Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 1310

Lori: "Marcus, you...”

Marcus’s tone and expression warmed slightly. "You, your mother, and your daughter can all move into the Shaw family residence, but keep to yourself; don't try t o cause trouble around the house. If you think my words are cruel, you can choose not to move in!"

Lori never expected Marcus would change his attitude so quickly. As if he did not acknowledge her as his relative at all, but her mother told her that her mother had grown up in the Shaw family home. She loved every tree and every blade of grass in their courtyard. According to her mother, she was practically the princess of the Shaw family, like a little lady of the house.

Why were things so different now?

Lori hated it!

But she remembered what her mother told her. "Lori, times are different now, the aunt that loved me like her own is dead, and the uncle who also loved me is now an old man. Now, we have to rely on the power and influence of the Shaw family, so we have to obey them."

At this thought, Lori immediately plastered a smile on her face. "What are you saying Marcus? I'm not at all the woman Sabrina paints me to be. I think she's too

suspicious. I just returned from abroad, and all my attention is focused on my career. I admit I was a bit hasty, anxious to broker another deal, but...”

"Alright! You don't have to explain yourself to me. Just know your place!” Marcus interrupted her. After a pause, he sighed and said heavily, "You are only worthy of respect if you obtain success through your own hard work. You have a wonderful job, and staying with us won't cost you anything. Your chances of getting a decent boyfriend are high.”

"I know, Marcus. I will work hard. I’m leaving now.” Lori knew when to make her exit. She turned and left.

But tears poured down her face. Sitting in her own car, her mother noticed her tears and asked, "What's wrong, Lori, what happened again? Did Marcus scold you?”
