The Wrong Woman Chapter 174
Suzanne supported Betty's decision to divorce, but she drew the line when it came to providing her a place to stay. Instead, she encouraged Betty to look for a job, to enrich herself with knowledge and skills, and to become a better self. Betty, seeing no benefit in further conversation, retreated to the comfort of the York family with disappointment. A week passed, and the long-awaited DNA test results were finally ready. Despite mentally preparing herself for the outcome, Suzanne found herself shattered by the reality they revealed. She stood dumbfounded outside the hospital with tears clouding her vision as she saw the words confirming her lack of biological relation. The report validated all the suspicions and inconsistencies surrounding her identity. If she wasn't Suzanne, then who was she? Where were her true family and friends? And what dark motives lay behind the elaborate scheme to mold her into Suzanne? On her ride home in the car, her mind swirled with these

Suzanne lowered her head with a smile on her face as she replied, "Okay." Nathan let out a sigh of relief. Though he was reluctant to end the call, there was a meeting in progress. "If there's nothing else, I should go," Nathan said. A wave of disappointment swept over Suzanne. "Would he really end the call after just two minutes? How did other long-distance couples manage to talk for hours, or even half a day?" she pondered. But she soon realized that those conversations were reserved for couples deeply in love. There was no such affection between her and Nathan. Even if he had the time, he wouldn't indulge in romantic exchanges with her. "Alright." Suzanne's voice carried a hint of sadness as she murmured softly, "Bye." With the call ended, Suzanne set her phone aside and turned to gaze out the window, a mixture of uncertainty and longing swirling within her. "Would Nathan send someone to pick me up tomorrow?" Suzanne wondered, a glimmer of hope flickering in her heart
The Wrong Woman Chapter 176
Suzanne found herself teetering on the brink of losing consciousness. It was as if she had been swallowed by an endless abyss of despair and fear. She trembled in the water, unable to catch a single breath. In that fleeting moment, death loomed close, and Nathan's image flashed through her mind. Confronted with the specter of death, he was the sole anchor she clung to desperately.In a startling twist of events, Sally abruptly released her grip, instead simulating a struggle as if she were drowning, her cries for help piercing the air. "Help!" Suzanne faintly heard Sally's desperate pleas, followed by the sound of two splashes. Her consciousness teetered on the edge as fear filled her, yet she persisted in her struggle, bobbing up and down in the water. As she emerged from the water's surface, her hazy eyes caught a glimpse of Nathan's figure, carrying Sally toward the shore. Was it an illusion? Why was Nathan here? Did he just save Sally? The unsettling sensation of dread

Nathan exited the ward, with Oliver trailing closely behind, closing the door as he followed. Observing Nathan's somber demeanor, Oliver questioned coldly, "Nate, deep down, do you still love Sally?" Nathan paused in his tracks, his expression turning icy. "Sally may have made mistakes in her attempts to win you back, but it's all because she loves you too much. The incident at the pool must have been an accident."If you can spare a moment, perhaps you should check on Sally. Her fear of water might have traumatized her," Oliver suggested. Despite Oliver's words, Nathan remained silent, his back to Oliver as he strode away with purposeful steps, leaving no room for further discussion. Watching Nathan's retreating figure, Oliver's eyes flickered with determination. Sally had crossed a line. Despite his multiple warnings to keep her hands off Suzanne, Sally persisted in harming her. Nathan walked out of the hospital and entered the military base's armed vehicle.Cole and Lu

He sighed and leaned back into his chair, his tone incredibly gentle as he spoke, "Did I wake you?" After a day of contemplation, Suzanne could now face him calmly. A hint of detachment flickered in her eyes as she replied, "You should get some rest. I'm fine now. You don't have to stay here with me." Nathan attempted to clarify the day's events. "I didn't see you underwater. Besides, Sally can't swim." A bitter smile tugged at Suzanne's lips. While she could accept the first explanation, the second seemed absurd. How could a wealthy heiress not know how to swim? Her tone grew sharper, more frustrated. "You don't need to explain. It's unnecessary." Noticing her anger from her cutting and unforgiving words, he replied helplessly, "Suzy, I can't leave Sally alone in that situation." It was the true test of loyalty. In moments of dire need, thoughts became muddled, and instinct dictated every action. Nathan loved Sally deeply, and Suzanne had no grounds to blame him for his

Cole and Lucas rushed to restrain Loretta, preventing her from getting closer to the pool. Sally's desperate struggles in the water were chaotic, far from the movements of a proficient swimmer. "Help me! Nate, I can't swim!" she cried. Hearing the screams, Oliver, who was on the second floor, hurried outside the balcony. Startled by the commotion, he quickly rushed to the scene. Nathan stood silently at the pool's edge, observing Sally's floundering with an unsettling calm. Despite her frantic efforts, she had yet to sink. Loretta's tearful pleas for help from the butler and Oliver echoed through the air.As Oliver rushed down, Lucas restrained him. "Nathan, have you lost your mind? Sally can't swim. You need to get her out of there!" Oliver's voice thundered with rage, the veins on his neck bulging. "Are you trying to kill her?"Equally distraught and furious, Loretta begged, "Nate, please save Sally. She's in trouble. She can't swim!" Nathan remained unmoved, his demean
The Wrong Woman Chapter 180
Oliver seethed with rage, but his voice was stifled, unable to break free from the force that dragged him away. Sally, pretending to be weak, stumbled and leaned on Loretta. "Nate, I nearly drowned. Why would you do this to me? You knew I couldn't swim. Did you want to harm me?" Despite her claim of being unable to swim, Sally managed to stay afloat for 20 minutes. After finally getting out, she appeared remarkably composed. The most perplexing part was her complete lack of symptoms related to aquaphobia. Noticing something was unusual, Loretta tightly grasped Sally's hand, scrutinizing her with astonishment. "Sally, have you overcome your fear of water? Are you no longer afraid?" Sally hesitated for a moment before bursting into tears. "Grandma, I'm terrified. I'm shaking all over, and I'm scared to death." Nathan's expression darkened. Without a word, he turned and walked away, with Cole and Lucas trailing behind. "Nate!" Sally cried out from behind them, sobbing uncontr
The Wrong Woman Chapter 181
Nathan searched every possible place Suzanne could be in.Shovale, her mother's house, her old rented place—there wasn't a hint of her presence. She had disappeared without a trace.It'd only been a day, but he'd grown a lot wearier. The heart-wrenching pain he felt when he first left the country ten years ago had resurfaced with even greater intensity. At noon, an uninvited guest appeared at the Morrison Residence. A female lawyer had come as Suzanne's representative to settle matters regarding the divorce. In the study, the sun outside shone bright, and the room was airy. However, the atmosphere inside was depressing and suffocating. The lawyer, Lana Scott, placed a bank card and the divorce settlement agreement in front of him. "My client has already signed her name on the agreement. This bank card is yours, Mr. Morrison. She'll pay back the money she'd spent in installments."Nathan's expression was cold as he stared grimly at the document on the table. At the moment, his

Jasper became concerned as Imogen placed her hand over her heart. He asked, "Are you experiencing any chest pains? Have you consulted a doctor? I can take you for a check-up."Imogen reassured him, gently holding his arm. "Jasper, I'm fine. I'm just trying to figure out how to balance my future family and career."Jasper smiled knowingly, gently patting her head before pulling her into an embrace. He recognized her uniqueness—her drive to pursue her career and showcase her skills and talents. The thought of being a stay-at-home mother or merely a trophy wife held no appeal for her whatsoever.Holding her close, Jasper murmured, "Imogen, have you forgotten about your husband's financial prowess?"Imogen couldn't suppress a chuckle.Jasper reassured her of his commitment, "As long as you're on board, I can arrange a driver to drive you to work, an assistant to handle all your tasks, and you won't have to worry about anything. When you return home, there will be maids and me to ens

After returning from her journey across the globe, Imogen headed straight to the hospital. During her travels, she started noticing subtle changes in her body—nausea, fatigue, and a stronger need for rest. Her hunch was confirmed when tests revealed she was pregnant.She felt a blend of anticipation and apprehension. The idea of being pregnant raised thoughts of focusing on family life and raising children. Yet, she valued her career and was steadily demonstrating her skills. She wasn't ready to give it up just yet.When Imogen arrived home and stepped through the front door, she found Gregory and Carol were there. They had just returned from their trip as well, bringing back gifts. "Hi, Mom, Dad," Imogen greeted them.Still excited about their travels, Gregory and Carol eagerly recounted their adventures to Jasper.When Jasper heard Imogen's voice, he quickly stood and walked over to her, taking her hand. "Imogen, I woke up early and didn't see you around. Where did you go?"
The Wrong Woman Chapter 1086
Jasper thought the idea was brilliant and agreed, "Let's plan our route and leave next week."Imogen gently pushed him back, her hands on his chest. "Sure, but let me get up first. We'll map out our journey, set a schedule, and go on a trip for our wedding."Jasper took her wrists and lifted them above the pillow. "Let's discuss this tomorrow. I have some pressing matters to attend to at the moment."Imogen was about to respond when Jasper leaned in and kissed her deeply. Their lips intertwined with passion.…A week later, Imogen received another call from Yulia's lawyer, who conveyed Yulia's apologies and expressed her desire for Imogen's forgiveness. Yulia also requested Imogen to intervene with Nathan on her behalf.Imogen decided to ignore the request. She believed in the fairness of the law. It reminded her of Zoey, who had fraudulently claimed her degree and ended up in prison at Jasper's behest.As for Yulia, she had orchestrated attacks on Gregory, caused Carol to lose

Imogen's heart raced as she slowly hugged Jasper, her voice bashful yet resolute. "Jasper, you'll always have a place in my heart."Jasper tensed slightly, his senses on high alert. He met her eyes. A glint of anticipation sparked in his gaze as he eagerly murmured, "Say it one more time. Say it—""I love you, Jasper," Imogen said gently.Jasper's eyes immediately filled with tears as he held Imogen tightly, his body shaking. Overwhelmed by emotion, he could only whisper her name into her ear. "Imogen… Imogen…""Do you love me?" Imogen asked, her voice tinged with shyness.Jasper frowned. "I do love you. Haven't you always known?""I still want to hear it," Imogen said."I love you. I love you with all my heart," Jasper declared, gazing at her with intense passion and unwavering resolve.Feeling a bit stiff from his tight hug, Imogen gently pushed him away. "I love you, too, but I must get up and go to work.""Not today," Jasper responded, scooping and carrying her back to bed

"If it's a gift, why not accept it?" Mila whispered.Gregory quickly took the check, looking unsure of his next move.Once his money was accepted, Oakley assumed the issue was settled. He took Yulia's hand and began to leave the ward, saying, "Well, I'll leave with Yulia for now."Still feeling resentful, Yulia glanced back and shot Imogen a glare as they departed.The ward fell silent. Feeling uneasy, Gregory and Carol exchanged anxious glances."Nate, we can't go easy on them," Mila whispered.Nathan smiled knowingly. He took Mila's hand, gently caressed it, and said quietly, "Don't worry. I'll ensure our in-laws get the justice they deserve."Mila nodded, feeling reassured. Gregory and Carol, who were listening nearby, felt deeply moved and grateful.Since Gregory was injured and confined to bed, the meeting between Jasper's and Imogen's parents ended earlier than expected. After saying goodbye to their parents, Jasper and Imogen headed home. On their way home, Jasper felt

Yulia was renowned for her boldness and strong-willed nature. Aware of Oakley's wealth, influence, and dual reputation in legal and illicit circles, she feared no one and held a contemptuous attitude toward others, including senior military figures."You need to apologize to Ms. Imogen immediately," Oakley whispered urgently.Pointing at Imogen, Yulia muttered irritably, "Her? Oh, please! If anyone owes an apology, it's her to me."Oakley wiped his forehead nervously, trembling with anxiety. Everyone's expressions around them darkened visibly. Jasper suppressed his anger; his hands clenched into fists.Before he could speak, Yulia grumbled, "Jay, you blocked me before understanding everything, and then you terminated our contract. That's just too much."Mila couldn't shake her worry for Jasper. If he couldn't manage his relationship with Yulia appropriately, it could severely impact his marriage. Concerned that he might not handle it well, Mila intervened. "Ms. Gibson, please resp

Carol no longer believed the portrayal of wealthy women on television.Jasper took Imogen's hand, and they sat down on the couch together, feeling anxious. It was their parents' first meeting, and the hospital setting added to the tension. If things went wrong and their relationship soured, their future would look bleak.Imogen was particularly anxious. Her palms were growing clammy. Jasper pulled out a tissue and gently wiped her palms before reassuringly saying, "There's no need to be nervous. My parents are easygoing."Offering an awkward smile, Imogen teased him, whispering, "You seem more nervous than I am, don't you think?"Jasper chuckled but offered no reply. Dealing with Gregory and Carol was sure to be a bit daunting.Typically reserved around strangers, Nathan found it difficult to start a conversation at that moment. Meanwhile, Gregory and Carol felt apprehensive and cautious, worried that any misstep could upset the Morrisons and cause problems for Imogen.Sensing th

Mila approached them with a bouquet, smiling. "Yes, we're in the right place. We've come to visit you, our in-laws."The term "in-laws" caught Gregory off guard as he lay in the bed. Despite his injuries, he quickly propped himself up, struggling to sit upright. Carol, equally surprised, cautiously accepted the gift from Nathan's outstretched hands.Jasper and Imogen took the next elevator, so they hadn't reached the ward yet.Nathan quickly set his things down and hurried over, gently placing a reassuring hand on Gregory's shoulder. "You're injured. Don't get up. Just lie down and rest.""General Morrison, I…" Gregory's voice faltered in distress.Carol's hands trembled uncontrollably as she glanced nervously at Mila, worried that Mila and Nathan had overheard her argument with Gregory.Nathan spoke in a gentle tone, "Please, don't call me General Morrison. It sounds too formal. You both are older than me. Just call me Nathan, and I'll call you two by name in return."Mila came

In the hospital ward, Gregory had been asleep for over an hour when the nurse woke him to change his medication.After the change, Carol peeled an orange for him to eat. They shared the segments, chatting idly."Imogen really picked a good husband. Even these oranges he bought are unusually sweet," Carol said, marveling at the oranges. Gregory glanced at the orange and said, "They must be expensive.""Yes, they're sold by the piece in big supermarkets. Also, they're more expensive than beef and lamb," Carol said before eating another sweet segment.Gregory pondered for a moment. Then he curiously asked, "Someone ruined our house's floor. Do you think Jasper would help us repair it?"Carol shot him a look and replied, "Listen, don't burden Imogen with this. Don't even bring it up.""Why would it burden Imogen? With Jasper's wealth, this is nothing.""Enough," Carol snapped. "That's his business. No matter how poor we are, we shouldn't ask for what isn't ours." "You're too stu
