You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1094
"Talk about what?" Hailey crossed her arms and glared at Laura. "What's the matter? Are you scared? Or maybe you're afraid of showing your true colors to your colleagues?"Laura's coworkers were dumbfounded. They remembered seeing Hailey at the restaurant and assumed that Simon had dumped Laura and moved on.But it turned out that Laura had stolen someone else's husband. This was unexpected!Only Britney was worried for Laura. When Hailey had started a scene, Britney secretly called Simon's law firm to notify him and ask him to help Laura.After all, both women were tied to Simon in some way. Surely, he couldn't ignore this mess.Meanwhile, Hailey wasn't satisfied even after slapping Laura. She turned to Laura's colleagues. "Let me tell you all something. Your editor-in-chief is nothing more than a whore who seduces other people's husbands! She must be a great actor, or else you'd have seen through her already!"Laura's patience reached its limit. She suddenly grabbed Hailey's sh

Simon glanced at Hailey. "I don't need a shrew as my wife." Hailey was already seething with anger. But seeing how he still dared to act so righteous after catching him red-handed, added fuel to the fire. She shouted, "You're calling me a shrew? But it's all your fault! No wonder you said you didn't like me. You're in love with Laura, aren't you? Do you know I confronted her? Did she tattle on me? Is that why you're so mad at me?” "Laura?" Fiona murmured, staring at Simon in disbeliefHadn't they broken up already? That sly woman had taken a million dollars from her and promised to stay away from her son. Yet she had the nerve to go back on her word and ruin his life again? Fiona trembled with anger. "Explain this. What is going on?" Before Simon could respond, Hailey sobbed, "I'll tell you, Mrs. Moore! Simon has a mistress! He's been cold and indifferent to me because of Laura. I couldn't take it anymore, so I went to confront her. Now he's threatening to call off the

While the argument raged on, Fiona suddenly collapsed. She looked like she was having a seizure. Simon grew alarmed. "Mom!" He immediately pulled out his phone and called for an ambulance. Fortunately, the Brooks family lived close to Haven Hospital. As the paramedics carried Fiona away, Simon glared at the Brooks family. "If anything happens to my mom, I'll make sure you pay for it!" His gaze burned with murderous intent.As a businessman, William understood the power Simon held. Though Simon was just a lawyer, he held shares in numerous corporations and served as a legal advisor to many of them. His resources far surpassed those of the Brooks family. William felt regretful. He would never have involved Fiona if he knew this would happen. "This is all your fault!" William snapped at Hailey. "You insisted on bringing Mrs. Moore into this. And now look what's happened! How are you going to clean up this mess?" Hailey was still shaken by Fiona's condition. She wh

Simon's expression darkened, his eyes unreadable. "You chose to leave me back then and was the one who sought out Lionel. Would you have given up if I didn't let you expose the truth yourself?" Laura knew she could never out-argue him. No matter what Simon did, he could always justify it with logic. But he was always so ruthless. Laura nodded. "Why did you come here tonight? Did you come on behalf of your fiancée to inspect the damage? Fine. Now that you've seen how pathetic I am, leave." Simon sighed. "I've already broken off my engagement with Hailey. I apologize for the harm she caused you." "Broke… off the engagement?" Laura stared at him in disbelief. Simon met her gaze. "Yes, you heard me right. I'm ending the engagement. No one will look down on you even if you return to me." For some reason, Laura's heart began to race. She couldn't stop the words from rushing out of her mouth. "Simon, if…" Laura's voice choked as she hesitated. "Will you marry me if I come

After leaving that man, Simon had taken Fiona everywhere in search of medical help, relying on medication to keep her condition under control. Even so, there had been several relapses over the years. The last one was three years ago, and now it happened again. Simon was overwhelmed with guilt. He had been a filial son. He was aware of the suffering his mother had endured and did everything in his power to be good to her.But he failed her this time.The doctor reminded him, "Your mother will need someone to stay by her side when she wakes up. She might switch between episodes, and there's a risk of self-harm. You must avoid upsetting her further. Try to resolve any issues you have. The key to managing her condition is maintaining a positive mood." Simon rubbed his temples. "I'll leave her in your hands. Tomorrow, I'll bring over her medical history for you to review. Please proceed with whatever treatments you deem necessary. Don't worry about the cost."…The next morning

William realized that pushing the issue would only lead to more trouble. Considering Hailey's temper, there was no telling what might happen to their family if she clashed with Simon. So, even though Hailey wanted to keep arguing, William stopped her. He said cautiously, "Since your mother hasn't woken up, we'll leave for now and come back in a couple of days to visit her." Simon shot them a warning glance but said nothing and turned back around. …It was noon when Fiona woke up. "You ungrateful son!" Fiona pointed angrily at Simon. "I painstakingly picked out a good woman for you! Yet you drove her away! And didn't you say you had cut ties with Laura? Were you lying to me all along?" Simon quickly took out her medication. "Mom, take your medicine first, and then we'll talk about this." "I won't!" Fiona exclaimed. "I'll find that shameless girl myself if you don't make things clear! She took my money and dared lie to me. Don't forget. She signed an agreement. I co

Fiona finally calmed down. She nodded. "So, that's how it is. Why didn't you tell me earlier?" "I didn't want to bring up those old memories. I was afraid it might cause your condition to relapse." Simon sighed. "But no matter how careful I was, I couldn't prevent it from happening." Fiona eyed him skeptically. "Tell me the truth. Are you keeping her by your side purely for revenge? But won't she just keep seducing you? If you ask me, it'd be better to lock her up for life!"Simon looked at his mother helplessly. "There are laws, Mom. Locking someone up for life would be illegal detention! But keeping her close, humiliating her day after day, and then letting Harry see how much his daughter suffers is the best form of revenge, isn't it?" "You're right!" Fiona's eyes gleamed. "He must watch as his daughter pays for his sins. That way, all the suffering we endured won't be in vain. Simon, I misunderstood you. I thought… You'd developed feelings for that woman." Simon snorted

Laura sat quietly in her chair, a strange emotion welling up in her heart, but she quickly suppressed it. Simon had clearly told her that he would never marry her yesterday."Laura?" Britney called, snapping her out of her daze. "Are you okay?" Laura quickly regained her composure. "Thank you for yesterday. If it weren't for you, who knows how long Hailey would've kept causing trouble?" Britney smiled. "It's no big deal! I just love seeing you and Simon together. I really think Simon cares about you."Laura's expression turned serious. "Britney, please don't mention him again. It's over between us." Britney sighed. "Alright. But don't be too upset, Laura. Give it some time, and the others will forget all about it. If love doesn't work out, then focus on your career! You're the editor-in-chief. If you can write another good piece, you might even get transferred to the headquarters in Regalton someday!" Britney's words gave Laura an idea. Laura hummed. "We've been ass

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

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
