A trace of disappointment flashed in Jennifer's eyes as she watched the couples before her walking into the marriage license office. She sighed softly and said to Michael, "Mr. Smith, please take me home."

Only then did Michael relax. Little did anyone know, he had been sweating profusely. He was afraid that he might not be able to keep Maxwell's secret and that it could lead to a major family argument.

Michael dropped Jennifer off at the doorstep of the Lance residence and left.

Noticing her return, Martha immediately went to greet her.

Jennifer paused briefly and asked, "Martha, I thought you had the day off. Why didn't you leave?"

"Both you and Mr. Lance have been so good to me. How could I take advantage of your kindness?" Martha answered with a smile.

She added, "Besides, there's nothing going on back in my hometown, so I took the opportunity to tidy up the nursery and air it out."

A faint smile played on Jennifer's lips as she nodded. "Thank you for your hard work."

    At last, Jennifer got out of bed, put on her coat, and prepared to go to Lance Group to find Maxwell. Even if they did not get their marriage certificate, she felt more at ease just being by his side and watching him work.Jennifer could not help but feel a hint of self-deprecation. She realized she had become increasingly reliant on Maxwell. She could not bear to be apart from him for even a minute.With that, she hailed a taxi and headed to Lance Group.…While the higher-ups and the secretaries in the president's office knew Jennifer well, the receptionists rarely had the chance to meet her.Thus, the receptionist politely asked, "Miss, may I ask who you are here to see?""I'm looking for Maxwell. I'm his wife," Jennifer confidently introduced herself.The receptionist immediately responded with enthusiasm, "Oh, you're Mrs. Lance! But Mr. Lance isn't in today. Let me take you to the lounge where you can wait for him.""He didn't come to the office? Not even this morning?"

    Bridget's words pinpointed the exact question that Jennifer had been wrestling with. Even though she had no intention of reconnecting with her biological parents who had abandoned her, she was desperate to know why they had been so heartless.Bridget seemed to sense Jennifer's curiosity. So, she suggested, "It's too cold to talk out here. Let's get in the car. I promise I'll tell you everything you want to know."Seeing the smug look on her face, Jennifer could not shake the feeling that her past must be troubling. Why else would this woman be so pleased? Driven by a mix of curiosity and unease, she followed Bridget into the car. However, as soon as Jennifer was inside, a hand from behind covered her nose with a white cloth. Her vision blurred, and everything went dark as she lost consciousness.Jocelyn quickly hid the cloth, suppressing her anxiety as she told Bridget, "Ms. Walker said we can take her to Nimbus Lounge now. The person she found is already waiting there."A si

    So, Bridget had no intention of revealing Jennifer's true identity at all! She merely used it as a ruse to lure the latter into the car and knock her out.Jennifer was overwhelmed with regret, realizing how foolish she had been to believe Bridget's lies yet again. She had walked right into that woman's trap!"Piss off! Do you even know who I am?" Jennifer glared at Leo. Through gritted teeth, she declared, "I'm Maxwell Lance's wife! Find out who he is. If you lay a finger on me, he'll make sure you never get away with it!"Leo chuckled contemptuously and replied, "Do you think I'm scared of your threats? So what if your husband is Maxwell? Shout all you want, but no one will come to your rescue."The moment he finished speaking, he lunged at Jennifer. It was as if he were a famished wolf that could not wait to feast."Get off me! Go away!" Jennifer yelled. She used all her energy to kick and hit him, but her efforts were futile. Her strength was no match for a man's.Fortunatel

    As soon as Jennifer stepped out of the room, she bumped into a server walking past. Observing her flustered demeanor, he instinctively peered into the room. The scene inside made him shout, "Oh my goodness! There's been a murder!"In no time, the club's security guards sprang into action. They believed Jennifer was the murderer and restrained her."Let go of me! It's not what you think. This man tried to assault me!" Jennifer struggled and cried out, "It was self-defense!"Nimbus Lounge's manager hurried over. As he took in the mess, he recalled Rachel's instructions. But he had not expected Jennifer to knock out Leo. In a fit of rage, he roared, "You've got a lot of nerve to cause a scene here! If he dies, you're not walking out of here alive too!"Still fuming, he ordered the security guards to take Jennifer away and lock her up. With Rachel in labor, the manager could not get any concrete instructions. So, he did not know how to deal with her.Jennifer screamed with all her

    In the end, Rachel still couldn't get over Maxwell.Hugo scoffed and ordered the manager, "Release her!""What…" The manager looked at him in disbelief. After all, Hugo had never been known for his mercy. This was quite unusual!Even Jennifer couldn't believe it. Hugo looked like a gangster, yet he was actually letting her go.Seeing her still standing there, Hugo's tone grew harsher. "Why aren't you leaving?"Jennifer snapped back to reality and bolted.Hugo watched her retreating figure, lost in thought.The manager's eyes lit up and asked, "Mr. Shaw, do you fancy the girl? I… I can bring her here."Hugo immediately kicked him hard for his comment.The manager looked at Hugo, bewildered. "What did I do wrong, Mr. Shaw? Please tell me! I was just following Ms. Walker's orders."Hugo grabbed him by the collar and roared, "Get it straight! Who's your boss? Find out everything about Jennifer in three days! I want to know who her parents are! Investigate everything about the Yal

    Nathan helped Jennifer inside. "This is my student. She's had some trouble. Mom, please rest. I'll have a guest room prepared for her."Frida was worried. "It's freezing outside, and she's shivering. Let's make her some soup so she doesn't catch a cold."Nathan looked at her gratefully. "Thank you, Mom. I appreciate it."After Frida left, Nathan asked gently, "Jennifer, can you tell me what happened tonight? Were you in danger?"Jennifer just shook her head, unwilling to say anything.How could she tell Nathan, her teacher, that a thug almost assaulted her? If it wasn't for her quick reaction, she might have been taken advantage of by now!Nathan huffed angrily. "Fine, you don't have to say anything. But what about Maxwell? You're carrying his child. How can he let you wander the streets at night? Where is he?"The barrage of questions left Jennifer speechless. She didn't know where Maxwell was either. All she knew was that he had lied and wasn't at the office."Please, stop as

    Nathan's father was a professor at a top medical university abroad, who was recruited with a high salary, so he spent most of his time overseas. Although Frida handled most family matters, issues like marriage needed Nathan's father's approval.Nathan sighed. "It's too early to talk about this. I don't want to scare her or make our relationship tense. I just... can't bear to see her hurt or let down."Frida was filled with worry but didn't know how to stop her son from getting in too deep. After all, the family had always been open-minded with their children. As a result, Frida had always been tolerant of them.Her son not only had feelings for his student, but the student was pregnant."Nathan... You..." Frida began, but Nathan's phone suddenly rang.He answered the call. There was an emergency at the hospital.Nathan said, "Mom, there's an emergency at the hospital. We'll talk when I get back.""Okay. Be safe." Frida felt uneasy.Before leaving, Nathan begged, "Please, take c

    Jennifer left her phone and belongings at Nimbus Lounge. She wondered if Maxwell had gone home. Would he come looking for her if he found she wasn't there?Tears welled up in Jennifer's eyes. Why was Maxwell always absent when she needed him the most?Perhaps because of the fright she had experienced today and the soup she had just drunk, Jennifer soon fell asleep.…Jennifer was startled awake from a nightmare. She dreamed again of Leo's lecherous face and the strange owner of Nimbus Lounge. Why had he let her go so easily?Jennifer sat up abruptly, drenched in sweat.Nathan happened to enter the room and hurried over, his voice tinged with concern. "Jennifer, are you alright?"It took Jennifer a while to collect herself. She sighed and shook her head. "I'm fine."Nathan looked at her with sympathy. "Did you have a nightmare?""Yes." Jennifer suddenly came to her senses and grew embarrassed, "Mr. Lowe, I'm sorry for bothering you and your mother last night. I should be going

    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
