You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1049
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
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1053
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

Simon put on a serious expression and teased Laura further. "You really don't remember? Hugging and kissing me like that?"His words painted such a vivid picture that she was mortified at the thought of doing something so embarrassing in her sleep. Laura's cheeks turned red as she retorted, "Even if I was sleepwalking, why didn't you wake me up?"She then glanced down to check her clothes. Everything was fine, untouched.With a quiet sigh of relief, she headed to the bathroom to freshen up, grabbing a disposable toothbrush and toothpaste along the way with practiced ease.Laura quickly washed up and was ready to leave Simon's place. It was as though she were avoiding the plague.At that moment, Simon was reading a financial newspaper at the dining table.As Laura passed through the living room, she didn't even spare him a glance. She had hidden in his closet the night before to avoid his fiancée. Now, his place felt suffocating with the weight of her humiliation, and all she

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
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1193
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
