You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 60
Maxwell's gaze emanated a chilling coldness, but there was a faint smile on his face. This was his most common expression when he was angry.He parted his thin lips and said, "I heard about a bet earlier. What was it again?"Finley didn't notice the coldness in Maxwell's eyes. Smiling, he explained, "If our team wins, Jennifer will be my girlfriend."Maxwell's smile deepened. He nodded. "How about this? I'll join the other team. If you win, I'll convince my sister to try dating you."Finley was stunned. He asked in disbelief, "You?"Although Maxwell looked young, his demeanor and age were clearly not on the same level as theirs.To put it bluntly, he was considered old. Could he handle a match against Finley?Finley felt conflicted. If Maxwell lost, would Jennifer think he was deliberately bullying her brother?But Maxwell had already rolled up his shirt sleeves, saying, "Let's get started."Finley seemed to be confident about winning. He said to Maxwell, "Sir, are you serious

Lifting his head sharply, Finley glared at Maxwell with hatred, as if he wanted to bore a hole through him.At this moment, the girls on the court were practically swooning over Maxwell.Many of them started flocking around Jennifer, asking, "Jennifer, is your brother still single?""Does he have a girlfriend? Is he married?""What does your brother do? He plays basketball so well!"Surrounded by these people, Jennifer was unsure of how to respond.Quincy suddenly realized that Jennifer was actually quite soft-hearted despite her sharp tongue. Why did she treat Jennifer like an enemy before?In the end, Quincy couldn't bear to see Jennifer being attacked by those people.She stepped forward and spoke up for Jennifer. "Enough! Jennifer's brother already has a girlfriend. You guys don't stand a chance. Now, leave us alone!"Hearing that, all the girls became dejected and walked away.Since Jennifer's brother already had a girlfriend, all their fantasies were shattered.Only af

Though Maxwell's attitude was cold, Rachel showed no embarrassment.She even said, "By the way, I misunderstood Ms. Yale last time and caused her a lot of trouble. I said we would buy her dinner. How about tonight?"At this point, many girls around them began to fantasize about the romantic story between the hot and wealthy president and the gentle dancer.Jennifer's eyes were filled with an overwhelming sense of hurt and disappointment.It turned out that everything Maxwell had just done was to impress Rachel, not her. Her once-excited heart cooled down instantly.Of course, Maxwell wouldn't let his wife sit with his lover for dinner. He looked at Jennifer and asked knowingly, "Do you want to have dinner together?"Jennifer smiled sarcastically and replied, "I have plans. I won't bother you."She silently turned away, wanting to leave with dignity and not embarrass herself in front of them.As she passed by the crowd, she heard many people calling Rachel and Maxwell a perfect

After Rachel left, Maxwell didn't notice the pillbox she left behind.He slammed the steering wheel hard, feeling regretful and guilty.He should have gone after Rachel and brought her back. After all, they loved each other, and she had been with him since their university days.What had she done that she needed to bear his negative emotions?But for some reason, Maxwell took out his phone and instinctively dialed Jennifer's number.…In the grill house, Jennifer saw his call. She decided to ignore it, and she switched off her phone.She continued to eat the spicy beef brisket on her plate. Her nose and eyes turned red from the spice.Quincy couldn't help but ask, "Was that him? Jennifer, what's going on? I also felt that the man didn't seem like your brother at all. But then, why did a woman suddenly show up?"Jennifer smiled bitterly and said, "If I tell you my secrets, will you betray me?"Quincy was slightly surprised and said solemnly, "If you're willing to tell me your

When their meal was coming to an end, Jennifer stood up to go and pay the bill."Stop," Quincy interjected, blocking her path. "We agreed. I'm treating you this time."Jennifer pushed Quincy back into her seat. "When you become a professor in the future, I'll definitely have you treat me to something expensive."And with that, she went to the front desk to settle the bill.While Quincy waited for her return, Maxwell appeared.Seeing the man standing before her with a stern expression, Quincy was terrified. She stuttered, "M-Ma… Are you looking for Jennifer?"When Maxwell saw her expression, he knew that Jennifer must have told her everything between them. He looked at the table set for two and asked coldly, "Where's Jennifer?"Quincy nervously replied, "She went to pay the bill."Maxwell spoke coldly, warning her word by word. "No matter what Jennifer told you, you'd better keep your mouth shut. Otherwise, it won't be as simple as kicking you out of the laboratory."Suddenly,

As Jennifer said that, she ordered another plate of spicy lamb chops. People would eat a lot when they were angry.She thought Maxwell would be driven away out of anger.But Jennifer didn't expect that he, with his slight obsession with cleanliness, would pick up a fork."What are you doing?" Jennifer asked as she saw him take a piece of spicy lamb. "You're allergic to chili, don't you know that?"Maxwell calmly looked at her and said, "Either you come with me, or I eat spicy food with you. Someone has to compromise in a relationship, right?"Jennifer said angrily, "Do as you please. Don't think you can threaten me with this.""I'm not threatening you." After saying that, Maxwell ate the piece of lamb chop. Feeling the spiciness, he quickly took a sip of the soda from Jennifer's cup.Jennifer was stunned.She didn't expect that he would really eat something here and even drink the soda she had drunk.Smiling, Maxwell looked at her. "I didn't expect the food in this ordinary pl

It would be better if Maxwell hadn't said anything. After he said those words, Jennifer felt even more suffocated.She couldn't even imagine the pain of having this man, whom she had secretly loved for so many years, leave her life. That heart-wrenching pain and heartbreak were things she didn't want to experience.Jennifer resisted the urge to cry and said, "I don't need it. I can find someone better on my own. You're not my dad. You don't have the right to interfere with my marriage."Maxwell's expression darkened as well.She was right. He would just be her ex-husband after their divorce. Nothing else.However, just thinking about the possibility of another man being with Jennifer in the future made him feel uncontrollably suffocated.He tightened his grip on the steering wheel and suddenly asked, "Do you regret marrying me? If you hadn't married me, you'd be like those girls on campus, enjoying a carefree love."Jennifer didn't expect this proud man to say such words. Her he

Rachel pretended to look surprised as she quickly left his embrace. "How... No, no, you got it wrong. That's not mine. Max, you should go back. I'm really fine. Go back now."The more she acted like this, the more Maxwell felt that she was truly ill.The way she held the fruit knife and gestured on her wrist just now was exactly like the behavior of someone with depression.Maxwell held her shoulders with both hands and stared into her eyes. "Tell me. When did you start getting sick?"Thinking about how cold he had been to her these past few days when she was sick, Maxwell felt extremely regretful.Under his questioning, Rachel finally spoke in a choked-up voice. "It was probably that night after I slept with you. You know I'm quite a traditional woman. I care a lot about my virginity."I always thought that after being together for so long, you would give me an answer. But now, I dare not hope anymore. I feel like you've changed. You probably don't love me anymore."At this poi

The station chief reviewed the surveillance footage and explained to Simon personally, "His last known location was at the dormitory building of Haven University. He went inside, but unfortunately, there were no cameras in the restrooms."We believed he changed his clothes and shoes before leaving. Our initial assessment is that he's likely a student at the university. But for now, the trail's gone cold. I'd say he's good at avoiding being tracked. At this point, we don't have enough evidence to bring him in."Simon nodded in response. Now, he was nearly certain of the stalker's identity. "Alright, I think I know who it is. Thank you for your hard work."The station chief hurriedly replied, "Oh, Mr. Moore, no need to thank us! We'll be needing your expertise down the line. Helping each other is what we do."…At the studio, Laura sat in her office, texting Simon to check if there were any updates on the stalker.However, all he replied was, "They're still investigating."The cor

"Mr. Moore…" Laura let out a sigh. After a moment's hesitation, she couldn't hold back any longer. "I really feel for the victim in the Brooks Group's workplace fatality case. Does the Brooks family even care about that small amount of money? One million dollars is just pocket change to them, but to another family, it's everything."Simon showed no emotion as he replied, "Mind your own business."Laura pouted but quickly relented. "So, do you have time tomorrow? My boss said we need to follow up on the progress of the Brooks Group case as soon as possible. Can you—"Before she could finish her sentence, Simon suddenly shut his laptop, set it aside, and leaned toward her.He fixed his gaze on the terrified Laura. His handsome face came dangerously close, stopping just inches from hers. Then, he said, "Well, as long as you behave and stop testing my patience."While unbuttoning her pajama top, he added, "Otherwise, with everything I've got going on, why should I take time to help

Simon pressed Laura against the wall and kissed her.Yet, this was what hurt her the most. He had never cared whether she wanted it or not. In fact, there were so many unresolved issues between them. However, Simon seemed utterly indifferent and showed no intention of addressing them. He kissed Laura for a while. Just when she thought he might take things to the next level, he abruptly stopped.Simon's breathing was unsteady, his voice low and hoarse as he said, "Go take a shower. I've got work to do and can't keep messing with you."It was only then Laura realized he had drawn her in. Now that he had stopped, her cheeks still burned, and she couldn't shake the lingering pull of desire he'd stirred.Simon seemed to notice her unease. He then asked with a smirk, "Or would you rather continue?"Laura's heart skipped a beat. She quickly pushed him away and lowered her head. "I'll go shower."As he stared at her retreating figure, the lust in Simon's gaze gradually faded. In the

In the next moment, Simon's lips curled into a smile. "It was Maxwell who called me and asked me to come help you with this. Don't forget, Jennifer isn't just your best friend. She's also Maxwell's wife and the mother of Caleb and Cassidy."Did you even check if Maxwell was okay with you staying at their place? Not everyone is as comfortable with you as Jennifer is."Laura wanted nothing more than to shut him up. However, she couldn't deny that he had a point. Apart from Harry, Jennifer was the only one who had ever treated Laura like family. While Jennifer might never push her away, that didn't mean everyone else would be as kind. That house belonged to Jennifer, but it was Maxwell's too.At that moment, Laura felt completely alone and helpless. …Just like that, she quickly packed a few essentials and followed Simon back to his place in the dead of night.He then pointed to a small wardrobe and lightly instructed, "You can leave your clothes here for now."After opening it,

Laura cried in Simon's arms for what felt like an eternity before finally lifting her head. Her voice carried a hint of grievance as she said, "Why wouldn't you believe me? I told you someone was following me, but you still didn't trust me."Simon gently wiped her tears away. "I'm sorry. That's on me."But Laura shoved him aside, her tone defiant. "Spare me the fake concern. I've reported it to the police, so it doesn't matter whether you show up or not."A flicker of amusement passed through Simon's dark eyes as he studied her. "Really?""Of course!" Laura lifted her chin, as if she weren't afraid of anything. "I'm trained in martial arts and can protect myself. Besides, the police are involved. Even without you, I'm not scared."Simon couldn't help but chuckle. Suddenly, his arm snaked around her waist, pulling her close again. "Who was trembling in fear earlier? The same person who stayed holed up in the bedroom all night because she was too afraid to come out?" he teased in

Only then did Maxwell understand the reason behind Jennifer's anxiety. He grabbed her arm and said, "Why does it have to be you? What about Simon? Didn't you say they had made up? "This kind of damsel-in-distress situation should be his job. It feels like we're overstepping if we take matters into our own hands, don't you think?""What's wrong with that? Laura is my best friend! If I don't help her now, who will?" Jennifer shot Maxwell an irritated look before adding, "This is the perfect chance to show Laura that she can't rely on Simon. Otherwise, she'll just fall deeper for him. Well, unless he's willing to marry her. Do you think he will?"Maxwell softened his tone and replied, "Let's set aside the question of whether he will marry her or not. Think about it. If Laura stays with us, she'll have to watch us all lovey-dovey, living our happy family life. How do you think that will make her feel?"I know she's your best friend, but this is just how humans are. We can't help but

Laura anxiously waited as the police retrieved the surveillance footage. But in the end, all they told her was that the alley she had mentioned was in an area slated for demolition. Hence, no cameras had been installed there. When she suggested they start investigating from the street where her office was located, the officer replied, "Miss, if we follow your suggestion, it would require a massive undertaking."We have other cases to handle as well. Please, go home and wait. If we find anything, we'll notify you immediately, okay?"Laura's urgency stemmed from how terrified she felt. After all, it was the first time she had been followed. Still, she didn't want to make things difficult for anyone. Since the police officers had made their stance clear, she decided not to press further and relented. Before leaving, she couldn't help but plead, "Please, do your best to look into this as soon as possible. Contact me immediately if there's any news."With that, she left the station,

Laura's heart pounded violently in her chest. She immediately pulled out her phone, instinctively thinking of calling Simon. However, she remembered they weren't on speaking terms, so she dialed Jennifer's number instead. A nurse answered the phone. "Hello, Dr. Susan is currently in surgery. Please call back in two hours."Left with no choice, Laura reluctantly called Simon. His deep voice came through almost immediately. "Hello, what is it?"Simon's voice, though pleasant, held an icy undertone. Laura knew he was still angry. But right now, someone was following her. She couldn't afford to care about anything else—not even her pride.She gripped the phone tightly, her voice trembling as she said, "S-Someone's following me. Can you come pick me up?""What?" Simon's response was indifferent. Then, he mockingly added, "Aren't you a martial arts expert? A good fighter, right? What's there to fear from a thief?"After all, Britney hadn't been able to secure her interview with hi

Simon finally looked up from his computer screen and gave Alex a stern look. "Do you not understand what I said, or do you have nothing better to do? Should I assign you more tasks?""No… No need for that! I'll leave now." After being scolded, Alex left the office dejectedly. Britney was still waiting downstairs. Seeing him come out, she rushed up eagerly. "So? How did it go?"Alex scratched his head and forced a smile. "Mr. Moore said… Ms. Scott needs to come in person." Britney sighed, disappointment written all over her face. "I knew it!" Alex was about to console her when she suddenly broke into a bright smile. "Still, coming here today wasn't a total waste. At least I ran into my high school classmate and got your number!"She winked at him playfully and added, "We're both from out of town. So, we've got to look out for each other!"Alex was flustered and nodded. "Of course!""Well, I'll get going then. Let's keep in touch!" Britney shrugged off the rejection. Althou
