You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 226
Rachel nodded in acknowledgment. "Alright, I'll sign it."She was about to follow the doctor back into the operating room when Maxwell suddenly grabbed her hand.Rachel was bewildered and asked, "Max, you… What are you doing?""We're not proceeding with this surgery," Maxwell replied solemnly with a darkened expression. Rachel was overwhelmed with joy by his words. "Max, is this true? Don't make it hard for yourself. I'm fine, really. Let's just go ahead with it. As long as you're happy in the future, I'll be at peace."But Maxwell wrestled with his conscience. He knew he could not be that selfish.Though he did not want to lose Jennifer, he could not rob a woman of her chance to become a mother.The surgery was too risky, and Maxwell did not want Rachel to take that chance. And so, he led Rachel out. When they reached the ward entrance, Maxwell spotted Jennifer standing there.Her face was devoid of emotion, but her eyes were filled with disappointment and pain. Jennife

That day's events had already left Jennifer utterly disappointed. And now faced with Maxwell's condemnation, she felt like sharp knives were thrust into her heart. Jennifer forced herself to stay calm before coldly asking him, "So, are you planning to let Rachel give birth to the child?"Maxwell fell silent for a moment. Then, he answered faintly, "Other than this, I have no other choice."Jennifer's heart sank immediately, tears shimmering in her eyes. "Then I wish you both happiness. Can you grant me freedom, please?"Maxwell tightened his grip on the steering wheel. Word by word, he uttered, "I've said it before, I don't agree to a divorce. "After Rachel gives birth to the child, I'll send them both abroad. Our lives will remain the same as they are now. It won't affect us."Jennifer looked at him in disbelief. "Maxwell Lance, are you out of your mind? You want me to accept the fact that you're keeping a mistress and an illegitimate child? No, I can't do that. "I'm not t

Touched by his words, Jennifer gazed at Zion. "Perhaps you were right. I shouldn't have held onto that glimmer of hope and married Maxwell from the start. Just as you foresaw, I wasn't happy.""But staying here indefinitely isn't the solution. You need to address the problem," Zion responded, worry written all over his face. "Yes, I want a divorce."Although Jennifer's tone was soft, she was resolute. "I don't want to share a husband with other women. It feels dirty to me."Instead of dissuading her, Zion looked at Jennifer with admiration. "That's my daughter! Just hearing you say that is enough. I'm ready to face any challenge to help you break free from the Lance family.""Dad, don't worry about me. Maxwell won't harm me. But I'm afraid he'll take it out on you. I know his character and temper well. Please don't confront him head-on," Jennifer advised. Zion's eyes turned red as he let out a long sigh. "Bridget's mother has taken her away, and they've vanished without a t

To keep Hugo in check, Rachel adopted her gentle and seductive demeanor again. She took the initiative to press her curved figure against his body and said, "Hugo, just bear with it for a little longer. I'll make sure our son inherits the Lance family's assets."Rachel flirted with Hugo while allowing him to have his way.It was not until late into the night that the creaking of the large bed finally quieted down. Hugo was a cunning person who kept his personal dealings under wraps. He'd never spent the night with any woman. Once his desires were satisfied, he left with a sense of contentment. On the other hand, Rachel's eyes slowly took on an ominous intensity. She mentally vowed to find a way to break free from Hugo's control. At the very least, she could not allow him to use this child against her.Not long after Hugo left, Rachel tidied herself up and departed from Nimbus Lounge.…Early the next morning, Rachel prepared an exquisite breakfast and headed straight to

Now, Rachel chose not to force Maxwell into getting a divorce. On the contrary, she skillfully handled the situation. Without saying too much, she was ready to leave. Only by doing so could she prevent Maxwell from feeling displeased. Rachel knew that she did not need to urge him to divorce Jennifer. As long as this child and their relationship existed, Jennifer would never be able to accept it. They would not be happy. At that thought, Rachel appeared even more considerate. She wanted to let Maxwell see the difference between herself and Jennifer. "Max, I'm leaving now. Don't overwork yourself, okay?"Rachel cast Maxwell a reluctant glance and left his office.Eager to curry favor with her, the secretary escorted her downstairs. As Rachel was about to get into the car, the secretary asked in a flattering tone, "Ms. Walker, when will we have the pleasure of attending your and Mr. Lance's wedding?""It should be soon." Rachel smiled shyly. With that, she got into the ve

"Hmph, why should we take this to the back? Let's talk here, in front of your students and their parents. You'd better explain clearly your affair with Maxwell!" Zion refused to leave, determined to tear off Rachel's mask.During their dispute, the parents finally discovered something. "Oh my god! I can't believe this, Ms. Walker! I knew it! You're so young and didn't come from a good background. How could you afford to open a dance studio here?"Another parent chimed in, "I never expected someone who speaks of righteousness and morality would be a homewrecker. From today on, our children won't take classes from you anymore, lest they be led astray.""That's right, isn't this deceiving the youth?"Those parents exchanged words, then directly took their children and left.Not only that, some parents even threatened to spread this in their social circles to prevent others from falling victim to Rachel.One by one, the parents and students left, leaving only Rachel and Zion.Rachel

Agnes said from the side, "Your dad said he fell, but it looks like he got into a fight. Otherwise, besides the injury on his arm, why would there be injuries on his face? And at the corners of his mouth too."Zion waved them off. "I told you, I fell. And it'll be fine in a couple of days. Don't worry about it."Jennifer felt both pity and anger. "I don't buy it. I'm a doctor, and your injury is definitely not from a fall. You can't hide it from me.""If you don't believe me, then forget it. It's the truth anyway." With that, Zion lowered his head and stuffed his mouth full of food.Jennifer pulled out her phone furiously. "It's obvious you were beaten up. I'm going to call the police. They will definitely find out who attacked you.""Jennifer!" Zion stopped her and sighed. "I fought back, but there were too many of them, so I couldn't win. I consulted a lawyer. Even if we report it to the police, both parties will be deemed responsible. It's useless!"Jennifer widened her eyes i

That evening, due to Zion's intervention, Jennifer didn't go to confront Maxwell or Rachel.After finishing work the next day, she didn't return home, but instead went back to the house she shared with Maxwell.Martha jumped for joy when she saw Jennifer finally returning. But at the same time, a hint of worry gnawed at her.Jennifer asked, "Where's Maxwell? Is he coming back today?""Well..." Martha hesitated. "Mr. Lance told me to make some soup and bring it to that damn woman at the hospital!"Jennifer's expression hardened. She knew they had reconciled. She had mentally prepared herself to leave him but couldn't help feeling bitter at Martha's words.Thinking about how Rachel had ordered the beating on Zion yesterday, Jennifer's expression turned cold. "Good, I'll go with you!""You'd better not go, Mrs. Lance!" Martha said angrily, "Even I don't want to see that woman's smug face. You'll surely be pissed if you go.""Why is she at the hospital? Did something happen?" Jenni

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

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
