Simon continued talking with the woman who owned the store as if he didn't recognize her."Mr. Moore, I'm relying on you for this. My husband has already transferred a significant amount of assets, and I need to recover every last bit! And if you can help me secure custody of my son, I'll pay you triple your regular fees," said the woman.Meanwhile, Laura lowered her head and left the store hastily.After Simon finished discussing business with the store owner, he asked, "Ms. Woods, could you show me that necklace the young woman just brought in?"Sarah Woods smiled knowingly. "Do you know that lady, Mr. Moore?"Simon replied calmly, "Just a friend."Sarah had the clerk bring out the necklace.Simon hadn't expected Laura to have fallen to the point where she would sell her mother's necklace.He smiled helplessly. Laura was something else. She wouldn't seek his help even now.He turned to Sarah. "I'll buy this necklace."Sarah beamed. "There's no need, Mr. Moore. You've helped
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1027
Simon's gaze darkened.Yes, he was indeed bothered by this. Laura even trusted someone like Lionel. And she would rather sell her necklace in a run-down part of town just to draw a clear line between them.How could the proud Simon let this slide?So, naturally, Lionel became his outlet for anger. But Simon didn't show it. "Who she chooses to go to is her business. And whatever you choose to do is yours."Lionel sneered. "It's strange, though. Why would Ms. Scott come to me with a top attorney like you around? Could it be that she knows you too well and sees that your reputation is just for show?"Simon chuckled. "How long do you think your firm could stay afloat if Laura weren't coming to you? From what I know, since your office opened in Haven City, her case has been your golden goose. Do you have any other valuable cases?"Only someone as gullible as Laura would believe in a flashy but incompetent lawyer like Lionel!Lionel flushed with anger, but he couldn't retort.Indeed, he hadn

As the two were talking, the editor-in-chief came over. "Doreen, how's it going on your end? Have you met with Mr. Moore? You must complete the interview quickly. It'll be bad if another studio beats us to it!”Doreen was frustrated. "Mr. Moore is definitely a tough nut to crack. He wouldn't even spare me 20 minutes.”The editor-in-chief snorted. "It's not as easy as you think, is it? I think we should hand this over to Laura. After all, she's dealt with Mr. Moore a few times before.”There was no way Doreen would give up the hard-won opportunity. A sly glint flashed in her eyes. "Chief, my cousin knows Mr. Moore, so don't worry. I'll make sure this exclusive interview is completed. But… If my cousin arranges a gathering, someone will need to drink on my behalf, as I'm allergic to alcohol. There'll definitely be rounds of toasts at the table.”The editor-in-chief thought for a moment. "Should I assign a couple of interns to assist you?”"No need. Laura can handle her drinks well.

Finn hadn't expected Laura to be Doreen's colleague.Doreen noticed that Finn's gaze was fixed on Laura and joked, "Finn, don't tell me you've taken a liking to my colleague?"Finn was confident in his charm and experience with women. He pulled out the chair next to him. "Why don't you sit beside me?"Laura frowned, wanting to refuse the playboy. But when her gaze met Simon's amused look, she sat in the chair Finn had pulled out in defiance.To Finn, this was a sign of agreement.The other colleagues also took their seats, and the once-empty table gradually filled with lively conversation. The editor-in-chief stood up to toast Simon, "Mr. Moore, we're honored that you found time in your busy schedule to join us. We hope you'll continue to favor our department in the future."Simon clinked his glass with the chief's, but he didn't drink. "Apologies, my stomach hasn't been feeling well lately, so I'm not drinking."His polite yet detached response only reinforced the sense that he was tr

Laura's heart sank at Simon's indifferent expression. In moments like these, she knew she could only rely on herself. No one else could be counted on.Finally, Laura stopped holding back and gave Finn a small smile. "Apologies, Mr. Gasly, but you're not my type. Why don't you drink this one yourself? I've already had quite a bit, and I'm feeling a little dizzy."Finn felt humiliated, his face fell as he took Laura's response as an outright rejection. The alcohol he had made him grow bold and grabbed the back of her head, pressing the glass to her lips. "Ms. Scott, you'd better drink this. Otherwise, call your boyfriend here to drink with me. If he loses, you'll be my girlfriend. How's that?"The expressions around the table varied. Finn was clearly trying to provoke Laura, and no one wanted to get involved, especially with his connection to Simon. Some were genuinely worried for Laura, while others watched with amusement. Especially Doreen, who smirked and taunted, "Laura, what's wrong
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1031
Everyone finally realized why Laura could always ace an interview with Simon. As it turned out, Laura was Simon's woman!Everyone's gaze shifted to Doreen.Doreen paled and forced a smile. "Sorry, Mr. Moore. I… I didn't know Laura was with you."Simon didn't spare her a glance. Instead, he turned to the pale Finn. "What did you say earlier? You wanted to challenge her boyfriend to a drinking contest, right?""I…" Finn was sweating buckets. After all, Simon was the legal advisor their company had painstakingly secured. His father had practically begged Valor Law Firm to allow him to hire Simon for a steep price.Finn nearly forgot that their collaboration wasn't because Simon needed them. Their company had been entangled in lawsuits recently and was desperate for a good lawyer like Simon to resolve them.Finn picked up his glass and stammered, "Mr. Moore, I… I was wrong. Only you are worthy of a woman as outstanding as Ms. Scott!"That… didn't sound quite right either. Finn was

Inside a silver Bentley, Laura was held tightly in Simon's arms, lost in a passionate kiss.Simon's kiss was domineering yet tinged with tenderness, greedily savoring the taste of alcohol on her lips.It took all of her strength to push him away.Laura stared timidly at Simon through glossy eyes. He felt so close yet seemed utterly out of reach."Simon, what did you mean by what you said at the table earlier?" Her voice trembled as she questioned him. Unbeknownst to Laura, the alcohol had painted her cheeks red. Despite her accusatory tone, she still exuded an irresistible charm.Simon's breathing quicken. He reached out, gently brushing his thumb over her reddened lips, and replied huskily, "What's wrong? Do you find being my woman humiliating?"Laura's heart tightened at his words, but she knew there could never be anything real between them. He had never respected her. Everything he did was nothing more than a passing whim."I... I need to go." Laura turned to open the car

Laura could only offer an awkward smile. "I… I shouldn't use work hours for personal matters. I still have an article from yesterday to finish." She turned on her computer and acted as if she were fully engrossed in her work. Her colleagues whispered among themselves, wondering why someone who had snagged Simon, a lawyer earning tens of millions a year, would still care so much about a job paying only a few thousand a month. She was definitely just putting on a show!The editor-in-chief quickly pulled her aside. "You don't need to work on those basic articles anymore. Let Britney handle them from now on. Laura, let's be honest. How have I treated you? Wasn't I always on your side when Doreen bullied you?" Laura replied awkwardly, "Not… Not really?" The editor-in-chief cleared his throat to cover his embarrassment. "Well, at least you can admit I mentored you, right? Now that our news department is in a critical situation, don't you think it's time for you to step up?" L

After visiting Harry, Simon left the prison with a heavy heart.He drove along a mountain road, letting the cool air blow against his face. He smoked a few cigarettes to clear his mind before finally heading home.It was late when he got back. Laura was in the kitchen trying to make something to eat. Simon sighed and walked over. "Go rest. I'll handle this."He took the ladle from her and began cooking.Laura didn't leave. Instead, she stood to the side, lost in thought. When had Simon started becoming this gentle? He used to be so distant and untouchable.She had been with him for five years, yet she had never known he could cook.Deep down, Laura wished he stayed the same cold and unreachable figure. At least then, she could keep her feelings in check.Simon asked, "Why aren't you resting?""I… I've been lying down all day. I just wanted to stand for a bit." She came up with an excuse. After a brief pause, she hesitantly asked, "Did you smoke?"Simon only then noticed the

Harry finally realized Simon had orchestrated everything. He had believed the Jensens were the mastermind behind this.Suddenly, thoughts of his daughter flooded his mind. He tried to stand up and confront Simon, but the handcuffs and shackles restrained him, forcing him to remain seated.Harry glared at Simon. "What have you done to my daughter? Tell me! What exactly have you done to her?"Simon smirked. "Nothing much. I simply taught her how to serve me, please me, and keep me happy."Harry's heart dropped. The thought of his daughter, whom he had lovingly raised and cherished, reduced to Simon's plaything after his imprisonment, tore his heart to pieces.It was a fate worse than death. "You! What happened to your father back then was my fault! I take full responsibility!" Harry's voice trembled, "But Laura is innocent. I beg you, let her go. Don't hurt her! You can kill me if you want. I'm begging you. Please, let Laura go!" Simon gazed at the desperate man before him. Ye

It was as if Simon blamed Laura for always asking stubborn questions.Their relationship was far from normal. He didn't understand why she insisted on getting to the bottom of everything.Laura's heart dropped. She returned to the bedroom, feeling utterly lost. Her heart ached. Simon was the most ruthless, selfish, and self-serving man she had ever met.Everything she had endured last night seemed insignificant to him. What mattered to him was that his mother hadn't caused her death, sparing him from any trouble.Around noon, Simon entered the bedroom.Laura was sitting on the rocking chair by the window, staring outside. The once-proud Laura now carried a sense of melancholy.Simon's heart tightened seeing her pale face. Unfortunately, apologizing wasn't his strong suit. He was too prideful for that.Still, he walked over to her and stroked her hair. "Don't take what I said to my mother earlier to heart. It wasn't aimed at you. Laura, you've been with me for five years. I thoug

Simon's words comforted Laura.After finishing the soup, she burrowed back under the covers. She peeked out to gaze at Simon, who was working on the couch. She could never get enough of him no matter how long she looked.Even though she knew she was being pathetic, she couldn't help herself. She was charmed by Simon. Every move he made exuded the poise and charisma of a mature man. Especially when he was focused on his work, it always stirred a sense of admiration in her.Eventually, drowsiness took over, and she drifted off to sleep again. She wasn't sure how long she slept. But later, she groggily heard Simon's voice as he spoke on the phone.Simon was on the balcony, talking to Fiona. Fiona feigned innocence. "How would I know she was on the balcony? I just noticed it was about to rain and wanted to close the balcony door for you."Simon's tone sharpened. "Mom, there's no point in making these excuses. We're mother and son. I can see right through you. If you pull another st

Laura understood Simon was technically still single since he wasn't married yet. She could still deceive herself and live in denial. But he would become someone else's husband once he married. Would she want to be his mistress?If it came to that, even she would despise herself.Simon hummed. "You can decide for yourself when that time comes. You can leave if you don't want to stay with me. But my promise will be void. You'd better believe me when I say, only I can save your father."Looking at Simon's emotionless face, Laura suddenly realized how cruel and cold-hearted he truly was. The feelings she thought they shared, the love and devotion she had poured her heart and youth into, were but a transaction in his eyes.Laura nodded. "Then let's set a deadline. I'll give you one year. If, after one year, my father's case remains unchanged, then we'll… cut ties."Simon replied calmly, "Fine, as you wish. Now get some rest."Only then did Laura close her eyes and stop resisting his t

Simon didn't give Laura any chance to react. He took a sip and then lowered his head before capturing her lips.Laura's eyes widened as Simon forced her to swallow the soup. She pounded on his shoulders before Simon let her go.He demanded, "I'll have no choice but to feed you like this if you don't drink the soup and take your medicine."Laura glared at him, her face flushed with both anger and embarrassment. She grabbed the bowl and downed the soup in one go. Then, she took the cold medicine he handed her.Simon finally relaxed and tucked her in. "Sleep."But how could Laura possibly fall asleep? Especially when Simon lay down beside her, pulling her into his embrace. She gritted her teeth. "Can you not touch me? I'm begging you. Don't touch me!"Simon didn't respond. He held her tightly, his warmth radiating through the thin fabric of her pajamas.Later, he noticed Laura was trembling and thought she was cold.When he turned her to face him, he realized her eyes were red, an

A sharp pain pierced Simon's chest. In the next instant, he held Laura tightly, as though trying to shield her from the cold. But still, she trembled uncontrollably. Without hesitation, he rushed to fill the bathtub with warm water and slowly placed her into it.Simon stroked Laura's pale face, then gently instructed, "Stay in the bath for a while. I'll make you some peppermint tea. If you start running a fever later, we might need to go to the hospital."Having said that, he turned to leave the bathroom. But as soon as he closed the door, he heard her crying.Simon froze in his tracks, then turned and rushed back in. He quickly undressed and stepped into the tub before pulling her into his arms. "I'm sorry, Laurie. I'm so sorry I came home so late," he apologized in a hoarse voice. "I-I didn't know they would—""Go away! Don't touch me!"Laura shoved him away with all her strength. Her voice broke as she screamed, "While you were happily spending time with your family, I was

As soon as Simon finished speaking, he froze. He had repeated what Laura had told him that day, almost exactly.He was a lawyer. Yet, his response was far from professional. Laura's words and actions had crept into his thoughts without him even realizing it. The realization unsettled him, leaving him feeling irritated.Meanwhile, William avoided Simon's gaze, guilt written all over his face. "Why are you bringing this up again? I've already told you. Those people came from some poor countryside. They don't deserve one million dollars."Besides, who in the right mind would complain about having too much money? If I can settle this with 200 thousand dollars, why should I pay a million? Didn't you say you found evidence to clear Brooks Group of most of the responsibility?"Simon had indeed found such evidence. That crucial piece meant Nick's family couldn't demand much compensation. Yet, a tightness gripped his chest, as if something unseen was pressing down on him. For some reaso

Fiona fixed her gaze on Simon, then replied, "Tell me honestly. Do you really only see Laura as the daughter of our enemy? If so, why do you keep putting off your engagement to Hailey?"Is there something else on your mind? Let me warn you. If you've developed any sympathy for that bitch, I'll end my life right in front of you!"Simon's heart sank as he heard that. He could clearly see the unwavering determination in her eyes. He would never doubt Fiona's words. After all, it was Harry who had caused Anthony's death, and that had shattered her life completely.The humiliation and torment Fiona had once endured flooded Simon's mind. He clenched his fists, unwilling to dwell on it any longer.He knew that Fiona would never accept Laura. The incident was something Fiona could never get over. Suddenly, she became agitated and grabbed Simon's arm tightly. Her voice was desperate as she demanded, "Tell me now. Do you have feelings for that bitch? Answer me!""Mom, calm down. I promi
