Chapter 935
“Grandma Eleanor, you’ve set aside more than enough for me p>
“That’s nowhere near enough. I’m going to hunt down even better treasures for you p>
Eleanor took Mira to purchase a few more pieces of jewelry. Each one was a flawless masterpiece, with the most expensive valued at hundreds of millions of dollars.
Jillian Lowe and the others stared in absolute awe.
“Mira, you’re so lucky. Why couldn’t I have a grandmother like her p>
“Lucky enough to get kicked out of the house p>
Mira said with a helpless sigh.
With her growing reputation, Mira’s past was practically an open secret by now.
“That’s because they were completely blind p>
Eleanor proceeded to give Mira a hands-on lesson in identifying gemstones. Jillian leaned in close, her eyes wide as she eagerly tried to absorb every detail.
Meanwhile, the Lance estate was buzzing with a different kind of energy.
Lawrence Lance had spent the night with his new bride and was enjoying a lazy morning in bed.
“Lawrence, get up. We still need to go to your parents’ place for our first family dinner p>
Lawrence stretched lazily. “Help me get dressed, and I’ll get up p>
His mind was still lingering on the passionate encounters from the night before, hungering for more.
Seraphina Quinn was only nineteen, in the prime of her youth, and Lawrence had certainly taken his fill of her on their wedding night.
“You’re impossible p>
Seraphina shot him a playful glare.
Her hands didn’t stop, however, as she began helping him dress.
Lawrence had always been a man of immense physical appetites. Feeling Seraphina’s soft fingers brushing against him reignited his desire instantly.
He pulled her into his arms, pressing her back down against the mattress as he took her in a fierce, tangled embrace.
He was thoroughly lost in the scent of their passion, but just as their intimacy
reached a fever pitch, a stern voice shouted from outside the room.
“Where is Lawrence Lance? Which one of you is Lawrence Lance p>
“Who the hell barged in without asking p>
Lawrence cursed, his desire instantly turning to ice. The two of them scrambled to get their clothes back on.
Seraphina finished first, and Lawrence urged her, “Go see who’s out there p>
When Seraphina stepped out, Geoffrey was standing in the living room with two police officers.
“Who are you p>
“We’re the police p>
The two officers held up their badges.
“Where is Lawrence p>
“He’s… in the bedroom p>
Seraphina tripped over her words, a
wave of panic washing over her.
Was Lawrence actually in serious
trouble? If so, what would happen to
her?
She didn’t dare entertain the thought.
“Who’s making all that noise p>
Lawrence stepped out of the bedroom, still buttoning his shirt.
The two officers immediately approached him. “You’re Lawrence Lance p>
“I am. What is this? Why are you in my house p>
“You’re under arrest p>
The officers presented him with a warrant.
“Why? On what grounds p>
“We wouldn’t be here if we didn’t have substantial evidence.
If you’re truly innocent, the law will clear your name p>
Before he could react, the cold steel handcuffs snapped around his wrists.
He struggled against the grip, but it was entirely futile.
“Let him go! Let him go! Lawrence didn’t do anything p>
Seraphina screamed in distress.
“I need a moment alone with my wife p>
Lawrence demanded.
“You can speak to her, but we stay right here p>
Although they permitted the exchange, the officers kept a firm hold on Lawrence’s
arms.
Left with no other choice, Lawrence
gritted his teeth and instructed, “Go
find my parents, and you elige
Makes
sure to check on Grandpa at to check on the hospital and see if he’s awake.
If he’s awake, tell him everything. If
he isn’t talk to the doctors the doctors and do
whatever it takes to wake him up. Gontent
