You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 458
Laura felt a surge of panic and hastily pressed the mute button. She then dashed out of the study, terrified of being caught. The feeling of sneaking around like a thief was truly unbearable.Back in her room, she realized it was a call from Jennifer, and only then did she heave a sigh of relief. Laura lowered her voice before answering the call, "Jennifer, why are you calling me in the middle of the night? You nearly gave me a heart attack.""Laurie, I… There's something I need to tell you," Jennifer said, "I've thought about it all night and decided you should know.""What is it? Why so serious?" Laura inquired with confusion. Jennifer paused momentarily. Then, she told her friend the truth. "I was out shopping yesterday and saw Michel with another woman. They were buying clothes together. Maxwell saw them, too."Laura froze, unable to speak for a long time. Finally, she asked, "Are you sure it was Michel?""How could I not recognize Michel? I even asked him at lunch tod

If Michel was truly seeing someone else, why would he stay with Laura?Laura was overwhelmed with distress. Numerous questions weighed heavily on her heart, making it hard to breathe.Michel quickly noticed her unease and asked tentatively, "What's wrong, Laurie? Is something bothering you? If it's about the project, don't worry, I can always think of something else. Don't let my issues ruin your mood."Laura found it hard to believe that such a reasonable man would cheat on her. Hence, she decided not to beat around the bush and confront the situation head-on.Laura broke free from Michel's embrace, stared at him solemnly, and said, "Jennifer told me she saw you with another woman that day. You two seemed to be all chummy. Is this true?"Michel had anticipated that Jennifer would tell Laura. He calmly answered, "Jennifer asked me about it at lunch yesterday while you were in the restroom. I told her everything. Didn't she tell you?"That woman is my client. My secretary acci

After hearing Michel's words, Laura dared not act on her own. So, she replied, "Alright, I'll follow your lead."With that, Michel sent her back to the Scott residence before rushing to the office. He threw the USB flash drive onto the desk and let out a disappointed sigh. To Michel, Laura was more of a liability than an asset. He thought he had made her happy for no good reason. However, to be safe, he still plugged the USB flash drive into his computer to check.To Michel's surprise, everything he wanted was copied onto the USB flash drive. In other words, Laura had already plugged it into Harry's computer. But unbeknownst to her, this USB flash drive was different from the others. It was custom-made and contained chips from a prestigious foreign electronics research company.As soon as the USB flash drive was connected to the computer, it could immediately retrieve all the data from that computer.Michel was extremely excited, and his eyes sparkled with intensity. He resem

Laura recognized the woman immediately. She was Sabrina Fletcher, Cadmus' daughter.At that moment, she gripped the steering wheel tightly. Laura felt as though every fiber in her body had frozen in place. She wanted nothing more than to floor the accelerator, crash the car into them, and bring an end to it all. However, her rationality made her abandon such frightening thoughts.Laura had no idea how she managed to get out of the car and stand before them. She knew she must have appeared rather pathetic to them. Nevertheless, she needed to question Michel and demand an explanation.Sabrina cast a disdainful glance at Laura before saying to Michel, "Mic, Mr. and Mrs. Jensen are getting worried. Let's head inside and not waste time talking to irrelevant people."Michel's gaze was still as gentle as ever, reminiscent of how he used to look at Laura. Yet, he treated Laura like she was invisible while holding Sabrina's hand and saying, "Let's go in."Laura stood frozen in place, h

Laura had fallen in love with the wrong person. As a result, she lost her home and her father's company. As she sat by the roadside, her usual air of elegance had vanished. Instead, she resembled a homeless child. Laura thought of reaching out to Jennifer for help. She wanted to tell Jennifer that it was her own foolishness that had allowed Michel to take advantage of her. In this moment of utter helplessness and despair, Laura did not know who else to turn to. Unfortunately, despite numerous attempts, Jennifer's phone remained unreachable.…Meanwhile, Jennifer was already on a flight to Erihal."Maxwell, why do you insist on taking our wedding photos in Erihal?" Jennifer looked at Maxwell with confusion. "I think Haven City has plenty of great wedding photography studios."After all, he had never mentioned wanting to go abroad to take their wedding photos. However, the day before, he suddenly revealed that he had booked tickets to Erihal as a surprise for her. So, Jennifer

Laura stared at Simon in astonishment. Though his words were calm and devoid of profanity, she felt her face flush with humiliation. It was as if someone had slapped her several times.Not only did Simon accuse Harry of being a thief, but he also treated Laura as such. She lightly clenched her fists and asked with her head down, "Then I'll head back and wait for you. Could you send me a message when you're free?"Simon chuckled upon hearing that, his demeanor calm yet frosty. "Ms. Scott, it looks like you've never asked for a favor before. The most crucial aspect of begging is sincerity."Laura caught on to his meaning immediately. With her fists held gently, she humbly answered, "Okay, I'll wait for you outside the law firm."And so, she stood in the biting winter winds, clad in only a thin jacket.Simon, on the other hand, sat comfortably in his well-heated office. He meticulously attended to his tasks, seemingly completely forgetting about the woman waiting outside.After th

Simon's residence was a spacious apartment in the neighborhood. It boasted the best view and location, spanning over two thousand square feet. Though not as grand as a villa, its opulent interior reflected his modesty and attention to detail. However, Laura could not understand why he had brought her here. She suddenly recalled his proposal from long ago, suggesting she become his lover. This memory only intensified her anxiety.Simon entered the house, took off his coat, walked to the dining table, and poured himself a glass of water. As expected, he only poured himself a drink and paid her no mind.Laura stood awkwardly by the doorway, anxiously watching him. Simon sat on the couch and asked with a frown, "Ms. Scott, are you going to stand there and talk business with me?""My shoes are dirty. I'm afraid of soiling your floor," Laura replied in a low voice. Simon took a sip of water before saying indifferently, "There are slippers in the shoe cabinet."After changing her sh

No one could fathom Laura's despair at that moment. She even felt that she had depleted every ounce of dignity she possessed in this lifetime. From now on, it seemed only humiliation remained.Simon's lips curled into an icy smile. Laura's reaction was exactly as he had predicted. He turned around, gripped her chin with one hand, and uttered with a smirk, "But I don't like getting involved with someone who's already had previous partners."Didn't you say you had a fiancé? I'm a clean freak, you know."Laura immediately understood what he meant. Her cheeks burned hotter, tinged with embarrassment. She bit her lip and replied in a voice barely louder than a whisper, "He… We haven't slept together."Simon did not believe her. After all, Michel and Laura had been together for many years. Moreover, she did not seem as conservative as Jennifer.So, he refused to believe that nothing had happened between them. With that in mind, Simon felt inexplicably irritated.He suddenly lowered h

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
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1187
Meanwhile, Fiona had taken Hailey to Valor Law Firm, and they waited for Simon to finish work. Both of them knew that as long as he didn't return home, Laura would be left out in the storm.Even so, that wasn't enough to quell the hatred burning inside them.Simon had no intention of dining with Hailey, so he snapped, "How could you bring my mom out in this weather? The rain is pouring down. You're a doctor. Surely you know she can't be exposed to the cold with her condition?"Fiona quickly stepped in to mediate. "What's wrong with you? Why blame Hailey?" She scolded him gently."It's been a while since I last visited you at work. That's why I asked her to come with me. Besides, a friend gave me some premium truffles. Since you two are always so busy, tonight's the perfect chance for both of you to enjoy a good meal."Simon wasn't about to argue with his mother. Hence, he reluctantly agreed. "Fine. Let me wrap things up, and we'll head back."…Half an hour later, all three re
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1186
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
