You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 286
Looking at the darkened sky outside, Bridget found it odd that Jennifer had not returned yet. Could it be that she had run away from home and was not planning to come back? Bridget wished Jennifer would disappear forever. Thus, she asked tentatively, "Mr. Lance, would you like to rest now? You've been working all day. It must be exhausting."Maxwell glanced at the clock. How could he sleep with Jenifer still not back?Ultimately, he gave in to the worry gripping his heart.Maxwell grabbed his coat and hurried out the door. Watching his retreating figure, Bridget clenched her fingers in frustration and muttered, "You and Jennifer will never have a happy ending!"…It was 11:00 pm when Jennifer finally finished all the tasks Khloe had assigned her. She was now free to go home. But alas, the last subway train had left by then. Jennifer was somewhat annoyed. Since the car belonged to Maxwell, she had not driven it in the morning. So now, she could only walk along the roa

Maxwell's eyes turned red, exuding a subtle air of menace. Initially, he did not want to let the two scoundrels off so easily.However, Jennifer grabbed him, her voice soft as she pleaded, "Stop fighting. I want to go home. Let's go home." Only then did Maxwell yield. He delivered a kick to each of the two thugs before wrapping his arm around Jennifer and leading her into his car. Jennifer, still shaken, leaned back against the seat in a daze. Tears welled up in her eyes, yet she held them back. "Are you out of your mind? It's so late. Why didn't you call back home and have the driver pick you up?" Maxwell growled.Despite his anger, Jennifer did not feel upset. Instead, a comforting warmth surged from within.His mention of "home" provided her with a sense of belonging on such a cold night. Maxwell's anger surged as he thought of how those men had harassed Jennifer earlier and what might have happened if he arrived later. "Jennifer Yale! Cat got your tongue? Why are you

Had Maxwell been injured during the fight earlier?Suddenly, a wave of worry washed over Jennifer, and she rushed to catch up with him.Unfortunately, Maxwell's pace was too fast. At that moment, he had already entered the room.Jennifer hesitated at the master bedroom door. After a long while, she finally knocked.However, it was Bridget who opened the door. "Jennifer, it's late. Is the storage room too cold for you to sleep?"Bridget leaned against the door, her wavy hair cascading over her shoulders and exuding an air of seductive charm. A sharp pang shot through Jennifer's heart. Nevertheless, she suppressed her emotions before saying calmly, "Maxwell is hurt. I'm here to check on him. If he's fine, I'll leave." As soon as those words escaped from her lips, Maxwell's frosty voice came from inside. "No need. Ask her to leave!"Jennifer's face immediately turned pale with embarrassment.Bridget's lips curled into a mocking smirk. "Did you hear that? Mr. Lance doesn't wan

Bridget took the opportunity to fuss over Maxwell. "Mr. Lance, I'll feed you since you hurt your hand."That said, she offered him spoonfuls of oatmeal and some pastries. Bridget noticed that while Maxwell was unkind to her in private, he treated her respectfully in front of Jennifer.Since this was the case, why shouldn't she make the most of the opportunity?Bridget was determined to make Jennifer lose all hope and leave the villa for good one day. Jennifer pretended not to see anything as she ate her breakfast in silence.However, Maxwell felt disappointed at that sight. He pushed Bridget's hand away and uttered, "I'm full. I'm heading to the office now."As soon as he rose, Jennifer hurriedly stood up to follow him. It was not until they reached the garage that Maxwell halted in his tracks and said, "Stop following me!""Let me take a look at your wound."Jennifer grew increasingly concerned at the sight of the messy bandage. She stepped forward to grab his left hand

Jennifer crouched in front of Maxwell, carefully tending to his wound.She had never gotten flustered when changing dressings for other patients. Even the most gruesome surgical wounds did not make her nervous. But for some reason, the sight of the injury Maxwell had sustained while fighting for her caused her profound heartache and sadness to the point her hands trembled slightly.It seemed like Maxwell had noticed her unease. So, he could not help but comfort her, "Just treat me like any other patient. Think of this as practice."To prevent Jennifer from feeling nervous or worried, Maxwell gritted his teeth and endured the intense sting of alcohol on his wound.When Jennifer finally finished changing the dressing, a sheen of sweat appeared on her forehead.Maxwell, on the other hand, had been observing her the entire time.He clearly saw the pain, worry, and affection in her eyes. Maxwell remained silent, seemingly deep in thought.Jennifer rose to her feet and threw the u

Khloe scoffed. How dare Jennifer still call Maxwell her cousin?She rebuked, "So, you're using hospital resources for personal matters?"She didn't care if Maxwell was here. And so what if he was? Would Maxwell defend Jennifer in front of everyone and admit that she was his mistress? Any sane man would definitely choose his reputation over his mistress.At the thought of this, Khloe raised her voice and said sternly, "You won't be able to get off easy if I report this to the Academic Affairs Office.""You're quite arrogant, aren't you, doctor?" Maxwell finally piped up, "It's just some rubbing alcohol and pieces of gauze. The equipment I've donated to the hospital could buy millions of those items!"Khloe's expression shifted. She wanted to expose Maxwell and Jennifer's relationship, and embarrass them! That would show them!But Khloe didn't dare offend Maxwell so she forced a smile. "Mr. Lance, this isn't about your donations. It's about Jennifer using the hospital's supplies

Jennifer was afraid he would see through her and quickly pushed him out. "Fine, you should leave now."Before leaving, Maxwell took a few bills from his wallet. "Use this to pay for the medical supplies. I don't want that woman to still hold this over us."With that, Maxwell left the room.Jennifer stared at his retreating figure with mixed emotions. She looked at the money in her hand and knew that Maxwell was looking out for her. For someone as domineering and stubborn as him to compromise to avoid her being wronged showed he cared.Just then, Khloe's sharp and bitter voice sounded, "He's gone. Snap out of it."Jennifer gave her a puzzled look. "Ms. Carter, did I do something to offend you?"Khloe snorted and beat around the bush. "I'm sure you know if you've offended me! Girls these days sure have no shame. Your cousin is handsome, wealthy, and successful. There must be plenty of women flocking to him. You've probably seen quite a few, haven't you?"Jennifer's heart skipped a

Jennifer shrugged. "There's nothing to explain. I just don't want to owe you anymore. I can support myself. Do I need to spell out what you've done? I'm not deaf or blind. You slept with my sister in our room every night, and I could hear everything! And you still want me to explain? Aren't you being too much?"Maxwell looked embarrassed. That was just his way of provoking her and making her jealous. But it seemed it had backfired on him.After a moment of silence, Maxwell sighed. "Will you be good and come back to me if I send Bridget away?""Haha, Maxwell, you never changed." Jennifer laughed. "You always put yourself on a pedestal, and think everything revolves around you. Do you think you can give me a slap with one hand and a rose with the other, and expect me to be grateful? When will you ever put yourself in someone else's shoes and consider their situation?"Maxwell felt disappointed. "Haven't I been considerate enough? I've done so many things for you that I would never

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
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1194
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
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1193
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
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1189
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
