You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1106
Laura had just finished showering when she noticed several new messages on her phone. It turned out they were from Jonah. He introduced himself as a literature professor at Haven University. He had completed his doctorate at 24 and stayed on to teach. He had been working for a year now. Laura hummed to herself. With credentials like these, he must have been a standout back in school.After all, Jonah was charming, had a great demeanor, and was academically outstanding. Laura pondered how to introduce herself. Should she say she was living a luxurious life up until she turned 23 and then became Simon's mistress afterward?Compared to Jonah's enviable resume, Laura felt inferior.After wrestling with herself, she finally replied, "But I'm already 28 years old. I'm so much older than you." She figured this was a subtle way to reject him. Most men preferred younger women, after all. However, Jonah quickly replied, "Age is just a number! My parents are very open-minded, an

Laura smiled, surprised. "Where did you get this? It's so adorable."Jonah started the car. "While I was waiting for you downstairs, I noticed an arcade next to your office. I played the claw machine for a bit, and luck was on my side today. I got the biggest one!"Laura couldn't help but laugh. For a moment, she felt wistful. Perhaps being with a man as calculating and reserved as Simon for so long had made her forget joy.For the past five years, she had always been on edge around Simon. Now, she found herself envious of the sweetness and ease of dating someone like Jonah.Jonah's personality was the polar opposite of Simon's. Simon rarely spoke, and when they were together, the atmosphere was always stifling. Jonah, on the other hand, chatted while driving, sharing amusing stories about his work and students.Laura listened with a smile and occasionally added in. The atmosphere during the ride was lighthearted and comfortable.Before long, they arrived at Miguel's home.It wa

Simon took a portion of the documents and began flipping through them. He knew every detail about Harry's case better than anyone. Every word in this file was etched clearly in his mind.However, as Miguel reviewed the file, his calm demeanor shifted to one of gravity. His expression became serious and even betrayed a hint of panic.Laura's heart sank, and she asked anxiously, "Mr. Gosling, is my father's case very difficult to handle?"Just yesterday, Miguel had seemed so confident. Now, his hands trembled as he forced a smile and tried to appear calm. "Ms. Scott, is your father being charged only with these crimes? Are there any other accusations?"Laura thought for a moment, then shook her head. "I don't think so. Everything is in the file. Why? Is there a problem?""No… Nothing." Miguel quickly shook his head, and drank from his cup, trying to conceal his nervousness.Simon quietly observed everything, a sense of unease creeping over him.Harry's case was complex but not so

Jonah was stunned. Had his dad lost his mind? Why was Miguel siding with Simon? Wasn't he supportive of him and Laura earlier? What was with the sudden change? Simon chimed in, "Sir, we'll take our leave now. Don't worry, I'll make sure Ms. Scott gets home safely." Miguel nodded. "Simon, I'll leave it to you then." Laura was frustrated. How had she ended up under Simon's control again? But she couldn't refuse in front of the Gosling family since she didn't want them to know about her history with Simon. She had no choice but to bid them goodbye and left with Simon. Jonah hurried after her. "Laura, wait! I'll come down with you!" Not wanting to embarrass Jonah, Laura said, "Your mom worked hard hosting us tonight. Stay and help her out, okay?" Jonah scratched his head awkwardly. "I know, I just wanted to grab the plushie from my car for you to take home."Laura suddenly remembered the plushie still sitting in Jonah's car. So, the three of them headed downstai

Miguel shot May and Jonah a look. "You two sure let your imaginations run wild. Do you know the kind of person Simon is? Plenty of women wanted to be his girlfriend, and he could pick and choose among them. Do you think he'd just fall for anyone? But look at Jonah. He's already head over heels for Laura after one day." May piped up, "I think Laura's a great girl. She's beautiful, polite, and well-spoken. Didn't you say yesterday you liked her too?" Miguel masked the unease in his eyes. "But I've decided Laura isn't suitable for Jonah after some thought. Her father's criminal record is a serious issue. If they were to get married, their children could face all sorts of obstacles in life." Jonah had fallen for Laura. "You knew about her dad's past yesterday! But you didn't oppose it then. What changed?" Miguel slammed his hand on the table. "I said no, and that's final! Do not meet with Laura again. Our family has always upheld a good reputation, and we won't tolerate being i

Simon slammed on the brakes. Laura's back hit the seat hard. She looked at him, confused. "What are you doing?" Simon's expression turned ugly and he growled, "Get out." Laura froze before quickly exiting the car. Immediately after, the plushie was thrown at her, landing on the ground beside her. Laura quickly picked up the plushie and gently brushed off the dirt. She yelled at Simon's car, "You're such a jerk!" Though he had abandoned her on the street, the area still had public transportation. Laura managed to catch the last bus home. Upon arriving, she texted Jonah to let him know she was safe. Jonah replied, "What took you so long? Do you live far away? I've been waiting."Laura responded: "Yeah, it's quite far. Please thank your parents for hosting me tonight. I'll visit them again soon."Jonah sent her a happy emoji. "My family really likes you!"His enthusiasm only made Laura feel guiltier. When would she find the courage to tell him about her past? Jo

It was just an ugly plushie. Why was Simon acting like he had won a major case? Was it worth all this effort? Over the next half hour, Simon managed to snag two more plushies. However, he had already burned through hundreds of tokens. He stared at the plushie inside the claw machine with an unreadable look.Throwing the remaining tokens aside, Simon turned to Maxwell. "Let's go grab a drink." "Absolutely not. I only sneaked out to check on you because I was worried. If Jennifer finds out I'm out drinking with you in the middle of the night, she'll kill me," Maxwell said. Truth be told, he was just way too curious. What could have happened to turn the composed Simon into this? Maxwell had known Simon for over a decade and had never seen him like this before. Still, getting Simon to spill the truth was impossible. Maxwell spent an hour in the middle of the night accompanying Simon while he played with a claw machine, yet he hadn't managed to extract a single word from him

Laura swallowed the words she wanted to say, unable to reveal her complicated and shameful past with Simon. The two arrived at a seafood buffet near Haven University, a popular spot for students and couples. Fortunately, they came just as a wave of diners left and easily found a table.Just as they were settling in, a well-dressed girl approached them, glaring sadly at Jonah. She pouted. "Mr. Gosling, didn't you say you were too busy and didn't have time? Yet here you are dining with another girl!"Jonah looked embarrassed. "Violet, this is my girlfriend. My girlfriend would get upset if I ate with you." "Your girlfriend?" Violet turned to Laura in disbelief before glaring back at Jonah. "Since when did you get a girlfriend? Everyone says you're single!" Jonah scratched his head awkwardly. "We only started dating recently. How about… You join us?" Jonah didn't know how to handle the situation. Violet's eyes reddened with anger. She huffed in annoyance before storming

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

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
