The Wrong Woman Chapter 497
"I didn't have time to request leave," Mila explained.Jacob scoffed. "You're saying you didn't even have time to ask for leave? That's a lame excuse."Mila took a breath and clarified calmly, "I was in a rush. The marriage proposal happened late at night, and I flew back for the wedding the next morning."Jacob showed no sympathy. He stated angrily, "I don't care about your wedding arrangements. You'll be marked absent for a week due to unauthorized leave. Your salary for the month will be cut in half. And don't even think about receiving any bonuses this year."Mila was really mad—her cheeks were puffing out in anger. It wasn't about the money. She just felt like she was being treated unfairly.It was Nathan who hurried her home to get married. But, as the boss, he hadn't approved her leave in advance, so she ended up being marked absent. The more Mila thought about it, the madder she got. She turned on her phone, and messages started pouring in."Wait, let me ask my husband

Jacob's face contorted with anger. He clenched his teeth and glared fiercely at Mila as if he wanted to devour her. However, he held back from provoking her too much because she was pregnant."How dare you call me a waste of space?" Jacob seethed with rage. He pointed at Mila and continued, "Listen, Wanda Hoffis, by disrespecting your superior like this, you are not fit to work on the military base, let alone in Team B."Mila remained composed as she sat watching Jacob's outburst.Jacob grabbed the files and passed them to the other professors, saying, "Take a look at these. Can anyone understand what she's doing? They're just a jumble of random data."Watching Jacob pass around the confidential documents, Mila warned, "Don't meddle where you're not supposed to."Jacob smirked in response. "Why are you so defensive now? Are you afraid that if people see this messy data, they'll realize you're slacking off?"Mila placed her hands on her stomach and took a deep breath. Her docume

Mila was startled by how fast Jacob told Nathan everything. She gripped her hands tightly without saying a word.Nathan held back a laugh and tried to look calm as he cleared his throat. He glanced affectionately at Mila while asking Jacob, "Did she insult you by saying you're useless?""Yeah, everyone on Team B heard it," Jacob answered angrily.Nathan simply hummed in response."Not only did she slack off and insult her superior, but she also didn't show up for work for a week. Considering her irresponsible behavior, I suggest you dismiss her," Jacob added.Nathan turned to Fenna and asked, "I told you to arrange a month's leave for her. Why haven't you done it?"Everyone was surprised by Nathan's question while Fenna nervously responded, "I've been too busy, and I forgot about it."Mila frowned. Fenna's excuse didn't sit well with her and left her irritated.Nathan then turned to Jacob. "Did you hear that? It's Ms. Hudson's fault. She forgot about it.""Why would Ms. Hudson

Nathan suddenly started acting differently. He wasn't the same as he usually was.Mila was taken away, but then she returned to her senses and reached for Jacob. "My files—"Nathan redirected her hand down and said, "You don't need all that random stuff.""Random stuff?" Mila looked at Nathan in surprise as she felt a mix of emotions wash over her. Then, she was forcibly taken out of the research building by him.Fenna walked beside Cole as they followed Nathan and Mila. She whispered in Cole's ear, "Turns out Wanda has been getting her degrees from diploma mills. Nate knows, but he's mixing his personal and professional affairs."He insisted on putting Wanda in the research department to work with a bunch of researchers just so he could give her a fancy title to wear."Cole looked confused as he remarked casually, "Considering Mrs. Morrison's talent, I doubt she'll slack off in the research department."Fenna smirked. "Did you miss what just happened? And yet you still want to

Phoebe walked past Cole after she said her piece. Cole stood there, feeling sad and helpless. When he finally turned around, Phoebe was already far away.…Mila went into Nathan's office lounge and sat on the couch. She looked surprisingly calm as she stared at him. Nathan got her a glass of water and sat beside her. "Take a sip and relax," he said gently.After drinking some water, Mila put the glass down and waited quietly for him to explain. Nathan gently placed her hand on his thigh, stroking it. Mila unintentionally frowned, looking at Nathan's calm face and then at her hand on his."Do you enjoy touching my hand?" she asked.Nathan sighed. "We're newlyweds, but you won't let me hold you, or kiss you, or even see you. And now you won't let me touch your hand?"Mila suddenly realized she was being unreasonable. Her anger had stemmed from jealousy toward Fenna."If you want to hold my hand, go ahead. But don't you think I deserve a reasonable explanation for what just happe

Mila had warned Nathan earlier about a possible spy in their research department, and he took her concern seriously.As her curiosity grew, she quietly asked, "Who's the important target you planned to catch with my data?""It depends on who we catch," Nathan replied with a kiss on her forehead.Mila was dying to know more. She leaned forward and asked, "Can you share the plan with me?""No, your priority right now is to rest and look after yourself and the baby," Nathan firmly refused."I won't get involved. Can I just know the plan?""No."Mila pleaded softly, "Nate, please tell me, okay?"Nathan's heart softened at the sound of her voice, but he held firm for her and the baby's safety. "Just wait for the good news, and don't worry."He looked at her gently and tucked her hair behind her ear. "We'll find your family soon if everything goes well."Upon hearing Nathan mention family, Mila felt a sudden rush of longing and pain. She hugged him tightly, buried her face in his c

Lately, Mila had been receiving various food and supplies at the military base. She got used to it until today when Cole came five times. He brought fruit and pastries twice each, and finally, he brought some books.Mila thought it was strange. She initially thought Nathan was acting oddly, but now it was Cole. The last time Cole came to Mila's door, he had books with him, but he seemed to be searching the dorm. "Where's Phoebe?" he asked. "Phoebe's inside. Do you want to come in?" Mila replied with a smile.Cole hesitated, then handed the books to Mila and said, "It's fine. Can you ask her to unblock me? I need to talk to her."Mila liked the thought of Cole and Phoebe being together. She asked softly, "When did you upset her?""Must have been this morning," Cole answered, his expression filled with concern.Mila thought briefly before saying, "Then you'll just have to wait. She'll probably unblock you by tomorrow. She usually only stays mad for a day at most.""Okay, than

Mila was frustrated. She gathered her clothes and vented, "Fenna acts like she owns Nathan's place. She comes and goes as she pleases, in the house, the office, the dorm, without even knocking."She interferes not only in his work but also in his personal life. She's slowly taking over Nathan's life, and it would cause problems sooner or later. I need to keep a close eye on this."Phoebe completely agreed.…Later that night, Nathan walked through the brightly lit dorm building while texting Mila. "I miss you. Can you spend the night in my room?"Mila never replied. He sent another one right away. "Should I come to your room?"There was still no reply from Mila. Nathan felt a deep emptiness in his heart. He tightened his grip on his phone and continued walking.Fenna followed him closely. When she noticed he wasn't texting, she asked, "Did you two have another fight?"Nathan didn't feel like answering. Fenna continued seriously, "We need to check on the progress at the armame

The Wrong Woman Chapter 1088
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
