President’s Sweet Wife novel Chapter 573

Diego was soaked to the skin since he didn’t have an umbrella.

Both Laura and Fannie were shocked to see him like this.

Before they could even figure out what was going on, they saw him rushing into his room and rummaging the drawers for money.

Stunned, Fannie and Laura didn’t know what to do, nor did they dare to ask him what was going on.

Diego looked everywhere in the house but didn’t even find a coin. He rushed up to Fannie and seized her by the collar, asking, "Where’s the money? Where did you hide the money?"

It was then that Fannie realized Diego had become addicted to drugs,

which was the worst thing that could ever happen to a family in this world, because a drug addict was irrational.

Laura realized it too, terrified.

She was fifteen that year.

Luckily, Fannie sent her to a boarding school in the city to prevent Diego from hurting her.

Since her school adopted close management, no one, including her parents, was allowed in during weekdays unless under exceptional circumstances.

Laura and Fannie had been scared during those years.

And that was also when Fannie’s health declined.

Things hadn’t taken a turn for the better until Laura came back to Eqitin to attend a drama school.

The past flitted through her mind like a movie.

However, Laura was, oddly, calm when she recalled those painful experiences in the past.

It was as if those memories were gone with the wind.

Truly, she went through it, and it was all history now, so there was no need for her to worry again.

Laura woke up late the next day.

Maybe because she had been dreaming the whole night, Laura didn’t feel refreshed when she got up.

Nicole knew Laura had come home late last night, so she didn’t come to her apartment early this morning, and she brought some chicken soup for her.

After washing up, Laura was reading the gossip column on Twitter as she ate the soup.

Suddenly, she paused.

Sitting on the sofa, Nicole was packing up things Laura would need today. She asked out of curiosity seeing that, "What’s wrong?"

Laura just ate a spoonful of soup. Before she could swallow it, she choked and coughed.

She shook her hand immediately, "Nothing."

However, Nicole came over to her regardless.

She saw an eye-catching headline on the trending list that read,

"Angelic Beauty Laura Davies Meeting Golden Bachelor At Night. Are They Doing It?"

Nicole widened her eyes in astonishment.

There were two fuzzy pictures below the caption, in which Laura and Max were coming out of the restaurant together.

Max was blurred on the picture, probably because the paparazzi didn’t want to offend someone so powerful, while Laura was fully shown.

Therefore, one could tell the woman in the photo was her, even if she was wearing a mask and lowering her head with her hair down.

"Laura…"

Laura rubbed her forehead in depression.

"It’s alright. Things like this happen all the time. Didn’t they take a picture of Stephen and me together the other day?"
