You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 369
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

Seeing Jennifer's shock, Nathan explained, "I'm not in the best condition today, and I'm afraid there might be issues during surgery."He studied Jennifer's dark circles. "You didn't rest well either, did you?"Jennifer didn't know how to respond. Last night was the most peaceful night during her shifts, yet she couldn't sleep. As a result, she had dark circles under her eyes and looked exhausted.Nathan seemed to conclude something and told her, "After we finish rounds, you should go back and rest. However, I hope you can distinguish between your work and your personal life. Don't bring your personal issues to work, understood?"This was not only for Jennifer but also a reminder to himself. Changing surgery schedules at the last minute was something he had never done before. Nathan used to be very disciplined. He disliked this version of himself.Jennifer nodded guiltily. "Thank you for the reminder, Dr. Lowe. I affected your rest last night. I won't let it happen again."With

This was like getting a VIP pass!Jennifer got a second wind from the motivation. Instead of resting after her night shift, she took her books and revision materials to the study.She finally realized that her life didn't revolve around Maxwell. She had dreams and a career now. Also, she found peace between the pages of books.With this, Jennifer immersed herself in her studies for the next few days, forcing any sad thoughts out of her head.She didn't see Maxwell during this time, and Robert said he went on a business trip.Jennifer wondered if Maxwell was really on a business trip or if he was purposefully avoiding her.…Rachel was on cloud nine for the past few days.Maxwell stayed with her every day, and her prenatal checkups went smoothly. The only thing keeping her on edge was Jennifer. Rachel remembered Jennifer was still hanging around Robert. And with her still in the picture, Rachel could never win Maxwell's heart.So, Rachel told the caretaker to take her on a st

"Mr. Lance Senior has been hospitalized for a week, and Jennifer and Maxwell have been caring for him." Rachel got a hold of Lorraine's weakness. "Do you know what this means? Maxwell might take Mr. Lance Senior's inheritance for himself without your knowledge, and you and your son will be left with nothing!"Lorraine's heart dropped. Rachel's words were her worst nightmare. Her arrogance was replaced by hesitation. "Did… Maxwell tell you this?""So what if he did?" Rachel sneered. "You can't even protect your son. Do you want to go against Maxwell yourself? With his temper, I doubt he will give you anything even if you did."Lorraine grew anxious and yelled, "Why did you find me? Are you going to offer your help? Well, what's your condition?"Rachel smirked. "I like you. You're a smart woman. It's simple. Maxwell forbade me from telling Mr. Lance Senior about the child to avoid riling the old man. But I'm sure you know Mr. Lance Senior would want to have a great-grandson on his de

However, Zachary and Lorraine feigned innocence and hid their intentions.Lorraine also asked worriedly, "Zachary's right, Dad. What happened? Are you ill? Why were you hospitalized?"Robert couldn't tell if the couple was here out of concern or to gather information about his will. So, he mumbled calmly, "It's no big deal. I'm getting older and was hospitalized to get some needed rest.""I see. That's great news." Lorraine secretly cursed Robert for being sly. But she still said, "Your health is our greatest wealth!"Robert eyed them suspiciously. "Who told you I was here? I didn't tell you because I didn't want to worry you."Lorraine knew Robert would be suspicious of them and quickly lied, "We went to Lance Manor earlier and the maid told us you fainted a few days ago. Zachary was shocked and quickly ordered his men to find out which hospital you were in. How could we be at ease until we see you are well?"Robert nodded doubtfully. "I'm fine."Lorraine and Zachary exchanged

Lorraine pressed on, using Robert's own words against him.Robert glared at her and wanted nothing more than to chase the killjoy out. But he had to hold it in for now or they would cause a scene at Lance Group if he got in a fight with them.Robert only wanted to keep the two at bay and get rid of any possible obstacles in Maxwell's way, completely handing the company to him. But Robert couldn't help but frown at Lorraine's words. Was Maxwell not on a business trip and instead was accompanying Rachel to her prenatal checkups?Robert was enraged but didn't want his son and daughter-in-law to realize. So, he nodded calmly. "I see. You should go. I'll ask Maxwell when he comes over later. Just leave. The butler will take care of me."But Lorraine didn't want to leave. She feared Robert and Maxwell would think up another scheme and take Lance Group for themselves in her absence.Robert was annoyed and said coldly, "Why are you still standing there?"Zachary and Lorraine had no cho

"Stop right there!" Robert yelled at Maxwell angrily. "Don't try to play dumb with me! Tell me exactly what happened! Did you and Jennifer get a divorce?"Maxwell had been thinking about how to explain things to Robert on his way over. Even now, he couldn't come up with a reasonable answer that would not make the old man furious.He had no choice but to admit, "Yes, we got divorced.""Bastard!" Robert, in a fit of rage, grabbed a glass from nearby and hurled it at him. It hit Maxwell squarely on the forehead. He didn't dodge and let out a muffled grunt of pain. Blood quickly started flowing down his forehead.Robert pointed a trembling finger at him. "Why? Tell me, why would you divorce such a nice girl like Jennifer? Is it because you got that Walker lady pregnant and can't handle the situation? Do you want to bring her into our family?"Faced with Robert's barrage of questions, Maxwell calmly replied, "The divorce wasn't entirely because of Rachel. Grandpa, you always tried to

At the same time, Jennifer was in the operating room with Nathan. But she was worried about Robert and asked Nathan for a day off before rushing back."Grandpa," Jennifer called out anxiously as she burst into the hospital room.Then, she froze. Robert was sitting on the bed, looking utterly exhausted, while Maxwell stood not far away with dried blood on his forehead. Despite Robert telling him to leave, Maxwell stayed and kept an eye on the old man's condition out of concern.Jennifer was shocked to see the wound on Maxwell's forehead. She turned to Robert worriedly. "Grandpa, what happened?""Jennifer, you don't have to hide anymore. I know everything," Robert said sadly. "All this time, you and Maxwell put on this act to make me happy. It must have been so hard for you!"Jennifer's heart sank. She glanced at Maxwell, seemingly blaming him for not discussing it with her before telling Robert the truth. The atmosphere grew tense. Jennifer felt a lump in her throat, but she didn

You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1168
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

"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
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1162
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
