You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1148
When Laura said that, Simon had already walked over. He told the staff, "Wrap it up."Violet was startled and looked at Simon in disbelief. "Aren't you Hailey's fiancé?"Simon had only met Violet once at the Brooks family's gathering. But he recognized her voice.Laura immediately understood that the woman she'd met at the seafood buffet that day was Hailey's cousin.Violet sneered. "Does Hailey know you're buying a bag for another woman?"Simon's expression darkened. "Does she need to know?""You!" Violet glared at them. "How dare you show off your mistress? This bag is a global limited edition. But that bitch isn't worthy of it!"Simon took out his Gold Guardian limited-edition card and handed it to the staff. "Wrap it up."The staff immediately got to work. After all, one couldn't obtain the card with money. It symbolized wealth, power, and status. Gold Guardian only issued five cards each year.One could imagine how rare it was. So, the staff would rather offend a rich,

Laura walked out of the store in a daze. Through the glass door, she saw Simon pull out his phone to make a call before saying something to Violet.Soon, Violet ran out of the store, crying.Simon exited the store as if nothing had happened and took Laura's hand.Laura felt uncomfortable and pulled her hand away, walking toward the underground garage on her own. She lost her mood to shop.This was the first time in five years Simon had willingly accompanied her to shop for clothes. Laura would have found anything Simon bought precious. But now, the clothes, shoes, and accessories he helped pick out had lost their charm because of the news she heard from Violet.Simon noticed Laura's change in demeanor. They walked silently, one in front of the other. It wasn't until they got in the car that Laura broke the silence. "Why did you lie to me? You're about to marry Hailey. I wouldn't have stayed if I knew."Laura's voice trembled and she looked out the window, not wanting him to se

Laura's voice trembled. "You lied. You and Hailey never broke up. You… You're already talking about marriage."Simon paused. "I didn't lie. But my mom likes her, and I can't ignore her feelings."Laura nodded and smiled bitterly. "So… I'm just supposed to please you? I don't even have the right to know that you're about to get married, is that it?"Simon caressed her cheek. "Who said I'm getting married?""But you and Hailey…" Laura couldn't finish her sentence.Simon's gaze lingered on her. "I promise I'll let you go if I really do get married someday."Laura's heart sank and she swallowed her sorrows. She forced a smile. "I'll remember that, and I hope you keep your word."Simon studied her, his breath growing heavier. Suddenly, he swept her off her feet and carried her toward the bedroom.Laura was docile in his arms, her hands awkwardly clutching his collar. Simon felt like he had become addicted to her body. His body felt hot every time he touched her. That was why he coul

Simon couldn't bear to think about the "what-ifs". It would only fuel his hatred and regret over his father's death.Fiona placed the flowers on her husband's tombstone. "Anthony, don't worry. Our son has grown into a remarkable man and has avenged you. He sent that asshole, Harry, to prison and tormented his daughter in every possible way. We won't give them peace, so your spirit can finally rest."Simon's expression darkened at this, and a wave of guilt and conflicting feelings washed over him.He once kept Laura by his side and took every opportunity to torment and humiliate her in the name of avenging his father. And he felt accomplished by doing so. The more Laura and Harry suffered, the stronger his sense of vengeance grew.He used to enjoy making Laura suffer. But slowly, he began to dislike seeing her cry. And couldn't help but be kind and protect her.Simon felt an overwhelming sense of shame as he stood over the tombstone. It served as a warning bell, reminding him that

Simon sent Fiona back home. Before leaving, he reminded her, "Mom, don't tell Hailey about our family's past. Also, I don't want the Brooks family to know why I keep Laura around. It'll only complicate things."Fiona was puzzled. "But wouldn't telling Hailey stop her from misunderstanding you? After all, you're just taking revenge on Laura, but Hailey doesn't see it that way."Simon's expression hardened. "I don't care what she thinks. I've discovered new clues about what happened with Dad. I don't want anyone else interfering.""New clues?" Fiona was intrigued. "Was Harry not the only one behind what happened?"Simon's gaze was unreadable. "Maybe he wasn't the only one."After all, Miguel had started revealing his true colors, and Simon could now follow the trail to uncover more.Simon reassured Fiona, "Mom, you're still recovering. Stay home and rest. Don't worry about these things. The best way you can help is by not causing me any trouble.""Alright, then I… I won't say anyt

Fiona was filled with doubt and unease, and her hatred for Laura grew.After Hailey left, she immediately asked the driver to take her to the studio.Meanwhile, Laura had just returned from a party. Her task today was to interview the entrepreneur hosting the event.When she returned to her office, the guard said, "Ms. Scott, a lady came to see you earlier. She's been waiting in the lounge for about ten minutes.""Alright, thank you." Laura assumed it was Jennifer and entered the lounge with a smile.Unexpectedly, the person waiting was Fiona.Laura closed the door and stood near the entrance, not daring to approach.Looking at the gloomy Fiona, Laura suppressed her nervousness and asked, "Is there something you need?"Fiona scoffed. "Oh, nothing much. I just wanted to see how shameless a woman could be. You're still sticking around my son after taking my money."Laura did feel guilty. After all, she had accepted the money and agreed to Fiona's request. But Simon knew about th

Laura could no longer maintain her composure. Her heart dropped and she couldn't help but tremble even though she knew Simon would never say such things to Fiona. Laura believed Simon wouldn't feel that way.To avoid showing weakness in front of Fiona, she took a deep breath and said, "I have work to do. Please leave."Fiona huffed. "Stop pretending! Do you think I believe you care about this measly job and its salary when you're clinging to Simon? Listen, if you're going to be someone's mistress, you need to act the part. You have to be good to the man and his family. Especially to the Brooks family. It's only because they tolerate you that you're allowed to stay by Simon's side."Fiona was satisfied when she saw Laura's pale face. Her son's method was brilliant! Keeping the daughter of his enemy by his side to humiliate her was far more satisfying than killing her.Fiona could tell from Laura's reaction that she had fallen in love with Simon. After all, she could easily see throu

After trying to open the door without success, Simon had no choice but to knock."Laura, open the door." His voice was calm and cold. "I know you're inside."Laura snapped, "Don't look for me again! You have your own home, don't you? This place isn't your home. A run-down apartment like this can't hold someone as noble as you!"Silence met her. A few minutes later, Laura peered through the peephole and saw Simon was gone.Laura sighed, though she couldn't tell whether it was relief or disappointment she was feeling.With Simon's proud and stubborn personality, there was no way he would tolerate her acting out.Laura muttered to herself, "It's better if he never comes again."With that, she began cooking some soup and went to take a shower. By the time she finished, the soup would be ready to eat.However, when Laura emerged from the bathroom, she was shocked by what she saw.The lock on her door was shaking as if someone was tampering with it, and it was clear that someone was

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

Violet hissed through gritted teeth, "Oh, it gets worse! That bitch Laura has moved into Simon's place! A friend at the police station told me Jonah caught them coming out of Simon's garage together. That was how he had those photos."Hailey clenched her jaw, her anger bubbling over. She had only been to Simon's house once, and even then, he had thrown her out. She couldn't believe that Laura had the audacity to move in. "I won't let that bitch get away with this! I'm holding back for now, but once I'm Mrs. Moore, I'll deal with her," Hailey declared.…Meanwhile, Laura returned to Simon's place after work. Without wasting time, she started packing her things.Now that Jonah had been arrested, the stalking nightmare was finally over. Hence, there was no reason to stay here any longer.Although moving back to her rented apartment wouldn't free her from Simon's control, at least it was her own place.When she finished packing, Laura glanced outside. The sky darkened as thick cl

Miguel sighed, cursing himself inwardly for his stupidity. How had it taken him this long to piece it all together? The last name "Moore" wasn't common to begin with. When Simon started appearing in his life again after all these years, he should have connected the dots sooner.If he had, Simon's obsession with his refusal to take Harry's case would have been obvious.Simon's piercing, oppressive gaze bore into Miguel as he closed the distance between them. "What do you know about my father's death? How much do you know? Tell me!" he demanded. His voice was low, but it carried a dangerous edge. For a split second, Miguel's mind went blank. But a moment later, he yelled, "I don't know! Stop asking! Simon, don't forget. I'm your mentor. No matter how successful you are now, this isn't how you talk to me!"But Miguel's reaction gave Simon all the confirmation he needed. Clearly, the former knew something about Anthony's death. Yet, infuriatingly, he still wouldn't talk.Simon le
