The Wrong Woman Chapter 98
Cole still had his eyes closed. "Indeed. During lunch today, General Morrison stared at the chicken leg on his plate for a very, very long time. In the end, he didn't eat a single bite."Lucas was bewildered. "General Morrison isn't the type to waste food."Cole nodded. "You're right. He gave it to me." The memory of it still made his mouth water.Lucas leaned closer to Cole and said in a hushed tone, "How about I go to Phoenicia and bring Madam back?""Forget it. Have you ever seen a newlywed couple go without meeting calling, or texting each other for ten days? They probably don't have feelings for each other," Cole mumbled.Lucas nervously glanced at the door to make sure no one was around and whispered, "Cole, let me tell you something."Cole was swept along by Lucas' nervousness and quickly opened his eyes. He leaned closer. "What is it?""The letter that Madam left for General Morrison was thrown into the trash can on the first day," Lucas whispered."As expected." Cole
The Wrong Woman Chapter 99
"She's someone very impressive!" Florence sighed helplessly.Suzanne frowned with unease.Seeing Suzanne's lack of self-preservation, Florence couldn't help but remind her again, "Even Nate avoids her. Her return this time will surely bring chaos to the family again."Suzanne was curious yet worried.Florence felt her irritation grow. The two sat in silence for a while and neither struck up a conversation.Suzanne tried to break the silence. "Mom, I noticed you were busy with the greenhouse. Is there anything I can help you with?"Florence suddenly remembered. "Oh, right! The flowers in the greenhouse are all in bloom. If you have the time, please help me cut some and put them in vases. Place them around the house when you're done."Suzanne nodded with a smile. "I have time. How many vases do you need?""The vases are already in the greenhouse. Come, let me take you there." Florence subconsciously grabbed Suzanne's wrist and pulled her along.Suzanne felt a profound sense of j

Upon entering the house, a few maids brought tea and snacks. Nathan sat down and chatted with Florence for a while. But his mind wandered and he found his gaze drifting toward the front door.Florence soon noticed his lack of focus. "Nate, what's wrong? Are your men still waiting outside?""No, they've gone back to rest." Nathan snapped back to reality and took a sip of tea.A pleasant fragrance filled the air. Nathan pursed his lips and paused.Florence smiled. "Do you like it? Suzanne was the one who chose the tea, It's a good tea. Also, it's not easy to prepare this tea. Suzanne says the water temperature shouldn't be too high as a higher temperature will make it bitter."Just hearing Suzanne's name made Nathan's heart skip a beat. He gently placed the cup down and cleared his throat. "Seems like you're getting along well."Florence sighed. "That girl is quite simple-minded. She's soft and gentle in character, and she can do anything she sets her mind on. I sometimes wonder
The Wrong Woman Chapter 101
Suzanne was overwhelmed with shame and discomfort when her thoughts laid bare. She gradually lowered her head.Fuming in anger, Nathan let go of her hand and uttered, "If you want a divorce, just tell me. I won't make you stay. Don't use tactics like this to upset me."Tears began to well up in Suzanne's eyes, burdened by a heart heavy with pain and sorrow. She bit her lip and struggled against the urge to cry.Leaving Nathan was not her desire, but she felt powerless to change the direction of their relationship. She grappled with the weight of not wanting to be defined by a troubled past she couldn't undo.Yet, she found herself trapped. Every day felt like a battle for survival, and she felt like a soul slowly withering away.Nathan picked up on her profound sadness, and his own heart sank in response. Realizing he had been too harsh in his words, his gaze softened as he looked at her.In a gentle tone, Nathan said, "Share what's troubling you."Suzanne stayed quiet, and Nath

Nathan froze in place when he heard the question. After a short pause, he answered calmly, "It just seems like a good way to keep your tears at bay."Out of the blue, a soft voice interrupted their moment. "Did you finish setting up my flowers?"Suzanne rushed back to her spot, grabbed her tools, and began trimming. "Almost done, Florence."Florence walked in and saw that none of the flowers were arranged. Some empty vases still sat on the floor, waiting to be taken care of.Confused, she glanced at Nathan. "Nate, didn't you mention coming over to—""Mom, go home and rest. We'll handle it here," Nathan spoke in a louder voice, trying to drown out whatever she was going to say. He swiftly put his arm around Florence's shoulders and guided her away. After seeing Florence off, he returned to find Suzanne focused on trimming the flowers.Nathan grabbed a pair of scissors and took a seat across from Suzanne. He observed how she did it and silently started helping. The peaceful, swee

Nathan's eyes glowed with a mysterious intensity, and a chill surrounded him.With a touch of annoyance, he said, "You simply left a message and disappeared. Isn't that a bit rude? Can you at least give me an explanation?"Suzanne found herself in a tight spot. She couldn't spill the beans about being a possible Nightshade spy.Norvania's military base specialized in producing weapons and housed a highly confidential armory. Being a spy, Suzanne knew she couldn't linger at the military base.The risk of being suspected if any classified information leaked was too great. She was determined to avoid that accusation at all costs.She left without notice because her mind was a chaotic mess at the time, and she couldn't come up with a proper excuse to say goodbye amidst the confusion."I..." Suzanne hesitated.Nathan couldn't stop looking at her lips. Each little move of hers made his heart race. His throat was dry, and he felt the urge to kiss her.He swallowed hard and asked, "Wh

Nathan led Suzanne to the dressing table and gestured for her to sit down.Meanwhile, he settled on the bed and adopted a serious tone. "Suzanne, in situations where we don't have solid proof, it's wise to be cautious and skeptical."Suzanne was a bit puzzled. Nathan sensed that she might not have encountered much of the real world. Maybe she had been sheltered from it. Or it could be that amnesia protected her from the harsh realities of human nature."I have a hunch you could be a Nightshade spy, but without proof, it's just a suspicion," Nathan explained patiently."Did the informant you killed lie?" Suzanne asked."He wasn't the one who tried to harm you earlier. I've scrutinized the footage extensively. Their body sizes don't match."Also, the vice-captain, who's usually armed with a gun, wouldn't resort to a knife for an assassination attempt," Nathan responded.Suzanne was taken aback. She hadn't expected Nathan to delve so deeply into the matter."The vice-captain mig

"Guess what? I went to more than a dozen countries this time. It was super awesome!" exclaimed a woman in her 50s with excitement.Her chattering made it feel like she was in the midst of a lively market. Suzanne approached everyone awkwardly. Nathan noticed her and patted the space next to him on the couch, inviting her to sit.Suzanne was grateful for Nathan's thoughtful gesture. She joined Nathan on the couch and noticed a poised young woman sitting across from her. The young lady was elegant and had her eyes fixed on Suzanne.In the first few minutes of Suzanne settling down, she observed the whole family quietly enduring the constant talk of the middle-aged woman.The woman, decked out in jewelry, looked quite affluent. As she casually picked up her water from the coffee table and took a sip, she noticed Suzanne sitting next to Nathan.Her eyes widened. Without waiting for Nathan to make the introduction, she took the initiative to introduce the young lady beside her."This

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
The Wrong Woman Chapter 1087
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
