As Maxwell revisited the memories, he could feel a wild beast raging furiously within him."Mmm…"Jennifer's eyes widened in shock. Suddenly, she began to struggle fiercely. But in the blink of an eye, Maxwell had already restrained her arms and pinned them behind her.He pressed his towering figure against her, forcing her against the elevator door as he kissed her with a desperate passion. He even bit her lips with a wild intensity.Maxwell was consumed by a burning hatred. Why was Jennifer so cruel as to abort their child?For five years, the thought had gnawed at him, making him wish he could find her and make her regret her actions. However, when Jennifer actually appeared before Maxwell, he realized he could not bring himself to harm her. Every voice within him admitted that he missed her. The way she looked at him with the cold detachment of a stranger made him want to envelop her in his embrace.Jennifer did not stop struggling, but her efforts were futile against Max
Nathan closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He could not help but feel that the universe was playing a cruel joke on them.Why? After five long years, why did Jennifer have to run into them again?"Didn't you mention that someone had been to our lab not long ago, investigating Jennifer's information?" Nathan asked in a deep voice.The private investigator nodded. "Yes, Maxwell's wife probably hired someone to do it. Now that Maxwell has found Susan, he's probably started his investigation. But this time, we're well prepared. We won't let him find out anything we don't want him to."Nathan heaved a sigh of relief. "Remember, Maxwell mustn't discover the existence of the two children. Assign a few people to be in the lab for a few days and provide them with false information."As for Rachel, he believed she would not be foolish enough to tell Maxwell even if she found out that Jennifer had given birth overseas.With everything in place, Nathan's racing heart finally began to slo
Jennifer had become a completely different person after losing her memory. It was as if she did not even know who she was anymore.Maxwell continued patiently, "You've misunderstood my intentions. All I want is to speak privately with you, Dr. Susan.""There's no need for further discussion. I've already told you I won't save him," Jennifer answered with a cold expression. She added, "Mr. Lance, instead of trying to intimidate or bribe me, you should focus on the problems between you and your wife. It seems that money can't resolve everything, can it?""So, what is it that you want?" Maxwell asked with a frown. "Well, just do as I said. If you have money, use it for a good cause and prove your sincerity." Then, Jennifer smirked. "Also, bring your wife over and make sure she apologizes to me until I'm satisfied!"Maxwell observed the woman before him. He could not shake the feeling that she was merely a shell of the Jennifer he once knew. Now, she was nothing more than a troub
"Yes, I was genuinely afraid you might meet her!" Rachel wept uncontrollably, her voice choked with emotions. "We fought so hard to be together. With Jasper, our life is perfect and filled with happiness."If Susan is actually Jennifer, what will become of my poor Jasper? He's so young, yet he's suffering from a severe illness. Must he also lose his father on top of everything else?"Rachel's tearful pleas struck a chord with Maxwell. After all, they had a son together. But what about Jennifer? She had aborted their child and left him behind. Even if she returned now, what difference would it make? Could he really choose her over his son?Besides, it was Rachel who had been by his side for the past five years. "Maxwell, you've seen everything I've done for you, for Jasper, and for this family." Rachel's eyes glistened with tears, her voice trembling as she continued, "I'm a woman too. I can't just step aside and let the father of my child be with someone else. "But now that
At that moment, the secretary knocked on the door and reported, "Mr. Lance, your wife and son are here."Maxwell was momentarily stunned. But upon learning that Jasper had arrived, he went to greet them personally. He hadn't anticipated Rachel would bring Jasper with her today. Moreover, Jasper looked noticeably healthier than he had before."Dad." Jasper lifted his head and looked at Maxwell with wide, innocent eyes. "Can we go to the movies tonight? And I'd really like some fried chicken and fries."Maxwell's expression grew serious as he asked, "Is that a good idea? Jasper, the doctor said you shouldn't eat junk food like that. He also said that you should rest more and limit your activities." After all, Jasper had been born prematurely and had a heart condition, which meant even a few steps could leave him breathless.Then, Maxwell cast a disapproving look at Rachel. "Why did you bring him out? Aren't you worried about the air quality? He could get sick again."Given Jaspe
"Of course," Clement replied with a meaningful smile. "Rest assured, Mrs. Lance, our partnership is rock solid. I'll break down the components of Susan's drug as soon as possible, so you won't have to go through the hassle of getting it yourself."Though he appeared cooperative, his real intention was to get his hands on the drug's formula and release it to the market before Susan. That way, he could reap huge profits.Clement had spent two decades in the field of cardiac surgery, after all. But now, Susan, a greenhorn, had developed a groundbreaking drug and was quickly becoming the industry's rising star. He swore he wouldn't let that happen. He wasn't about to be overshadowed by a newcomer like her. And so, Rachel led Clement to meet Maxwell.To Maxwell's surprise, Clement spoke Chulese quite well. While the latter had a bit of an accent, he had no trouble holding a normal conversation. Clement smiled as he explained, "I spent three years studying in Chueles a long time ago
Since Jasper's health had begun to improve, Rachel had him discharged from the hospital and brought him home. Clement, his personal physician, visited daily to monitor his condition and provide treatment. But of course, the medication administered had been taken from Jennifer. As a result, Jasper's condition continued to improve day by day.Rachel, on the other hand, was in great spirits and often participated in gatherings with other women from high society. Even though she and Maxwell hadn't had a wedding ceremony, she had given birth to his child and had been living in Lance Manor for a long time. Thus, everyone recognized her as Mrs. Lance.As the most affluent family in the elite circle, Rachel's influence grew increasingly significant.That day, at a tea party with the other wealthy ladies, one of them commented with admiration, "Mrs. Lance, you're truly fortunate. Mr. Lance makes a lot of money and treats you so well. Have you received the ten-carat blue diamond yet?""B
"Hello," Maxwell answered in a low voice. Rachel's gentle voice came through from the other end. "Maxwell, what time will you be back tonight? Jasper has learned to bake today and wants to make a cake just for you."Maxwell frowned slightly and remained silent for a moment. In the end, he couldn't bring himself to turn down his son's thoughtful gesture. "I'll be home later. You two should eat without me." Rachel didn't say anything more. She simply hummed in acknowledgment and hung up. Maxwell tossed his phone aside and stared out of the car window at the towering hospital building, where the person who occupied his thoughts was.The blue velvet box had been in his hand for what seemed like an eternity. As he stared at the blue diamond, he wondered how to give it to her.Today was their wedding anniversary. Although Jennifer had forgotten about it, Maxwell hadn't. Every year, he remembered. Maxwell believed the exquisite diamond would complement her current elegance. With
