The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 457 She Suspected Her Memory Had Been Altered

Laura and Cassie's friendship quickly solidified.

Cassie treated her exceptionally well. After their first meeting at Holden

Residence, Cassie would frequently call and text her, inviting her out for shopping trips. She even delivered lunch to Laura at work and showered her with countless

gifts.

Every time Cassie showed up, Laura's colleagues would look on with envy, whispering about how lucky she was. Not only did she have Wesley, the perfect boyfriend, but also a future sister-in-law who adored her.

Laura would simply smile whenever she overheard these conversations. They weren't wrong. She truly felt happy to have met such a wonderful family.

As Laura and Wesley's wedding plans progressed, Cassie was by her side every step of the way, helping her handle every little detail. The wedding itself was a grand affair, making Laura the most envied bride in Dithoria that day.

After the wedding, Laura, Wesley, and Cassie continued living in Holden Residence. It wasn't long before Laura became pregnant.

Charles was overjoyed and gifted her numerous presents, even suggesting that she resign from work to focus on her pregnancy.

Cassie chimed in, reasoning that, as part of the Holden family, Laura had no need to work while expecting a child. If she truly wanted to pursue a career, the family could set up a private studio for her.

After giving it some thought, Laura realized that her job was not only exhausting but also barely comparable with the price of one of Cassie's designer handbags.

Plus, given that she was carrying the Holdens' first grandchild, their concerns were understandable. In the end, she took Charles' advice and left her job to focus on her pregnancy.

Throughout her pregnancy, Cassie spoiled her with an endless stream of gifts- everything from food to clothes to entertainment. The sheer amount of presents filled several rooms. Even Wesley couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy. "It feels like I found a wife for Cassie rather than for myself," he joked.

Laura laughed, teasing, "Are you really jealous over our good relationship?"

Wesley playfully bantered with her, and those days became some of the happiest of Laura's life.

As her due date approached, Holden Residence welcomed a team of medical professionals.

Since Laura was carrying the Holdens' first grandson, Charles took no chances, and Cassie was equally anxious. She meticulously double-checked everything- from the medical team to the postnatal care centre and the nutritionists-wanting to ensure that nothing was overlooked.

Laura's pregnancy had been smooth, but the labor was another story. She suffered through hours of pain with no dilation. In the end, Lucy had to administer labor-inducing medication.
