You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 487
Zion smiled. "Thank you for your concern, but there's no need for that!"With that, he left Lance Corporation.Maxwell watched his retreating figure, a bad feeling growing stronger within him. Was Zion's sudden visit and words just idle talk? He spoke of atonement, but how exactly did he plan to atone?Maxwell spent the entire day preoccupied with Zion's words, unable to focus on work.…Back at the hospital, Jennifer had been on leave for so long that there was now a new batch of patients in the ward.She stayed after work, reviewing each patient's condition and storing them in memory.Nathan was the department head and usually didn't need to stay late unless there was an emergency surgery. But tonight, seeing Jennifer diligently going through patient records, he didn't want to leave either. So, Nathan decided to stay and keep her company.Seeing Nathan printing consent forms for the next day's surgeries, Jennifer quickly said, "Mr. Lowe, that's my job. Why are you doing my wo

Nathan's expression darkened. After all, Maxwell was Jennifer's ex-husband. Even though Jennifer had said they were divorced, such a young and beautiful girl had once shared an unforgettable past with this man.Nathan's usually calm and gentle gaze now carried a hint of coldness. "Jennifer is my student. I don't need you to tell me how to teach my student, Mr. Lance."Maxwell's eyes burned with anger, and the tension between the two men rose.Jennifer quickly ran to Maxwell and lowered her voice, "What are you talking about? I chose to work overtime myself. Mr. Lowe didn't ask me to."Maxwell shot a glare at Nathan. "Then, Dr. Lowe, please teach my wife during working hours and not interfere with her rest time. Also, be more formal with my wife. You shouldn't be calling her by her name."With that, he grabbed Jennifer's hand, intending to leave.Nathan knew that he had no right to stop Maxwell. But Nathan couldn't stand his arrogance. After all, he had never been treated like thi

"We're visiting your father." Maxwell felt uneasy thinking about how Zion was acting that morning.But since Zion didn't want Jennifer to know about his dark past, Maxwell had no right to tell her. After all, this would only burden Jennifer with guilt and shatter her admiration for her father.To dispel Jennifer's doubts, Maxwell said, "Didn't you say your father wasn't well yesterday? Let's go visit him together today, so you can be at ease."Jennifer couldn't believe her ears. After all, Maxwell had always looked down on her family, especially Zion. So, she never expected Maxwell to suggest visiting her father.Maxwell seemed to realize what she was thinking. "What's so strange about that? You're my wife, and your father is my in-law. It's normal to care for him if he's feeling unwell."Jennifer was touched, and her heart warmed. She cautiously asked, "So… You're not angry about last night?"Last night, he stormed out in disappointment after she denied his advances. She thought

After dinner, Maxwell accompanied Zion to the study to play chess.Agnes couldn't help but treat Jennifer better at the turn of events. She asked, "Why is Maxwell in such a good mood today? Not only did he come back with you, but he's also being so filial to your father."After all, Maxwell didn't even attend her grand birthday banquet back then.Jennifer sounded melancholic. "Maybe… he's trying to be a good husband?"But life was cruel. When one had walked down one too many wrong paths, the person waiting at the end of the tunnel would be gone by the time one found the right path.Jennifer often thought how wonderful it would be if their relationship only involved the two of them.Agnes advised, "You're not taking advantage of the situation! From what I see, Maxwell cares about you. You should seize this opportunity and have a child to tie him down. If this were Bridget, she would have been smarter and might have already had Maxwell wrapped around her finger."Jennifer's lashes

Maxwell leaned down to peck her lips. "It's fine, I like holding you."With that, he carried her to the car and carefully fastened her seatbelt.Maxwell's care touched Jennifer. She gazed at him sincerely. "Thank you for coming with me to see my dad today."Maxwell started the car. "You don't need to thank me. Why are you being so distant with me?""I'm not! I just genuinely appreciate everything you've done for me," Jennifer said earnestly. "I've dreamed of this for a long time—having the people I love and care about by my side. In the past, you and my dad couldn't stand each other, and I felt like I was between a rock and a hard place. I'm happy with how things are now."Maxwell held her hand. "It means I'm doing the right thing if it makes you happy."Jennifer rested her head on his shoulder and thought, "Don't be so nice to me, Maxwell. I'll find it harder to leave."Maxwell suddenly remembered something. "By the way, you should visit your dad more often when you have the ti

Just then, Maxwell's phone suddenly rang. Jennifer had to stop talking.Maxwell answered the call, and whatever was said made him slam on the brakes, causing Jennifer to hit the back of her seat hard.What happened?" Jennifer asked, seeing Maxwell's tense expression. "Who was that?"Maxwell's face was grim, but he didn't want to lie to Jennifer. He said through gritted teeth, "Rachel was involved in a terrorist attack abroad and has been taken hostage. I need to go there immediately."Jennifer's expression froze. She couldn't fathom what trick Rachel was playing this time. Only Maxwell would fall for her schemes!Maxwell restarted the car. "I'll take you home now. We'll go for your check-up when I return from abroad."Jennifer seemed to catch a glimpse of her future. If she returned to Maxwell, Rachel would constantly intrude in their life.Jennifer felt a tight knot in her chest. She wanted to take a risk. If Maxwell believed her and didn't go abroad to find Rachel, she could b

Jennifer wondered if she should be grateful for the call. At least, it made her see Maxwell's true colors and destroyed all her hopes and expectations.Fairy tales didn't exist. And love was something that could not be shared.She touched her belly and choked, "I'm sorry, my baby. I couldn't keep Daddy."…Maxwell had been gone for three days and finally called her on the fourth day.Jennifer didn't answer and stared blankly as the phone rang. Later, Maxwell sent a message saying everything went smoothly, and he would be back tomorrow.Jennifer sneered and tossed the phone aside.Nathan noticed her troubled look and asked, "Jennifer, are you feeling unwell? Do you need to rest?""No, I'm fine." Jennifer smiled and tried to focus on her work.Just then, her phone started ringing again.Nathan reminded her, "Aren't you going to answer that?"Her phone had been ringing earlier too. Although she hadn't said anything, Nathan could guess who was calling.Jennifer felt embarrassed

The policeman hesitated. "It's best if you don't. It was an 18-story building. Your dad… We fear it might traumatize you."Jennifer shook her head. "I'm a doctor. I've seen everything. I'm not afraid!"With that, she reached to lift the white sheet. Nathan immediately stepped forward and instinctively held Jennifer. He was afraid she might collapse from the shock.When the policeman lifted the sheet, it revealed Zion's blood-covered, unrecognizable face.Jennifer's vision went black, and she fainted."Jennifer!" Nathan was startled and immediately picked her up.He looked at the pale, heartbroken Jennifer in his arms, not knowing what to do. After all, Jennifer was only in her early 20s and had just witnessed the horrific sight of her father's death. Such a gruesome scene was unbearable for anyone.Fortunately, Jennifer had only fainted from the grief and soon woke up.Nathan sat in her room, keeping her company."Where's my dad? I want to see him." Jennifer stumbled toward th

You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1196
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
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1194
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
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1193
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
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1191
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
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1189
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
