You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 193
Jennifer turned to Maxwell and silently begged him to let Jordan off the hook. But she didn't know that her actions had touched a nerve. How could Maxwell possibly let Jordan stay in Haven City? Maxwell sighed. "Since Jordan embezzled a huge portion of company funds, he should be held responsible for it. But he is also one of ours, so we can't be too cruel. Here's the deal, our company has a project starting in Adonia next month that needs someone in charge. The job will take about two years. We'll have Jordan work there!""What? Adonia?" Lorraine sat on the ground and cried, "No! Adonia is too dangerous! How can Jordan endure such hardship?"Maxwell remained unmoved. "Would you prefer if he goes to jail?"Jordan smiled knowingly. He knew that Maxwell wouldn't want him around after Jennifer's intervention. But he was content. At least Jennifer cared enough to stand up for him.Jordan took a shaky breath. "Mom, stop it. I'll go!"Robert didn't expect the irresponsible Jordan to s

Maxwell reassured Robert, "Don't worry, Grandpa. It's been taken care of."Robert narrowed his eyes suspiciously. "Really? You've been with that woman for years. Have you really cut ties with her?"Yes, I've talked to her about it." Maxwell was certain.Robert relaxed. "I didn't stop you when you dealt with Jordan earlier. I'm only getting older. That was the only way I could eliminate your rival and help you get a footing in the company. So, you'd better work hard and give me a great-grandchild soon."...The ambulance had just arrived when Jennifer had come back downstairs. The medical staff members were lifting Jordan onto a stretcher.Lorraine walked up to her and suddenly started laughing."Have you gone crazy?" Jennifer looked at her inexplicably. How could Lorraine laugh when Jordan was in this miserable state?Lorraine sneered. "I finally figured it out. This whole thing was a trap set by Maxwell! Jennifer, you're just a pawn to him!"Jennifer's heart skipped a beat. "

"You're going too far!" Maxwell's face hardened. "Did Lorraine say something to you? Jennifer, you'd rather believe in her than me.? Do you think I'm using you? That I see you as a pawn?"Jennifer shook her head desperately. "I don't know. All I know is I'll never forgive you if you did!"Maxwell had nowhere to vent his anger. He slammed the steering wheel and yelled through gritted teeth, "Although I am not a saint, I wouldn't stoop so low as to use my wife as a pawn. Yes, I was furious earlier. If it weren't for you protecting him, I wouldn't have added fuel to the fire and put him in a tight spot! If you hate me for that, so be it!"With that, he got out of the car and walked away.Jennifer watched his desolate figure, slapping her forehead with regret. Why did she choose to believe Lorraine over her own husband?She knew what it was like to be wronged and mistrusted, so she understood how much pain Maxwell was in.In the end, Jennifer drove back home by herself, but Maxwell h

Maxwell smiled. "Was it when we got married? Maybe love at first sight?"Jennifer sighed helplessly. "Is there really such a thing as love at first sight? I believe there is a reason people fall for each other. You are indeed very handsome, rich, and powerful. But I like you not because of those things."Maxwell felt both moved and curious by the confession.He hesitantly pressed on. "I treated you badly after our marriage. Was that when you fell for me?""I'm not a masochist!" Jennifer rolled her eyes at him and beat around the bush. "Do you remember how I told you I was bullied in school and a senior saved me? Haven High is where all the rich and influential figures send their children to. And my dad put a lot of effort into sending me there."Jennifer smiled happily at the memory. "Before I met you, I felt like time dragged on there. But you were the reason I continued studying there. I felt that it would be a good day every time I caught a glimpse of you. It's a pity I was in

Early the next morning, Jennifer woke up with a sore and stiff waist. Thinking about her entanglement with Maxwell last night, her cheeks flushed red, and happiness flooded her.Seeing her limping away, Maxwell grinned boyishly. "Why don't you wait a few days before going back to school if you're feeling sore?""No, I haven't been studying. If this continues, I'll definitely fail my postgraduate entrance exam." Jennifer smiled. "Moreover, I promised Quincy we would stay at Haven University!"Maxwell didn't like to tie her down. On the contrary, he wanted to support her in doing anything she liked. So, he nodded. "Good luck. Remember to tell me if you need any help."Jennifer hummed and smiled sweetly. She tiptoed to kiss him and then ran to the bathroom to freshen up.After breakfast, Maxwell personally drove her to school."You should sit in the back." He closed the passenger door and asked her to sit in the back.Jennifer felt annoyed. "Isn't the wife supposed to sit in the pa

However, they still felt like Maxwell was acting strange that day!…Inside Haven University's study room, Jennifer's gloom finally disappeared, and she began focusing on her studies.Quincy chuckled beside her. "You're finally happy again! Studying would be boring if I lost my rival."Jennifer smiled and explained, "Well, I've dealt with the mess. I wouldn't be able to concentrate otherwise."Quincy asked curiously, "Did Mr. Lance help you with it?"Jennifer nodded, a sweet smile tugging at her lips.Quincy teased her. "No wonder you have that huge grin.""Stop teasing me and study!" Embarrassed by her teasing, Jennifer quickly lowered her head to study.Quincy sighed. "I've been struggling to decide on a major lately. Are you planning to apply for internal medicine or surgery? And have you decided which professor to study under?"Jennifer answered truthfully, "I want to study cardiovascular surgery."This was something she had decided long ago. Her mother was a cardiovascu

Maxwell replied: [Alright, wait for me once your class finishes.]After sending the text, Maxwell told Michael to book a good grill house while he went to the flower shop.He realized he never gave Jennifer flowers despite being married for two years."Mr. Lance, are you... leaving work early?" Michael asked.It's only a little past 5:00 pm. Maxwell had never left work early. Plus, many documents due tomorrow still needed his signature, and he hadn't signed them!Maxwell glanced at him. "Do I need your permission to leave work?""No. Of course, not." Michael smiled awkwardly. "You can do as you please."Maxwell immediately drove to the flower shop and chose a bouquet of white roses. It was wrapped in a beautiful fabric and looked very nice.When Jennifer stepped out of the school gate, she saw Maxwell standing in front of his luxury car, holding a large bouquet of roses.Maxwell's handsome appearance, coupled with the luxury car and flowers, attracted envious gazes from the pa

But Jennifer couldn't erase her past nor could she stop it from staining her marriage with Maxwell."I'm sorry," Jennifer whispered with a lowered head.Maxwell stopped the car on the side of the road and leaned over to hug her. "Silly girl. What are you talking about? It's my fault for not protecting you. But life goes on, and we should look toward the future, don't you agree?"Tears welled up in Jennifer's eyes. "I'm afraid you'll find me repulsive."Maxwell smiled and stroked her cheeks. "My dear Jennifer, you're the purest woman in the world."…The days flew by, and it was now the end of the month. The weather gradually cooled down with the arrival of autumn.Maxwell's affection for her grew from there. He would send her to school almost every day.There had been times Jennifer's classmates spotted them and asked her about Maxwell. And Maxwell never claimed to be Jennifer's brother again.Back in the car, Maxwell wrapped a scarf around Jennifer's neck. "It's getting colde

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

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

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
