Lorraine's expression turned ugly. She was Maxwell's stepmother, but he had dismissed her like a maid.Jordan remembered he still had a date with a girl and was worried that he wouldn't be able to get away. He pulled his mother and said, "Mom, since Maxwell had spoken, let's wait for him outside."Lorraine was reluctantly dragged outside by Jordan.She whispered, "You useless brat! Maxwell kicked us out! Who knows what lies he'll tell Grandpa about us? Maybe he'll ruin your chances of joining the company. Anything he says could ruin our chance.""Really?" Jordan frowned. "But Grandpa promised us. I don't believe that Grandpa would change his mind so easily. Not to mention, Grandpa had the HR department announce my position."Lorraine relaxed a little at this. Although Robert didn't like them, he wasn't one to mess around with the company. Since Jordan's position was announced, it was highly unlikely that Robert would go back on his words.…Meanwhile, Maxwell stood before Robe

Robert growled angrily, "You've abused my trust and hurt Jennifer while frolicking with that shameless woman. Do you really think you're old enough to escape my grasp?""Grandpa, I don't like being threatened. You don't need to threaten me with Jordan or the company. I'm the one in control of the Lance family now. It won't affect me in the slightest if that useless brat comes in."After hearing Maxwell, Robert began coughing violently from his anger."Grandpa!" Maxwell was startled and hurriedly patted Robert's back. "Where's your medicine? Let me get it for you."Robert pushed him away. "No need! I've finally realized that I've raised an ungrateful child!""What do you want from me, Grandpa?" Maxwell rubbed his temples. "Rachel is just a powerless woman. Why do you hate her so much?"Robert sneered disdainfully. "Her? Powerless? If she were, how did she manage to ruin Jennifer's reputation? Fortunately, Dr. Lowe stepped in to clear Jennifer's name. Listen to me, and cut ties wit

The house was pitch black when Maxwell returned. He turned on the lights and could feel his anger boiling within! He called Michael and asked coldly, "Why is it taking so long for you to investigate something? Do you have any results?"Michael could tell that Maxwell was in a bad mood and quickly replied, "I was just about to report to you. Dr. Lowe has been leading his team in research abroad for the past three years. "Although he is known as a lecturer at Haven University, he hasn't actually taught there. I've also investigated his flight records. He only came back a few times in the past three years, and each time was just to visit family. He probably didn't have the opportunity to develop anything with Mrs. Lance.""What about Jennifer's classmates?" Maxwell pressed on. "Is she close to any of them?"Michael replied, "I've checked the school. Mrs. Lance hasn't been particularly close to any male students, nor has she been involved in any rumors with anyone. Also, Dr. Lowe h

"Of course, it has everything to do with you!" Lorraine's eyes darted around before she said, "Your grandpa favors Maxwell so much because he married Jennifer. After all, Jennifer's mother helped your grandpa undergo that surgery that no one dared to perform. "But Maxwell isn't cherishing her. If Jennifer had married you, your mother-in-law would have been your grandpa's lifesaver. Then, you would be…"Jordan quickly interrupted her, "Mom! What are you talking about? Jennifer is Maxwell's wife. I'm the revered second son of the Lance family. How could I take Maxwell's hand-me-downs? Besides, I'm only 24. I'm not in a rush to get married!"He wasn't ready to settle down yet!Lorraine shook her head. "Why can't you understand? We can use Jennifer to gain favor with your grandpa and obtain Lance Group. Once your grandpa passes away, you can kick her out, and I'll find you a girl from a good family. Then we'll have everything."Jordan recalled how Robert had always treated Jennifer l

Robert remembered there were a few casualties from last year's tornado, so he didn't feel at ease letting Jennifer go to school alone. Therefore, he reminded Jordan, "Remember to ensure Jennifer gets to school safely. And remember to bring her home too, understand?"Jordan immediately nodded. "Leave it to me, Grandpa."Jennifer felt she would come across as ungrateful if she continued to refuse. So, she awkwardly said to Jordan, "Sorry for the trouble."The next morning, after Jordan and Jennifer had breakfast, they headed out. It was indeed storming outside. "Jennifer, it seems like this will be the norm for the entire week," Jordan said while holding an umbrella for her. "I have to pass your school on the way to work, anyway. And Grandpa is worried about you too, so he asked me to take care of you on behalf of my brother." Jennifer didn't take the passenger seat but chose to sit in the back. She deliberately kept some distance from Jordan. "I'm sure this is a huge inconvenie

"Shut the fuck up! Don't embarrass me here!" Jordan was afraid of being overheard, so he tried to pull her away. But Bridget refused to give up and angrily scolded, "Did you find another woman? Who's the bitch that seduced you this time?"The crowd of onlookers grew and were now whispering among themselves. Jordan's dignity was shattered. He pointed at the crowd and yelled, "What are you looking at? Get the hell back to work!"He then turned to Bridget. "If you don't leave now, I'll call security to kick you out!"But Bridget wouldn't give up. She shrieked hysterically, "You promised that you'd invest in my movie! Are you going back on your words?"Jordan narrowed his eyes and sneered. "Have you looked in the mirror recently? If I'd invested in you, wouldn't I just be throwing money away?""You're a big fat liar, Jordan Lance! You seduced me and won't take responsibility!" Bridget accused him loudly, wishing to attract more people to expose Jordan's true colors. But Jordan h
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 46
Maxwell immediately felt a surge of anger and felt insulted. He asked coldly, "When did Jordan leave?'"He only just left." After Michael said this, Maxwell grabbed his coat and disappeared from the office.At Haven University's gates, Jordan's red Ferrari was very eye-catching. He didn't notice that he was being tailed.Bridget stared fixedly at his car, her eyes filled with jealousy and anger. She was determined to find out who stole Jordan's heart this time.It seemed that the bitch was still a college student! How shameless!But she didn't expect to see Jennifer walking up to Jordan's car. Moreover, the latter even personally helped Jennifer with the car door. He was being unusually attentive and considerate.Bridget widened her eyes in disbelief. Were Jordan and Jennifer having an affair?She gritted her teeth in hatred. She had been competing with Jennifer since childhood, but she never expected that Jennifer would also compete with her over a man!But Bridget was smarter

Jordan grabbed the car keys and headed out without giving Jennifer a chance to refuse. On the way to school, Jordan would steal glances at Jennifer from the rearview mirror. "You're all dressed up today, Jennifer. Are you going on a date with Maxwell?""No," Jennifer said awkwardly. "There's an award ceremony at school today. They're commemorating me for saving someone.""Oh... that!" Jordan said sincerely, "When I saw those slanderous comments, I didn't pay them any attention. I've always believed that you were a kind and qualified doctor. It seems my judgment was correct."Jennifer felt melancholic. Even someone like Jordan, who wasn't very close to her, was willing to believe in her. But Maxwell had doubted her and accused her of causing the death of Rachel's grandmother. Bitterness welled up within Jennifer.Just then, Jordan sighed. "I envy you, Jennifer. Despite the misunderstanding, everyone still adores you. Unlike me."Jennifer was taken aback and asked instinctively,

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

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

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
