You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1043
That evening, Laura gathered her things and walked out of the studio. As she reached the building's entrance, she was surprised to see Lionel waiting there. "Mr. Fowler?" Laura frowned. "Are you here to meet someone?" Lionel smiled. "I'm here to find you. So, how was the afternoon tea I ordered?" Laura froze, staring at him in disbelief. So, the afternoon tea wasn't from Simon but from Lionel. A wave of disappointment washed over her. Of course, why would Simon possibly do something like that? That wasn't his style at all. Even if he were to do something so romantic, it would only be for Hailey. What was she even thinking? How ridiculous to let her imagination run wild. "Ms. Scott?" Lionel reached out as if to touch her arm, but she quickly stepped back to avoid him. Laura muttered awkwardly, "Mr. Fowler, how much did the afternoon tea cost? I'll transfer the money to you." "There's no need." Lionel smiled. "Treating a beautiful woman to tea is my honor. Speaking of

Laura replied bitterly, "You don't need to waste your time on me. I only see you as my father's attorney." With that, she turned and left. She had hesitated and struggled when it came to Simon. Even now, she couldn't fully understand the game she was playing with him. But when it came to others, Laura was still as firm as always. No one could sway her. However, Lionel couldn't accept being rejected by a woman like Laura. To him, Laura was nothing more than a plaything Simon kept around, someone with no family background or a good career. It was only because Simon seemed interested in her that Lionel was willing to make an effort. Otherwise, he wouldn't have wasted his time on her. But despite all he had done, Laur failed to appreciate his efforts. Did she really think she could marry Simon? Or did she believe Lionel was inferior to Simon? Lionel brooded for a long time. It wasn't until he saw Laura walk to the driver's seat of a Bentley that he realized Simon

Simon snorted. "You'll pay for the damages? Quite the bold claim! Looks like Lionel is being very generous to you, willing to spend lavishly on your behalf. How exactly do you plan to pay?" Laura teared up at his words. If it weren't for Lionel, she wouldn't have been distracted and crashed the car. Her anger and frustration boiled over at the mention of Lionel. "Say whatever you want!" she snapped, stomping off. Simon followed her. "So, that's it? You're running away again? Weren't you the one who said you'd pay for the damages?" Laura stopped in her tracks, turned around, and glared at him. "Fine! Go ahead and sue me! Aren't you a lawyer? Go on, sue me!" Simon couldn't help but laugh at her childish defiance. He realized that without him holding the reins, Laura was like a wild animal set loose, completely unrestrained. She was headstrong, stubborn, and unreasonable. Did she forget that the leash was still in his hands? He had only loosened it for a while, and now sh

Laura quickly ran to the bedroom to retrieve the stomach medicine. She then poured a glass of water. "Here, take this."Simon noticed how alluring Laura looked despite being nervous. He swallowed hard as he accepted the water and medicine. His gaze darkened after taking it and he suddenly pulled Laura into his arms. He grabbed her chin and said huskily, "Do you care about me that much?" Laura felt as if he had hit a nerve. She quickly wriggled out of his embrace and denied, "Why would I? As you said, it's time to face reality." Simon's mood soured after not getting the answer he wanted. He said coldly, "I've been busy all night cleaning up the mess from the accident. And I haven't even had dinner. Why else would my stomach start acting up?" Laura felt guilty. "What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you." Simon ordered, "Make me some spaghetti." Laura nodded and quickly went to the kitchen. Simon's expression softened at her retreating figure. Not long aft

Laura's face fell as she hung the blue suit in the closet, carefully matching it with a tie and shirt before finally leaving.She felt this arrangement was quite good. She was nothing but an ordinary housekeeper and he was her employer. Neither of them would feel burdened or troubled. Who he loved or who he would end up with didn't matter. No, Simon probably wouldn't be troubled by any of that. The one feeling conflicted was her. Laura tried to clear her head as she walked down the streets. She hadn't felt too conflicted earlier, had she? She had calmly chosen the perfect suit for him to wear when meeting the family of his fiancee, after all. ... The next afternoon, the entire news department benefited once again thanks to Laura. "Laura! Simon is spoiling you. Today's afternoon tea is even fancier than yesterday's! It's from that famous restaurant at Gold Guardian. It's super expensive!" Britney's eyes sparkled with envy as she gushed over Laura. Her other colleag

Laura sneered to herself. Simon probably saw her as nothing more than a plaything. Why should she bother guessing what his actions meant? She shouldn't take Simon's every move too seriously. After all, he had plans to meet his future in-laws tonight! While lost in thoughts, her phone suddenly buzzed. It was a message from Simon. "How was the afternoon tea?"Laura's heart skipped a beat. She wanted to call him boring, but instead, she typed: "My colleagues said it was great. Thank you."Almost immediately, another message came through. "How does it compare to Lionel's?"Laura blinked in surprise. Before she could reply, the message was retracted. …At the same time, Simon sat in his office, shaking his head with a self-deprecating smile as he closed the chat. He was clearly wasting his time. Why would he compare himself to someone like Lionel? That was beneath him. Besides, Laura was just a woman he kept around. Why should he care about her thoughts or feelings? He could on

Hailey had grown up in a wealthy family and was skilled at dealing with elders. She took out a gift she had prepared and handed it to Fiona. "You mentioned that you often feel dizzy, so I got this herbal tea for you. Please try it. I'll bring more for you if it helps." "Hailey, you're such a thoughtful child! It's rare to find someone as considerate as you." Fiona praised her. Then she turned to Simon. "You'd better treat Hailey well. I won't let you off the hook if you miss out on such a wonderful lady!" Simon forced a smile. "Mom, let's invite Mr. and Mrs. Brooks in. We can talk while we eat." Fiona nodded. "Oh, right. I got so excited that I forgot. Come, my dear in-laws. Please take your seats!" With that, everyone sat down at the dining table. Sophia was pleased with Simon. She smiled. "Fiona, don't you think Hailey and Simon are a perfect match?" But William didn't share the sentiment. As a man, he could see Simon's indifference. There wasn't even a trace of

Fiona quickly turned to Simon. "Simon, raise your glass and toast William to apologize." Simon didn't want to, but he couldn't embarrass his mother in front of everyone. He lifted his glass and said to William, "I apologize for my thoughtlessness." William was determined to teach his future son-in-law a lesson. "That's it? A single toast? You should have three to start with! Simon, you're a lawyer. I'm sure you've had plenty of business dinners. I bet you can handle your liquor!" Simon didn't flinch and proceeded to drink with him. By the end of the exchange, William was drunk while Simon remained composed, with only a faint flush on his face.Hailey was fuming, secretly cursing her father for being so embarrassing. They were supposed to discuss their engagement over dinner. But instead, her father turned it into a drinking contest with Simon. And worse, he lost! Hailey wanted her mother to step in and salvage the situation. However, William had already begun ramb

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

Meanwhile, Fiona had taken Hailey to Valor Law Firm, and they waited for Simon to finish work. Both of them knew that as long as he didn't return home, Laura would be left out in the storm.Even so, that wasn't enough to quell the hatred burning inside them.Simon had no intention of dining with Hailey, so he snapped, "How could you bring my mom out in this weather? The rain is pouring down. You're a doctor. Surely you know she can't be exposed to the cold with her condition?"Fiona quickly stepped in to mediate. "What's wrong with you? Why blame Hailey?" She scolded him gently."It's been a while since I last visited you at work. That's why I asked her to come with me. Besides, a friend gave me some premium truffles. Since you two are always so busy, tonight's the perfect chance for both of you to enjoy a good meal."Simon wasn't about to argue with his mother. Hence, he reluctantly agreed. "Fine. Let me wrap things up, and we'll head back."…Half an hour later, all three re

As she spoke, Hailey strode toward the balcony to check. She was sure she had seen a figure reflected in the glass door between the living room and the balcony. Laura had to be hiding there.Just as she was about to yank the door open and drag Laura out, Fiona stepped forward and locked it from inside. Then, she turned to Hailey and said with a smile, "Why are you so jumpy today? It's about to rain. The wind rattling things outside is perfectly normal, isn't it?"Fiona's actions made Hailey abandon her suspicion. After all, a thunderstorm was expected that night.With the door now locked, Laura was trapped on the balcony with no way back in. Hailey couldn't help but pray for the lightning to finish Laura off.The thought sent a wave of satisfaction through Hailey. "Alright, I trust you, Mom. Shall we head to Simon's law firm and then return to the Moore residence together?" she asked. "Sure! Having you two around makes me so happy," Fiona replied, patting Hailey's hand affectio

Violet hissed through gritted teeth, "Oh, it gets worse! That bitch Laura has moved into Simon's place! A friend at the police station told me Jonah caught them coming out of Simon's garage together. That was how he had those photos."Hailey clenched her jaw, her anger bubbling over. She had only been to Simon's house once, and even then, he had thrown her out. She couldn't believe that Laura had the audacity to move in. "I won't let that bitch get away with this! I'm holding back for now, but once I'm Mrs. Moore, I'll deal with her," Hailey declared.…Meanwhile, Laura returned to Simon's place after work. Without wasting time, she started packing her things.Now that Jonah had been arrested, the stalking nightmare was finally over. Hence, there was no reason to stay here any longer.Although moving back to her rented apartment wouldn't free her from Simon's control, at least it was her own place.When she finished packing, Laura glanced outside. The sky darkened as thick cl

Miguel sighed, cursing himself inwardly for his stupidity. How had it taken him this long to piece it all together? The last name "Moore" wasn't common to begin with. When Simon started appearing in his life again after all these years, he should have connected the dots sooner.If he had, Simon's obsession with his refusal to take Harry's case would have been obvious.Simon's piercing, oppressive gaze bore into Miguel as he closed the distance between them. "What do you know about my father's death? How much do you know? Tell me!" he demanded. His voice was low, but it carried a dangerous edge. For a split second, Miguel's mind went blank. But a moment later, he yelled, "I don't know! Stop asking! Simon, don't forget. I'm your mentor. No matter how successful you are now, this isn't how you talk to me!"But Miguel's reaction gave Simon all the confirmation he needed. Clearly, the former knew something about Anthony's death. Yet, infuriatingly, he still wouldn't talk.Simon le

Laura's face clouded with worry. "So, what do we do now?""That's not your problem to solve. It's his," Simon replied. "The stalker's been caught, so there's nothing for you to fear anymore. Just carry on with your life. Leave Jonah to me."Even so, unease lingered. But Laura didn't want to deal with Jonah anymore. She had explained things to him countless times, always trying to reason with him.She never imagined he would go to such extremes and frighten her like this. So, this time, she decided not to intervene. Simon was experienced in handling situations like these, after all.…The next day, Simon went straight to Miguel's law firm. He wasted no time delivering the news of Jonah's arrest and outlined the events leading up to it in detail.Miguel's face drained of color upon hearing that."This can't be true!" he exclaimed, his voice laced with disbelief. "Jonah has always been well-behaved. He'd never do something like this! Simon, there must be some mistake."Simon's t

Almost immediately, Laura pulled out her camera and snapped a photo of the couple on the field. She figured she could ask Britney to write a small feature about it to fill some space in the paper.The young man knelt on one knee, holding out a ring as he asked, "Will you marry me?"On the other hand, the woman was overwhelmed. Tears streamed down her face, and she couldn't even manage a coherent response.Around them, the crowd erupted with cheers. "Say yes! Say yes!" they chanted.Laura stood silently, her eyes glistening as tears clung to her lashes. She envied the woman. There was nothing more beautiful than being proposed to by someone you loved and knowing you were cherished. Unfortunately, that kind of happiness would never be hers.Her choice to be with Simon came with a cost—she had to keep their relationship hidden. She had willingly let go of any hope of a public future with him, of sharing their happiness openly. One day, perhaps soon, Simon would stage a grand pr

Simon hummed softly before explaining, "The police retrieved the surveillance footage, but it wasn't enough to prove anything. Now that he's taken photos of us, we have solid evidence. This confirms he's been stalking and secretly photographing us."Only then did Laura understand why he had asked her out. The excitement that had been bubbling within her vanished instantly at that realization.She pulled her hand away from his, her voice tinged with disappointment as she said, "So, this is why you wanted to watch the fireworks. Well, now that we've got the evidence, can we go home?"But to her surprise, Simon took her hand again, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Who says we can't gather evidence and enjoy the fireworks at the same time?"Laura froze momentarily. He had a point.In the end, they went to Botanical Garden as planned. The fireworks show was just beginning when they arrived. On top of that, Simon had made arrangements beforehand. So, the garden's director personall

Laura blinked innocently and answered, "I was talking about myself."Simon fixed his gaze on her, narrowing his eyes slightly. "Should I call Alex over right now? You can ask him directly if he's willing to accept you."Laura hadn't expected to shoot herself in the foot again, and her face turned red from his teasing. Flustered, she shoved him away. "Oh, come on! I was joking!"I was asking on behalf of Britney. You know, my colleague. If Alex is single, why not let them give it a shot? Britney's great. She's cheerful and kind. They seem like a good match."Simon finally let out a scoff. "You've got a knack for worrying about everyone, don't you?"She pushed him toward his desk and replied, "Alright, that's enough. You should get back to work. I'll tell Britney and have Alex give her a ride back. It's a perfect opportunity for them to spend some time together."With that, Simon sat back down in front of his computer and got back to work.At the same time, Laura texted Britney, a
