You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 170
Instead, the person who came to care for her was Martha.Unfortunately, Martha seemed hesitant to speak, appearing visibly distressed.Bored, Jennifer reached out for her phone. But Martha immediately stopped her."Mrs. Lance, you're still unwell. You shouldn't be looking at these." She nervously grabbed Jennifer's phone and added, "The doctor said you must rest well."It was then that Jennifer became certain that something was amiss with Martha.Putting on a serious expression, Jennifer ordered, "Martha, give me the phone.""M-Mr. Lance said you need to recuperate."Martha became even more flustered. She still dared not return the phone to Jennifer.The next second, Jennifer got out of the bed, nearly pulling out the IV needle. "Be careful, Mrs. Lance."Martha rushed over to help her. "Please don't make things difficult for me. Mr. Lance is only doing it for your own good."Jennifer's mind was in disarray, and she sternly demanded, "Give me the phone! Now!"She wanted to

Maxwell didn't have much of a reaction as he stared down at the idiot who coveted his wife. A dark glint flashed in his eyes and he sneered. "You bought this bracelet from Mrs. Lowe, right? It must have cost at least a million dollars. I doubt Dad and your mom would give you that much. So, tell me, where did you get the money from?""I..." Jordan panicked and made up an excuse, "I borrowed it."Maxwell nodded. "You'd better not be lying. I've already ordered the finance department to freeze the company accounts. I will investigate the accounts soon.""Maxwell..." Jordan's heart dropped and he lowered his tone. "I'll pay it back. Don't make things hard for me, we're brothers after all."Jordan was basically admitting to embezzling company funds.Maxwell wasn't surprised and scoffed at him. "You're something else! Using company funds to buy gifts for women! Do you think Jennifer would accept you if she found out? This gift is stolen goods. Would she dare wear it?""Don't tell Jen

With that, Maxwell rushed away. Rachel went red with anger and pushed Michael away. "Don't touch me!""Are you... sure your leg is okay?" Michael snickered to himself. "I'll help you to the hospital if you actually did hurt yourself."Rachel sensed the sarcasm in his words and flashed him a strained grin. "I know you've always looked down on me. But you'd best believe you'll get fired once I become Maxwell's wife!"Michael couldn't help but worry for Maxwell. Was he planning to torture himself by marrying this woman?...Outside the Yale residence, the maid shut the gate tightly and said to Jennifer, "Please leave, Ms. Jennifer! Don't make this difficult for us.""I want to see my dad!" Jennifer pounded on the gate. "Tell him I won't sue Grandma and am willing to forgive her."She would compromise as long as her dad didn't disown her. She didn't want to be alone. She didn't want to be abandoned!Just then, Jocelyn walked out and flashed Jennifer a triumphant grin. "I've never

"Open the door!" Maxwell ordered domineeringly. Jocelyn realized the position she was in and had no choice but to let the maid open the door. She didn't forget to make an excuse. "I told her to go back, but she wouldn't listen. She was the one who decided to stand in the rain." Jocelyn kept blabbering, but Maxwell silenced her with a glare. He simply held Jennifer tightly and entered the Yale residence.Once inside, Maxwell dropped the umbrella and carried Jennifer to her room. Inside the bedroom, Jennifer was eager to see her father, but Maxwell stopped her. "Be a good girl and take a shower first." His tone was gentle, but his actions were forceful. He dragged her to the bathroom and prepared the bath for her. Jennifer wasn't very cooperative, so Maxwell gave her a stern look. "If you keep this up, I'll personally bathe you." The threat worked and Jennifer whispered, "Go out. I'll wash myself." "Okay, take your time," Maxwell reassured her, "Don't worry. I'm here for y

Jennifer sighed. She didn't have the energy to delve into this or try to salvage the relationship. She said flatly, "Maxwell, let's go. I'm tired.""Wait." Maxwell held her back. "I promised to clear your name. We need to make things clear today. I won't let them frame you!"Jennifer stared at him in surprise.Jocelyn, confident that everything was under control, scoffed sarcastically. "Mr. Lance, you and Jennifer have stirred up enough trouble for our family. Are you planning to escalate the situation?""Shut up!" Maxwell yelled at her and showed a video on his phone to Zion.The video was the surveillance footage of Jocelyn and Jane during the accident, showing the two women fighting. After watching it, Zion turned to Jocelyn. "Tell me why you were there when Jane had the accident! Why were you fighting with her??Jocelyn panicked and hastily explained, "Yes, I... I did see her that day. But doesn't this footage prove my innocence? I didn't push her! I didn't do anything! She

Zion slapped Jocelyn. "Bitch! Look at what you did to our daughter! The evidence is right here, yet you still won't admit it!"Bridget heard the commotion and hurried down to stop Zion.The living room was in chaos with Zion and Jocelyn's constant arguing.Jennifer stared at the two but didn't feel satisfied. She only felt a sense of sadness. Zion didn't trust her until he saw the evidence. As for Jocelyn and Bridget, they were simply reaping what they had sown! Jennifer felt bad that Zion was lied to at his age.Maxwell's cold voice rang out, "Also, you have three days to pay back the compensation from the Lance family. Otherwise, I'll sue you. After all, no one in Haven City dares to mess with us!"The situation escalated. Bridget had already lost her child, and now her money was about to be taken away.She suddenly laughed out loud. If she was going down, she would drag Jennifer down with her!She said to Maxwell, "Do you think Jennifer is devoted to you? Besides seducing

Jennifer's heart tightened and was finding it hard to breathe.Why? She had already prepared herself, and she had brought up divorce many times herself. But it was so painful to hear it from Maxwell instead!"Alright." Jennifer smiled.There was no need for explanations. He simply didn't care!Maxwell didn't want to continue this topic nor wonder why he was feeling the way he was. Why did he feel like his heart was breaking when he brought up the divorce? Shouldn't he feel relieved?He ignored his feelings and opened the car door. "Get in, I'll take you back to the hospital.""No thanks," Jennifer refused bitterly. "Since the decision is set, let's cut all ties. Thank you for your help today. Even though it's the last time, I'm still very grateful."With that, she pushed herself to step away. Her head was spinning. She knew her fever had worsened from being in the rain. But this wouldn't stop her from walking away.She didn't want nor dare to face Maxwell. She feared she would

Before the nurse could administer the IV, Jennifer got out of bed and went out to have a look. Although she guessed Maxwell had probably left, she was a lovesick fool who didn't want to give up hope until she saw the bitter truth with her own eyes. Only then would she find peace.Jennifer walked out of the ward, looking around the corridor. As expected, there was no sign of Maxwell. Jennifer lowered her gaze, her eyelashes shielding the sadness in her eyes.Martha seemed to read her thought and hurriedly comforted her, "Don't overthink it, Mrs. Lance. Mr. Lance cares about you. He wouldn't be this nervous otherwise. Since your hospitalization, he has been working tirelessly. He would even ask about your condition during work.""That's enough, Martha." Jennifer tilted her head to the ceiling, wanting to hold back her tears. If Martha continued, she would feel reluctant to let go again.Just then, Rachel's voice rang. "Ms. Yale, do you think you can delay the divorce if you keep

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

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
