You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1056
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

Laura exhaled deeply and responded, "I don't care what happens to Simon anymore. Whether his life gets better or worse, it's none of my concern. The only thing that matters right now is that the lawyer I found can get my dad out as soon as possible.""I was actually going to suggest you try the lawyer I found," Jennifer said with a touch of regret. "But since you've already hired someone, I'll let it go."By the way, he has a son around our age. He visits my patient at the hospital a lot, and I hear he's single. His dad even asked me if I knew any single colleagues, hoping I could set him up with someone."The food on Laura's fork slipped off and landed on her plate. "You don't mean you're trying to set me up with him, do you?" she asked, her tone tinged with resignation."I was thinking about it. You have no idea. He's really handsome and tall. On top of that, he's a university professor. I think he's a great catch. You should at least consider it. We can't let good things pass

With that, Jennifer followed Laura upstairs to her apartment.They navigated the chaotic streets, climbed the crowded stairs, and squeezed through a narrow hallway before finally reaching Laura's tiny apartment.However, the noise from outside felt a million miles away once they stepped inside.Laura had managed to make the small space feel warm and cozy. Moreover, it was immaculately clean. Still, the cramped apartment made Jennifer feel a pang of sympathy for her.Laura poured Jennifer a cup of warm milk, urging her to drink and warm up. With red-rimmed eyes, Jennifer asked, "How much do you need for the lawyer? Laurie, be honest with me. Are you struggling financially right now?"Laura pursed her lips, then replied, "The lawyer's fees are high, but I've almost managed to scrape enough together.""Stop lying to me," Jennifer said, guilt creeping into her voice. "I know I've been neglecting you and not caring for you like I should have. That's why you've had to go through al

With a grin, Britney winked at Laura. "But I love seeing you and Mr. Moore together. Every time I see you two, it feels like I'm watching a romance drama!"Laura was somewhat speechless upon hearing that. A romance drama? To her, her relationship with Simon was more like something out of a tragic TV show. In an instant, her colleagues started urging her to call Simon. Yet, Laura simply replied with a smile, "He has a business dinner to attend tonight. Besides, this is just a department get-together. If he were here, it'd be hard for us to really enjoy ourselves, right?"And just like that, she managed to sidestep the awkward moment.Laura silently noted that she had to find time to set the record straight with her colleagues. She needed to make it clear that her relationship with Simon was over. Otherwise, they'd continue seeing them as a couple.…Later that evening, Laura and her colleagues headed to a nearby seafood buffet after work. But with such a large group and it bein

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

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
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1186
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
