Disgust flashed in Chris's eyes and his brows were furrowed.Jennifer felt that the middle-aged woman had a point. She turned to Laura and asked, "Laura, you've just started eating, right? Then we can sit together. There aren't empty seats here anymore. We would have to wait at least half an hour in a queue as well. We won't need to order another fish. We can just add some more side dishes and drinks. How about that?"Jennifer looked at the fish that was left on the table and the side dishes.The rest of the fish was enough for the three of them. They would be full after adding some side dishes. With Laura here, they wouldn't even have to pay the bill.Jennifer had a good plan in her mind. Before Laura could say yes, she already called for a waiter. "Waiter, please add three more sets of cutlery.""Wait," said Laura. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Holland. I think you should wait until we finish."Jennifer was dumbfounded. She couldn't believe her ears. "Laura, what's the meaning of this? You

When Laura was opening the box slowly, she didn't see what was inside, but Chris did.His grip tightened around the box of condoms. Chris hid the condoms under the pillow.Both of them would have to go to work the next day. Laura got up early to make breakfast.The weather was quite cold recently, so Laura didn't ride the electric scooter. Chris drove them to and from work.Not long after Laura arrived at the convenience store, a few familiar figures appeared outside.Laura was very calm when she saw them."Laura, what happened? What did you do yesterday?"Shona walked inside with a bag. Behind her was Jennifer and Jennifer's friend, the middle-aged woman from yesterday.Jennifer became furious the moment she saw Laura.Laura left yesterday without even telling them and left them to pay the bills.Those dishes had cost her over 100 dollars."I didn't do anything." Laura wiped the counter very calmly.Shona frowned and became a little impatient.Jennifer came to the Walker

Laura remained silent.What would happen to Jessica after she married Luke had nothing to do with her. She wasn't someone who would look for trouble. As long as Jessica didn't cause her trouble, she wouldn't do anything to Jessica.Shona smiled and nodded at Jennifer. "Of course, she will. Don't worry, Jennifer. Jessica will never suffer with us."Deep down, Shona didn't really like Jennifer. However, for the good of her son and the child in Jessica's womb, Shona forced a smile on her face.Jennifer was getting ready to leave. She was planning on finding Laura today and getting Laura to give her the money from yesterday. Otherwise, she wouldn't have felt comfortable.However, Jennifer was afraid that Laura was going to keep asking about Jessica's job at the Jacobs Group. If Laura really went to the Jacobs Group to look for Jessica, then things would get really complicated.Jennifer was about to leave when the middle-aged woman outside came back in."Jen, how are things going? Is

Shannon played along and brought out the card machine. She chuckled and said to Jennifer and the middle-aged woman, "Ladies, you don't look like you've brought a lot of cash. It's alright, we have a card machine here.""You're being unreasonable. I don't have any money and won't be paying for them. I don't want these things anymore!" the middle-aged woman shouted and threw the bags in her hand on the ground. She also kicked the bags as well. One of the bottles of alcohol shattered.Laura wasn't annoyed at all. "It's alright if you don't pay. Since you mugged the things from my store, the police are already here. I'll have to ask them to take you away to bring justice.""Don't worry, Ma'am. We will definitely treat everyone equally. We won't let any victim suffer."The police officer at the front nodded at the officers behind him. The officers got their order and walked towards Jennifer and the middle-aged woman."Ladies, please follow us.""What are you doing? What do you want?"

"Come with me right now and apologize to Jessica's mother. Give her back the 2400 dollars as well. She's my mother-in-law, that means she's yours as well. How dare you ask her for money when she just takes some things from you. Are you out of your goddamn mind?" Luke was absolutely furious. "If you're not coming with me, then Jessica's going to have an abortion and you'll be the murderer, you son of a bitch! How can I have a sister like you?"The cruel words came from Luke's mouth and stabbed into Laura's heart like daggers.Laura stood where she was and didn't do more. She felt a chill down her back.She did have problems with Luke in the past, but that all came from Luke asking her for money. He would always spend money recklessly. Once she found out, she would stop giving him money. Apart from that, Laura still cared about this brother of hers.When they were little, Nicholas had gone out to work and Shona liked going out and playing poker with her friends. Laura would be the on
