"Really?" Jennifer's eyes lit up. "You promise?"Maxwell nodded. "Yes, I promise. What do you have in mind? Don't hide it from me and tell me. I'll handle it.""I want her to leave and go abroad immediately. I don't want her in Haven City, and I don't ever want to see her again." Jennifer looped her arm around his and whined. "I don't want to share you with anyone. If she's not in the country, I can lie to myself and pretend nothing happened."Maxwell was never one for threats. In the past, even if Jennifer yelled at him, he might not have agreed to her requests. But now, with the way Jennifer was holding him and staring up at him adoringly, who was he to refuse?"Alright," Maxwell hummed before gently pressing her onto the sofa.Although Jennifer had decided to do anything to achieve her goal, she still harbored resentment toward Maxwell. So, her body subconsciously resisted.To avoid letting Maxwell notice, she stiffened and gently pushed him away. "Martha is still here.""She
Back then, Rachel was still Maxwell's lover, so Michael could only endure the humiliation. But now, he didn't need to tolerate her anymore.Michael huffed. "I consulted your doctor earlier. Your condition is stable now, and you can be discharged at any time. Are you planning to leave tomorrow or the day after? I'll book the flight.""I'm not leaving!" Rachel was stubborn and demanded, "Where's Maxwell? I want to see him!"Michael scoffed. "Mr. Lance is busy with his wife. I'm afraid he doesn't have time to see you."Rachel yelled angrily, "I understand now! You and Jennifer are in cahoots! You're all in this together!""Ms. Walker, if Mr. Lance sees you behaving like this, I'm afraid he will like you even less." Michael reminded her.Rachel angrily threw a cup at him and shouted, "Get out! Scram!"And so, Michael left Rachel's ward.He headed straight to the president's office once he got back to the company. He rushed in with a dejected look.Maxwell glanced at him. "You're g
"You!" Rachel growled. "So, you're doing this on purpose! You just want to chase me away from Maxwell!"Jennifer gave her a cold look. "That's because you hurt my family. I could have let you go and allowed you to be with Maxwell. But you insisted on stepping all over me. So now none of us will have it easy. Even if you give birth to the child, they're still a bastard! I won't let you become Maxwell's wife, understand?"Rachel snorted angrily., "You're despicable! Jennifer, you don't love Maxwell at all. You're just using him to get revenge on me, aren't you?""And what if I was?" Jennifer smiled. "I learned that from you."With that, Jennifer turned and left under Rachel's furious gaze.Rachel wished she could tear Jennifer apart.Why? Jennifer didn't love Maxwell and just wanted to use him. Yet Maxwell still cherished her while she ended up in this sorry predicament despite giving up on everything else.The more Rachel thought about it, the more unhappy she felt. She wouldn't
Jennifer's eyes darkened, and she nodded, agreeing.Quincy fumed. "Damn it! So, how are things going between you and Mr. Lance? I saw you getting out of his car this morning.""It was just for show! I've long... stopped loving him." Jennifer said coldly, pushing her feelings to the back of her mind.Quincy was confused. "What do you mean it's just for show?""Since Rachel is so arrogant, I'll extinguish her flame," Jennifer declared. "I won't let her have the thing she wants most. Or I can't let this slide. My father's beating would have been for nothing."Realization dawned on Quincy. "But you'll be hurting yourself too."One poured out her feelings while the other listened. Neither noticed Rachel spying on them with a dark look.She smirked triumphantly, having recorded most of their conversation with her phone, then stopped....In the evening, Maxwell went to the hospital.Rachel wasn't surprised. She knew he would come. It was simply because Michael didn't manage to send
"Alright, that's enough." Maxwell coldly interrupted her. "I've already bought you a house abroad, and there will be maids taking care of you."Rachel chuckled self-deprecatingly. "They're not there to take care of me but to monitor me. You're afraid that I'll come back and ruin your relationship, right?"Maxwell didn't deny it. "Don't come back unless something important comes up."Rachel didn't expect Maxwell to be so ruthless, not even allowing her to set foot in this country again. Jennifer must be forcing him to do this!Thinking of this, she suddenly laughed. "Maxwell, you'll soon realize you've fallen in love with the wrong person. Jennifer doesn't love you at all. She's just using you to destroy our relationship! She used you!"Maxwell frowned. "Do you even know what you're saying, Rachel? You're probably tired. Get some rest. This version of you isn't nice.""Then shall I show you Jennifer's lies today?" She said sadly. "I went to find her today, wanting to apologize to
Maxwell didn't say a word and stood in front of the bathtub, slowly unbuttoning his shirt. Then, it was his belt. Jennifer smelled a hint of alcohol off him. No wonder he was acting weird. But there wasn't even a towel beside her, and she couldn't cover herself."Maxwell, you're drunk." Jennifer hid in the corner of the bathtub and said nervously, "I'm begging you, please leave."Jennifer even closed her eyes, not daring to look at the seductive scene. She suddenly felt water splashing around in the bathtub. Maxwell had already stepped into the bathtub. Although the bathtub was spacious enough for a few people, it felt cramped with Maxwell's addition. His tall and sturdy body was like a huge curtain looming over her."Wait! Maxwell, you can't..." Jennifer was flustered. How could they do it in the bathtub? But Maxwell didn't hesitate and restrained her hands, roughly capturing her lips with a sense of urgency.His voice was dark and devilish, "Why not? Aren't you my wife? D
Maxwell smirked and mumbled seductively, "Do I need to hold myself back with the woman I love?" Jennifer dared not confront him and stuttered, "But it makes me uncomfortable.""Where do you feel uncomfortable?" Maxwell gave her a look. "You weren't uncomfortable when you were screaming my name last night."Jennifer stared at him in shock. He had never spoken such lewd words before. The more he said, the more ashamed she felt.Maxwell started kissing her again, his hands wandering under her clothes. "Stop, don't do this," Jennifer pleaded. "I'm still sore from last night."But Maxwell latched onto her neck. "This is the only way we can get a child right?" Jennifer paled at this. Was this man insane? He already had a bastard child, yet he still wanted to have one with her.Seeing her nervousness, Maxwell gave her a weird smile. "What's wrong? You don't want one? We've been married for so long. Have you never thought about having a child for me?"Jennifer was at a loss for w
The more Jennifer thought about it, the more she felt like she was digging her own grave. Why did she promise to return to Maxwell and become trapped?…Outside the hospital, Jennifer heard an enthusiastic voice. "Jennifer, what a coincidence, you just arrived too." Khloe was hurrying along, looking at her watch. "Five more minutes, and we'll be late."Jennifer greeted her, "Hello, Ms. Carter."As they entered the lift, Khloe asked, "I saw you alone at the entrance. What happened? Didn't your brother drop you off?"Jennifer knew Khloe's feelings for Maxwell. Since the last time Maxwell came to see her, Khloe's attitude toward her had improved, always mentioning Maxwell and asking about him.Jennifer would usually refrain from sharing information about Maxwell with anyone. But the memories of Maxwell bullying her while having Rachel at the side enraged Jennifer. Since she had to share Maxwell with another woman, she might as well make Maxwell out to be a slut!So, she smiled an
