You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 119
Zion didn't want things to turn ugly. After all, Jennifer was at the Yale residence as well. If he had a falling out with Jordan, it might make her life difficult.Because of that, he made the driver get Jocelyn from her parents' place.…At noon, Jocelyn marched pompously into the Yale residence without any hint of the fear from yesterday.Jennifer knew for sure that Bridget had told Jocelyn about Jordan's visit, which fueled Jocelyn's arrogance. Jocelyn even brought along Agnes from the countryside, knowing that Zion's dislike of her wouldn't matter as Agnes would side with her.After being sent to live in the countryside after attempting to hurt Jennifer, Agnes seemed more well-behaved this time. She warmly greeted Jennifer, "Jennifer, you're home!"Jennifer flashed a cold smile at her. "Hi, Grandma."Since Agnes had never treated Jennifer as a granddaughter, Jennifer didn't bother to go beyond basic manners.Turning to Jordan, Agnes enthusiastically complimented him, "Is

At the end of the lunch, the marriage discussion ended fruitlessly, but Bridget did not seem bothered.She wanted Jordan to pay a grand visit to back her up.After lunch, he followed her into her bedroom. He asked, "So, what now? I did everything you asked of me." In a pleading tone, he said, "Don't you think you should keep your word and get the abortion?"She said cunningly, "What's the rush? I gain nothing by getting an abortion right now.""What else do you want?" Simmering in anger, he questioned, "You wanted me to pay a visit to back up you and your mom, and so I did. How are you planning to torture me now?"She handed him a magazine. "Look at this rare pink diamond. There are only two in this world; one was made into a necklace, and the other was made into a bracelet. "Maxwell won the bid for the necklace a few days ago at an auction. I guess it was a gift for Jennifer. I can't lose out to her!"Jordan had never been interested in jewelry, but he admitted that the pink d

Jocelyn was caught off guard for a moment before she answered in disdain, "Her? I'd much rather she go as far away as she can so she won't be an eyesore to me. But no, she didn't go. "However, she's packing up now. I'm sure she wouldn't want to stay here without your father around.""That's great!" Bridget chuckled. "I won't be able to stage my show without her here!"Jocelyn simply stared at her in confusion. "You… What exactly do you have in mind? Bridget, we can't act rashly anymore!"We've already gotten on your father's nerves. Besides, now that you've lost your child, we don't know for sure if you'll be able to marry into the Lance family. We've got to watch our every step now!""Don't you worry, Mom." Bridget huffed with a malicious look in her eyes. "I promise I'll destroy Jennifer thoroughly this time round!"…At the same time, Jennifer was already done packing up her things and was ready to go home. After all, Zion wasn't at home, and she knew that everyone else in

Jennifer's heart sank instantly as she halted her steps. The very next second, she saw Bridget sprawled out on the ground with a puddle of blood under her."Ah! It hurts! My tummy…!" Bridget wailed in agony as she clutched at her stomach.Jocelyn hurried over when she heard the commotion. "Goodness! Bridget! What happened?"When she ran over, Jocelyn shoved Jennifer aside rudely and screamed at her, "You vile wench! What has Bridget ever done to you? Why did you do this to her?"Help! Anyone, help! Quick! Call Glory Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital now!"Jennifer felt like her head was a mess. The puddle of blood on the floor was enough to send her head spinning.A liitle later, she heard the wailing sirens of an ambulance paired with Jocelyn's and Agnes' screaming.But Jennifer wasn't someone who shirked from responsibility. Besides, she'd never expected Bridget to come tumbling down the stairs like that. As such, she bolted out the door and followed behind the ambulance. T

Robert was startled by what he heard, and Jordan stared at Jennifer in disbelief. H-how could that be?Before Robert even started saying anything, Jordan began to defend Jennifer. "Are you sure? Did you see for yourself that Jennifer pushed Bridget? She isn't someone who would do something like that!"Jocelyn then recalled what Bridget told her, so she said, "How would you know what kind of a person Jennifer is? And on what basis are you vouching for her? "Bridget had often seen you and Jennifer behaving intimately with each other, but she chose to not make a big deal out of it. That's only because she didn't want to make things ugly and destroy their sisterly relationship."Are you challenging me to make things between you and Jennifer public? Could it possibly be because you were the one who instigated her to push Bridget? Did the two of you agree on it?"Jordan paled when he heard Jocelyn's words and quickly retaliated, "That's ridiculous! Jennifer's my sister-in-law, and th

Robert gave Jennifer a good look, but he already had an answer. Jennifer was certainly not the kind of person Agnes painted her to be. How could she be when she was still comforting him when she was in such a sticky situation herself?Robert sighed before saying, "Go back with your grandmother."…Bridget was finally pushed out of the operating theater that night. The doctor made it a point to emphasize that she was in a precarious state due to excessive blood loss.Jocelyn then said aggrievedly, "Mr. Lance Senior, as you can see for yourself, Bridget's in bad shape. It's unfortunate that she wasn't able to bear the Lance family a child."Heaving a sigh, Robert said, "She has indeed suffered a lot. The Lance family will not run away from our responsibilities. We shall compensate her whatever is due."Jocelyn's heart sank when she heard that. Judging based on Robert's words, Bridget had no more hope of marrying into the Lance family.Now that Bridget had lost her child, Robert no

"Yeah, something's happened back home. I need to go back immediately."Maxwell's expression was grim. He couldn't be bothered about Rachel's feelings now. Rachel's gaze hardened. She clearly heard Maxwell mention Jennifer's name.Still, she masked her emotions and walked up to him to massage his shoulders. Then, she asked in a whiny tone, "Can I go back with you, then? I don't want to stay here alone."She was worried that once Maxwell went back, he'd be hogged by Jennifer. Besides, she was tired of pretending to be depressed and having sessions with that so-called therapist every day. She was worried that she'd fall into her own web of lies and actually succumb to depression if this went on any longer.But Maxwell said, "You need to stay here. The doctor mentioned that your therapy needs to be consistent and that you cannot break it off. If you return with me, you'll have to start your therapy all over again."However, Rachel was insistent. "I'll be fine as long as you're with

After ending the call with Zion, the female housekeeper asked, "Mrs. Yale Senior, Ms. Jennifer has not eaten or drunk anything for a day. Should we give her some water?"Agnes instructed, "No need! We'll give her food and water when she admits she pushed Bridget down the stairs. Otherwise, continue to starve her. I bet she'll confess by then!"Under Agnes' orders, nobody cared about Jennifer anymore.It was already late at night, which meant it had almost been a day.Jocelyn also returned from the hospital and complained to Agnes about how sad Bridget was. Now that the child was gone, so was the Yale family's prosperity.Agnes gritted her teeth in anger. "What did we do to deserve a bastard like her? Why did we even accept her in the first place? Zion is so unlucky to have met them." Jocelyn felt even more confused after hearing that. It seemed that Agnes was saying that Jennifer was not from the Yale family.After all, if Jennifer was the Yale family's grandchild, Agnes wouldn

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
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1191
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
