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

Laura spat, "This is the last time! You'd better start looking for another cleaning service worker. And don't forget to settle my pay. You're a big-shot lawyer. Surely you're not planning to dodge me over a few bucks, are you?"Yet, Simon acted as though he hadn't heard her. A flicker crossed his dark eyes but vanished just as quickly."I'm taking my leave," he said coldly. Laura stared helplessly at the closed door. She knew he didn't care about a word she'd said. To Simon, it probably didn't matter how much she complained. As long as he held his ground, she wasn't escaping his control.…On the road, Simon had already noticed the black sedan following him from a distance.Without giving anything away, he turned down a different street, one that didn't lead to his law firm. Finally, he pulled into a dead-end alley.The place was desolate—a building project abandoned long ago. Now, the area was empty, even during the day. By the time the driver realized he had been led into

That morning, Sophia paced anxiously around the house, waiting for Austin's news. She was determined to find out which bitch had the audacity to try and steal Simon away from Hailey.Suddenly, a household staff hurried over, visibly shaken. "Mrs. Brooks, something terrible happened! A-Austin…"Sophia's heart faltered as she sprang to her feet. "Out with it! What happened to Austin?"The staff looked as if she had just seen something terrible. She pointed toward the doorway and replied, "You'd better come see for yourself."A sense of dread gripped Sophia as she rushed outside, where she found Austin sprawled at the entrance, bloodied and bruised. Worried that neighbors or passersby might see, she quickly ordered the household staff to bring him inside.Once they had him settled, Sophia called for a private doctor to tend to Austin's injuries. At the same time, she anxiously asked, "Who did this to you? Don't they know this is a crime?"And what about Simon? Did you get anythi

Sophia's face was clouded with worry. She let out a sigh and said, "Of course, he wouldn't dare sell us out. But whether he does or not, I honestly don't think Simon cares. He must know it was us. That's why he used such a tactic to warn us."Hailey, you need to let him go. A man like Simon is beyond your control. You saw what he did today. It was a warning.""You don't believe in me either?" Hailey's anger flared. "At the hospital, Jennifer's always better than me. My colleagues think I'm useless. "And now, even when it comes to men, you don't believe in me! Well, let me make it clear. I love Simon, and I want him. I don't care who the woman he's cheating on me with, but if I find out who she is, I'll make sure she's done for!"…At Valor Law Firm, Simon listened to the automated message informing him that the phone had been switched off.Frustrated, he tossed his phone onto the desk.Then, he massaged his temples, his frown deepening. The image of Laura, hiding in the wardrob

Simon knew Jennifer wasn't there for anything good. Without saying a word, he shot her and Laura a cold glance before getting into his vehicle.As his car vanished down the street, Laura finally let out a sigh of relief.Jennifer, however, was still fuming with anger. "Did he mess with you again? Laurie, be honest. What's going on between you two?""It's over. He came by asking me to do his housework, but I told him no," Laura replied lightly."You've finally broken up with him?" Jennifer exhaled, relief flooding her voice. "That's great! Laurie, you can't let him keep dragging you down. You're not together anymore, and he has the nerve to ask you to do his chores? Is he out of his mind?"But Laura didn't want to keep talking about Simon. If they went on about him, she'd just get more upset. So, she changed the topic. "Anyway, what brings you here today?" she asked. "I found a lawyer for Mr. Scott!" Jennifer exclaimed, her excitement bubbling over. "It's one of my patients. He

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
