"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

At the same time, Lorraine called a group of reporters to the hospital.The room was filled with flashing lights, capturing Jordan's miserable state.Lorraine cried out, "Everyone, look! Maxwell has taken over Lance Corporation by defying his father and beating his brother. He's ruthless and cunning. We are no match for him! We had no choice but to have the media seek justice for us!"Lorraine cried as she spoke, stirring up the anger of everyone present. After all, they could all see Jordan's wounds.Just then, Zachary took out Jordan's medical records sadly.The reporters rushed over."Mr. Lance, did your son chase you out of the family? Can you tell us more about Maxwell tampering with the will?""Mr. Lance, how do you feel about your two sons turning against each other?"Zachary said angrily, "Maxwell is not my son! I do not have such an unfilial son! I declare that I will sever my relationship with Maxwell! As for the will, I will take this matter to court!"Lorraine rush

The number was under Hugo's name anyway. It can't be traced back to Rachel.…At the same time, Jennifer and Maxwell watched as the online rumors spread like wildfire. Jennifer started to waver. Should she agree to Maxwell's request?Michael said, "Mr. Lance, if this continues, Lance Corporation's reputation will be affected! With Mr. Lance Senior's recent passing, the company is already falling apart. You need to make a decision quickly."Hearing this, Jennifer's heart tightened. She made up her mind and looked at Maxwell firmly. "I agree."Maxwell's eyes flickered in surprise. "Are you sure? If we walk out of here holding hands, our marriage will be made public. But I will take responsibility just as I promised Grandpa and treat you well."Jennifer swooned. She knew their future was uncertain like leaves in the wind. No one knew what the future would hold. But Jennifer had no choice but to support Maxwell and dispel the public's doubts about him.Jennifer was determined. "I've

The person was indeed hired by Lorraine and Zachary. But he hadn't expected Maxwell to confront him in front of everyone.Seeing him panicking, Maxwell signaled to Michael. The latter caught on and had the bodyguards bring the reporter to the front, demanding he show his press pass."I… I didn't bring it!" he stammered. "I left in a hurry and forgot."Michael said coldly, "A reporter without a press pass, huh? Fine, call your colleague to bring it over. Otherwise, we'll sue you for defamation! Do you know how much Lance Corporation's reputation is worth?"The fake reporter realized the seriousness of his situation. If Lance Corporation sued him, he couldn't afford to pay them!So, he confessed, "Fine, I'll tell the truth. Someone paid me to do this!"Michael pressed, "Who was it?"The person shook his head. "I don't know. A man in a suit gave me money to pose as a reporter and ask those questions."This revelation spread online.Even the most naive onlookers noticed something

"No, you're injured, and you need to rest. Besides, watching me work would be boring for you," Maxwell didn't want Jennifer staying up with him.But Jennifer took out her phone, smiling. "It's amusing to see myself turned into the female lead of a romance novel. Look, these people are so imaginative."Maxwell glanced at her phone. There were various stories about how they'd met, why they'd gotten divorced, and how she had won his heart back. Some even turned her story into a female empowerment tale, depicting a housewife abandoned by her husband, who got into a prestigious medical school and won back her ex-husband's heart.Jennifer was thoroughly entertained and said, "Go back to work. I'm enjoying these stories and haven't had enough yet!"Maxwell laughed helplessly before giving her a grim look. "Jennifer, do you think I was acting in front of the reporters?"Jennifer hesitated. "I don't know. I wouldn't be angry at you even if it was an act. I promised Grandpa that I'd protect
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 448
Because of this, Jennifer didn't share Laura's vision of a bright future.Meanwhile, Rachel, who was abroad, was shocked to see the video of Maxwell confessing his love to Jennifer.She had assumed that Maxwell would abandon Jennifer to protect himself under immense pressure. She never expected that despite their secret marriage of over two years, he would refuse to clear up their relationship, choosing instead to confess his love for Jennifer amidst the chaos.Rachel clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms. But the pain was nothing compared to the ache in her heart. She had sacrificed so much to win Maxwell's heart, using every method possible. She even gave up her legs despite being a dancer.But what about Maxwell? He kept Rachel hidden abroad while giving Jennifer the life she always yearned for.Rachel's face twisted with rage as she smashed her phone. She gritted her teeth and trembled. "Maxwell, why do you treat me like this? I hate you! I will never let you an

Maxwell wrapped his arms around Jennifer's waist and burrowed into her neck like a lost child. "Jennifer, you're the only family I have left after Grandpa passed away."Jennifer's heart broke. She hugged him tightly and whispered, "Everything will go smoothly at the court hearing tomorrow. These dark days will eventually pass."…On the day of the court hearing, many reporters gathered at the courthouse entrance. Maxwell was someone who valued his privacy. But he decided to see this through since Lorraine and Zachary had already aired their family disputes.In the courtroom, Lorraine even brought the injured Jordan to win the judge's sympathy and to further portray Maxwell as ruthless and heartless. She cried, "Your Honor, you must seek justice for us! Maxwell has harmed his brother and tampered with the will. This is unacceptable!"The judge banged the gavel. "It's not your turn to speak yet!"Zachary quickly signaled Lorraine to stay quiet, and she reluctantly complied.The

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

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
