You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 447
"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

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

Realization struck Zachary. Robert must have anticipated this day. This was why he had meticulously set up numerous traps to ensnare them, all to clear any obstacles for Maxwell and ensure a smooth transition for him.Zachary and Lorraine lost the lawsuit. Not only that, but they also faced the public's insults.As they left, reporters surrounded them, shouting profanities at them, saying they were shameful.Lorraine wished the ground would swallow her whole, while Zachary experienced the most humiliating moments of his life.In stark contrast, Maxwell's side was triumphant. As they exited the courthouse, reporters swarmed around them, eager to get a word from him. However, Michael and the bodyguards held them at bay, allowing Maxwell and Jennifer to head straight to their car.Jennifer gave him a puzzled look. "We've won the lawsuit. Why didn't you say a few words to the reporters? You gave an interview when Lorraine and the rest accused you. Why are you silent now?"Maxwell smi

Each time Jennifer witnessed Michel's tender consideration and loving devotion toward Laura, she could not help but feel envious. She was convinced that Laura was the happiest woman alive.Having a marriage supported by both families and a fiancé who loved her so much—how could anyone ask for more? Yet now, it appeared women were just too easily satisfied.Right then, Michel emerged from the shop with that woman. Jennifer quickly ducked into the stairwell, narrowly avoiding being seen by them. Maxwell followed her into the stairwell and asked, "Are we… still watching the movie?"Based on his understanding of her, tonight's date was likely ruined. Sure enough, Jennifer shook her head. She sighed before saying, "I'm not in the mood to watch a movie anymore.""What do you want to do with all these photos you took?" Maxwell inquired with a frown.Without hesitation, Jennifer replied, "Of course, I'm going to show them to Laura. Otherwise, she'd never believe Michel cheated on her.

How could Maxwell possibly reveal Simon's secret? Besides, this matter involved Jennifer's father. So, Maxwell had to keep his mouth shut. He did not want Jennifer to get hurt. Thus, he lightly shook his head and answered, "I've been hearing some bad things about Harry from others in the business world. You know what they say, like father, like daughter. I was just worried that Laura would be a bad influence."Jennifer did not think much of it and chuckled. "You worry too much! Laurie treats me very well, and so does Mr. Scott. I'm sure it's his competitors slandering them."Maxwell forced a smile and muttered, "I hope so."…On their way home, Jennifer took out her phone and opened her conversation with Laura several times. However, ultimately, she put it away. At that sight, Maxwell thought she was amusing. "Weren't you in a hurry to tell her about Michel earlier? Why are you hesitating now? Did you actually heed my advice and decide not to meddle in her affairs?""Of cour

Jennifer wondered if she was supposed to turn a blind eye and accept sharing her husband with another woman for the rest of her life.She was not a saint, so she could not do it. No matter how much she loved Maxwell, she could not compromise her values. Now, the crisis had passed for Maxwell. He also took care of everything that needed to be dealt with. In the days to come, he would continue to be the commanding and decisive president of Lance Group, with a future filled with even greater success and broader horizons. As for Jennifer, it was time for her to step away. Only by doing so could she choose the life she truly wanted.Noticing her silence, Maxwell grew increasingly anxious. "Jennifer, didn't we promise Grandpa we'd stay together?""Maxwell, why don't we take our wedding photos first?" Jennifer finally spoke, a faint smile playing on her lips. She longed to wear a wedding dress and be Maxwell's bride, even if it was just for one day. After all, she had loved him wit

"Jennifer, what's gotten into you? Why didn't you greet Michel?" Laura reminded her.Only then did Jennifer snap back to reality. She squeezed out a smile and greeted, "Long time no see, Michel.""It's been years, Jennifer. You've turned into quite the young lady," Michel responded while looking at her, his tone still as brotherly as ever.Suddenly, Laura glanced at Jennifer's stomach and commented, "Jennifer, have you put on weight recently? Look at your tummy."Jennifer's heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively looked down at her belly. Sure enough, it was starting to show a slight bulge.If even Laura could notice, it was only a matter of time before Maxwell did too. Anxiety gripped Jennifer as she took a seat across from them. Then, she took a sip of water in an attempt to hide her unease. Michel pinched Laura's cheek. "It's rude to ask if a woman has put on weight. You should watch what you say."Laura playfully stuck out her tongue and said, "Jennifer and I are very

As she spoke, Hailey strode toward the balcony to check. She was sure she had seen a figure reflected in the glass door between the living room and the balcony. Laura had to be hiding there.Just as she was about to yank the door open and drag Laura out, Fiona stepped forward and locked it from inside. Then, she turned to Hailey and said with a smile, "Why are you so jumpy today? It's about to rain. The wind rattling things outside is perfectly normal, isn't it?"Fiona's actions made Hailey abandon her suspicion. After all, a thunderstorm was expected that night.With the door now locked, Laura was trapped on the balcony with no way back in. Hailey couldn't help but pray for the lightning to finish Laura off.The thought sent a wave of satisfaction through Hailey. "Alright, I trust you, Mom. Shall we head to Simon's law firm and then return to the Moore residence together?" she asked. "Sure! Having you two around makes me so happy," Fiona replied, patting Hailey's hand affectio

Violet hissed through gritted teeth, "Oh, it gets worse! That bitch Laura has moved into Simon's place! A friend at the police station told me Jonah caught them coming out of Simon's garage together. That was how he had those photos."Hailey clenched her jaw, her anger bubbling over. She had only been to Simon's house once, and even then, he had thrown her out. She couldn't believe that Laura had the audacity to move in. "I won't let that bitch get away with this! I'm holding back for now, but once I'm Mrs. Moore, I'll deal with her," Hailey declared.…Meanwhile, Laura returned to Simon's place after work. Without wasting time, she started packing her things.Now that Jonah had been arrested, the stalking nightmare was finally over. Hence, there was no reason to stay here any longer.Although moving back to her rented apartment wouldn't free her from Simon's control, at least it was her own place.When she finished packing, Laura glanced outside. The sky darkened as thick cl

Miguel sighed, cursing himself inwardly for his stupidity. How had it taken him this long to piece it all together? The last name "Moore" wasn't common to begin with. When Simon started appearing in his life again after all these years, he should have connected the dots sooner.If he had, Simon's obsession with his refusal to take Harry's case would have been obvious.Simon's piercing, oppressive gaze bore into Miguel as he closed the distance between them. "What do you know about my father's death? How much do you know? Tell me!" he demanded. His voice was low, but it carried a dangerous edge. For a split second, Miguel's mind went blank. But a moment later, he yelled, "I don't know! Stop asking! Simon, don't forget. I'm your mentor. No matter how successful you are now, this isn't how you talk to me!"But Miguel's reaction gave Simon all the confirmation he needed. Clearly, the former knew something about Anthony's death. Yet, infuriatingly, he still wouldn't talk.Simon le

Laura's face clouded with worry. "So, what do we do now?""That's not your problem to solve. It's his," Simon replied. "The stalker's been caught, so there's nothing for you to fear anymore. Just carry on with your life. Leave Jonah to me."Even so, unease lingered. But Laura didn't want to deal with Jonah anymore. She had explained things to him countless times, always trying to reason with him.She never imagined he would go to such extremes and frighten her like this. So, this time, she decided not to intervene. Simon was experienced in handling situations like these, after all.…The next day, Simon went straight to Miguel's law firm. He wasted no time delivering the news of Jonah's arrest and outlined the events leading up to it in detail.Miguel's face drained of color upon hearing that."This can't be true!" he exclaimed, his voice laced with disbelief. "Jonah has always been well-behaved. He'd never do something like this! Simon, there must be some mistake."Simon's t

Almost immediately, Laura pulled out her camera and snapped a photo of the couple on the field. She figured she could ask Britney to write a small feature about it to fill some space in the paper.The young man knelt on one knee, holding out a ring as he asked, "Will you marry me?"On the other hand, the woman was overwhelmed. Tears streamed down her face, and she couldn't even manage a coherent response.Around them, the crowd erupted with cheers. "Say yes! Say yes!" they chanted.Laura stood silently, her eyes glistening as tears clung to her lashes. She envied the woman. There was nothing more beautiful than being proposed to by someone you loved and knowing you were cherished. Unfortunately, that kind of happiness would never be hers.Her choice to be with Simon came with a cost—she had to keep their relationship hidden. She had willingly let go of any hope of a public future with him, of sharing their happiness openly. One day, perhaps soon, Simon would stage a grand pr

Simon hummed softly before explaining, "The police retrieved the surveillance footage, but it wasn't enough to prove anything. Now that he's taken photos of us, we have solid evidence. This confirms he's been stalking and secretly photographing us."Only then did Laura understand why he had asked her out. The excitement that had been bubbling within her vanished instantly at that realization.She pulled her hand away from his, her voice tinged with disappointment as she said, "So, this is why you wanted to watch the fireworks. Well, now that we've got the evidence, can we go home?"But to her surprise, Simon took her hand again, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Who says we can't gather evidence and enjoy the fireworks at the same time?"Laura froze momentarily. He had a point.In the end, they went to Botanical Garden as planned. The fireworks show was just beginning when they arrived. On top of that, Simon had made arrangements beforehand. So, the garden's director personall

Laura blinked innocently and answered, "I was talking about myself."Simon fixed his gaze on her, narrowing his eyes slightly. "Should I call Alex over right now? You can ask him directly if he's willing to accept you."Laura hadn't expected to shoot herself in the foot again, and her face turned red from his teasing. Flustered, she shoved him away. "Oh, come on! I was joking!"I was asking on behalf of Britney. You know, my colleague. If Alex is single, why not let them give it a shot? Britney's great. She's cheerful and kind. They seem like a good match."Simon finally let out a scoff. "You've got a knack for worrying about everyone, don't you?"She pushed him toward his desk and replied, "Alright, that's enough. You should get back to work. I'll tell Britney and have Alex give her a ride back. It's a perfect opportunity for them to spend some time together."With that, Simon sat back down in front of his computer and got back to work.At the same time, Laura texted Britney, a

"No problem, Laura," Alex replied before shifting his gaze to Britney.Then, he shyly said, "Let me show you around our firm. That way, if you guys ever work with us again, you'll have a better sense of how we operate."Britney, ever cheerful and outgoing, flashed a bright smile. "Sounds great! Let's go!"A satisfied smile tugged at Laura's lips as she watched them chat. With that, she entered Simon's office.Work was something both Simon and Laura took seriously. Moreover, the Brooks Group workplace fatality case weighed heavily on her heart.She couldn't shake her frustration and confusion about why Simon had taken the case, but she had a job to do. Setting her personal feelings aside, she switched into professional mode and began asking her questions.This time, Simon didn't make things difficult for her. He answered each question thoroughly and without hesitation. Toward the end of the interview, Laura asked a pointed question that hadn't been part of her original script.

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
