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.

    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

    Even after how Simon treated Laura the previous night, she no longer cared. After all, it was her decision to approach him, and she willingly agreed to it. "Thank you, Mr. Moore. I'll wait for your update."Laura politely nodded to Simon, hurriedly dressed, and walked to the door. However, he stopped her, asking, "Where are you going?"Laura froze momentarily, looking at him in puzzlement. She had already slept with him. What more did he want?It seemed that Simon noticed her confusion. His lips curled into a faint smile as he calmly said, "Ms. Scott, from now on, I expect you to be at my beck and call. "Don't keep me waiting, and don't do anything that would upset me. Do you understand?"Laura was taken aback. Though he was being cryptic, the implication was clear. He wanted her to be his lover and to please him. On top of that, he did not specify how long it would go on. But now, to save her father, she had no other options. So, she nodded obediently and answered, "I unders

    So this was the man Laura had loved for almost a decade. It turned out Michel could treat other women even better than he'd treated her.As Laura observed them, tears began to flow uncontrollably down her cheeks.Suddenly, Michel turned around and locked eyes with her. Laura immediately lowered her head, unwilling to reveal her vulnerability. Yet, a gloom clouded over Sabrina's eyes as she approached Laura step by step. She looked haughtily at Laura, her words cutting her mercilessly."Laura, do you have no shame? Mic doesn't love you anymore. Do you really think shedding tears will make him leave me for you? Don't be naive! Right now, you're nothing more than a stray!"Clenching her teeth in hatred, Laura retorted, "Since he could use me for his own gain and harm my father, he could easily do the same to your family in the future! "By then, the Fletchers would be ruined. If you don't believe me, just wait and see!"Right then, Michel stood by Sabrina's side and admonished, "L

    By then, Laura's makeup was already done. She looked stunning as ever and exuded an air of elegance.In the face of Sabrina's insults, she suppressed her emotions, rose, and walked to the rack. "I'm wearing this tonight," she declared, lifting her chin. As she spoke, Laura pointed to a blue haute couture gown. It was the most expensive piece in the store. At that sight, Sabrina was displeased. She immediately shoved Laura aside and insisted, "I want this too!"Caught between the two women, the shop assistant cautiously uttered, "Ms. Scott, Ms. Fletcher, there's only one of this gown. Could you—"Sabrina shot the shop assistant a look and snapped, "The Scott family is bankrupt. Are you blind? Can't you see she's just putting on airs here?""I chose this gown first. Ms. Fletcher, do you have a habit of snatching things from people? First men, now clothes?" Laura calmly responded. Right away, Sabrina's face fell, rendered speechless by her. She immediately called Michel for he

    How could this man, who was allegedly Laura's boyfriend, appear much more mature and sophisticated than Michel? What right did she have? Besides, Michel had just dumped Laura, so how did she manage to find such an outstanding man so quickly?Fuming, Sabrina shot Michel a look, signaling him to secure the dress for her. But before she knew it, Simon had taken the dress and held it up against Laura. Then, he asked Michel, "Mr. Jensen, you don't mind, do you?""My apologies, Mr. Moore. I didn't know Ms. Scott was with you. Since she likes this gown, she can have it," Michel responded with a strained smile.Simon nodded lightly and said to Laura, "Hurry to the fitting room and change into the gown. We're running late."With the gown in hand, Laura hurried to the fitting room. Yet, her mind was filled with questions. Why did Michel seem to be afraid of Simon? And how did Simon know Michel's last name? Did they know each other?Laura dared not keep Simon waiting outside, so she di

    Michel felt his chest tighten with anger and spat, "You're a lawyer—you're always so eloquent. I can't win an argument with you. But don't tell me you like Laura and that you planned to break us up in the beginning!""Mr. Jensen, have you lost your mind?" Simon appeared to be amused. Regardless, his tone was icy. "Was it me who tore you and Laura apart? "How many women did you sleep with in the three years you were abroad? Have you counted? As for your breakup with her, it was your choice."Having said his piece, Simon did not want to argue any further. As he was leaving, Michel uttered bitterly, "Mr. Moore, if Laura finds out you were the one who destroyed her family, she'll never forgive you!"Simon's eyes turned cold as if a thin layer of frost had settled over them. His piercing gaze bore into Michel like daggers. "Mr. Jensen, you should appreciate what you have now. The less you talk, the more you gain. Otherwise, you might find yourself in the same predicament as Harry som

    Simon didn't immediately start his car. Instead, he quietly stared at Laura's figure with a darkened gaze. It wasn't until she was almost out of sight that he drove up to her.Laura never expected to see him, thinking he had left."You…" Laura's eyes watered.Simon had taken advantage of and humiliated her in the past. Yet, he was still the light in the dark when she needed it the most.In that aspect, he was leaps and bounds better than Michel.Michel was the one who pushed her under the bus. But Simon was the one who saved her.Laura got in his car again and thanked him. "Thank you, Mr. Moore."Simon was focused on the road. "Don't thank me yet. I thought I would give you a few days to rest. It was you who forced yourself into my bed. So, don't blame me for going through with it."Laura's heart dropped and she gripped her bag tighter. She still trembled when she recalled last night's pain.How could she forget? Simon was not a kind man and expected to be repaid for his deeds

    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

    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

    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
