"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
With this, Rachel had pushed away all responsibility regarding the recent incident. After all, the frame-up against Jennifer had been exposed. If she didn't apologize now, Maxwell would also suspect her involvement in this."I know you're different from the rest of your family. You're your own person." Maxwell gently wiped away her tears. "I believe in you, Rach."Rachel seized the opportunity. "Ms. Yale is so sociable. She managed to get such a famous figure in the medical field to help her. But I guess that's only natural. Surely everyone would adore a beautiful and capable woman like Ms. Yale, right?"A dark look flickered in Maxwell's eyes. Rachel was right. Even if he didn't cherish Jennifer, it didn't mean that other men wouldn't. So what if they did? He was the one holding Jennifer's leash! No one could have her until he let her go.Just when Rachel thought she had succeeded in causing a riff between the couple, Maxwell suddenly said, "You should forgive Laura for hittin
Maxwell avoided Rachel's expectant gaze and murmured, "Jennifer was also beaten.""I... I understand." Even if Rachel was unwilling, Maxwell had already made himself clear. If she didn't forgive Jennifer and Laura, he would eventually suspect her.Since everyone was siding with Jennifer now, it was better for her to go with the flow. At the same time, she was also earning a favor from Maxwell.Therefore, she pretended to be understanding. "Maxwell, I'll tell the lawyer to retract the verdict. Ms. Yale has indeed been through a lot more compared to me. Let's invite her for dinner someday. I wish to apologize to her."She deliberately worded it as though she were Maxwell's wife instead.…The next morning, Jennifer received a call from Laura's father, saying that the lawsuit had been retracted. However, Laura's father was away on a business trip and couldn't pick up his daughter."Don't worry, I'll go pick up Laurie," Jennifer promised.Jennifer quickly got up from bed with exc
