You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 25
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

"That's enough! Have I said that I won't take responsibility?" Rachel said angrily. "Don't leave the house, and don't say anything online. I will figure something out!" After hanging up the phone, Rachel felt even more frustrated. Despite her reassurances earlier, she couldn't think of any other way. How could she come out unscathed and make Jennifer divorce Maxwell without getting personally involved in this mess?Feeling helpless, she called Jennifer. At that moment, Jennifer had just finished class. When Jennifer received a call from Rachel, she stopped in her tracks instinctively. Rachel's voice was menacing as she spoke, "Jennifer, don't you want to save your friend anymore? You haven't fulfilled any of your promises!" Jennifer replied coldly, "As you can see, many professors have already helped me clarify things online. Your plan to ruin my reputation has failed for now." Rachel pressed her further. "How about the divorce? What's the point of you doing this? Why do you

Could it be that Jennifer was actually having an affair with Nathan? Maxwell's expression darkened even more at the thought. He had been eaten up by guilt since last night because he felt sorry for falsely accusing Jennifer. But what about her? She didn't seem to care at all. Jennifer was probably getting intimate with Nathan instead!…Nathan sent Jennifer home safely, but she didn't dare invite him into the house recklessly as she was afraid Maxwell was at home. Nathan was a man who knew his boundaries. After dropping her off at her destination, he drove away immediately. The first thing Jennifer did when she got home was to ask Martha, "Mrs. Zayne, is he… home yet?" If Maxwell knew that she had been falsely accused, would he regret it? Would he care about her a little more? Would he see through Rachel's true colors? Unfortunately, Martha spoke with hesitation, "Madam, Mr. Lance has not come back yet. Should I give him a call to ask?" "There's no need. He probably doe

"You're back?" Jennifer ran up to Maxwell. Her eyes were shining as if she had a lot to say to him. However, Maxwell's eyes seemed to be frozen over with ice. He exuded an intimidating aura that kept people at arm's length. He gave her a brief glance and walked straight ahead. Jennifer couldn't restrain herself and shouted at his retreating figure, "Maxwell, did you help Rachel find a lawyer?" Maxwell stopped in his tracks and replied coldly, "Yes, so what?" Jennifer rushed forward and stood in front of him. She demanded indignantly, "Why did you do that? Why do you have to be so ruthless toward Laura? I've already agreed to the divorce. Since I've done what both of you wanted, why are you still doing this?" "As I wanted?" Maxwell let out a cold laugh and muttered softly, "Is it really my desire, or is it really yours instead?"Jennifer must have wished to divorce him so that she could find the mysterious man she had hidden away for so long, right? And that man was most like

Maxwell caressed Jennifer's back, the scorching heat seeping through the black silk and onto her body. Yet Jennifer couldn't feel any warmth. There was only a sense of dread creeping over her.Maxwell seemed intent on kissing her until her breath ran out. Jennifer never imagined that Maxwell would kiss her one day, yet it left her in such agony.Maxwell could feel the woman in his arms trembling as she sobbed. Finally, he relented and ended her torment.After releasing Jennifer, he reached out to wipe away her tears. Maxwell's voice sounded hoarse as he spoke, "Do you despise it that much?""I... I don't." Jennifer muttered sadly. "Nobody likes to be forced upon. You can't treat me like this even if you're my husband. I'm not that kind of woman, and I'm not your plaything."Maxwell's expression remained grim as he asked, "When did you meet Nathan? How far has it progressed?"Jennifer stared at him, puzzled. "What does Dr. Lowe have to do with this?""Dr. Lowe? What a nice nickna

Jennifer emerged from the shower, wrapped in only a towel. Her flawless skin glowed brightly under the lights. Maxwell felt that Jennifer was the epitome of seductive innocence. These two conflicting qualities appeared harmonious when used on Jennifer."Come here." Maxwell's throat felt dry. Perhaps he should have done this long ago, then Jennifer wouldn't have sought solace in the arms of other men.Jennifer timidly climbed onto the bed and was swiftly caged beneath Maxwell as soon as she got on. She was nervous but didn't make a move to resist.Just as Maxwell was about to remove her towel, Jennifer suddenly pushed him away. "You must promise to spare Laura."Maxwell was annoyed that Jennifer treated their interactions as transactions. He said in a low voice, "That depends on your performance."Jennifer pleaded, "Maxwell, I have nothing left. You've even trampled on my dignity. All I'm asking is that you spare Laura."Maxwell frowned and pulled her hands away. "What does our

Laura anxiously waited as the police retrieved the surveillance footage. But in the end, all they told her was that the alley she had mentioned was in an area slated for demolition. Hence, no cameras had been installed there. When she suggested they start investigating from the street where her office was located, the officer replied, "Miss, if we follow your suggestion, it would require a massive undertaking."We have other cases to handle as well. Please, go home and wait. If we find anything, we'll notify you immediately, okay?"Laura's urgency stemmed from how terrified she felt. After all, it was the first time she had been followed. Still, she didn't want to make things difficult for anyone. Since the police officers had made their stance clear, she decided not to press further and relented. Before leaving, she couldn't help but plead, "Please, do your best to look into this as soon as possible. Contact me immediately if there's any news."With that, she left the station,

Laura's heart pounded violently in her chest. She immediately pulled out her phone, instinctively thinking of calling Simon. However, she remembered they weren't on speaking terms, so she dialed Jennifer's number instead. A nurse answered the phone. "Hello, Dr. Susan is currently in surgery. Please call back in two hours."Left with no choice, Laura reluctantly called Simon. His deep voice came through almost immediately. "Hello, what is it?"Simon's voice, though pleasant, held an icy undertone. Laura knew he was still angry. But right now, someone was following her. She couldn't afford to care about anything else—not even her pride.She gripped the phone tightly, her voice trembling as she said, "S-Someone's following me. Can you come pick me up?""What?" Simon's response was indifferent. Then, he mockingly added, "Aren't you a martial arts expert? A good fighter, right? What's there to fear from a thief?"After all, Britney hadn't been able to secure her interview with hi

Simon finally looked up from his computer screen and gave Alex a stern look. "Do you not understand what I said, or do you have nothing better to do? Should I assign you more tasks?""No… No need for that! I'll leave now." After being scolded, Alex left the office dejectedly. Britney was still waiting downstairs. Seeing him come out, she rushed up eagerly. "So? How did it go?"Alex scratched his head and forced a smile. "Mr. Moore said… Ms. Scott needs to come in person." Britney sighed, disappointment written all over her face. "I knew it!" Alex was about to console her when she suddenly broke into a bright smile. "Still, coming here today wasn't a total waste. At least I ran into my high school classmate and got your number!"She winked at him playfully and added, "We're both from out of town. So, we've got to look out for each other!"Alex was flustered and nodded. "Of course!""Well, I'll get going then. Let's keep in touch!" Britney shrugged off the rejection. Althou

Britney hesitated but finally gave in. "Fine, I'll give it a try." … With Laura's task weighing heavily on her shoulders, Britney set off for Valor Law Firm solemnly.As expected, it turned out exactly as she had imagined. She was turned away almost immediately.She recalled the last time she had come here with Laura. Back then, Laura had also waited for a long time. Determined to ace the interview, Britney decided to stick around and wait. Surely Simon would meet her, considering how she always supported him and Laura and had even tipped him off before. "Britney!" A voice suddenly called out. Britney turned around and her eyes lit up with surprise. "Alex? What are you doing here?" Britney added, "I had some business here. Wow, you've changed so much since high school! Do you work here? Everyone here looks so formal in their suits.""Yes, I work here." Alex was happy to see a classmate. "Are you here because of some trouble? Do you need a lawyer?"Britney explaine

After leaving Simon's office, Laura headed straight to the studio. The workday had ended when she arrived, and all her colleagues had left. Laura sat at her desk, turned on her computer, and began writing down everything she had seen and heard today. With her fingers furiously typing away, she poured out the full story of Brooks Group's workplace incident. Whether it was out of anger or agitation, the keyboard clattered loudly beneath her hands.In just 20 minutes, she had completed a full article. As she typed the last word, she began to calm down. Looking at the article that was filled with sympathy for Nick's family and criticism of Brooks Group, Laura realized she was betraying her journalistic integrity.She hesitated before deleting the draft. After all, she was a reporter. She shouldn't bring her personal feelings into her work. This article contained too much of her own bias. Such a news piece would be unprofessional. Laura sighed. She checked her phone but ther

Laura had to accept reality. Simon feigned nonchalance. "Wait for me. I have some work to finish, and then I'll take you out for dinner, alright?"Laura sat quietly on the couch nearby, listening to the sound of him typing on his computer. Her heart tightened.Her mind replayed the events of how she and Britney had gone to interview the victim's parents. Their cries echoed in her ears as did Simon's conversation with William. Finally, Laura walked over to him. "The work you're handling... Is it related to Brooks Group?" Simon paused and looked at her. "How do you know about this case?" Laura replied truthfully, "My boss assigned me to interview the victims. I... I just visited the family this afternoon and got back from the countryside not long ago.""I see." Simon didn't think much of it and even teased, "Well, it looks like we might see each other more often now. You could say we're mixing business with pleasure." Laura wasn't in the mood to joke. "Are you going to
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1166
But it seemed like Simon was slowly warming up, though Laura couldn't tell if it was just her imagination. Laura tapped Britney on the back of her head. "What are you daydreaming about?"Britney answered solemnly, "I'm worried about you, Laura! Let's check things out at Valor Law Firm tomorrow, okay? After all, each side has its own version of the story. Maybe Mr. Moore will have a completely different explanation tomorrow." Laura felt a sense of unease. When they reached the city center, she got out of the car. "Go back to the studio on your own. I... I need to take a walk." Britney knew Laura was planning to see Simon to clarify things. So, she didn't press the matter and drove off.Laura headed straight to Valor Law Firm. The receptionist saw her and asked, "Do you have an appointment, Ms. Scott? Mr. Moore is currently in a meeting.""It's fine. I'll just wait for him here." Laura had just sat down when she noticed Alex coming in. Alex walked over eagerly. "Are y

Laura spent the entire morning investigating the Brooks Group's construction site incident and the people involved.In the afternoon, she took Britney and visited the victim's family.The family lived in a remote rural area and looked poor. When they heard Laura was a journalist from a well-known studio, the victim's family members broke into tears. "Please, you must stand up for us!"These were ordinary people with no way of beating influential figures. Having someone to speak for them filled them with gratitude. Laura quickly helped the victim's grieving parents to their feet. The deceased worker, Nick Klaus, was only 20 years old. His parents were in their early 40s, yet their hair had turned completely white, and their wrinkles made them look much older.Laura couldn't help but feel a wave of sadness, while Britney looked like she was about to cry from sympathy.The victim's father cried, "Those bastards at Brooks Group are so heartless! It was their fault for not ensuri

Laura sighed to herself. She just needed to coordinate with Simon to get the news. Why did Joseph make it sound like such a difficult task?She promised, "Don't worry, Mr. Zone. Our News Department has coordinated with Valor Law Firm before, and we've done quite a few exclusive interviews with Mr. Moore. This shouldn't be a problem."Joseph smiled. "You're good at keeping work and personal life separate, but I haven't finished yet. The reason we're focusing on this news piece is because the family of the deceased worker is suing Brooks Group for insufficient safety measures. Plus, the workers at the site are agitated. The company is unwilling to pay compensation and hired a lawyer to minimize the settlement. The family of the deceased refuses to accept the proposed 200 thousand dollars as compensation. Both sides are at a stalemate." "200 thousand dollars?" Laura was stunned. "A human life, and they're offering only that little?" Joseph nodded. "Even you're outraged. That's why
