"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
"You've misunderstood, Mr. Lance. Jennifer is doing well in both her work and studies," Khloe replied.Maxwell frowned at the message and pressed for more answers. If Khloe wasn't texting about Jennifer, why else would she be texting him?After a while, Khloe sent another message: "Mr. Lance, I have admired you ever since I saw you. Of course, your sister, Jennifer, also supports us being together. She was the one who gave me your Instagram."Maxwell stared at the message in disbelief before anger surged within him. How could Jennifer introduce him to another woman? Was she crazy?Maxwell blocked Khloe and tossed his phone aside.On the other end, Khloe was stunned. She couldn't send any more messages, meaning Maxwell had blocked her.She hurriedly went to find Jennifer. "Jennifer, what's going on? Your brother seems to have blocked me. Did I say something wrong?"She showed Jennifer the messages she had sent.Jennifer was almost scared out of her wits. Maxwell would definite
"You're saying she's just... angry?" Maxwell's eyes lit up and he smirked. "So, she's feeling jealous?""More or less!" Simon snickered. "You've been with Rachel for so long, you should have a good grasp of how a woman thinks. How come you can't see through Jennifer's tricks?"Maxwell glanced at him but didn't say anything.After all, when he was with Rachel, she always followed and obeyed him. He never had to put much effort into appeasing her unlike Jennifer, who often caused trouble for him.Maxwell looked at Simon and smiled. "You seem so carefree all the time. Who knew you understood women this well."Then, he stood up. "I'm going back.""Leaving already?" Simon felt speechless. "You've only had a few drinks, and now you want to leave? Don't forget, it was you who dragged me here so late at night."Maxwell patted his shoulder. "I have to go home and cheer up my wife! I advise you to find a woman too. How could you find joy in working endlessly all the time?""I'm happy wit
Jennifer nestled nervously in his arms and tightly gripped his shirt. "I'm a little tired and… sleepy. Can you...""Alright." Maxwell kissed the tip of her nose. "I won't touch you."Jennifer studied him. Maxwell's mood was truly unpredictable. He was so ruthless yesterday. But now, he was being so gentle and nice to her.Jennifer's heart fluttered and her gaze softened unconsciously.But a voice suddenly reminded her to keep her guard up unless she wanted to become a stepmother.Maxwell placed her on the bed and let her sleep before he went to the bathroom to freshen up.Jennifer found it difficult to fall asleep, feeling inexplicably agitated.Clearly, he was the one who had wronged her by making Rachel pregnant. But why was she still blaming herself?She regretted giving Maxwell's Instagram to Khloe and using Maxwell's love to retaliate against Rachel.Now, she had no other choice but to appease him. He probably wouldn't let her off easily if he found out about her scheme
Rachel's heart tightened. Why did Maxwell still treat her so coldly knowing that Jennifer was using him?"As… As long as we are innocent, why should we be afraid of some rumors?" Rachel feigned innocence. "I'm not afraid of what others say about me. I've always loved you."Maxwell turned around and studied her. "You seem fine now. When do you plan to leave? I'll have Michael book your plane ticket."Rachel's jaw dropped. "You're still going to send me abroad? Maxwell, you know she doesn't love you. The only one who truly loves you is me. Why do you want to hurt someone who loves you?""I know how Jennifer feels best," Maxwell said. "You don't need to keep reminding me! I know what I'm doing."Tears streamed down Rachel's face. "Maxwell, you are the cruelest and most heartless man I've ever met!"With that, she turned and ran out of the office, crying.Maxwell rubbed his temple and sighed in relief.He would rather Rachel hate him than continue to waste time on him.After Rache
