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

    To ensure Jennifer stayed out of the Scott family's business, Maxwell piped up, "I think it would be better to invite Laura over for a meal. You could even give the gift then. What do you think?"Jennifer widened her eyes in shock and smiled. "It's weird. You don't usually get along with Laura. So why are you looking out for her today?"Maxwell hid his emotions. "She's your friend, and I want you to be happy."Jennifer nodded. "Then it's decided! We can invite Laura and Quincy over and introduce them to each other. I'm sure they will love it."Maxwell pinched her cheek. "As long as you're happy."It was evening when the plane landed. Jennifer immediately called Laura and Quincy, asking if they were free that night.But Quincy had to work the night shift while Jennifer couldn't reach Laura's phone.Jennifer suddenly had a bad feeling about it and decided to visit Laura with the gift.Martha called out behind her, "Where are you going, Mrs. Lance? It's almost dinner time.""Oh,

    They were going too far! Jennifer's anger flared. She stomped up to Michel and glared at him. "I should ask you the same! Why are you here? Where is Laura?"Michel didn't seem guilty and replied calmly, "This isn't the Scott Residence anymore but my future in-laws' place. And I already broke up with Laura. I'm not obliged to know where she is.""What are you talking about?" Jennifer's mind buzzed. She couldn't process what was happening.But Laura was neither answering her calls nor did Jennifer know where she went. So Jennifer insisted. "I won't leave unless you find Laura! Listen closely, Michel. I won't let you go if anything happens to Laura!"Sabrina suddenly sneered. "Who do you think you are? How dare you make a fuss at my place? Didn't you hear Michel? Laura and he are through.""Shut up!" Jennifer yelled. "And who the fuck are you? How dare you butt in?"Sabrina snickered darkly. "Let me make it clear to you. The Scott family is bankrupt, and Laura became someone's bitch

    Michel paused. He never imagined Jennifer to know such a powerful figure. He immediately changed his tone and reached his hand out. "Sorry, Mr. Lance. It was just a misunderstanding. It's a pleasure to meet you. And you're Jennifer's…"Maxwell sneered at Michel's outreached hand, not making a move to shake it. He held Jennifer tightly. "Listen closely. Jennifer is my wife. Crossing her means you're crossing me too. We'll settle this next time."He then led Jennifer to the car by the hand.Michel was frozen in place. How… How could this be?Sabrina was in disbelief, and she complained to Michel. "They must be joking, right? I don't believe that woman married Maxwell Lance! I've never even heard of her! Where did she come from?"Michel was panicking, afraid that his hard-earned business would face Maxwell's wrath.…Jennifer was silent on the car ride home.Maxwell was worried and parked the car at the side of the road. He cupped Jennifer's cheeks and asked softly, "Are you hurt?

    Jennifer's heart ached hearing how Laura was trying to cover up the truth. "Where are you? You don't have to lie. I went to your place earlier. Your house…"She couldn't bring herself to continue.The line fell silent. After a while, Laura sighed dejectedly. "Yes, my family went bankrupt."Jennifer tightened her grip on the phone. "Where are you? How are you doing? Where are you staying now?""I'm staying at a friend's place." Laura didn't want to continue. "Jennifer, I need some time alone. I'll call you again when I compose myself, okay?"Jennifer wanted to say something but the line already went dead.…Laura stared at her phone in a daze, her heart trembling.Just then, the man on top of her hummed. "What do you think your friend's reaction would be if she knew you were pleasuring me right now?"Simon bit her ears, preparing to shake her world up.Laura sighed tiredly. "Please let me off tonight. I'm… tired. I can't take it anymore."Simon suddenly thought of something a

    Simon turned around with an unexplainable gaze. "Then call your friend out for dinner."After all, Simon couldn't bring himself to go after the Yale family with Maxwell around. But he could at least horrify Jennifer.Laura didn't understand why Simon insisted on letting Jennifer know about their relationship. But she had no choice but to comply now. So, she called Jennifer.Jennifer was about to reach home when she received the call. She grew worried. "Have you thought things through, Laura? We're friends. You shouldn't keep this from me.""Okay. Then let's go out for dinner together. I'll tell you everything when we meet." Laura's tone was soft and cautious.Jennifer didn't think much about it and settled on a time and place with Laura before hanging up. She said to Maxwell, "Let's not go home yet. Can you take me to Gold Guardian? Laura thought it through and wished to meet me."Maxwell found it strange. Laura kept avoiding her family's issues with Jennifer earlier. But why did

    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
