"Who said you could come here and spout nonsense, Jennifer Yale?" Maxwell said darkly. "Why are you announcing your status to everyone now? Are you trying to use public opinion against me?"Jennifer hadn't expected him to think of her that badly.She suddenly realized that he had fired the receptionist not because he was standing up for her, but because he needed to shut everyone up. It was a subtle threat.She felt cold all over.Maxwell was a ruthless man. She would never understand what was going through his mind."I just hope you can let Laura off lightly. I didn't want to announce our relationship either," Jennifer said meekly. "Laura only did it because of me. She's hot-tempered."Maxwell turned suddenly and stalked over to her. "Do you know how badly you hurt Rach?" he roared. "She's a dancer. You dislocated her arm. This is going to be detrimental to her career! You hate Rachel, don't you, Jennifer Yale? You told Laura to beat her up!"Jennifer almost cried in grievance.

However, Michael still preferred Jennifer to be his boss' wife when he compared the two women. After all, Rachel was a hypocrite who only pretended to be kind when Maxwell was around. If Maxwell wasn't there, she showed her true colors and bossed everyone around. At the end of the day, Rachel was merely a mistress whom Maxwell kept on the side. Michael had grown tired of her antics in trying to act as the lady boss! Thus, Michael decided to go along with the flow and help Jennifer out this time. …Jennifer searched through several hospitals in Haven City with well-known orthopedic departments. Finally, she found Rachel at a private orthopedic hospital. Maxwell had chosen the best VIP ward with a beautiful view overlooking a lake for Rachel. The ward was equipped with the best facilities as well. Moreover, he employed six caretakers to stay inside the ward and wait on Rachel hand and foot. Jennifer couldn't help feeling bitter when she saw the scene before her. Clearly, Rache

Rachel gritted her teeth and said, "Then, just wait for Laura to be prosecuted! Even if she gets released eventually, she will still have a criminal record with the police. This record will follow her for the rest of her life, becoming a blemish that will haunt her forever!" Jennifer's heart sank. Laura ended up in this situation because she was trying to help her. At this point in time, did she have any other choice?Finally, Jennifer conceded to Rachel's demands so that she could get Laura out of the police station as soon as possible. "How can I trust you?" Jennifer looked at her suspiciously. "What if you back out and refuse to release Laura after I divorce Maxwell and admit to causing your grandmother's death? I would have to suffer a double whammy!" Rachel snorted and gave Jennifer a sidelong glance. "Jennifer, do you think you still have a choice? I'm giving you an opportunity, not negotiating with you! You better be clear about that!" Jennifer knew that even if danger

Maxwell sensed something off about Jennifer. His heart quivered as he pressed further, "What's wrong with you? Tell me!" Jennifer took a deep breath and held back her tears. "I promise, you won't regret coming back this time." After his call with Jennifer ended, Maxwell stared at the darkened phone screen in confusion. Rachel was right beside him, lying injured on the hospital bed. However, Jennifer's voice on the phone just now was clearly off. Maxwell didn't want to admit that he felt concerned. Nonetheless, his heart was gripped with worry. He wanted to return home and see what was going on. Rachel guessed that the call was from Jennifer. After all, she would want to get the divorce done as soon as possible for the sake of getting Laura out. She was almost certain that Jennifer called Maxwell home to talk about their divorce. Rachel pretended to be understanding and said, "Maxwell, is that your wife? Did she ask you to go home?"When Maxwell remembered the grievances th

"Jennifer?" Maxwell was startled and quickly stood up. He gathered her into his arms and rushed to the bedroom. After he placed her on the bed, Jennifer still hadn't regained consciousness. "Jennifer, stop the act and get up!" Maxwell snapped as he stood beside her. "One moment you're sobbing, the next you're trying to gain my sympathy. Tell me, how many tricks do you have up your sleeve?" Unfortunately, there was no response. Maxwell reached out and touched her forehead. It was scalding hot. Was Jennifer running a fever?Maxwell took out his phone and made a call to his private doctor, Derek Spellman. While waiting for Derek, he went to the bathroom and fetched a basin of cold water. He intended to use a towel to cool her down. Coincidentally, Maxwell caught sight of her damp clothes in a basin beside the sink. These were the clothes Jennifer wore when she came to see him this morning. So, did she walk back in the rain today? "Damn it," Maxwell cursed under his breath

Jennifer quickly ran downstairs, but the divorce agreement that she printed yesterday was not on the coffee table. She searched high and low. Finally, Jennifer found the torn-up divorce agreement in the rubbish bin. There was only her signature there. The space for Maxwell's signature remained blank. At that moment, Jennifer wasn't sure whether she felt relieved or disappointed. She felt relieved because Maxwell was still her husband. On the other hand, she was disappointed because she hadn't fulfilled Rachel's request. Laura was still locked up at the police station. She couldn't be so selfish!…Martha returned to the villa that morning. Jennifer didn't expect her to come back today. After all, she hadn't had the chance to call Martha as many things had happened recently. Martha said with a smile, "Mr. Lance asked me to return and take care of you, Madam. He still cares about you as he said that you can't take care of yourself alone." Jennifer forced a smile, but she di

Due to the angle of the shots, the entire video was captured clearly. Nathan was a rising star in the medical field of cardiac surgery, and he personally provided an explanation about the video. It turned out that the video was taken by his sister who coincidentally passed by the front entrance of Haven University. She witnessed the incident and took a video on her phone. Most of the time, Nathan would be conducting research abroad. He rarely returned to the country, so he wasn't aware of the domestic news. It was during a video call with his sister that she brought up this matter with him while chatting casually. He did not expect that a hero like Jennifer who tried to save a life would be wrongly accused by the victim's family members. Nathan immediately asked his sister for the video and made it public. After that, he personally gave a detailed commentary on Jennifer's rescue efforts. He explained, "There were no issues with the methods and measures taken by Ms. Yale from

"Jennifer, we are sorry for misunderstanding you." "That's right, but it was probably a stroke of luck in disguise that Dr. Lowe noticed you. If you apply for his graduate program in the future, you'll have an advantage over us!" "By the way, did Dr. Lowe mention whether he will accept you as his student for the postgraduate entrance exam next year?" Jennifer was overwhelmed by the barrage of questions and took some time to respond. "I don't interact much with Dr. Lowe in private, so I'm not sure." After some time, Jennifer realized that the usual sharp but familiar voice was absent in the classroom. She looked around and asked, "Where's Quincy? Didn't she come to class today?" Quincy wasn't popular among her classmates. Some of them sneered, "Oh, her! It seems like she offended someone in the laboratory and got kicked out. "She doesn't even have a place to conduct her experiments, so she definitely can't complete her thesis. Quincy hasn't come to class for several days now

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
