You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1078
Laura retrieved the bank card Jennifer had hidden and placed it in her drawer. She knew Jennifer hadn't come over just to share a meal. But she didn't expect Jennifer to give her a bank card despite having already transferred her a large sum of money last time.Though Laura was touched, she knew this couldn't go on forever. Friendship was meant to be a source of mutual support, not a burden on each other. …Meanwhile, at the Moore residence, after dinner, Hailey offered, "Simon, let me change your bandages. I need to check how bad your injury is. What if it gets infected?"She pulled out a medical kit. "I even brought my tools. I'm a surgeon, so I'm better than those clinics when it comes to treating wounds."Simon replied flatly, "No need. I can go to the hospital tomorrow." Fiona interjected, "Why are you being so ungrateful? Hailey brought her kit just for you! Besides, we already have a doctor here at home. An esteemed surgeon, no less. Why do you insist on going to the hos

Simon stood up and glanced at his watch. "It's almost 9:00 pm. I still have work to do so I'll head out first."Fiona stopped him. "What about Hailey? It's late. How can you let a young woman go home by herself?"Before Simon could refuse, Hailey quickly interjected, "Mrs. Moore, I drove myself today. Since Simon has work to do, let him leave."Fiona grew even more pleased with Hailey. She turned to Simon. "See how thoughtful and considerate Hailey is? I won't allow you to mistreat my future daughter-in-law!"Simon forced a smile. "As long as you're happy."With that, he left the house.A sly glint flashed across Hailey's eyes as she said to Fiona, "I'll head out too, Mrs. Moore. I'll visit you soon."Fiona nodded. "Alright, drive safely, and send my regards to your parents when you get home." Hailey left the Moore residence, got in her car, and followed Simon's car. She was determined to find out what exactly Simon was rushing back for. Was it work or was there something el

Simon's expression turned unpleasant at Hailey's relentless pursuit. "Do as you please. But if I catch you following me or sending someone to follow me, there will be consequences. Go ahead and try me!" With that, he got into his car and drove off.Hailey stood there, grinding her teeth in frustration. Simon's gaze earlier was terrifying. It was like he would destroy her if she followed him any longer. But how would she find out who that woman was if she didn't follow him? … By the time Simon returned to Laura's apartment, it was nearly 10:00 pm. He knocked on the door, but no one answered. However, he could see that the lights inside were on through the peephole. He took out his phone, only to realize it had died. His knocking grew louder. "Laura, open the door! If you don't, I'll have someone come and unlock it for you!" As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened. Laura stood at the doorway but didn't let him in. "Mr. Moore, I think you've come to the w

Laura sat quietly across from him, noticing that the bandage on his hand had been replaced. She had wrapped it so messily yesterday. But now it looked professionally done.She immediately thought of his fiancée, who was a surgeon.Bitterness rose in her heart. Even as he ate the soup she had made, it felt like a reward from him.Simon finished the soup and even ate the chicken leg."It tastes good," he said.Laura silently took the bowl and went to the kitchen to wash it.Simon followed her to the kitchen and suggested, "I can hire a housekeeper for you."Laura paused, then turned around to look at him as if he were crazy. "Simon, do you think I can afford to hire a housekeeper right now? Or are you just trying to mess with me?"Simon shrugged. "I'll hire one and cover the costs."Laura placed the cleaned bowl aside, wiped her hands, and turned to him."I know what you mean, Mr. Moore," she lowered her gaze, "Do you plan on keeping me like before by arranging a place for me t

Simon's heart broke. He knew. But his obsession and resentment ran deep, so he could only continue to be cruel to her. It was the only way he could heal the wounds of his childhood and make up for the suffering his mother endured for him over those years.Simon's expression remained indifferent. He silently picked up the necklace, walked over to her, and helped her put it on.Laura could feel his fingers gently brushing against her neck.Simon's voice rang. "You should always have a backup plan in life. Don't place all your hopes on Lionel. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll end up losing terribly."With that, he walked toward the door, seemingly about to leave."Wait!" Laura called out to him. "How much did you pay to buy back this necklace? I'll pay you back."Simon glanced at her. She remained firm as if to salvage what little dignity she had left. Everything she had done and said showed she wanted to distance herself from him.Simon frowned. "Didn't you still have some unpaid wage

Indeed, Lionel had signed a contract with Patricia in order to keep his law firm afloat. If he won the case, Patricia would pay him two million dollars. However, if he lost, not only would he get no reward, but he would also have to pay Patricia two million dollars. Simon smiled at his embarrassed expression. "My guess was spot on, right?" Lionel gritted his teeth. "Simon, don't get too cocky. This case is as good as won. You will lose to me!"Simon was astonished by Lionel's confidence.Lionel continued, "You even got hurt for Laura and went up against someone like Michel. Doesn't that show how important Laura is to you? But don't forget, your woman is in my hands!" Simon hated being threatened, especially by someone like Lionel. He couldn't believe Lionel dared to say such things. Lionel thought he had found Simon's weakness and pushed on. "Simon, think about your lover. I know you'll make the right choice." Simon smirked. "I won't let Michel off. I'll also enjoy wat

Laura turned away to avoid Simon's gaze and ran off. It wasn't until she entered the lift that she realized she was crying. She quickly took deep breaths to calm herself and touched up her makeup. After waiting in the private room, Lionel finally entered with a middle-aged man.Laura quickly stood up. Lionel introduced, "This is the judge, Mr. Chime." Teddy chuckled. "Please don't call me that, it could be bad if someone overhears." He smiled at Laura. "Ms. Scott, my name is Teddy Chime. Since we're having dinner together, we're on the same side!" Laura studied him, her eyes filled with suspicion. Teddy had to be over 50, so wasn't he close to retirement? She had visited the courthouse for interviews before. And Teddy didn't have the air or demeanor of a judge at all. Lionel walked over to her and reminded, "Laura, why are you zoning out? Aren't you going to greet him?" Laura had no choice but to shake his hand. "Hello, Mr. Chime. I'm grateful for your help with my

Laura glanced at Teddy and bit down her anger. "I'm sorry, Mr. Chime. I'll think of another solution. I apologize for taking up your time." With that, she grabbed her bag and quickly headed for the door. Suddenly, her legs went numb, and her strength left her body. She collapsed to the ground, and a strange heat began to rise within her, growing stronger with each passing moment. It was so hot... Laura suddenly realized her situation. She mustered her remaining strength and glared at them. "What was in that drink?" Teddy and Lionel exchanged a perverse look. Lionel patted Teddy's shoulder. "She's yours now, Mr. Chime. But remember, we agreed you'd help me smooth things over with Michel's case!" "Don't worry!" Teddy smirked. "I've got several students working at the courthouse. I still have connections even though I don't work there anymore!" Laura finally realized that Teddy was no longer a judge. She never expected Lionel to be such a scumbag! After finalizing t

You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1196
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
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1194
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
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1192
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
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1189
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
