Laurel was going to do that.
“Your sweethearts Bruno and Hayden were both in trending topics!”
“Who told you that Bruno is my sweetheart?” Laurel said in a fit of anger.
“Do you mean you prefer Hayden?” Shelley teased her.
“Shelley!” Laurel didn’t know what to say to her.

“Is the Relationship Not Worth It? Bruno Is Unwilling to Marry Laurel at a Dear Price”
“Hayden Squanders Money as Usual. A 5-million-dollar Gem Was Given away at Will”
This was the first time Hayden had become the center of trending topics not for his affairs. The news
even became the headlines of the economy and daily life-related topics. There were both positive and
negative opinions of him.
And this was also Bruno’s first time being mocked and belittled.
Bruno’s face darkened when he saw the news!
In the past, he was always praised while this time, the media picked on him and said that he didn’t love
Laurel enough and that he was so mean that he wasn’t as perfect as others said. They even talked
about the Scott family’s financial condition, saying that they had problems in their capital chain./
It was because of these problems that Bruno was so desperate to marry Laurel to get unconditional
finance. However, when everything was going to be done, Hayden almost destroyed Bruno’s plan.
What angered Bruno even more was that when the share. market opened, the Scott Group’s share
price plummeted. To stabilize the share price, the Scott Group had to mobilize massive money, which
put the company in a worse situation.

the Gilbert family with their fortune combined. Hayden could never have a chance to turn things
around.
And once he had the Lambert family in hand, he would have the resources to make the Scott family
hold a large fortune. for generations.
Bruno smiled sinisterly when thinking about this.
He would return the humiliation he suffered today thousandfold!
In the Lambert’s place.
Laurel was reading the trending topics and found them interesting.
Shelley called her again. “Did you read them?”
“I did,” answered Laurel. “Why are you so excited?”
“I’m excited for you!” Shelley said with confidence. “I thought you had bad taste in the past and was
going to talk to you, but I suddenly find you so sharp-sighted. You can actually notice something good
about a super sc um like Hayden.”

Laurel couldn’t tell if Shelley was praising her.
She said, “My relationship with Hayden isn’t what you think.”
“Then, what’s it like?” Shelley was intrigued.
“You’ll know later.”
“Are you hiding things from me? Laurel, you’ve changed!” Shelley complained.
Yeah.
She changed.
She became revengeful!
“Well.” Something occurred to Shelley. “Nathan returned.”
“Really?” answered Laurel.
She remembered that Nathan Deacon came back a few days.

But she wasn’t sure.
“He came back without making a sound last night. It scared the hell out of me. The point is…” Shelley
held it back in the end.
Laurel was interested.
“Anyway, he must be back with ill intentions. He must have returned to take my family properties away!”

The one fighting over her family properties with her wasn’t his brother, but the one Shelley had been
loving.
But Laurel thought that it would take time for Shelley to believe in this.
“Since you don’t want Nathan to snat ch your family properties away, go work in the company.
Everything will be fine if you control the company, right?”
“Well…” Shelley didn’t continue.
Obviously, she preferred enjoying herself to working.
Shelley stammered, “I have Paul with me. He can hold my family together!”
Shelley was the same as the past version of Laurel.
Shelley was too simple-minded.
Laurel said, “You should consider my advice. That’s all. My grandmother calls.”
She indeed received a call.
“What good news are you expecting from your
grandmother?” said Shelley in anger.
There was no good news.
That was why Laurel needed time to handle these people!

voice carried obvious displeasure.
Laurel held back her anger with the phone in her hand.

the one doted on. All these years, Laurel had been avoiding Wendy like her father.
But she reincarnated.
She didn’t want to put up with Wendy at all.
“Grandma, why are you looking for me?”
“Get back to the old house!” Wendy hung up after saying this.
Laurel’s face darkened.
She thought it was time to teach Wendy a lesson!
Otherwise, the old woman would think of herself as a domineering queen!
Laurel put down the phone, washed her face and brushed her teeth in a short time, and went
downstairs.

“To Grandma’s house.”
“What are you doing there?” Blanca was surprised. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Ever since Blanca was married into the Lambert family, Wendy never showed her a happy face
because Blanca came from a poor family. Fortunately, Laurel’s grandfather liked Blanca, and that was
why the marriage was approved.
After the marriage, Blanca avoided Wendy as much as possible.
Hearing that Laurel was to go back, Blanca didn’t want her to
go.
“Grandma said that she needed to see me.”
“What for?”
“She didn’t tell me.”
Blanca didn’t dare to resist Wendy, so she wouldn’t stop Laurel from leaving. Thinking about it, she
said, “I’m going with you.”
“Are you worried that Grandma will bully me?”
“She bullied you all the time,” said Blanca in irritation.
“You can’t help even if you go.” Laurel straightforwardly exposed her.
She was well aware that her mother didn’t want to cause family conflicts and that she would never go
against Wendy.
“At least, you won’t be the only one she scolds.” This was the greatest protection Blanca could offer.
Laurel smiled.
Her mother was just too kind.
“Let’s go.”
She would show Blanca how to teach Wendy a lesson!
