got this house. Chelsea gained with no loss," Lauren said casually.I smiled and said, "No wonder Chelsea loves you so much! Why didn't I meet you earlier? When I was in the construction business, my funds occasionally ran dry

A hoarse voice spoke, "Lauren, I know I was wrong. Give me another chance, and I can give you everything you said. We can get married, have children, and live the life you want!"Both of us were stunned. Lauren turned her face away, quickly wiping her tears.Standing at the door was Oliver Hansen.Neither of us knew how long he had been standing there. However, it appeared that he overheard our conversation.The three of us stayed silent, and only our breathing could be heard.After a while, it was Lauren who broke the silence. She looked at Oliver with a distant expression and said, "I don't want to see you. Can you please not disturb us while we're having dinner? Thank you!"Mr. Oliver glanced at me and apologized, "Ms. Chloe, could you please excuse us? I'd like to talk to Lauren."I quickly nodded and said, "Of course!"As I was about to get up and leave, Lauren grabbed my arm and coldly said, "Chloe, if you walk out of this room today, we are no longer friends. Our relatio

The woman's eyes narrowed and she gave Lauren a hostile glance.Lauren lifted her eyebrows in defiance.The woman smiled with disdain and said, “This is a case of birds of a feather. Both of you are skilled at seducing men. You are truly the degenerates of society!"These remarks implied that she must be familiar with us.The woman shifted her gaze to my face and sarcastically said, "You should learn the lesson from her bad example. Behave yourself!"I said confidently, "Don't be so snarky in front of me, no matter who you are. You will only embarrass yourself!"The woman said, "Well, let's wait and see. Don't be too confident.""You behave in such a weird way, yet I'm not afraid. You should be more sensible and avoid looking for trouble. It's better to keep your mouth shut," I warned her.“Good luck to you!” She glanced at me threateningly, then turned and walked out of the boutique.The salesperson in the boutique had already packed our items.Lauren asked the salesperson,

Atticus walked to my office and sat across from me."Have you been in Foswood all this time?" I asked. I knew he hadn’t attended the court session today, but I was sure he had some representatives there."Yeah," he responded lightly, "You changed the strategy?"I knew he was asking about the court trial."Melvern Sunny stepped in for her, so we could only resolve the issue with Matthew, though it may not benefit her," I said. "You were right. Melvern is coming for you!""He's afraid I'll break free," Atticus pointed out."But Liora has already been cast aside. I just received accurate information this morning that Melvern's source of funds is unclean, so it looks like he’s adopting a two-pronged approach. Atlas has promised to support you wholeheartedly, too,” I didn't hide Atlas’s meaning.Atticus's eyes brightened."Please thank him for me," Atticus said politely."Melvern hasn't found the best way to deal with you yet. Otherwise, he wouldn't hesitate to let go of Liora. But

When I saw Michelle Manson, I was impressed with her persistence despite myself.I moaned quietly, “Oh, she looks like she works here!"She noticed me as soon as I walked out and quickly approached me.Coincidentally, my phone rang with a call from Laurie, who wanted to tell me that Michelle was still downstairs.I could only helplessly reply, "You're a little late with that information."She joked, "Well, good luck to you then! Or should I come back and rescue you?"I smiled faintly. "There’s no need for that. I need to face her at some point."Michelle was standing next to me as I said that.I ended the call and looked at her unfriendly, asking, "Just get straight to the point. Don't beat around the bush. You’re putting pressure on me. Speak! What is it?"Michelle grinned shamelessly and said, "Actually, it’s nothing urgent. I just wanted to invite you for a meal and a chat.""If it’s nothing urgent, let's skip the meal. I'm busy every day and barely spend time at home. On
