You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 152
Frida proceeded to explain to everyone, "This is the bracelet I sold. So, I know it better than anyone else."After saying that, she looked at Bridget and asked, "Miss, may I have a look at your bracelet?"Bridget shot Frida a disdainful glare. She thought the latter was there to cause trouble.With an arrogant demeanor, Bridget extended her hand and said, "Look carefully then! This is a rare pink diamond worth tens of millions."Frida examined the bracelet before saying with a faint smile, "Miss, this diamond of yours is lab-grown. "Real diamonds have a pure, white sparkle with exceptional brilliance and hardness. While yours is a dyed moissanite, even the refracted light is multicolored."At that moment, several wealthy women who knew Frida mockingly told Bridget, "Mrs. Lowe is a jewelry appraiser. She's been in the industry for decades. No one knows jewelry better than her."Right away, the situation took a dramatic turn. Jennifer could not believe it and immediately looke

Jennifer froze. It took her quite a while to steady her heartbeat.With a cold smirk playing on his lips, the man gripped her chin with one hand and said, "Impressive. Making a scene at the ball because of jealousy, huh? Did you and your sister happily sign up to be treated like playthings?"Jennifer understood his insult. She forcefully pushed his hand away and retorted, "Mind your words! Maxwell Lance, even if I'm being toyed with, what does it have to do with you?""Is that so? Let me show you just how much it has to do with me, then!"In an instant, a glint of menace flashed across Maxwell's eyes as he suddenly pulled her closer.With a swift turn, he pressed Jennifer firmly against the cold door."Maxwell, you!"Jennifer refused to believe he would act recklessly. After all, people would pass by outside at any moment.It was not until she saw the flicker of desire in Maxwell's icy gaze that she realized she was wrong.There was nothing he would not dare or could not do.

Jennifer felt a sharp pang in her heart upon hearing that. With an indifferent tone, she replied, "This has nothing to do with me. You can do whatever you like."She had endured the mockery of many at the ball, as well as the bullying of Bridget. However, not only did Maxwell fail to help her, but he also humiliated her in such a manner.He finally crushed the last straw in Jennifer's heart, and she finally gave up all hope.Rachel's name was haunting her like a nightmare, constantly echoing in her ears.It struck Jennifer that Maxwell might never disrespect Rachel like that. A wry smile played on her lips, with a hint of mockery. Suddenly, Maxwell felt his sincere explanations might come across as unwarranted to Jennifer.His expression turned cold, saying, "I'll have the driver take you home later. Also, take off the bracelet and return it to Jordan as soon as possible. Don't let me see you wearing it again!"Jennifer did not respond. Instead, she stared at the bracelet in

Maxwell took out a packet of cigarettes, lit one up, and took a deep drag, allowing the smoke to enter his lungs. With each exhale, he felt like a weight had been lifted from his chest.…After Laura left the lounge with Jennifer, they slipped out of the venue through the back door. Jennifer remained numb even as they sat in the car.But her tears continued to flow as if floodgates had opened within her.A forlorn smile played on Jennifer's lips as she uttered inexplicably, "He probably couldn't bear to treat Rachel like that, right?"Having experienced Maxwell's affection and gentleness, Jennifer knew better what a man's love should look like. Everything he bestowed upon her was precious, yet it was readily available to Rachel.Laura's rage intensified as she understood what Jennifer meant. She slammed the steering wheel hard and declared, "Jennifer, have you made up your mind? Once you've decided, I'll help you with the divorce!""We can't fight with him," Jennifer res

At that moment, Simon's phone rang. Even without a caller ID, he knew who the caller was. But he had not expected the call. In fact, Simon had given Laura his card at the ball, which she tossed away in front of him. Yet here she was, calling him. Simon glanced at Maxwell beside him, answered the call, and deliberately put it on speaker. Laura's voice came through. Her tone was no longer arrogant like before. Instead, she softly inquired, "Mr. Moore, do you have a moment?""Ms. Scott, don't you think it's rather impolite to call me at this hour?" Simon replied with a smirk.On the other end of the line, there was silence. Nevertheless, the call was still connected, the only sound being Laura's cautious breathing. Simon knew she had a favor to ask. Otherwise, Laura would have ended the call long ago and might even have cursed at him. Not wanting to come on too strong from the start, he said, "Ms. Scott, if you have something to say, then go ahead. My time is precious. P

After ending the call with Laura, Simon turned off his phone and flashed a meaningful smile at Maxwell."Hey, she just said you're creative in that aspect? How creative did you get? Mind teaching me your ways?" he asked intentionally."Get lost!" Maxwell shoved Simon aside.He reckoned Laura had a death wish. Nothing she said about Maxwell was true and even went all out to slander him. Simon pretended to be in distress as he said, "What should I do now? On one side, a beautiful woman is asking for help, and on the other is my best friend. It's so hard to choose!"Maxwell showed his disregard for the matter by letting out a disdainful snort. "Go ahead and help them. I'd like to see if they can shake things up!"Simon looked at him with surprise. "Are you saying you want me to take on Jennifer's case and sue you?""Yes, take on her case and bring it on!"After saying that, Maxwell leaned back on the couch and pinched his nose bridge. He already had a plan in mind. He wanted

At that thought, a wave of regret and heartache swept through Maxwell.Coupled with the fact that he had treated Jennifer badly last night, it was no surprise that she was desperate enough to beg Simon just to divorce Maxwell."Starting today, your monthly salary will be tripled. Please take good care of her, and I'll make sure you're fairly compensated," Maxwell suddenly told Martha.She was momentarily stunned. Initially, she was mentally ready to be fired, but to her surprise, Maxwell gave her a raise.With that, he hurried to the bathroom.After freshening up, he drove to the Scott residence.…When Laura's father, Harry, saw Maxwell pulling up to the Scott residence, he thought he was seeing things.The eldest son of the wealthiest family in Haven City and the current president of Lance Group was visiting them. Harry could not believe it.After all, with their social standing, the Scotts would never catch the Lance family's attention.If anything, they should be the

With a melancholic smile, Jennifer answered, "It doesn't matter anymore! Whether it was my birthday or any other day, the person you choose will always be Rachel. "But tell me, Maxwell, what have I done wrong? Why do you keep hurting and humiliating me like this?"Her swollen, red-rimmed eyes were brimming with tears. Nevertheless, she held them back, determined not to let them fall. Maxwell was not one to back down easily, so he quickly came up with an excuse."Grandpa is getting older. I'm afraid that our sudden divorce would be too much for him to handle."The pain in Jennifer's heart intensified after hearing that. It turned out that Maxwell had been dragging the divorce solely because of Robert. How could she have been so foolish and harbored hope that he would eventually come around and see her worth? Jennifer rubbed her eyes vigorously and said stubbornly, "Then tell him that I've cheated on you, that I'm not worthy of being his granddaughter-in-law. That way, Grandpa

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
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1192
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
