Chapter 75 Poison
Suddenly thinking of something, she quickly changed her words, “Forget it.”
Realizing that these two words represent a kind of a disappointment to him, Eric’s face instantly looked bad. He clenched his hands and couldn’t say anything.
“Anyway, it’s my business. Who I want to make friends with is nobody’s business — and that includes you. Do you understand? Uncle.”
Ignoring Eric, who looked pale after hearing these words, Lucy took Laura’s hand and turned away.
On their way back they encountered someone unexpected.
“Laura, what are you doing here?” Marcus was quite surprised.
Laura was also surprised and pointed to Lucy who pulled her in, “Came with her.”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
In New York, the only daughter of Mr. James was notorious for her capriciousness. Marcus instantly understood exactly why Laura was here, and he smiled, “I didn’t expect such a coincidence. My grandfather also mentioned you before, saying that the medicine you said was very effective, and I must invite you to my house for a meal.”
Laura understood instantly. As she found the party boring but didn’t know how to leave.
“I just have time now. How about… I go with him?” Laura glanced at Lucy.
Lucy bristled unhappily, “Laura, what’s the fun in going to his house, just stay with me…”
“Well…” Laura hesitated.
Seeing this, Marcus went straight up and wrapped his arm around Laura’s waist, “Right, let’s go now.”
“Eh eh!” Lucy panicked, “Wait a minute!”
She shouted fast and furiously, but Marcus had already taken Laura away.
“Lucy, why are you dawdling here? Don’t you want to go in and play?” A female student who had gone to the bathroom looked at Lucy in surprise.
Lucy stomped her foot fiercely, “Marcus, you dare to abduct my Laura.” Lucy, who couldn’t think of anything to do with him, cursed and went back to the party.
The bewildered female student was left standing in the same place.

The Brown’s house.
Grandpa put down the flower pot in his hand happily, “Let me see, who did my grandson bring to see me?”
Laura was a little shy. She called “Grandpa”, and let him take her hand and look her up and down.
Grandpa fished out a necklace from his pocket, “This meeting was so sudden that I didn’t have time to prepare for it, so I’ll take this as a gift for my grandson–in–law.”
At this moment, Laura glanced at Marcus, who was following her and saw him nodding gently. She smiled and accepted the gift, “Thank you, Grandpa!”
“Don’t mention it.” Grandpa warmly dragged Laura inside.
During this process, Laura kept watching his face. Suddenly she noticed something — from the look on his face, he had been poisoned for a long time!
