You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 582
"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

Jennifer was paralyzed with fear. Her eyes widened in horror as she braced for the worst. In a flash, a tall figure shielded her. Maxwell was overwhelmed by a sharp pain, and blood immediately gushed from his abdomen. This unexpected turn of events left everyone stunned.Realizing he had attacked the wrong person, the man grew flustered. In the next moment, several security guards rushed forward and restrained him.Maxwell clutched his wound as blood seeped through his fingers. He knelt on one knee in agony, bent over and struggling to breathe. The scene felt like a barrage of swords piercing straight into Jennifer's heart. At that moment, it was as if her heart was being crushed by an invisible hand, causing her intense pain. Her mind went blank as she dropped to her knees. She supported Maxwell from behind and yelled frantically at the crowd, "Quick! Someone get a doctor from the emergency department now!"As Maxwell leaned against her, he saw tears well up in Jennifer's col

Jennifer's gaze fell on Maxwell's handsome face. She guessed he had bought the diamond for his wife. He seemed like the type who cared about his family.Jennifer carefully stored the diamond, making sure not to lose it. She planned to return it to Maxwell once he woke up.…The next morning, Maxwell finally regained consciousness. The sharp pain from his wound resurfaced as the anesthesia wore off. When Jennifer noticed he was awake, the worry on her face gave way to a touch of relief. "You're finally awake," she remarked.Right then, Maxwell's memories gradually returned. His gaze softened as he looked at the woman before him. His pale lips parted slightly, and he whispered, "Jennifer."Jennifer looked at him, bewildered. Ever since he was put under anesthesia the night before, he had been murmuring her name in his unconscious state. Now, he was saying it again. But almost no one called her "Jennifer", and hardly anyone knew her by that name. To everyone else, she was Susan

Besides, if it weren't for Maxwell's timely arrival, Caleb and Cassidy would have ended up as orphans. They never had a father, and if they lost their mother too… Jennifer couldn't bear to think further.She lowered her head, guilt weighing her, and replied, "You're right. What can I do to make it up to you?"Jennifer knew she would always be burdened by guilt if she didn't find a way to compensate him. However, Maxwell was an influential and wealthy man. He seemed to have everything he needed. So, what could she possibly offer him? Maxwell quickly took the opportunity to say, "Why don't you look after me until I'm healed and discharged?"Jennifer was caught off guard by his request. With a look of shock, she stared at him in disbelief.Maxwell asked, "What's wrong? Is my request too difficult for you? Or do you find it unreasonable?"Jennifer hesitated. It didn't seem overly demanding. At least, he wasn't asking for anything outrageous or seeking financial compensation. Yet,

Jennifer placed the box beside his pillow and said, "This is valuable. With so many people around in the hospital, be careful not to lose it." "Given my current state, I have no time to worry about these material things. Why don't you keep it for me?" Maxwell suggested while gazing intently at her. Jennifer didn't think much of it. She simply nodded and agreed, "Alright, I'll give it to your wife once she arrives, or I'll return it to you when you're discharged.""There's no need for that. I think this color suits you better than it would her."Maxwell's eyes were filled with tenderness as he spoke. However, Jennifer chose to ignore it. Instead, she chuckled and replied, "This diamond is clearly worth a fortune. If I were to accept it, it would be hard to explain." In the middle of their conversation, someone knocked on the door. Two uniformed police officers appeared before them. "Are you Mr. Maxwell Lance and Madam Susan?""Yes, I'm Susan." Jennifer approached the police

A wave of panic hit Rachel, and she snapped, "Then think of something else! We can't afford to run out of Jasper's medicine!"Shaun looked at her, clearly puzzled. "Ms. Walker, why not just take Mr. Jasper to see Dr. Susan? She's a doctor, after all, and her job is to treat patients. She wouldn't refuse to help Mr. Jasper."We've already ended a life doing this. Things will get out of hand if we keep going. They'll start to suspect something!"Shaun had spent many years with Hugo in the underworld. Although he had gotten his hands dirty more times than he could count, he and Hugo weren't without principles. At the very least, they weren't the kind who crossed every line.However, Jasper was Hugo's only son. So, Shaun gave in to Rachel's persuasion to help treat Jasper's illness. Yet, he felt that he had made a grave mistake. Thus, Shaun tried to talk some sense into Rachel. "Ms. Walker, I know you want to cure Mr. Jasper, but stealing the medicine isn't the answer. Every child is

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

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
