Laura’s Victory Second Chance

Chapter 43

On the way back, David hesitated several times before finally asking, “Lau, about the inheritance your dad left you… No offense, but handling inheritance requires a lot of paperwork I’m concerned that you might be too young to understand it all.”

“Yeah. If you don’t understand, just leave them to your dad. He knows how to handle such things. Otherwise, people might try to deceive you because you’re just a young girl,” Emma replied, carefully avoiding any mention of the share transfer, hoping not to provoke Laura’s resentment.

Laura pretended not to catch their drift and responded with apparent sincerity, “When my father entrusted me to you, he left 20% of Godfrey

which would be transferred to Dad when I turn eighteen.” Group’s shares to me,

Emma and David secretly rejoiced, thinking Laura

ura was still the silly girl they knew, who could be appeased by a little favor every time they hurt her. Emma, who had been upset about David giving Laura 200 million dollars, felt much more at ease upon hearing Laura’s statement. Compared to the Godfrey family’s shares, 200 million dollars was nothing.

David suppressed his exhilaration and tried to maintain a calm demeanor. “Yes, that’s true. We adopted you because we lost Liv and were left without a child. We treated you as our own daughter. Those shares were always yours. I had no intention of taking them from you.”

Laura almost applauded at these kind words. She thought to herself, “No wonder Olivia is so skilled at acting, she is her father’s daughter, after all.

Laura responded calmly. “In that case, I won’t transfer them to you”

The couple was startled, and David quickly said, “Lau, you’re still young and have no experience managing a company. I plan to manage the shares for you temporarily. When you marry in the future, I’ll return the assets to you with interest as a dowry. This would also be a comfort to Mr. Godfrey’s spirit”

They watched Laura anxiously. The sunglasses obscured her eyes, hiding her expression. All they saw was her red lips curved into a smile, which made David and Emma nervous

“Alright,” Laura said.

“Lau, you agreed?” David asked, surprised.

Laura answered nonchalantly. “You’ve raised me for so many years. Of course, 1 should repay you properly.”

David and Emma Snally relaxed, relieved that Laura hadn’t changed her mind.

“Dad, Mom, Ineed to change my surname before inheriting the assets. I’m still listed as Sharpe, Laura said.

“That’s no big deal. I’ll have someone take care of it right away,” David replied.

“I need to use the name Laura Godfrey for the SAT,” she added.

“Understood. You can count on mor,” David said, his face breaking into a broad smile at the thought of the shares soon coming his way.

Laura’s slyness was hidden behind her sunglasses, but the corners of her mouth, lifted in a smile, betrayed her pleasure. The Sharpe family thought she had fallen into their trap, but little did they know that, to her, the Sharpe family was her prey,

Back at the Sharpe residence, Emma, eager to please Laura, linked arms with her. “Lau, Liv has already moved out of your room.”

Laura didn’t see Olivia. Emma, sensing her curiosity, explained, “Liv knows she was wrong and is in the kitchen making lunch for you to apologize.”

As they spoke, Olivia appeared wearing an apron, a bandage on her forehead, and a pale face. Her nanirally sad face now looked even “Laura, you’re back. I made some dishes you like Olivia said.

Laura ignored her and went straight upstairs, and Emma was unfazed by her coldness towards Olivia

more pitiful

“Laura, don’t worry. I haven’t touched your belongings. I’ve cleared out my stuff. I know I was thoughtless before, but I won’t argue with you anymore. I’ll give you whatever you want Olivia promised.

Olivia’s submissive demeanor seemed very sincere. Laura stopped and lifted her chin. “Is that so? Yo

so? You’ll give me whatever I want?” Laura had changed so much that her powerful aura made Olivia feel an inexplicable chill. She stammered, “W–well, of course.” Laura’s beautiful face flashed a bright smile. “What if I wanted you dead?”

A drop of sweat rolled down Olivia’s forehead as she gave a nervous smile. “Laura, if you really wanted me dead, then I…” Seeing that she was about to start another drama, Laura giggled. Just kidding. How could I bear to let you die?”

had brushed.

Laura stroked Olivia’s face. Although Laura was smiling, Olivia felt no warmth, only goosebumps where Laura’s fingers h

“Your skin is so smooth. I should add something to your face, Laura said. Olivia couldn’t understand what she meant.

Laura was much taller, forcing Olivia to look up at her, which felt intensely humiliating. “I don’t quite understand what you mean. Olivia said. Laura gave a nonchalant smile and released her face. “You’ll understand in the future.”

Olivia had a vague sense of foreboding but couldn’t pinpoint why

Emma quickly tried to ease the tension in the atmosphere. “Lau, is there anything else you need? If you do, I’ll arrange it for

“Renovate this room,” Laura said.

Emma acted as though she hadn’t understood. “What do you mean?”

“I consider anything touched by others, whether it’s my room or my man, dirty,” Laura stated.

Olivia’s face fell because Laura was indirectly insulting her.

| right away.”

E up.

Laura had no intention of staying at the Sharpe residence, she had come back today only to collect some important items. Noticing her packing Emma asked urgently. “What’s going on? Are you leaving?”

“Yes,” Laura said.

She was taking the dress Easton had given her. Olivia’s eyes widened when she saw Laura retrieving the gown worth hundreds of millions of dollars from the storage room.

“Lau, what are you doing? Even if this room needs renovation, there are other rooms in the house. You can even stay in Mom and Dad’s master bedroom. Where are you going?” Emma asked anxiously, fearing complications if Laura left.

“Mom, don’t worry about me. anymore, Laura said.

I’ll be fine on my own. You want to develop a good relationship with Olivia, so it’s perfect. I won’t bother you

After securing important documents and carrying the bag downstairs, Laura encountered David, who had sensed something was wrong. “Lau, your sister made lunch for you”

“You can eat it. I might lose my appetite, Laura said, striding out. David tried to stop her, but three luxury cars were already parked outside the villa, and several burly bodyguards in black suits stepped out.

Cedric, leading them, said with a stern face, “Ms. Godfrey, I’m here to take

you home.”

David knew Cedric represented the mysterious man and therefore he blocked Laura’s way. “Who sent you! Where are

Cedric answered calmly. “You don’t deserve to know,”
