Now was the best time for her to play.
A flash of smug triumph flickered in Laura’s eyes.
Yet she concealed her cunning sneer with her best acting skills since she knew that her every effort would be ruined if she had her true intention known by others when she was now living with Helena.
“Then, where are you going to stay tonight?” Laura’s narration of her recent story convinced Helena that her daughter really could find nowhere to stay.
“Well, I…” Laura pretended to be embarrassed by the question.
Helena then further believed that Laura had no place to live.
As her mother, Helena must help Laura.
However, Helena realized that she was actually not capable of helping her financially. Then, after turning over the situation for a while, she put forward a suggestion.
“Laura, how about living here with me?” Helena was also worried that Laura would refuse her proposal since they were now in a nursing home.
Yet, it was unexpected that Laura accepted the suggestion.
“Thanks, mom,” Laura answered smilingly.
Laura’s “thanks” sounded more beautiful and passionate than Helena’s “sit down”.
“Well, there is only one bed in my room, so take the money to buy a new one.”
Now that Laura agreed to stay there, Helena must solve the bed problem since there was no more available bed in her room.
Therefore, she took a thousand out from the gap between the woods under her mattress.
Knowing that girls favored beds with delicate designs, Helena gave Laura a thousand so that she could buy a beautiful bed.
“OK,” Laura was now too poor to afford a new bed, so she accepted the money.
The money creased and smelled moldy.
Laura suppressed her frown and bit her complaint back.
Indeed, Laura did not like the money Helena offered and, what’s more, she hated Helena.
She hated Helena from the moment when she knew that Helena was her biological mother.
However, now she knew that Helena could still help her to carry out her plan, so she would not show her hatred yet.
Therefore, Laura faked a happy smile.
There was a sound complaining in her brain: How could I afford a beautiful bed with only one thousand? She must be kidding me.
Whereas, she only dared to complain secretly and it was impossible for her to show her real feelings now.
“Well, mom, I will go to buy a bed now,” Laura left the room after Helena nodded.
No matter how much Laura disliked Helena and her money, she used these one thousand to buy an ordinary bed.
According to her, if it was not for a place to sleep that night, she would never lie her body on such a cheap bed.
In the meantime, she thought that Andre should be responsible for solving her financial problem since they were partners now.
So Laura immediately told Andre the whole story. Then, he gave her a cheque.
Andre believed that money could solve all the problems in the world and he was willing to spend every penny he had to win Clara’s love.
“Here is 200 thousand. Contact me if you need more,” he gave her a cheque and left.
He did not want to be with Laura since he found it uncomfortable to talk with her.
So he would avoid seeing her as much as possible.
Similarly, Laura would also avoid seeing him unless she needed more money since she was busy with her plan.
Clara and Horace also lived a boring routine life every day. There were only two places that Horace would go-his home and the company.
Horace only spent a period of time staying home accompanying Clara when they just became good again. Yet, he could not do the same thing now.
After all, he still needed to run the company and take care of his family.
If he did not work hard, he could not set a good example for Neo.
He knew that his son would work as hard as him in the future only if he could set an example for him now.
Whenever thinking about his son, Horace would work much harder.
The previous divulge of the important files led to some business crises, so Horace, together with the whole company, was more than busy now, trying his best to make up for the loss.
He knew that it was impossible for him to stay home for a longer time since he needed to monitor the operation of the company.
Laura was also busying herself with the preparation for her plan-she needed to find another ally.
Therefore, she went to the jail for Sean again that day.
“Excuse me, I’m here for Sean Kirkland.”
Laura greeted and told the police the one she wanted to see. Then, she entered the jail.
Laura was the first guest that Sean had ever had since he was put into jail. Yet, according to him, she was an unexpected and unwanted guest.
“What are you doing here?” eyebrows knitted, Sean asked.
“Sean, I’m here to see if you are fine,” Laura answered in a soft tone.
Yet, he did not believe her. He knew that she would never step into the jail for him if she did not want something from him.
“Tell me what you want,” Sean stared at Laura with his arms crossing on the table.
“Well, one never goes to a temple for nothing. I indeed want something from you,” Laura took off her sunglasses and stared at Sean seriously.
“I want you to help me topple Horace. We can work together to destroy Solrace,” said she, rage flaming in her eyes.
Laura’s words startled Sean. He did not dare to believe what he heard. After pondering Laura’s words for a few more seconds, he realized that Laura indeed wanted to take down Solrace.
“Why?” In Sean’s impression, Laura loved Horace very much, so he was now puzzled by her intention. Did she turn to hate Horace because she loved him so much yet she could not win his love?
“Because I want to prove to him that I’m the one who loves him the most in the world. I will let him know that my love for him will never change even if he had nothing.”
Laura said with determination. Sean was shocked by Laura’s abnormal love for Horace.
Only with such a profound love could someone act in this way.
“Even though he had nothing, I’m still the one who loved him the most.”
Her attitude and love shocked Sean.
“Are you sure?” Sean asked her again to make sure whether she really wanted to do so.
To be honest, he could help her and it did not do him any harm.
Instead, he could even benefit from it. At this, Sean snickered.
If Laura was determined and serious about her plan, he would be quite willing to help her.
Why not be a Santa Claus helping her to realize her dream if she really loved Horace so much?
Yet, Laura kept silent for a long while.
She finally spoke when Sean began to doubt her determination.
