Didn't Maxwell and Jennifer get a divorce? How could Jennifer be pregnant? Nathan's mind raced with questions. His usually calm self was now in a mess.Maxwell anticipated Nathan's reaction and mocked, "Are you still listening, Dr. Lowe?"Nathan's expression darkened. "Where are you? I'll head over now. Didn't you want to talk? Let's talk."Maxwell snickered sarcastically. "Didn't you say you were busy? What's with the change of heart?"Even so, Maxwell still agreed to meet up with Nathan. There were some words better spoken physically, after all.…Half an hour later, Nathan arrived at Haven City's bridge as promised. Maxwell was not far behind.They both stood by the bridge, catching attention from onlookers. But the air around them was tense, stirring everyone away.Maxwell sneered and started, "You're young, Dr. Lowe. I heard you have quite a few pursuers. So, why are you going after a married woman?"Nathan was furious. "She isn't your wife anymore! The law says so too.
Jennifer didn't feel the joy of being picked up by Maxwell. Instead, she felt exhausted from living under constant surveillance. After getting into the car, she was startled to see the bruises on Maxwell's cheeks.She quickly asked, "What happened to your face?""Nothing, I just got into a fight," Maxwell said nonchalantly.Jennifer looked at him in disbelief. "Why are you getting into fights at your age?"Besides, with Maxwell's status, who would dare fight him? And even if there was a fight, why would he get involved personally?Noticing her confusion, Maxwell decided not to hide the truth. "I fought with Nathan."Jennifer's eyes widened in shock. "You... What did you say?"She was in disbelief. "You fought with Dr. Lowe? He… He did this to you?"She couldn't believe that the usually gentle and elegant Nathan would resort to violence.Maxwell sneered and warned, "Jennifer, you better be worrying about me and not Nathan."Jennifer fumed. "Why should I worry about you? Dr. Lo
Maxwell's frown deepened. How could he tell Jennifer that he wasn't going to accompany Rachel? Besides, he truly had no desire to see Rachel now.He suddenly noticed Jennifer's mocking gaze fixed on him. That look, full of contempt and disdain, pierced Maxwell's heart.He abruptly grabbed the phone. "Wait for me. I'm coming over now."After hanging up, he tossed the phone aside. "Are you satisfied now?"Jennifer's gaze darkened and she didn't feel anything. After all, she had been disappointed too many times and was used to Maxwell leaving her for Rachel. Jennifer said coldly, "Go to her. I can go home by myself."Maxwell ignored her and drove home. On the way, he calmed down and said quietly, "I'm going to see Rachel to settle things and give her some compensation. After today, I won't see her again. I promise."Jennifer was taken aback and looked at him in surprise. What did he mean by that? She couldn't help but ask, "You said Rachel was carrying your child and that you would
Rachel froze at Maxwell's words. She asked in disbelief, "What do you mean… We won't meet again? Our child is about to be born. As their father, don't you want to witness their birth and be there as they grow up?"But Maxwell's next words crushed her completely. "Jennifer is also pregnant. The child she is carrying is the only Lance family heir my grandfather recognized and accepted."Rachel couldn't believe her ears. "What… What did you just say?"How could this be possible? They had already divorced. How could Jennifer be pregnant?Rachel trembled. "You two are divorced. You can't possibly know who she interacts with during her working hours. How can you be sure that this child is yours? She didn't conceive during the time you were married, so how could she be pregnant now that you're divorced?""Rachel!" Maxwell sternly reprimanded her. "Watch your words. I will not allow you to slander her. I know Jennifer well enough to be certain that the child is mine."Rachel felt her wor
Even after crying her eyes out, Rachel still couldn't change Maxwell's mind. She never thought Maxwell had planned her future for her. Yet he was also not part of it. He had removed himself completely from her life, not wanting to have anything to do with her."I'm leaving. Take care." With that, Maxwell left Rachel's home.Rachel immediately tried to chase after him, but her condition made it difficult, and she couldn't catch up. In her desperation, she shouted toward the closed elevator door, "Maxwell, come back!"Unfortunately, her only response was the deafening silence. Rachel trembled with anger, gritting her teeth as she muttered, "Jennifer, you bitch! You always want what I want! You want to take everything from me! I will never let you off!"…Maxwell returned to the quiet villa.Martha heard the noise and greeted him. "Mr. Lance, have you had dinner? Shall I make you supper?""I'm not hungry." Maxwell glanced upstairs. "How was her appetite tonight?"Martha sighed and
Jennifer trembled in Maxwell's embrace and choked out, "My baby has a home now. I was so scared, thinking my baby would be without a father. I was prepared to be a single mom."Maxwell felt both heartache and anger. He cupped her face, making her look into his eyes, and said seriously, "You should have told me about this when you found out, instead of keeping it all to yourself. You'll only hurt yourself that way, understand?"Jennifer complained sadly, "You didn't believe me at first. You thought I reported to Grandpa and hurt Rachel's baby. What if I had told you back then and you didn't accept my child?"Regret and guilt washed over Maxwell. He held Jennifer close and gently patted her back. "Alright, it's all my fault. Let's not bring up the past, okay? From now on, Rachel will be out of the picture. Our lives will only consist of us and our baby."Jennifer smiled as she realized her love for him hadn't faded at all. Previously, due to Rachel, she had never dared to take this s
The household staff asked in confusion, "Why would you think Mr. Zion's death is related to Ms. Jennifer? After all, he treated her so well while he was alive. She had no reason to harm him, right?"Agnes sneered, "I have no evidence, but I firmly believe that illegitimate child caused Zion's death! Even if that has nothing to do with her, what about Bridget and Jocelyn? "Bridget may be a bit headstrong, but she's still the biological child of our family. She's far more honorable than Jennifer, that troublemaker. "Yet, in the end, Jennifer managed to manipulate Zion and got Bridget kicked out!"At that point, Agnes wept uncontrollably. "I'm truly unfortunate! At my age, I've lost my son, and my granddaughter is missing. If only Bridget were here, it would at least bring me some comfort."Right then, a household staff's ecstatic voice echoed from downstairs."Ms. Bridget? Mrs. Yale? You're back!"Soon after, Bridget's voice rang out. "Where's my grandmother? And my dad?"Agnes
"My dear Bridget, you're still the most thoughtful one," said Agnes.She was now filled with joy. Although her son had passed away, her granddaughter had returned. It somehow felt like a blessing in disguise. That night, the Yale residence shone brightly. Agnes held onto Jocelyn and Bridget, inquiring about how they had been faring all this time. She felt sorry for their struggles but also resented Jennifer for tearing the Yale family apart.…Meanwhile, Jennifer was sleeping soundly in Maxwell's arms. In her dreams, she saw her parents and Robert once more, telling them she was now happy.She could finally provide a home for her baby and no longer needed to suppress her feelings. At last, she could be with the person she loved, forever.…The next day, Jennifer went to work at the hospital as usual. However, Nathan was nowhere to be seen in the department. Rumor had it he had taken a few days off.Jennifer thought it might be because of the altercation with Maxwell the day
