CHAPTER 520 BECAUSE OF LOVE

Actually, both Laura and Jonah were outstanding among their peers.

However, when compared with Laura, Jonah appeared less dazzling.

Just a few days ago, Jonah had ever warned Laura of a secret plot.

According to Jonah, one of their peers was planning to unite all those rivals against her and seeking a

chance to take her down.

However, Laura didn’t take it seriously. All content is property © .

As conceited as she had always been, she believed no one could defeat her except for Kate and Lydia

when it came to conspiracy.

What was more, never had she expected that it was her twin brother who was conspiring against her.

Jonah was the culprit behind all these!

But actually, it appeared quite reasonable on second thought.

Jonah smirked at Laura, “Laura, you finally got it! But it’s too late. Grandpa has made me the inheritor!”

Laura stared at him coldly, “But I have told you more than once that I will never compete against you to

be the inheritor. And I don’t want to lead the family. Why are you doing these to me?”

Laura was blazing with rage mixed with disbelief.

Even now, she found it hard to accept the fact that it was Jonah who had been conspiring against her. It

was her twin brother who had been plotting against her!

However, she had never thought about doing anything bad to hurt her own brother.

Now Laura was completely defeated.

Jonah sneered, “That’s what others might believe! But I never will! It’s just because of you. I would

believe a promise from a politician rather than yours!”

His harsh words pierced her heart.

She couldn’t help shivering out of coldness.

“You…you hate me?” asked Laura with disbelief.

She actually saw hatred in Jonah’s eyes.

He hated his twin sister?

Laura was stunned but confused.

“Hate?” Jonah wondered for a while. Then he smirked, “Well, you can call it ‘hate’!”

“You are my sister, but you have always been more brilliant than me ever since we were born. I have

been struggling to catch up with you. But you always keep yourself ahead of me!”

“I have been telling myself again and again—Laura is my sister. I should be proud of her even if she

appears more excellent than me. But as we grow up, I find it hard to accept such a fact. I can’t keep

fooling myself!”

Jonah’s face went twisted. He glared at Laura, “I am a man, and also your elder brother! I can’t just

watch my sister mounting on me! Do you know my feeling? Do you know how humiliating it was to

me?”

“You are the greatest rival stopping me from reaching the top. So I have to root you out!”

While speaking, he returned to being calm as usual. Then he shook his head, “That was why I

suggested we should return home. Back on Wall Street, you could stand out with your talent while I

could only live under your shadow. But everything is different when we returned home.”

“The environment here greatly values social connections, which I can do better than you. You have

always offended others but I could build up my connections.”

“You couldn't even be bothered to be social because you are so full of yourself! But listen, no matter

how strong an individual appears, a team could always do better!”

Jonah pointed at Lane and the rest of them, “See? They are all on my side to fight against you! They all

hate you!”

“I thought you should be tricky to deal with. But now it transpires that I have overestimated you.”

Jonah sneered with contempt, “Actually, I don’t think I could bring you down even with the help of that.

But I have never expected that you made such a stupid move—you actually brought Leo’s daughter

here! You know what? You are ruining yourself!”

Hearing that, Laura couldn’t help gasping.

Now she had to accept this cruel fact—that was the real Jonah.

“I shouldn’t have saved you from Leo’s threat that day!” Laura huffed angrily.

Jonah replied with a contemptuous expression, “You should have stayed alert even to your family.

That’s the worst mistake you have ever committed.”

“Laura, Kate is a good example for you to learn. She makes herself powerful just because she remains

absolute rational even in front of her family.”

“But she has paid her price! She lives in loneliness!” Laura refuted and then added, “Nobody in her

family understands her feeling. The one who shares the most understanding with her is actually her

enemy. So pathetic.”

“Lydia is who I want to be!”

“Oh, really? But now you have totally lost grandpa’s favor. I can’t believe you actually brought Leo’s kid

here to the banquet! So ridiculous!” Jonah sneered while looking at Ayan’s livid face.

“Grandpa, what should we do to that little bastard?”

Ayan cast an evil gaze at Emilia.

Lane suggested, “Grandpa, Leo has badly challenged our bottom line. And he even took away the J

Group from us. Now his daughter is under our control! We must make use of this chance.”

“That’s right, Mr. Watts! How about giving me the chance to dispose of this little bastard? I’m sure it’s

going to be a tragedy for her parents!” suddenly, an evil female voice sounded among the guests.

As they looked over there, they saw a woman staring at Emilia with a bloodthirsty look.

After a short pause, Ayan said, “Sophia Walsh? The former vice president of Atlas?”

“Yes, I’m Sophia. It was Leo and Lydia who ruined me!”

As expected, it was exactly Sophia who was standing here, one of the three VPs of Atlas.

If Leo appeared at the banquet, he should be surprised to see that.

Perhaps Ayan had clearly noticed the hatred burning within her eyes. So he soon agreed.

“Okay, she’s now at your disposal.”

But he then added, “But today is my birthday. I don’t want to turn it into some brutal murder party. Take

her to the basement. Then you can do whatever you want to her. But remember, don’t kill her!”

Hearing that, Sophia seemed to get thrilled.

“Mr. Watts, thank you so much for your generosity! May you be blessed by God!”

Then she walked over to Laura, who was still holding Emilia in her arms.

Scared, Emilia buried her head into Laura’s arms.

Laura stayed greatly alert, “What are you doing?”

“Give her to me!” Sophia huffed violently. She reached out her hand to grab Emilia.

“Never!” Laura clung to Emilia tight.

Powerlessness overwhelmed her heart. She really regretted bringing Emilia here.

Sophia slapped her hard on the face, which knocked down her glasses.

A bit of blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.

“Don’t you hear the order of your grandpa? Are you challenging him?” Sophia shouted madly.

“Laura!” Emilia burst into tears while staring at Laura, “are you okay?”

“Don’t worry. I’m fine…” Laura wiped off the blood and smiled at her, “I’m staying with you! I promise

they could never take you away!”

At this moment, she felt like being a mother.

Even though she was facing the crowd burning with hostility, she still remained fearless.

Perhaps that was because of love.
