You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 127
Maxwell suppressed his anger and spoke indifferently. "Did you get confirmation? What did Jennifer say?"Agnes continued to tarnish Jennifer. "Naturally, she still refuses to tell the truth. However, she'll admit it sooner or later. Plus, she'll also pay the price for doing something so evil."Maxwell continued to ask, "What are you planning to do?"Agnes replied seriously, "Of course, I'll send her to the police station and let the law punish her! How could Bridget lose her child just like that? All in all, your family also suffered a great loss."When Maxwell saw how stubborn she was, he started to worry about Jennifer.A hint of anger appeared on his face as he asked lowly, "Did you manage to find any evidence?"Agnes' expression turned grim. She lost her confidence as she whispered, "Not yet.""Okay. Since you didn't obtain any evidence, please cooperate and let me bring my wife back home." Maxwell was firm as he said, "If you find any evidence proving that Jennifer pushed B

"I'm afraid you can't wait for Jennifer's apology as you'll be questioned by the police soon. I'll let my bodyguards keep an eye on you. The police will come and look for you soon." Maxwell's voice was ominous. It was as if he came from hell himself.Agnes felt her heart leaping to her throat.She didn't expect that Maxwell would go as far as to report her to the police.After all, she was still Jennifer's grandmother.Agnes could only look on as Maxwell brought Jennifer away. Then, she rushed over to Jocelyn's room.Although Jocelyn heard what happened, she didn't dare to come out of her room.This was until Agnes knocked on her door and hurriedly called out to her.Jocelyn pretended to have just woken up as she opened the door. "Mom, what's wrong? Shouldn't you be asleep at this hour?""Josie, something bad happened! Maxwell came just now."Agnes didn't know Jocelyn was pretending to be oblivious. Thus, the former was thinking of asking her to devise a plan.However, the po

Maxwell asked worriedly, "Do you still have the energy?""I still want to wash up. After they locked me up in such a stinky place, I reek!" Jennifer complained.Maxwell grinned before probing, "How about I help you out?"Jennifer suddenly turned beet red. Her heart thumped as she whined, "You rascal. I won't let you take advantage of me!"After saying that, she quickly went into the bathroom and locked the door.When she finished washing up, Maxwell had also finished showering. Plus, he also ordered Martha to cook plenty of food for dinner.Maxwell pointed at the scrumptious food on the table. "Here. Eat all of it. Martha cooked them just for you."Jennifer smiled awkwardly. "I feel full. Perhaps I ate too quickly on the way home.""You should at least have the soup. I called Martha up in the middle of the night to cook all of these. You should at least have it for her sake." Maxwell looked at her dotingly.Therefore, she had the bowl of soup obediently.That night, Maxwell e

The next morning, Jennifer suddenly woke up from a dream."Let me out! No!" Jennifer screamed, covered in sweat.Maxwell quickly embraced her and comforted, "What happened? Was it a nightmare?"She calmed herself down and looked at him in a daze.Thankfully, it was just a dream. It was all over now!She let out a sigh of relief and asked, "What time is it? I think I have class today."Maxwell replied indifferently, "I already asked Michael to get you some time off. Don't go to class this week. Just stay at home and rest.""But I need to apply for my Master's soon. I … I can't afford to take some time off." Jennifer still wanted to head to university, even if she only stayed in the library.Maxwell smiled and replied, "I can still afford to support you even if you don't pass the exam. Don't put too much pressure on yourself, okay?"Jennifer rolled her eyes at him. "Do you want to make me your sugar baby? If that happens, don't I need to consider your feelings in everything I do

"Oh no, what should we do? Maxwell even dared to send your grandmother to prison. Will we be next?" Jocelyn grew fearful.Ever since Agnes was taken away by the police last night, she hadn't slept a wink.Bridget also became worried and hastily asked, "Have all the medical records from my abortion been destroyed? We're finished if those are discovered!"Jocelyn was confident and reassured her. "Don't worry, that doctor is in the same boat as us. If she doesn't destroy them and the truth is exposed, she'll be doomed too! After all, she plays a crucial role in our deception!"Bridget still wasn't at ease and nervously asked, "What about Delia? She won't wake up, right? Dad took her to Regalton. Has she been treated yet?"Jocelyn chuckled. "That old hag is as good as dead. I had one of the maids who was close to her son ask. Even the experts in Regalton said there's no hope for her! She'll be in a vegetative state at most!""Good." Bridget breathed a sigh of relief. "Mom, don't worr

Robert also saw through the mother-and-daughter duo's act. But the matter was settled for good since the child was gone and he had given them the proper compensation. It was best not to be involved with such people in the future. With that thought in mind, Robert gave them his regards before leaving.However, Maxwell stayed behind even after Jordan and Robert left the hospital ward. Bridget looked uneasy and asked, "Is there anything else, Mr. Lance?"Maxwell slowly approached her. "Are you sure Jennifer was the one who pushed you?"Bridget felt guilty and couldn't meet his gaze. Seeing this, Jocelyn immediately stepped in. "I saw it with my own eyes. Is there a problem? Besides, are you implying my daughter threw herself off the stairs because she didn't want the child?""Isn't that a possibility too?" Maxwell gave her a weird smile. "You'd better pray there are no openings in your scheme, otherwise..."Although Maxwell's words were soft, it was enough to make Bridget sweat buc

Zion had his doubts and sighed reproachfully. "If you were wronged, I would seek justice for you. But how could you let Maxwell go to such extremes? Your grandmother is well into her old age, yet she's being locked up. Even if she's released, society will frown upon her. She's still my mother!""What about me? Am I not your daughter?" Jennifer said with a heavy heart. "I didn't push Bridget. And where were you when Grandma locked me up and wanted to starve me to death? Did she view me as her granddaughter then?"Zion's tone grew stern. "Jennifer, this is our family's affair. It shouldn't be causing such a stir. Listen to me, have Maxwell release your grandmother. I can't bear to see your grandmother suffering in prison at her age.""Dad, I can't do anything about it." Jennifer looked disappointedly at Zion. "Besides, I don't want to."Zion grew anxious. He had only been away for two days, and the Yale family was in chaos, with some in prison and others having miscarriages.He look

Jennifer's heart ached. She had a soft spot for her father after all. But thinking of the injustice she had suffered, she asked through teary eyes, "Dad, do you know people can die from heat stroke? Moreover, I was locked in a dark room and forced to confess to things I didn't do. She has never shown any mercy toward me."Despite Jennifer's pleas, Zion only thought that she was conspiring with Maxwell to kill Agnes.He shook his head sorrowfully. "Jennifer, you've changed. How could you be so heartless? In that case, we're no longer a family! You're just the daughter-in-law of the Lance family. We can't possibly match your status or offend you!"With that, Zion turned and left.Hearing this, Jennifer's legs went weak, and she almost fell. Fortunately, Maxwell caught her and softly asked, "Are you okay?"Jennifer stared blankly in the direction Zion left as tears fell silently from her eyes. She choked, "What... What did my dad say? He... doesn't want me anymore... My dad doesn't w

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

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
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
