You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 362
"Rachel, let's not dwell on the past," Maxwell interrupted her coldly. "We're not who we used to be. People changed. We should look to the future."Rachel feigned ignorance and smiled sweetly. "But you're part of my future. Me and the baby are relying on you."Maxwell felt uncomfortable.Rachel persisted, "Will this year's birthday be the same as before? No matter how busy you are, you must set aside time for me on that day."Maxwell couldn't hide it, so he decided to tell her the truth. "This year, I've promised Grandpa to spend his birthday with him."Something flickered in Rachel's eyes and she pitifully asked, "Is it just Grandpa? Isn't it sad to just celebrate with just the two of you?"Maxwell paused. "Jennifer will be there too."Rachel's heart sank, and her hands clenched involuntarily. She knew it! That woman was back by Maxwell's side. Jennifer was like a nightmare. Rachel would never find happiness with her around.Rachel seethed with jealousy but couldn't show it

Despite Rachel's calm demeanor, the coldness in her gaze was chilling. "Ms. Yale, have you returned to Maxwell's side?"Jennifer paused. "Yes, Grandpa is ill. We have to act like a loving couple to keep up the pretense for his sake. Didn't Maxwell tell you this?""Of course he did," Rachel sighed, pretending to be distressed. "He's been troubled by this lately too. He doesn't love you but still has to pretend to be married to you. You must be enjoying this, right, Ms. Yale? This is your last chance to feel like his wife while Grandpa is still alive."Rachel's words painted Jennifer as pitiful and insignificant. Jennifer felt Rachel was humiliating her pride.Jennifer retorted, "Not everyone is as ignorant and superficial as you. Besides, my relationship with Maxwell is none of your business. We're divorced. Are you telling me you still couldn't get him to marry you?"Rachel paled. She hadn't expected Jennifer to mock her.She sneered and narrowed her eyes, "Ms. Yale, I used to th

Just then, Nathan hurried into the office. "Jennifer, I was originally scheduled to be on duty the day after tomorrow, but something came up, so my shift has been moved to tomorrow. Are you free that day? But I can handle the shift alone if you're busy."Jennifer had planned to clear her schedule for the next day to celebrate Maxwell's birthday. But now, she nodded calmly. "I'm free tomorrow.""Great, then it's settled." Nathan was overjoyed at the thought of supervising Jennifer's shift. He sneered to himself. Why was he feeling this way when it wasn't his first time mentoring a student? Perhaps Jennifer truly was different for him.That evening, Jennifer informed Maxwell and Robert that she would be on duty the next day. They were disappointed by the news, especially Maxwell.He asked, "Can't you take a day off or swap shifts? Do you have to be on duty tomorrow?""I couldn't find anyone to switch shifts with," Jennifer lied. "Besides, I'm just an intern. I don't have the autho

Jennifer didn't answer. Maxwell ignored the bad feeling growing in his heart and reassured her, "It's okay. You don't have to skip duty for me. We have a long future ahead of us with many more opportunities. Jennifer, I won't clip your wings and stop you from pursuing your career."Jennifer's eyes stung with tears. Although she said nothing, she was trying her best not to relent. If she did, she knew she would be with him, even if it meant being labeled a mistress or losing herself for him.The next morning, Maxwell and Jennifer got up and went to work as usual, seemingly no different from any other day. Yet, Jennifer still felt guilty and was starting to regret it. She shouldn't have let Rachel's words get to her and decided out of spite not to prepare any gift for him."Happy birthday," she said awkwardly before heading to work. "I'm sorry I didn't prepare a gift for you this year."Maxwell kissed her cheek. "You are the best gift I could ask for."Jennifer felt a twinge of sa

Jennifer was frustrated as the floor was soaked, and even her shoes were wet. When Nathan arrived, he saw Jennifer mopping the floor."What's going on?" he asked, walking over and looking at the room covered in water. "Why is there so much water?"Jennifer sighed. "The pipe is either broken or the drain is clogged.""Then why are you mopping the floor? You'll catch a cold if you sleep in this damp place during the winter." He pointed to another room. "My place is bigger and has four beds. If you don't mind, you can stay there tonight. The repairman should come and fix the pipe tomorrow."Jennifer was shocked and quickly declined, "No... There's no need for that. I'm fine here, Dr. Lowe. I won't get sick so easily!"Nathan smiled softly at her and suddenly chuckled. "Why are you looking at me like that? Am I that scary? Or are you afraid I will take advantage of you?"Jennifer was taken aback and quickly shook her head.Nathan's smile deepened. "Don't worry, I'm not that kind o

Jennifer was shocked. "I... I'm not in the room. Wait a moment, I'll come out right away." She was afraid of being discovered alone with Nathan. That would be hard to explain.Jennifer got out of bed and quietly walked out. She saw Maxwell holding a small box. When he saw her, a gentle smile appeared on his lips. "Are you busy tonight? If not, let's have some cake as a midnight snack."Jennifer was surprised that he'd brought her a slice of cake, especially on his birthday. She couldn't believe she hadn't prepared a gift for him. Initially, she thought it didn't matter, considering Maxwell was the one who broke their relationship. But faced with his sincerity and thoughtfulness, she felt a deep sense of guilt.Just then, Nathan opened the door and stood at the entrance. "Jennifer, did something happen?" Nathan thought Jennifer had gone out to attend to a patient. His voice immediately caught Maxwell's attention.Seeing Nathan, Maxwell froze, and anger began to stir within h

That damned Jennifer! How dare she waver between him and Nathan? No wonder she had been so distant and inconsistent with him lately. It turned out she had been indecisive and fickle all along! Maxwell sneered to himself, feeling utterly pathetic. He never received a blessing or present from his parents on his birthday. This year, Jennifer had given him a big surprise!As Maxwell wallowed in his sadness, a gentle voice suddenly sounded, "Maxwell... is that you?" Maxwell was surprised and immediately walked over. "Why are you here? It's late and cold. Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?" Rachel smiled, signaling the caregiver to step aside and let Maxwell take the wheelchair. Maxwell took over the wheelchair and frowned. "Didn't I tell you not to come here?" Rachel bit her lips pitifully. "I haven't given you your gift yet. I just wanted to give it to you on your birthday. Don't worry, I won't let Grandpa see me. I'll... I'll leave now." With that, she pushed a pair of del

Rachel was overjoyed but pretended to be concerned. "Ms. Yale seems to have misunderstood."Maxwell huffed coldly. "Let her. What does it have to do with me?""You're… You're right. You two are through," Rachel reminded him.Maxwell tightened his grip on the steering wheel and stepped on the gaze. After he sent Rachel home, he even took off his coat and went straight to the bathroom to run a bath.Rachel was surprised and delighted by the turn of events. "Maxwell, are you staying with me and the baby tonight?"Maxwell hummed. "You have a prenatal checkup tomorrow. I can accompany you."Rachel was moved. "You remembered my checkup date?"Maxwell apologized, "I'm sorry, I've neglected you and made you sad. But I won't forget the responsibilities I should bear."Whether or not he married Rachel, the child was his responsibility.Rachel was beginning to be grateful that the car accident she orchestrated did not harm the baby in her womb. Otherwise, she would have no ties to Maxwel

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

"Simon Moore!" Laura had enough and huffed. "I never thought you were so frivolous! I know I can't stop you, nor do I have the right to. But can you leave me out of it? I don't want to watch you guys mess around!" Simon's voice was low and husky. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have taken you. I thought since Joseph is your superior, it might be good to introduce you two so he would go easier on you at work. I didn't expect to upset you." Laura shot him a gloomy look. "Do you wish I was more like those two hostesses? What did you guys even do after I left?" Simon couldn't help but laugh. Her jealousy pleased him.His tone softened. "I could go to any club if I wanted women like that. Why would I need you?"Laura snorted. "Who knows what you and Joseph used to do together? Only a fool would believe you!"Simon knew that she was just upset. He ruffled her hair and explained, "Joseph wasn't always like this. He was hurt by a woman, and... He became cynical and stubborn after. He's bee

Laura's expression turned unpleasant after hearing the rules. She quickly turned to Simon.Did this mean they always played games like these when Joseph visited? The thought of Simon being with hostesses in her absence disgusted Laura. Joseph chimed in, "Come on, Simon! Let's play a few rounds, then we'll eat! I rarely get to visit Haven City, so you have to party with me until I'm satisfied!" The two hostesses by his side set a pair of dice on the table. They smiled flirtatiously. "Let's just play the dice game. If Mr. Zone loses, we'll take something off. If Mr. Moore loses, then…" Simon cut them off. "Laura doesn't play these kinds of games, and she won't." One of the hostesses rolled her eyes. "Isn't this the most basic game in any club?" Simon's expression darkened. Noticing his mood, Joseph quickly shot the hostess a look, signaling her to stop talking. Then, he tried to lighten the awkward atmosphere with a laugh. "Simon, are you keeping things solid at hom

Laura stared at the screen, puzzled.Simon sent another message: "I'll pick you up tonight to meet a friend."Laura was surprised. Why did Simon want to take her to meet a friend? Was she someone he could openly bring out in public? Laura consoled herself. What was she worried about if Simon was the one who invited her?So, she agreed.After work, Simon came to pick her up. Laura thought they were going for dinner or something casual. To her surprise, they went to Nimbus Lounge."This is the place?" Laura frowned. She had her biases against clubs. "Who is this friend of yours? Why meet at a place like this?" Simon parked the car "He enjoys places like these. This is his go-to spot whenever he comes to Haven City." Laura's expression shifted to one of seriousness. "So, did you invite me here just to have some fun too, Mr. Moore?" Simon caught on and sighed helplessly. "Laurie, you're too sensitive." Wouldn't staying home be far more convenient if he wanted to play
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1160
When Laura entered the conference room, she felt every gaze land on her, making her face burn with embarrassment. She wished the ground would swallow her whole.She apologized, "Sorry, there was a bit of traffic this morning, so... I'm late." Everyone waited eagerly to see her make a fool of herself. After all, Joseph was notoriously short-tempered and sharp-tongued. Even when no mistakes were made, Joseph could pick faults where none existed. Now, Laura was toying with danger, and most people assumed he would fire her on the spot. Laura stood there with her head down, like a student late for class, afraid to move until Joseph gave permission. Finally, Joseph spoke, "Come in. You can present the News Department's performance for the last quarter after the Entertainment Department." His tone was calm, almost gentle. Laura wondered if her ears were playing tricks on her. The others were equally stunned, casting shocked glances at Joseph. This was completely unlike h

After a night of passion, Laura felt soreness all over her body, and her legs seemed like they didn't belong to her.Even breakfast was prepared by Simon. In the morning light, Simon stood in the kitchen in a white shirt. His black trousers made his legs appear even longer. Laura let her gaze linger on him. She tilted her head, staring at him with infatuation. No matter how long she looked, he was simply breathtaking. Noticing her staring, Simon glanced at her while flipping eggs. "Why are you staring at me like a hungry wolf so early in the morning?" Laura quickly withdrew her gaze. "I wasn't looking at you. I was staring at the food." Simon finished frying the egg and slipped it into a piece of toast. Laura beamed at the breakfast. "Mr. Moore, your cooking is a million times better than mine. Why don't you make breakfast every day from now on?" Simon flicked her forehead. "You're getting greedy now." Just then, Laura's phone rang. She answered the call while
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1158
Simon sat across from Laura, eating elegantly. It was a stark contrast to Laura's casual demeanor. Laura couldn't understand how such a perfect man could exist. It turned out there were men who were good at work and house chores.Her heart tightened when she thought about how all these wonderful qualities might one day belong to another woman. "Do you want more?" Simon asked. "I can share some of mine." Laura finished the soup in her bowl and shyly shook her head. "No, I'm fine. I… I already ate so much. I'll gain two more pounds tomorrow." Simon chuckled. "What's wrong with gaining weight? You're all bones. It'd feel much better if you had some meat on you."Laura shot him a playful glare. Why was he so proper during the day but flirty at night? She changed the subject. "When did you learn to cook? I remember Jennifer said Maxwell learned to cook because he couldn't get used to the food while studying abroad. What about you?"Simon froze, caught in a memory. He sa
