Chapter 3 This Is Your Job

"Bitch, who do you think you are?" Eloise sized her up and laughed contemptuously, "Can a skinny monkey give birth to a son?"

Laura felt a rush of anger in Jackson. Unaware of it, Eloise continued to shout abuse.

Didn't the other members of the Griffith Family know about his illness? If the woman did, she wouldn't have said such harsh words in the presence of him.

"What are you quarreling about early in the morning?" An irritated Reid came in, followed by a group of people.

At the sight of the old man, Eloise walked over, helped him sit down, and continued to complain, "Dad, do you really want Jackson to marry such a dirty woman?"

"What has it got to do with you? Mind your own business and fix all that mess." Reid tapped the floor with his cane angrily, "This is the staff from the Civil Affairs Bureau. He will issue the marriage license for you."

Eloise's mouth was agape, "Dad, you took marriage too lightly. His marriage partner should be a fair lady. Otherwise, people will laugh at us. Besides, who knows if he has an illegitimate child?"

"Get lost now." Reid drove them away with his cane. At the end of the day, her surname was not Griffith. Daring not to say another word, Eloise led her daughter to walk away.

"Mom, don't worry, although our company owes a debt of tens of millions, we can simply find a scapegoat." Victoria smirked with viciousness in her eyes, "Jackson would not mind paying off the debt for his newlywed wife, don't you think?"

Eloise gave her daughter a thumbs up, "Sounds like a plan! If you get this done, I'll let you stay with that poor kid."

Laura's brows furrowed, and her heart convulsed. From her position, she happened to see the vicious faces of the mother and daughter.

After the formalities were completed, Reid carried the two red booklets happily, "Starting today; you're a registered couple. This old man is waiting for his great-grandson, and you two should do your best!"

The corner of her mouth twitched, and she felt short of breath. Jackson was impotent, but his family still urged them to have a baby. It looked like he didn't have the nerves to tell them about his illness.

She should take pity on herself. After coming out of a cage, she soon jumped into a pit of fire. Jackson's secret should not be disclosed. Otherwise, she would die a terrible death.

"I see, grandpa." Jackson glanced at Laura indifferently and strangely, "We'll try."

"Huh?" While still thinking about his impotence, Laura didn't expect his cue, "Yeah, we certainly will."

"Well, I'm glad to hear that." Reid said with satisfaction and then heaved a deep sigh, "If you really think so, I'm willing to shoulder all the pressure."

Jackson chuckled, took out a document, and placed it in front of her, "Since this is a deal, a wedding is not necessary, just sign the paper!"

Laura skimmed it through and got a general picture. According to the terms, she was not allowed to cuckold him but then found something wrong.

"Mr. Griffith, are you sure..." She whispered and pointed to Clause 33. If she couldn't give birth to his child in the following year, she should pay the Griffiths ten million yuan as compensation.

Jackson glanced at her coldly, "This is your job."

Laura detected ridicule and gloat in his eyes. He did this on purpose. The birth of a child was not only her job, and he... he was impotent. Wasn't this a death sentence for her?

"You have a problem with that?" Jackson arched his brow.

Laura pursed her lips and smiled, "No." She picked up the pen and signed the contract.

"Well, can I go meet my friend?" She feared that they would restrict her freedom.

"Sure." Reid agreed readily, giving her a cell phone and a credit card, "Although your relationship will not be announced to the public, at the end of the day, you're a daughter-in-law of the Griffith Family. This card is limitless. One more thing, we don't keep loafers. After you are familiar with the environment here, I'll let Jackson arrange a position for you in Griffith Group, and you two can build your relationship."

"Thank you." Laura took it with ease.

"Well then, I should go; remember your promise."

Jackson curled up his lips, "Will do."

After the old man walked away, the smile on Jackson's face froze. Like a different person, he demanded, "Undress."

"W... what?" Laura stammered, unsure of what he meant.

"Stop faking it." Jackson squinted at her menacingly.

Her face turned ashen instantly. What did he take her for? A whore?

"Mr. Griffith, I can undress, but can you?" She suddenly laughed.

"Laura, say that again, I dare you!" Jackson flared up as if he were going to eat the ungrateful woman alive.

"I don't have balls, do you?" Laura looked into his furious eyes, undaunted, "You can look down on me, but both of us take what we need. I can contribute, can you?"

Jackson gripped her hand so forcefully that her knuckles made cracking sounds. Laura was scared. Except for the Griffiths, no one knew that she was here. Even if he had her killed in the middle of the night, no one would find out. After all, no one in B City dared to investigate them.

"This is great, Laura; wait and see." Jackson barked and rolled his wheelchair to leave in a huff.

Laura collapsed on the sofa, her back covered with sweat. God knew how she survived that.

She unpackaged the phone, inserted the SIM card, and input a string of numbers.

After the line was through, her eyes lit up, "Cecilia, it's me."

Cecilia Rollins was lying cozily on the bed eating fruit. The familiar yet strange voice dazed her for quite a while, "Laura?"

"Yes." Laura smiled like a child who tasted honey for the first time.

She and Cecilia were desk mates in junior high. Then they selected different colleges and majors but maintained their friendship. Cecilia was the only one who visited her in prison.

The apple pulp got stuck in her throat. Cecilia coughed for a long time before swallowing it, "Laura, isn't there another two years before your release from prison? Did I remember the wrong date?"

"I have something to ask you. Are you free?" Laura said with a bitter smile.

"Yeah."

When Laura went out, several servants looked at her with strange eyes. She just laughed it off. She didn't want a ride, but the driver insisted. The reason was self-evident.
