You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 381
Jennifer was buzzing around like a busy bee and was surprised when she saw him coming."Why are you here?" Jennifer eyed him suspiciously.Maxwell, upon seeing that she was fine, asked, "The butler said you had a medical dispute. Was everything resolved?"Jennifer shook her head in confusion. "I have no idea what you're talking about. I've been here all afternoon. Everything is fine."Only then did Maxwell breathe a sigh of relief. The butler had said Jennifer was caught in a medical dispute and almost got hit. Maxwell was worried and rushed over, only to find nothing had happened."Jennifer, are you done messing around?" Maxwell roared angrily. "You were the one who wanted the divorce! Yet you're setting up Rachel and telling Grandpa about the truth. I won't forgive you if anything happens to Grandpa because of this!"Jennifer looked at him in bafflement and retorted angrily, "Are you insane? If Grandpa does get upset, it's all your fault! Don't push your luck, Maxwell!"Max

"You still have the nerve to ask?" Maxwell gritted his teeth. "Are you satisfied now? It's just as you wish!"With that, he carried Rachel away, leaving Jennifer with a cruel look.Jennifer stood in a daze as sadness welled up within her.Not long after, the butler came out. Jennifer hurried over and asked, "Ben, what on earth happened? Rachel, she...""Sigh, Mr. Lance Senior couldn't tolerate the child nor the woman." Ben sighed and shook his head. "What a pity."Jennifer's heart sank and she neither felt joy nor anger. Her mind went blank.Rachel's child was gone? No wonder Maxwell gave her that hateful look.Ben led the bodyguards away, leaving Jennifer alone.Just then, she received a call from Quincy. Upon hearing that Jennifer was outside the department, Quincy immediately came out to find her."Jennifer, why are you here? Did you come to see that woman's downfall?" Quincy groaned. "At first, the doctor said I could assist with the surgery and watch her downfall. But

Quincy dragged Jennifer to the consultation room and arranged a blood test with the doctor."Quincy... I..." Jennifer hesitated. "Maybe we shouldn't check. I don't think it's possible. I've been divorced from him for so long!"Quincy was angry yet anxious."Where's your common sense? You're a medical student too. What does being divorced have to do with this? Jennifer, I know you're scared, but being scared won't solve anything! Are you planning to wait until your belly shows and look for a father for the child?"Jennifer's heart was pounding. She took a deep breath and, at Quincy's urging, went to get her blood drawn.While waiting outside, Jennifer was on the verge of tears. She asked helplessly, "Quincy, what if... I really am pregnant? What do I do?""Do what you have to do!" Quincy said furiously, "The mistress's child is gone, so you can tell Maxwell you're pregnant! If he's willing to take responsibility for the mistress, why can't he take responsibility for you? It's high t

Jennifer was pulled back to the obstetrics and gynecology department by Quincy to get a more detailed check-up from Quincy's attending doctor.…Back at the hospital ward, the butler informed Robert, "I'm sorry, I couldn't stop Mr. Maxwell.""Hmph, with his temper, how could you possibly stop him?" Robert snorted. "But since that woman's child has been taken care of, I'm relieved. Are you sure it was thoroughly dealt with?"A strange look flashed in the butler's eyes, and he nodded. "Yes, by the time Mr. Maxwell arrived, the woman had already finished the procedure."Robert nodded thoughtfully. "I will find a way to make Maxwell cut ties with that woman completely."The butler hesitated. "But... Mr. Maxwell had booked an entire plane and personally sent that woman abroad. Won't he resent you?"Robert sighed sadly. "Do you think I was too harsh this time, that I shouldn't have harmed an unborn child?"The butler shook his head. "No, I have worked for you for many years, I know e

Robert's emotional outbursts were due to Jennifer complaining to him. Maxwell hadn't even settled the score with her yet!Robert's tone carried a hint of threat. "Jordan and the others have received the news and are on their way back. I just had the lawyer come and prepare my will. If you don't want the Lance family, your father and brother are eagerly waiting in line."...Meanwhile, Jennifer had been thinking all day since receiving the test results. Yes, she felt powerless to handle the consequences and didn't know what to do about the child. After much deliberation, Jennifer finally made up her mind. Since she couldn't decide, she would tell Maxwell and leave the choice to him.With that in mind, she placed the test results in her bag and headed to Robert's hospital ward. At the same time, Maxwell had just come out of Robert's ward. He was frowning and looked unapproachable.Jennifer stood timidly away, clutching her bag tightly, waiting for him to come to her.Maxwell app

The butler was on Maxwell's side, and everything he said was for Maxwell's good. Maxwell's eyes flickered. He knew the butler was right. He was determined to obtain the Lance family and Lance Group. He couldn't let them fall into the hands of Lorraine and Jordan. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made that deal with Robert back then to marry Jennifer. But things were different now. Back then, he could use Jennifer without guilt. Now, regardless of his feelings for Jennifer, he didn't want to use her to achieve his goals. Even if she had told Robert about them or forced the old man to deal with Rachel, he still didn't want to use her. The butler said, "Mr. Maxwell, Mr. Lance Senior doesn't have much time left. The will might be drawn up in the next few days. You must make a decision soon!"...Meanwhile, Jennifer had already run to the obstetrics and gynecology department to find Quincy.Quincy was stunned to hear her words."An abortion?" Quincy was in disbelief. "Have you thought

Quincy seemed to realize what Jennifer was thinking and said, "You see, it's really painful. Besides, even though you're only a few weeks pregnant, it's still a life. Not to mention, they're your child. Jennifer, please think it over again."Jennifer still couldn't muster the courage to go through with it. Her hand instinctively touched her stomach, sensing the faint life within. The more she thought about it, the more reluctant she became. Eventually, she smiled bitterly. "Thank you, Quincy. I... I'll head home for now."Perhaps the heavens didn't want her to get rid of the child. Otherwise, why would Zion call her at this exact moment, asking her to come home?...At the Yale residence, dinner was already set on the table when Jennifer arrived home. However, both Agnes and Zion looked grave. Especially Zion, who looked so haggard as if he were ill."Dad, what's wrong? Why do you look so pale?" Jennifer asked worriedly. "Is there something wrong? Should I take you to the hospital

Hearing Zion's helpless and desperate confession, Jennifer knew she ultimately couldn't refuse and watch her family fall apart. Although Zion didn't explicitly say it, she understood what she had to do next.She comforted him, "Dad, don't worry. I... I'll go ask him for help." There was no other option. That was a lot of money, she couldn't possibly ask Laura for help, nor could Laura come up with that much money. The only person who could help her was Maxwell. Despite her reluctance, she had no other choice but to push forward. Thinking about the baby in her womb, she still felt guilty toward them. Their father already had another child, and she could never give them a proper family....The next day, Jennifer took a day off and went to visit Robert in the hospital. She initially planned to find Maxwell at Lance Group but figured he might refuse to see her given how much he hated her now. It was better to visit Robert, and she could keep him company at the same time.Maxwell

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

"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
