The Wrong Woman Chapter 288
"Couldn't you have at least given me a heads-up?" Mila asked.Nathan remained silent and went straight into the bathroom.Suddenly there was a knock at the door. Mila quickly leaped off the bed and ran to the door. She pressed her ear to the door and asked, "Who is it?""Suzanne, open up."Mila's heart stopped in her throat when she realized it was Sally. She turned to look at Nathan, who was in the bathroom. The knock was getting more urgent. "Open up. Can't you hear me? Open the door."After a moment's hesitation, Mila opened the door to find Sally standing there with a smug look. Mila raised her voice, asking, "Ms. Hoffis, is there anything?"She was hoping to alert Nathan so he wouldn't come out and be spotted.Sally crossed her arms and looked at her contemptuously. "I've never seen a woman as shameless as you. You threatened my grandma with Nathan and even moved in here brazenly. Aren't you afraid of dying?""I'm not afraid to die," Mila said in a calm voice.Sally snort

Mila tucked Zach's hand back under the blanket and asked calmly, "Dr. Hoffis, I wonder why you called me here?"Oliver slowly got to his feet and adjusted his glasses. There was a hint of suspicion in his sharp gaze as he stared at her. He walked over to the bedside as if something was on his mind. "I think you should come and visit my very ill father. It's a courtesy you owe as a guest.""I'm sorry to be rude." Mila lowered her head apologetically.At first, she feared that seeing Zach seriously ill would make her lose control and expose herself. But her fears faded once she realized that Zach was faking his illness.Loretta laid down her towel and ran her fingers through Zach's silvery hair. She choked back tears and mumbled, "Zach, please wake up. What will I do when you're gone?"Sally rushed to Loretta's side and held her arm in comfort. "Grandma, don't get too upset. You'll still have me with you even if Grandpa is gone."Loretta held onto Sally's hand with a hopeful look

The organization had arranged for the fake Sally to take over Sally Hoffis's identity. Her mission was to marry Nathan, thereby infiltrating his life and extracting more secrets.Having successfully become Sally Hoffis, she was preparing to inherit the Hoffis business. Even if it meant sharing it with Oliver, she didn't mind. But the news that Sally wasn't a Norvanian and couldn't inherit the property was like a blow to her head.Oliver hadn't told her anything about this. Mila revealed this truth so that Sally and Oliver would have a falling out."As Nathan's ex, I considered Ms. Hoffis my love rival, so I investigated her background. Only to find out that Ms. Hoffis is not just an immigrant but has changed her citizenship. She's now a Sunteri. Foreigners have no inheritance rights under Norvanian law," Mila stated calmly.Loretta couldn't hold back her anger and yelled at Mila, "You're full of crap! How could Sally possibly be a Sunteri?"Mila didn't doubt that Zach and Loretta
The Wrong Woman Chapter 291
Loretta looked confused. "Why can't you go?"Sally hesitated. She was unsure how to respond. Mila sniggered and left the sick room without saying a word.Naturally, Sally couldn't be in Sunterland. Surveillance cameras were everywhere in Sunterland, and facial recognition would identify her upon entry. She would undoubtedly be arrested within seconds as a most wanted fugitive.Even if she managed to avoid the surveillance cameras, Mila knew she wouldn't be able to pass the facial and fingerprint recognition during the documentation process. Moreover, Sally Hoffis was a highly classified researcher at Sunterland.Mila went upstairs and happened to see Phoebe coming her way."Mila, I handed Mr. Morrison the clothes and the food," Phoebe whispered."Okay." Mila nodded."Where have you been?"Mila pointed to Zach's sick room."How is Mr. Hoffis Senior doing?"Mila murmured in Phoebe's ear, "He's fine. He's just pretending to be sick. Since I got Sally and Oliver into conflict, my

In the past, Wanda and Nathan had the closest relationship and often hung out together. However, Wanda had always admired Daniel. Nathan always heard Wanda complimenting Daniel.There was no denying that Daniel had been a charismatic figure at school during his youth. He was the captain of the basketball team and a top student who had secured admission to a prestigious university. Everyone thought he was a genius, but he firmly decided to enter the police academy.Daniel and Wanda were gifted students who always came out on top. Nathan worked hard to keep up with Wanda so he could be her equal. Eventually, he made a name for himself in his career and was on par with Wanda, but she didn't love him."Wanda, if you want to see Daniel, I'll have Cole pick you up." Nathan's voice sounded sad.Mila shook her head. She was afraid that she had caught Nathan's cold. She didn't want to spread it to Daniel in the hospital. "Forget it. I'll visit Dan with flowers and fruits when the weathe

Nathan took the pastry from her and said, "Thanks. I can eat on my own."Mila watched him in silence. Her feelings were somewhat complicated. Nathan had been so persistent with her before their divorce. After she made her stance clear, he stopped bothering her. Everything went as Mila wanted, but she couldn't help feeling hurt.She had also been working hard to control herself. They weren't impulsive teenagers anymore. Love was no longer the most important thing. Life had more important matters than love.Nathan took a bite of the pastry. He chewed slowly, but it seemed tasteless. After Mila brought over the whole box of pastry, she sat down next to Nathan, and they ate together.It had been a long time since they sat quietly next to each other and shared the same box of food. There were no unnecessary words between them. They simply accompanied each other."How much longer do you think this rain will last?" Mila heaved a sigh.Nathan's gaze grew deeper, and he stopped eating.
The Wrong Woman Chapter 294
The rain went on for a very long time. After it stopped, Mila fell sick. She was probably infected with Nathan's virus. She spent three days in bed with the illness.Besides taking care of Mila, Phoebe had to secretly investigate Oliver for information about Mila's parents. Mila's cold was completely gone a week later.…At the quiet hour of 2:00 am, Mila quietly entered Zach's sick room. After locking the door, she opened the app on her phone and scanned the room. The app showed that besides a surveillance camera, there were two hidden cameras in the room.Mila activated the signal blocker. After a few seconds, all the cameras and signaling devices stopped working. She walked up to the bed and whispered in Zach's ear, "Grandpa, can you hear me?"Zach remained still. Mila touched his hand and continued, "Grandpa, can you hear me?"Mila smiled in relief when she saw Zach's fingers move a little. She reassured, "Don't worry, I've jammed every single camera."Zach slowly looked tow
The Wrong Woman Chapter 295
"Grandpa, I'm leaving." Mila touched Zach's cheek and whispered, "You don't have to pretend to be sick anymore if lying in bed gets tiring. The fake Sally won't let anything happen to you for now."As soon as Zach and Loretta were dead, all of the property would fall into Oliver's hands. The fake Sally would never let go of such a huge advantage."All right, I understand," Zach replied gently.Mila quietly left the sick room after saying goodbye to Zach.…The next day, Phoebe told Mila that Loretta had taken Sally to Hoffis Corporation. Loretta introduced Sally to the members of the board of directors and got her a position as the vice president of the corporation.Sally wanted to inherit the wealth of the Hoffises, but she didn't dare to change her citizenship in Sunterland. However, she came up with another idea—marry a Norvanian and let her husband inherit it. She could then get half the property of her husband."Mila, your grandma has taken Sally to see General Morrison.

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
