You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 436
Jennifer stared at Nathan in shock. "How did you know I was here, Dr. Lowe?"Nathan frowned at her injured wrist. "My colleague told me there was a girl who slit her wrist, and she looked like one of my students. I never thought it was you. Explain yourself, Jennifer."Nathan had always been lenient with her, but this was the first time he questioned her with such a stern voice. Jennifer lowered her head and whispered, "I'm sorry, Dr. Lowe. I had no choice, but I can't explain why."Nathan's frown deepened, and he grew angry. Jennifer had always kept her distance, never wanting to involve him in her life. He couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration. Looking at her bandaged wrist, he asked, "Is your husband incapable of protecting you?"Jennifer stared at Nathan in surprise. Nathan was shocked at himself too. How could he make such an unprofessional remark? Why was he sowing discord between a married couple?Without waiting for her response, Nathan quickly corrected himself.

"Here's your bread." Maxwell put the bread on the table and fed it to her patiently. "Remember to chew."Jennifer felt like the happiest woman alive. "Was it a long wait? Your ears are red from the cold."Maxwell chuckled. "I see you still have a heart. But I can wait as long as it takes if it means making you happy."Jennifer took a bite. It was just as delicious as she remembered. After a while, she bit her lip, looking like she had something to say. She mumbled, "Dr. Lowe was here earlier."Maxwell was surprised. He hadn't expected her to bring it up. Jennifer took out the ointment Nathan had given her and explained, "He came because he heard from the doctor that I was hurt. He brought me this scar removal ointment."Maxwell's anger faded because of her honesty. He glanced at the ointment. "I'll get you something better, okay?"Jennifer laughed. "This ointment is good enough. It's probably imported. But you really are petty."Maxwell feigned anger. "Say that again! Are you tr

Maxwell was followed by Lance Corporation's executives, shareholders, and some bodyguards. It was a formidable group of people.The door to the president's office was kicked open by a bodyguard, catching Jordan completely off guard. He never expected Maxwell to barge in so boldly, and he lost his cool."Maxwell, what... What do you think you're doing? Where do you think you are?" Jordan stammered. "Don't forget, you had been dismissed during the shareholders' meeting. Now, I'm the president of Lance Corporation, and Dad is the chairman. If you don't wish to be thrown out, you'd best leave now!"Maxwell stood before him, unmoving. A murderous glint flickered in his eyes.Jordan panicked and shouted, "Quick! Call security! Get security up here!"Before he could finish, Maxwell signaled to his bodyguards. Jordan suddenly cried out in pain as the bodyguards dislocated his arms.Jordan bared his teeth at Maxwell. "How dare you do this to me? Just you wait, Maxwell! Security will be he

"Mr. Lance, please come back and fix Lance Corporation! The three of you are from the same family, so why are your capabilities worlds apart?" The shareholders, who had dismissed Maxwell earlier, now realized how unreliable Zachary and Jordan were. They didn't have strategic minds and only knew how to paint rosy pictures.But this was their own decision. After they dismissed Maxwell, they started regretting their actions. Now that Maxwell had finally returned, the shareholders and executives took the opportunity to expose Zachary and Jordan's actions, hoping to bring Maxwell back.Zachary was furious to hear this and turned red with anger. He cursed them. "You traitors! You supported me when it was profitable, and now that you've had no use for me, you want to turn against me! Don't forget, this company belongs to the Lance family!"One of the shareholders sneered. "What have we used you for? Rather than that, it's more like you deceived and abused our trust! While this company be

Lorraine's heart sank, and she asked, "What do you mean by that? We lost the company too?"Zachary gritted his teeth. "Those silver foxes saw Maxwell return and clung to him like he was their savior! They've all betrayed me. No one supports me anymore. They're… going to dismiss me soon.""What?" Lorraine's eyes widened in disbelief. "How is that possible? How can a done deal just vanish?"Zachary laughed bitterly, "Now I understand why Maxwell hasn't been coming to the company or handling any affairs. He was waiting for Jordan and me to mess up. The more we failed at what he could easily accomplish, the more the shareholders would trust him. He had never lost control over Lance Corporation!"Lorraine felt a chill run down her spine. She thought they would gain control of Lance Corporation after Robert died, and everything else would fall into place. But in just one day, everything changed. Fate had burst her bubble and forced her back into reality.Lorraine shook her head, "Imposs

Maxwell's decisiveness once again earned the respect of the employees and shareholders. No one dared to complain. Many were relieved that Maxwell had returned. Otherwise, who knew what mess Zachary and Jordan would have made of Lance Corporation?After the meeting, Maxwell returned to his office and was surprised to see Jennifer and Martha there.Maxwell frowned. "Martha, I told you to take care of Jennifer at the hospital. Why did you bring her here?"It was freezing outside, and he didn't want Jennifer to catch a cold.Jennifer quickly interjected, "Don't blame Martha. I insisted on coming. I heard you returned to Lance Corporation, and I was worried about you."Maxwell waved Martha away and walked over to Jennifer. He suddenly wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her into his embrace. He smirked and asked in a husky, playful tone, "Now that you've seen me, are you relieved?"Jennifer looked at his confident demeanor, feeling like the Maxwell from before was an imposter.

"Won't you stay with me?" Maxwell led Jennifer to the couch and whispered into her ears seductively, "I feel at ease when I can see you."Jennifer blushed. Maxwell always found her shyness adorable.He said considerately, "You can sit here and use the tablet or read some magazines. I'll have the secretary bring you some afternoon tea. Once I'm done, I'll take you to watch a movie, okay?"Jennifer nodded. She had no objections to whatever he proposed. As long as she could see him safe and unharmed, she was content.When the secretary came in to deliver the fruit platter and snacks, Jennifer noted that he was a man. She remembered that Maxwell used to have a bunch of female secretaries.After the secretary left, Jennifer asked, "Why is your secretary a man now?"Maxwell shrugged. "Those women were too chatty. I didn't like it. Men talk less and are easier to manage. More importantly, my wife won't misunderstand me."Jennifer glared at him. "Who are you calling your wife?"Then, s

Jennifer rolled her eyes. "How shameless!"Laura retorted: "What are you talking about? Ever since you got with Maxwell, all you have on your mind is sex. You're not as innocent as before!"Their banter continued.Meanwhile, Maxwell had finished most of his work. Night fell in Haven City, and the city lights slowly turned on."Are you finished with work?" Jennifer peeked out from her phone cutely.Maxwell pecked her cheeks. "You must be hungry. Come, let's get something to eat."Jennifer put away her phone excitedly.As they were about to leave, Michael entered anxiously."Mr. Lance, it's best if you and Mrs. Lance stay for now," Michael said nervously. "Our company has been surrounded by reporters!"Jennifer panicked and pressed, "Why?"Michael explained, "It seems Mr. Zachary and Ms. Lorraine tipped off the reporters. Now, everyone is saying..."He hesitated, afraid that saying it aloud would anger Maxwell.Maxwell was already standing by the window, looking at the crowd

The station chief reviewed the surveillance footage and explained to Simon personally, "His last known location was at the dormitory building of Haven University. He went inside, but unfortunately, there were no cameras in the restrooms."We believed he changed his clothes and shoes before leaving. Our initial assessment is that he's likely a student at the university. But for now, the trail's gone cold. I'd say he's good at avoiding being tracked. At this point, we don't have enough evidence to bring him in."Simon nodded in response. Now, he was nearly certain of the stalker's identity. "Alright, I think I know who it is. Thank you for your hard work."The station chief hurriedly replied, "Oh, Mr. Moore, no need to thank us! We'll be needing your expertise down the line. Helping each other is what we do."…At the studio, Laura sat in her office, texting Simon to check if there were any updates on the stalker.However, all he replied was, "They're still investigating."The cor

"Mr. Moore…" Laura let out a sigh. After a moment's hesitation, she couldn't hold back any longer. "I really feel for the victim in the Brooks Group's workplace fatality case. Does the Brooks family even care about that small amount of money? One million dollars is just pocket change to them, but to another family, it's everything."Simon showed no emotion as he replied, "Mind your own business."Laura pouted but quickly relented. "So, do you have time tomorrow? My boss said we need to follow up on the progress of the Brooks Group case as soon as possible. Can you—"Before she could finish her sentence, Simon suddenly shut his laptop, set it aside, and leaned toward her.He fixed his gaze on the terrified Laura. His handsome face came dangerously close, stopping just inches from hers. Then, he said, "Well, as long as you behave and stop testing my patience."While unbuttoning her pajama top, he added, "Otherwise, with everything I've got going on, why should I take time to help

Simon pressed Laura against the wall and kissed her.Yet, this was what hurt her the most. He had never cared whether she wanted it or not. In fact, there were so many unresolved issues between them. However, Simon seemed utterly indifferent and showed no intention of addressing them. He kissed Laura for a while. Just when she thought he might take things to the next level, he abruptly stopped.Simon's breathing was unsteady, his voice low and hoarse as he said, "Go take a shower. I've got work to do and can't keep messing with you."It was only then Laura realized he had drawn her in. Now that he had stopped, her cheeks still burned, and she couldn't shake the lingering pull of desire he'd stirred.Simon seemed to notice her unease. He then asked with a smirk, "Or would you rather continue?"Laura's heart skipped a beat. She quickly pushed him away and lowered her head. "I'll go shower."As he stared at her retreating figure, the lust in Simon's gaze gradually faded. In the

In the next moment, Simon's lips curled into a smile. "It was Maxwell who called me and asked me to come help you with this. Don't forget, Jennifer isn't just your best friend. She's also Maxwell's wife and the mother of Caleb and Cassidy."Did you even check if Maxwell was okay with you staying at their place? Not everyone is as comfortable with you as Jennifer is."Laura wanted nothing more than to shut him up. However, she couldn't deny that he had a point. Apart from Harry, Jennifer was the only one who had ever treated Laura like family. While Jennifer might never push her away, that didn't mean everyone else would be as kind. That house belonged to Jennifer, but it was Maxwell's too.At that moment, Laura felt completely alone and helpless. …Just like that, she quickly packed a few essentials and followed Simon back to his place in the dead of night.He then pointed to a small wardrobe and lightly instructed, "You can leave your clothes here for now."After opening it,

Laura cried in Simon's arms for what felt like an eternity before finally lifting her head. Her voice carried a hint of grievance as she said, "Why wouldn't you believe me? I told you someone was following me, but you still didn't trust me."Simon gently wiped her tears away. "I'm sorry. That's on me."But Laura shoved him aside, her tone defiant. "Spare me the fake concern. I've reported it to the police, so it doesn't matter whether you show up or not."A flicker of amusement passed through Simon's dark eyes as he studied her. "Really?""Of course!" Laura lifted her chin, as if she weren't afraid of anything. "I'm trained in martial arts and can protect myself. Besides, the police are involved. Even without you, I'm not scared."Simon couldn't help but chuckle. Suddenly, his arm snaked around her waist, pulling her close again. "Who was trembling in fear earlier? The same person who stayed holed up in the bedroom all night because she was too afraid to come out?" he teased in

Only then did Maxwell understand the reason behind Jennifer's anxiety. He grabbed her arm and said, "Why does it have to be you? What about Simon? Didn't you say they had made up? "This kind of damsel-in-distress situation should be his job. It feels like we're overstepping if we take matters into our own hands, don't you think?""What's wrong with that? Laura is my best friend! If I don't help her now, who will?" Jennifer shot Maxwell an irritated look before adding, "This is the perfect chance to show Laura that she can't rely on Simon. Otherwise, she'll just fall deeper for him. Well, unless he's willing to marry her. Do you think he will?"Maxwell softened his tone and replied, "Let's set aside the question of whether he will marry her or not. Think about it. If Laura stays with us, she'll have to watch us all lovey-dovey, living our happy family life. How do you think that will make her feel?"I know she's your best friend, but this is just how humans are. We can't help but

Laura anxiously waited as the police retrieved the surveillance footage. But in the end, all they told her was that the alley she had mentioned was in an area slated for demolition. Hence, no cameras had been installed there. When she suggested they start investigating from the street where her office was located, the officer replied, "Miss, if we follow your suggestion, it would require a massive undertaking."We have other cases to handle as well. Please, go home and wait. If we find anything, we'll notify you immediately, okay?"Laura's urgency stemmed from how terrified she felt. After all, it was the first time she had been followed. Still, she didn't want to make things difficult for anyone. Since the police officers had made their stance clear, she decided not to press further and relented. Before leaving, she couldn't help but plead, "Please, do your best to look into this as soon as possible. Contact me immediately if there's any news."With that, she left the station,

Laura's heart pounded violently in her chest. She immediately pulled out her phone, instinctively thinking of calling Simon. However, she remembered they weren't on speaking terms, so she dialed Jennifer's number instead. A nurse answered the phone. "Hello, Dr. Susan is currently in surgery. Please call back in two hours."Left with no choice, Laura reluctantly called Simon. His deep voice came through almost immediately. "Hello, what is it?"Simon's voice, though pleasant, held an icy undertone. Laura knew he was still angry. But right now, someone was following her. She couldn't afford to care about anything else—not even her pride.She gripped the phone tightly, her voice trembling as she said, "S-Someone's following me. Can you come pick me up?""What?" Simon's response was indifferent. Then, he mockingly added, "Aren't you a martial arts expert? A good fighter, right? What's there to fear from a thief?"After all, Britney hadn't been able to secure her interview with hi

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
