Michael sneered. "Mr. Lance has already left. Ms. Walker, I advise you to save your efforts! Mr. Lance and his wife have an unbreakable bond. What good is risking your life? Don't overestimate yourself!"Michael's words were like a sharp knife, piercing Rachel's heart and tearing apart all her facade and pride.How could she take it? How could she allow an assistant to trample all over her?Back when Maxwell was doting on her, Michael was always following her around, trying to please her. This should be her life yet Jennifer stole it from her.Rachel yelled at him, "Get out! I don't need you here! Out!"Michael snorted, cursing Rachel for being ungrateful and overstepping her boundaries. If it weren't for Maxwell's orders, he wouldn't want to be here watching over her! He would prefer to spend this time at home with his wife!With that, he went out and instructed the bodyguards at the door, "Keep watch here. I'm leaving. Report to me if anything happens!"After Michael entered t
Rachel looked at Hugo in fear, terrified that he might tighten his hold around her neck. Hugo was crazy and would do anything!She asked, "Since you fed Bridget and her mom to the fish, what about Jennifer? What happened to her?"Hugo narrowed his eyes dangerously and said through gritted teeth, "Of course, I let her go! Remember this, don't mess with Jennifer again, or I'll kill you!"Rachel's eyes widened in disbelief.What did Hugo say? He would kill her for Jennifer!Rachel dropped her facade and cried, "Are you crazy? I risked my life to give birth to your child, and you want to kill me for that bitch! Do you know how much work I did to trap Jennifer? But you ruined all my plans and made my efforts in vain!"A murderous look crossed Hugo's gaze. He wrapped his fingers around her neck and tightened them slightly, "I'll say it again, don't even think about messing with Jennifer again! Do you hear me?"Rachel gasped for air. It wasn't until she almost lost consciousness that H
That man must be plotting something!Just then, Martha knocked on the door. "Mrs. Lance, dinner is ready."Jennifer quickly asked, "Is Maxwell back?""Mr. Lance said he has a business dinner, and you should eat without waiting for him," Martha informed.Jennifer's gaze darkened at her words. She went to the dining table sadly and started eating absentmindedly. Her mind was filled with reminders that Rachel had given birth to Maxwell's child. Maybe the three of them were enjoying their time as a family right now.Jennifer felt like a fool.Maxwell had just arrived home when Jennifer was done showering. He was reeking of alcohol and looked tipsy. Jennifer realized she had misunderstood him. He really was out meeting a client that night."I'll run the water for you, you should take a bath first," Jennifer said nothing about Rachel, going to the bathroom to run the bath for him.But Maxwell suddenly embraced her from behind. His hands wrapped around her waist, and he bent down to b
Why? Why was Maxwell always treating her like a fool, deceiving her, and toying with her feelings? Why did he always pull her to the deep end before leaving her abruptly, letting her suffer alone?At the thought, Jennifer put on her coat and followed Maxwell out.Seeing her going out so late, Martha quickly said, "Where are you going, Mrs. Lance? It's already 9:00 pm."Jennifer hummed. "I have something to attend to."Martha said worriedly, "Mr. Lance just left and took the driver. Are you planning to drive yourself?""It's fine, I'll drive myself." Before Martha could say anything, Jennifer hurried into the garage.…Thus, Jennifer followed Maxwell's car from a distance, arriving at a private hospital.Jennifer gripped the steering wheel tightly, waiting for Maxwell to go inside before she got out of the car and followed him in.Rachel's hospital room was the most expensive VIP room here. It was spacious for a hospital room, and several nurses took turns taking care of her.
"Let me explain, Jennifer." Maxwell panicked. He stepped forward and grabbed Jennifer's hand. "It was an emergency. Rachel almost died."Jennifer broke free from him, tears glistening in her eyes. "It's always the same excuse! What about me? How long were you planning to lie to me?"Maxwell held her hand again. "Let's talk at home. Believe me. I didn't mean to lie."Rachel was delighted with how things turned out. This was great! Why should Jennifer live a good life while she can't? She wouldn't let Jennifer get what she couldn't have.So, Rachel put on an act of smoothing things over. "You misunderstood, Ms. Yale. Maxwell was telling the truth."Just as she reached out to Jennifer, the latter dodged her in disgust. "Don't touch me! You're repulsive!""Ouch!" Rachel screamed as she fell to the ground. She immediately shielded her belly. "It hurts…"Maxwell bent down to help her up nervously. "Are you okay?""I think the wound reopened…" Rachel sat on the ground and leaned again
In the end, Jennifer called Nathan.Nathan was shocked to receive her call. After hearing her story, he nervously instructed, "Just stay where you are and send me your location. I'll come to you."…Back at Rachel's hospital room, the doctor had done a checkup and confirmed her wounds had reopened.Maxwell stared at the blood-stained gauze and mumbled, "I apologize on behalf of Jennifer. She didn't mean it."Rachel acted like a victim. "It's okay. This wasn't the first time. I'm used to it."Her words only added to Maxwell's guilt. After all, Jennifer had always been kind and gentle to those around her. She was only defensive and violent toward Rachel.After a moment of silence, Maxwell finally made up his mind. "This is the last time we will meet, Rachel. Take it as a goodbye. Get well soon. Once you do, I'll have Michael arrange a gateway for you and your son. Maybe I really am a curse to you. I'm sorry."Rachel's gaze dimmed but she didn't stop him. "Do you want to see our b
Jennifer said nervously, "Mr. Lowe, I... I've always regarded you as a teacher. I respect you a lot."Nathan smiled. "It doesn't affect your respect for me even if you see me as something else, right?"Jennifer was rendered speechless by his words.Nathan looked at her seriously. "Jennifer, I believe people could have more than one type of relationship, don't you agree?"Jennifer feigned ignorance and smiled. "You're right, Mr. Lowe."Nathan knew Jennifer didn't want to overstep their boundaries. So, he didn't clarify, not only to avoid scaring her but also because it felt like taking advantage of her vulnerability at this time.After all, he had just brought Jennifer back from Glory Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital. This was proof enough that Jennifer had met Rachel and Maxwell. Otherwise, she wouldn't have gotten so emotional and upset the baby.He gently said to Jennifer, "You don't have to mind what I said earlier. The doctor said you need to rest well. Just sleep. I'll st
Just then, Jennifer suddenly walked up to them and pushed Maxwell away forcefully.Maxwell was stunned by the hatred in Jennifer's eyes.Nathan was also surprised and asked with concern, "Why did you come out? And without a coat?""I was worried..." Jennifer frowned at him, all her helplessness reflected in her silence.Nathan said, "Jennifer, go inside. This is a matter between men. Wait for me inside, I'll be back soon."Maxwell's anger flared at the sight. He watched helplessly as Jennifer showed concern for another man and drifted further away from him.Maxwell rushed over and grabbed her hand. "Come home with me."Seeing that Maxwell wanted to use force, Nathan immediately stopped him. "Didn't you hear what Jennifer just said? She already said she doesn't want to go back with you!"Maxwell's gaze bore into Jennifer. "I want to hear it from you!"Jennifer's gaze was filled with pain as she trembled. "Yes, Maxwell, I don't want to go back to you anymore. Let's break up! Ple
