Chapter 5 Released from Prison, I Become My Ex-Boyfriend's Sister-in-Law

Her speech gave rise to heated discussions.

Laura's eyes went dim. Darn it, wasn't it limitless?

Leila poked her shoulder and stressed her tone, "Follow the rules and kneel."

"Will I win if I swipe another 1.5 million?" Laura grasped her phone and asked.

"Yes, but do you think that's possible?"

Laura smiled. Worth a try! She didn't want to lose to Leila.

She dialed a phone number. With the beeping sound, her heart jumped to her throat. As soon as the line was through, her eyes lit up.

"Honey." Laura changed her tone and said sweetly.

In reflex, Jackson checked the caller ID. Although the number was not in the directory, he recognized her voice and frowned, "Laura, are you sick?"

"Yeah, I am; otherwise, why do you keep popping up in my mind?"

Jackson felt a shiver and got goosebumps, "Nuts."

As he was about to hang up, she hurriedly spoke, "Honey, Reid wants us to eat at home tonight!"

Laura stressed her tone when Reid was mentioned and continued, "But... I don't have money. The present costs three million yuan..."

When she finished her speech, she felt weak and could imagine Jackson's long face.

"You need treatment." He hung up without hesitation.

Laura heaved a sigh inwardly, glanced at Leila indifferently, and demanded coldly, 'Swipe it again."

Leila's hands were shaking. She had never expected Laura to hook up with a rich man. Did he know that she was a murderer? Probably not! Heh! Laura, your good days were over.

The transaction was a success, and the bills were printed.

Her legs felt weak. How... how could she kneel to Laura?

"Leila, come on, face the music." Cecilia folded her arms on her chest and looked at her smugly.

Laura tilted her head and waited for Leila's action. Her eyes were filled with the pleasure of revenge.

"What's going on here?" Sean Howe pushed his way through the crowd and squeezed in.

Laura's heart gave a physical lurch, and she clenched her fists so tightly that heat was generated within.

Sean, her ex-boyfriend, was here.

"Darling, you're here!" A flash of malignity crossed her eyes. Leila rushed to the man, held onto his arm, and kissed him on the cheek.

Laura's nails dug into her flesh. They... were together?

"Babe, what's going on here?" Sean asked indulgently.

Leila looked at the crowd with a smile, "Just playing; everyone will get his premium membership, and don't tell others!"

After giving out the memberships, she instructed the shop assistants to go out.

"Honey, allow me to introduce him." She grabbed his hand and led him to Laura.

Sean nodded his head. The moment he saw his ex-girlfriend, the smile on his face froze. "Laura... Laura, you're out of jail?" He asked in disbelief.

Laura's heart throbbed. She didn't mind him finding another woman, but why Leila?

"Laura," Cecilia called out in dismay.

Soon after she was imprisoned, the unfaithful man hooked up with Leila. She planned to tell Laura when the time was proper. Unexpectedly, they ran into each other.

"I'm okay." Laura curled up her lips with difficulty and strode away.

Leila heaved with joy like a queen.

"Shame on you." Cecilia took the bank card and went after her friend.

"Laura." With a longing face, Sean tried to explain, but Leila pulled him back.

"Sean, before you rekindle your lost love, don't forget what you did. If she found out your deception, do you think she would let you off? Besides, she has found herself a sugar daddy. She is no longer innocent."

The distressed man looked in the direction Laura left. Disillusioned, he sat down in a padded chair, "Leila, now that she is back, you should get the copyright of that drama as soon as possible."

"Don't worry; the copyright is already in my hands. Even if Laura found out we stole her script, she couldn't do anything about it." Leila rested her head on his shoulder and pictured her rise to fame.

Laura, you were out of jail, so what? You would still be trodden underfoot by me. And you'd better pray that I couldn't find your paymaster since I had a tape of the murder scene!

Holding the railing, Laura gasped for breath. It felt like countless ants were gnawing at her heart, and every breath carried unbearable pain.

She was once seriously ill when she was a child. After that, she began to reject the outside world, and her peers saw her as a weirdo. Sean was the only one willing to play with her. When they grew up, they naturally fell in love.

He used to be her sweet love. Then one day, she suddenly found that things were not as she imagined. The young spark back then had turned into a different person.

Laura straightened up, let out a deep breath, and remembered her mission.

She walked slowly and felt her calves aching, probably because she hadn't run so vigorously for a long time.

"Hey, watch out." Someone grabbed her arm and pulled her back before a plant pot dropped right in front of her. The dirt-stained her feet and pieces of porcelain were scattered around.

Laura swallowed in shock. Her head was that close to being smashed.

"Are... are you alright?" The voice of a man came from behind and brought her back to reality.

"I'm okay, thank you." An appalled Laura smelt blood and felt sick, "Well, your foot is bleeding."

Wade Stout lowered his head, smiled, and pulled out the fragment, "It's okay. I'll be an excellent policeman someday, and this is nothing."

Her stomach churned, and her feet felt weak as the smell of blood grew stronger.

"Eh, are you alright?" In reflex, Wade supported her, immediately noticed his improper behavior, and drew back his hand. "Laura, you spent three million yuan of my money to see your little lover here?" Another voice suddenly came from behind, and her body stiffened.

Jackson... no way!

Wade hurriedly waved his hand and explained, "I just met this lady and have a girlfriend. Please don't misunderstand."

Laura nodded vigorously. Although Jackson had no feelings for her, men's terrible desire to control would not allow their wives to interact too much with the outside world. Powerful people like Jackson were more likely to act in this way.

Jackson sized her up, "Do people hug at their first meeting? He is a college boy. Laura, know some shame."
