You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1152
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

Simon finally understood the situation. He sighed, walked over to Laura, and gently wiped the tears off her face. His voice softened as he asked, "Did my mother come to see you?"But he knew the answer even without Laura answering. Fiona must have said something hurtful to upset Laura. After all, no one knew better than Simon how strong-willed and prideful Laura was.However, he also knew his mother. At the very least, she hadn't mentioned anything about the past. "I'm sorry if my mother said anything that hurt you, I apologize on her behalf." Simon pulled her into his arms, stroking her hair gently to soothe her anger and frustration.Laura's voice was low and tinged with disappointment, "Even though her words were harsh, I know everything she said was true."Simon hummed. "What exactly did she say to you?"Laura lifted her tear-streaked face and said softly, "You said you'd let me go if you got married. But you've gone back to your hometown with Hailey, and you ignored me for

After listening to Simon's explanation, Laura looked at him with a serious expression, surprise, and curiosity flickering in her eyes.She was surprised because the Simon she knew wouldn't have been so patient, nor would he explain himself. With the nature of their relationship, he didn't have to explain anything to her.Yet the more he behaved this way, the more Laura's heart swelled, making her deceive herself and sink into this tangled web.She buried herself into his chest and hugged his waist tightly, her head resting against his heart.Her voice was barely above a whisper. "You didn't reply to my messages these past few days. I didn't know what I did wrong. You should at least tell me if you're getting married. I won't cling to you. But I don't like not knowing where you are."Guilt struck Simon. He gently held Laura and murmured, "You didn't do anything wrong. My absence the past few days… was my fault."The truth was, he still hadn't figured out what to do with Laura. Eve

Simon sat across from Laura, eating elegantly. It was a stark contrast to Laura's casual demeanor. Laura couldn't understand how such a perfect man could exist. It turned out there were men who were good at work and house chores.Her heart tightened when she thought about how all these wonderful qualities might one day belong to another woman. "Do you want more?" Simon asked. "I can share some of mine." Laura finished the soup in her bowl and shyly shook her head. "No, I'm fine. I… I already ate so much. I'll gain two more pounds tomorrow." Simon chuckled. "What's wrong with gaining weight? You're all bones. It'd feel much better if you had some meat on you."Laura shot him a playful glare. Why was he so proper during the day but flirty at night? She changed the subject. "When did you learn to cook? I remember Jennifer said Maxwell learned to cook because he couldn't get used to the food while studying abroad. What about you?"Simon froze, caught in a memory. He sa

After a night of passion, Laura felt soreness all over her body, and her legs seemed like they didn't belong to her.Even breakfast was prepared by Simon. In the morning light, Simon stood in the kitchen in a white shirt. His black trousers made his legs appear even longer. Laura let her gaze linger on him. She tilted her head, staring at him with infatuation. No matter how long she looked, he was simply breathtaking. Noticing her staring, Simon glanced at her while flipping eggs. "Why are you staring at me like a hungry wolf so early in the morning?" Laura quickly withdrew her gaze. "I wasn't looking at you. I was staring at the food." Simon finished frying the egg and slipped it into a piece of toast. Laura beamed at the breakfast. "Mr. Moore, your cooking is a million times better than mine. Why don't you make breakfast every day from now on?" Simon flicked her forehead. "You're getting greedy now." Just then, Laura's phone rang. She answered the call while

Simon pressed Laura against the wall and kissed her.Yet, this was what hurt her the most. He had never cared whether she wanted it or not. In fact, there were so many unresolved issues between them. However, Simon seemed utterly indifferent and showed no intention of addressing them. He kissed Laura for a while. Just when she thought he might take things to the next level, he abruptly stopped.Simon's breathing was unsteady, his voice low and hoarse as he said, "Go take a shower. I've got work to do and can't keep messing with you."It was only then Laura realized he had drawn her in. Now that he had stopped, her cheeks still burned, and she couldn't shake the lingering pull of desire he'd stirred.Simon seemed to notice her unease. He then asked with a smirk, "Or would you rather continue?"Laura's heart skipped a beat. She quickly pushed him away and lowered her head. "I'll go shower."As he stared at her retreating figure, the lust in Simon's gaze gradually faded. In the

In the next moment, Simon's lips curled into a smile. "It was Maxwell who called me and asked me to come help you with this. Don't forget, Jennifer isn't just your best friend. She's also Maxwell's wife and the mother of Caleb and Cassidy."Did you even check if Maxwell was okay with you staying at their place? Not everyone is as comfortable with you as Jennifer is."Laura wanted nothing more than to shut him up. However, she couldn't deny that he had a point. Apart from Harry, Jennifer was the only one who had ever treated Laura like family. While Jennifer might never push her away, that didn't mean everyone else would be as kind. That house belonged to Jennifer, but it was Maxwell's too.At that moment, Laura felt completely alone and helpless. …Just like that, she quickly packed a few essentials and followed Simon back to his place in the dead of night.He then pointed to a small wardrobe and lightly instructed, "You can leave your clothes here for now."After opening it,

Laura cried in Simon's arms for what felt like an eternity before finally lifting her head. Her voice carried a hint of grievance as she said, "Why wouldn't you believe me? I told you someone was following me, but you still didn't trust me."Simon gently wiped her tears away. "I'm sorry. That's on me."But Laura shoved him aside, her tone defiant. "Spare me the fake concern. I've reported it to the police, so it doesn't matter whether you show up or not."A flicker of amusement passed through Simon's dark eyes as he studied her. "Really?""Of course!" Laura lifted her chin, as if she weren't afraid of anything. "I'm trained in martial arts and can protect myself. Besides, the police are involved. Even without you, I'm not scared."Simon couldn't help but chuckle. Suddenly, his arm snaked around her waist, pulling her close again. "Who was trembling in fear earlier? The same person who stayed holed up in the bedroom all night because she was too afraid to come out?" he teased in

Only then did Maxwell understand the reason behind Jennifer's anxiety. He grabbed her arm and said, "Why does it have to be you? What about Simon? Didn't you say they had made up? "This kind of damsel-in-distress situation should be his job. It feels like we're overstepping if we take matters into our own hands, don't you think?""What's wrong with that? Laura is my best friend! If I don't help her now, who will?" Jennifer shot Maxwell an irritated look before adding, "This is the perfect chance to show Laura that she can't rely on Simon. Otherwise, she'll just fall deeper for him. Well, unless he's willing to marry her. Do you think he will?"Maxwell softened his tone and replied, "Let's set aside the question of whether he will marry her or not. Think about it. If Laura stays with us, she'll have to watch us all lovey-dovey, living our happy family life. How do you think that will make her feel?"I know she's your best friend, but this is just how humans are. We can't help but

Laura anxiously waited as the police retrieved the surveillance footage. But in the end, all they told her was that the alley she had mentioned was in an area slated for demolition. Hence, no cameras had been installed there. When she suggested they start investigating from the street where her office was located, the officer replied, "Miss, if we follow your suggestion, it would require a massive undertaking."We have other cases to handle as well. Please, go home and wait. If we find anything, we'll notify you immediately, okay?"Laura's urgency stemmed from how terrified she felt. After all, it was the first time she had been followed. Still, she didn't want to make things difficult for anyone. Since the police officers had made their stance clear, she decided not to press further and relented. Before leaving, she couldn't help but plead, "Please, do your best to look into this as soon as possible. Contact me immediately if there's any news."With that, she left the station,

Laura's heart pounded violently in her chest. She immediately pulled out her phone, instinctively thinking of calling Simon. However, she remembered they weren't on speaking terms, so she dialed Jennifer's number instead. A nurse answered the phone. "Hello, Dr. Susan is currently in surgery. Please call back in two hours."Left with no choice, Laura reluctantly called Simon. His deep voice came through almost immediately. "Hello, what is it?"Simon's voice, though pleasant, held an icy undertone. Laura knew he was still angry. But right now, someone was following her. She couldn't afford to care about anything else—not even her pride.She gripped the phone tightly, her voice trembling as she said, "S-Someone's following me. Can you come pick me up?""What?" Simon's response was indifferent. Then, he mockingly added, "Aren't you a martial arts expert? A good fighter, right? What's there to fear from a thief?"After all, Britney hadn't been able to secure her interview with hi

Simon finally looked up from his computer screen and gave Alex a stern look. "Do you not understand what I said, or do you have nothing better to do? Should I assign you more tasks?""No… No need for that! I'll leave now." After being scolded, Alex left the office dejectedly. Britney was still waiting downstairs. Seeing him come out, she rushed up eagerly. "So? How did it go?"Alex scratched his head and forced a smile. "Mr. Moore said… Ms. Scott needs to come in person." Britney sighed, disappointment written all over her face. "I knew it!" Alex was about to console her when she suddenly broke into a bright smile. "Still, coming here today wasn't a total waste. At least I ran into my high school classmate and got your number!"She winked at him playfully and added, "We're both from out of town. So, we've got to look out for each other!"Alex was flustered and nodded. "Of course!""Well, I'll get going then. Let's keep in touch!" Britney shrugged off the rejection. Althou

Britney hesitated but finally gave in. "Fine, I'll give it a try." … With Laura's task weighing heavily on her shoulders, Britney set off for Valor Law Firm solemnly.As expected, it turned out exactly as she had imagined. She was turned away almost immediately.She recalled the last time she had come here with Laura. Back then, Laura had also waited for a long time. Determined to ace the interview, Britney decided to stick around and wait. Surely Simon would meet her, considering how she always supported him and Laura and had even tipped him off before. "Britney!" A voice suddenly called out. Britney turned around and her eyes lit up with surprise. "Alex? What are you doing here?" Britney added, "I had some business here. Wow, you've changed so much since high school! Do you work here? Everyone here looks so formal in their suits.""Yes, I work here." Alex was happy to see a classmate. "Are you here because of some trouble? Do you need a lawyer?"Britney explaine
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1168
After leaving Simon's office, Laura headed straight to the studio. The workday had ended when she arrived, and all her colleagues had left. Laura sat at her desk, turned on her computer, and began writing down everything she had seen and heard today. With her fingers furiously typing away, she poured out the full story of Brooks Group's workplace incident. Whether it was out of anger or agitation, the keyboard clattered loudly beneath her hands.In just 20 minutes, she had completed a full article. As she typed the last word, she began to calm down. Looking at the article that was filled with sympathy for Nick's family and criticism of Brooks Group, Laura realized she was betraying her journalistic integrity.She hesitated before deleting the draft. After all, she was a reporter. She shouldn't bring her personal feelings into her work. This article contained too much of her own bias. Such a news piece would be unprofessional. Laura sighed. She checked her phone but ther
