Laura’s Victory Second Chance

David suddenly felt insulted. He had never encountered someone so brazen

“Laura is my daughter; you can’t just take her away without a reason. If you don’t give me an explanation, I’ll call the police right away. David said, trying to salvage some dignity

Cedric laughed, his expression filled with mockery. “Daughter? Mr. Sharpe, do party, I thought it was clear to everyone what Laura truly means to you.”

Laura nearly blushed, but managed to be calm. She cleared her throat. “I’ll be staying elsewhere for a while, Dad, Mom, there’s no need to worry.

“Lau, why is he calling you Mrs. Ryan? Don’t fall for those men’s sweet words–they’re all just wolves in sheep’s clothing” David shouted.

But Laura had already gotten into the car, and the four tall bodyguards blocked the path. David could only watch helplessly as the three cars drove

away.

David’s face was full of concern. Im sure that Mr. Ryan is after Godfrey Group’s shares!”

“David, what are we going to do? Lau is so young, and those men out there are good at manipulating women. Laura was betrayed by Robert, and we’ve neglected her. If someone showed her a little kindness, she might easily be tricked, Emma said, worried.

That man is truly something. If he makes a move for the shares, we don’t stand much of a chance. That old fox Alistair left the choice to his daughter. If Laura insists on transferring the shares to someone else, we won’t be able to stop her, David replied.

Emma began to panic. “We already returned her the card. If she transfers the shares to someone else, we’ll end up with nothing!”

While David and Emma were afraid that Laura might be manipulated by some random guy, Olivia was more concerned about the fact that the man had spent several billion dollars on Laura’s birthday party. She was certain he was very generous with Laura on a regular basis.

Even though Godfrey Group’s shares are valuable, they could not be liquidated immediately, and even if they could, the man’s expenses were exorbitant

From Olivia’s perspective, spending money would be enough to win a woman’s heart. But this man had invested more than just money–l in thought. Those eighteen gifts were nearly priceless.

-he’d put

Olivia began to realize that the man’s true target wasn’t the shares, but Laura herself. The three cars that had just taken Laura away were each worth tens of millions of dollars, and all of them were limited editions.

Olivia had gone to great lengths to seduce Robert, only to find that Laura had quickly found herself a man of such power. However, David and Emma were still focused on those shares and expected her to yield to Laura constantly.

Humiliation and jealousy filled Olivia’s heart, especially when she thought of Laura’s haughty demeanor. It made her sick. Moreover, the party that was supposed to ruin Laura’s reputation had instead damaged Olivia’s

“Liv, what are you thinking about! I’ve called you several times, Emma said, nudging her.

Olivia snapped back to reality, “Mom, what is it?”

“Liv, your dad and I both feel that Laura hasn’t forgiven you for your affair with Robert, Emma said

Olivia was cursing them inwardly, but outwardly she maintained a sorrowful expression. “Yes, it’s all

“One meal won’t be enough to appease Laura. We think you should find a good time to apologize properly.” David said.

“How do you want me to apologize” Olivia asked.

David looked at her with a sympathetic expression. “Unless you make some sacrifices, Laura won’t forgive you Liv, you might have to little hardship”

“Dad, Mom, it’s okay. As long as Laura isn’t upset, I’ll do whatever it takes, Olivia said through gritted teeth, thinking to herself, ‘Once I get those shares, I’ll kill Laura. No, I’ll make her wish she were dead!

Laura left the Sharpe residence without any intention of returning. Telling them to renovate the room was just an excuse–she h there again.

had no plans to live

The Sharpe family was nothing but a pack of beasts in human form, and the thought of living with them made her sick.

As they drove, Laura spotted a road sign ahead. “You can drop me off at the next corner,” she said.

Cedric glanced at her, arms crossed. “Mr. Ryan is still waiting for you at home.”

“I’ll visit Mr. Ryan later, but right now, I need to find a place to stay,” Laura replied.

“You’re not going to live with Mr. Ryan?” Cedric asked, surprised.

Laura smiled. “How can I live with him before we’re married? Here, this is the place.

Cedric had assumed Laura, now that she had caught Easton’s attention, wouldn’t want to let go. But to his surprise, she promptly found a real estate agent and rented an apartment on the spot, signing the lease immediately.

She chose a luxury apartment in a high–end district, knowing full well she was now a billionaire with 700 million dollars in cash. In her previous life, she hadn’t had the chance to enjoy her properties, but this time, she wouldn’t waste the opportunity.

Without hesitation, Laura had the bodyguards help her with shopping and setting up the apartment. It wasn’t until sunset that she let them leave. Cedric, who had originally come just to pick Laura up, ended up spending the whole afternoon cleaning, leaving him dusty and exhausted.

“Thanks” Laura tossed him an apple, which he caught subconsciously.

“Are

you sure you won’t come back with me? Cedric asked.

Til invite Mr. Ryan over once I’ve settled in. Here, take this cake to him for me. Laura handed Cedric a small cake she’d bought from the supermarket.

In the sunset, with sweat glistening on her brow, Laura’s smile was warmed by the golden light.

Before Cedric could say anything, Laura shut the door. Cedric, still somewhat dazed, left. He was determined to tell Easton that once his vision was restored, he would be able to see Laura’s stunning smile.

Back at the castle, a small cake sat on the dining table as Cedric stood respectfully behind Easton, reporting everything that had happened. “Mr. Ryan, are you sure you don’t want me to bring Ms. Godfrey back?” Cedric asked.

“No. Leave her be,” Easton replied calmly.

“I’m just worried that she might get tricked by that scumbag again. If she’s not under our watch… Cedric continued,

Easton interrupted, his tone careless. “What flavor is the cake?”

“Blueberry, Cedric answered.

Behind the black veil, Easton’s long eyelashes fluttered slightly. He rested his hand on the armrest of his wheelchair, recalling that the cake from the morning had also been blueberry flavored. He had never told her his preferences and thus he was curious how she knew he liked blueberry cake Easton was lost in thought when he suddenly heard Daniel’s exaggerated voice. “Easton, I heard you spent several billion dollars buying all those gowns and sent over a dozen gifts to that girl I guess you’re not so bad at pleasing girls. Come on, tell me, where are you hiding her?”

Daniel approached, dressed in a light blue shirt and jeans, his style completely different from Easton’s.

plueberry cake! ||

Just in time, I haven’t eaten yet. It’s mine now, Daniel said, taking a bite.

“Cedric, throw him out and feed him to the alligators, Easton said icily.

“Easton, don’t! I just took one bite. See? You can still have it Jeez, all that fuss over a small piece of cake! Now, let me check your eyes, Daniel said Easion spoke slowly, “And my legs. I want to walk again”

He no longer wanted to be disabled. He wanted to see Laura, to be with her, and to hold her in his arms.

Daniel grinned. “So you’ve finally come around.”
