You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1048
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 Before she could reply, the message was retracted.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

Hailey pulled up at Lakeshore Estates, eager to get a glimpse of Simon's home. This was, after all, the most exclusive neighborhood in Haven City. The houses here were insanely expensive, and money alone couldn't secure a property.The Brooks family was well-off, thanks to their business. However, when William returned to the country and tried to buy a house at Lakeshore Estates, he found it impossible to secure one. So, Hailey found herself especially intrigued by anything to do with Simon. Just as she was about to step out of the car, Simon spoke. "Thanks for the ride. You can drive my car back.""I…" Hailey was momentarily stunned. Did he really see her as his chauffeur?She quickly parked the car, got out, and said with a hint of coyness, "Simon, it's my first time here. Aren't you going to invite me in?"Irritated, Simon rubbed his temples. "It's late. You can visit another day," he replied. "Besides, I've had quite a bit to drink tonight. I'm exhausted and not up for co

However, Simon was already on his feet. He nudged Haily toward the door, making it clear it was time for her to leave.Right then, Hailey spotted a pair of women's combat boots on the shoe rack by the door. She hadn't noticed them earlier because all the shoes were black. But these were unmistakably smaller. They definitely belonged to a woman. The sight of the boots sent her thoughts racing.On the other hand, Simon's pupils constricted sharply as he noticed them too. Was Laura still here?Without a second thought, he opened the door and said, "Ms. Brooks, I'm afraid I can't see you out."Hailey had been ready to call him out right there, but doubts crept in. What if she had misunderstood, or what if she couldn't find any solid proof?Simon could easily talk his way out of it. After all, he was a lawyer and had a way with words. In the end, she would become the unreasonable one. With that in mind, Hailey had no intention of leaving. She was determined to catch this shamel

Hailey strode to the balcony and quickly opened the door. Unfortunately for her, there wasn't a soul in sight. Simon studied her reaction, and finally, relief settled over him.Hailey's expression turned grim. She even began to doubt herself. Could it be that Simon hadn't hidden anyone here at all?Suddenly, a faint noise caught her attention. Both of them immediately turned toward the wardrobe in unison.A smug smile tugged at the corner of Hailey's lips. She glanced at Simon before heading toward the wardrobe.But in a flash, Simon grabbed her arm and snapped, "Hailey Brooks, that's enough! I've put up with you long enough! Since you got here, you've been searching every corner of my home. I've shown you the entire place, so what more do you want? My patience has limits!"He was usually the picture of composure. Hailey had never seen him particularly happy or upset. But now, he was visibly anxious. Did that mean he had something to hide?"Why are you so nervous? I just want

Laura's formal and indifferent demeanor sparked an inexplicable irritation in Simon, or maybe he'd had a bit too much to drink that night. But either way, he could feel a tension simmering inside him. He stared at Laura as she spoke, watching the way her lips moved. Suddenly, a surge of desire flared within him.Simon's gaze grew hazy, and he fought back the urge to pin her down before asking lightly, "Why are you still here so late? Were you waiting for me?""Your iron broke, and I spent ages fixing it!" Laura immediately shot back. "Don't worry. I only see you as my employer now. I'll do my job, take my pay, and that's it. I have no other intentions, least of all waiting for you to return!"Simon chuckled. A hint of intoxication softened his features, giving him an unexpectedly cool and gentle air.Then, he raised a hand. His slender fingers brushed over her flushed cheek as he asked, "Only see me as your employer, huh?"A pang of unease shot through Laura. She knew all too we

But in the end, Hailey hesitated. She was afraid of angering Simon, worried he might end things between them in a fit of rage.And so, she went home with that conflicting feeling gnawing at her.…Sophia, who had been dealing with her drunken husband, was still awake at this late hour.As soon as she saw Hailey walking in, she asked in disbelief, "Hailey, what are you doing back here? Didn't you leave with Simon? So, y-you two didn't—"Before Sophia could finish, Hailey burst into tears. Her fury boiled over as she complained, "I finally understand why Simon has been so cold to me! It's because he's seeing another woman!""W-What? Did he tell you this?" Sophia inquired, her face turning pale."How would he ever admit something like that?" Hailey sobbed while recounting everything that had happened at Simon's place. Sophia's anger flared as she listened. "Why didn't you confront him? I can't believe it! I always thought he was a decent guy and a perfect match for you. Clear

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

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
