You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 630
Maxwell had already finished his shower in the other bathroom, but Jennifer still hadn't come out. He thought she was avoiding him.Jennifer bit her lip and finally said, "Well... Could you... Could you bring me my pajamas?"Realization dawned on Maxwell. A small smile played on his lips as he asked where she kept her pajamas. After she told him, he quickly brought them to her.Jennifer cautiously cracked the door open, just enough to extend her hand. "Give them to me."But Maxwell, mischievous as ever, didn't hand over the clothes. Instead, he pushed the door open."Maxwell! Give me my clothes now!" Jennifer yelled in frustration, tugging at the corner of her pajamas. "If you don't, get out of my house!"Sensing her anger, Maxwell immediately let go, intending to hand the clothes to her. Unfortunately, because Jennifer had been pulling hard, she lost her balance and fell backward when Maxwell released the pajamas.She screamed, bracing herself for a hard landing, expecting to

The following morning, the sound of a phone ringing woke Jennifer. She barely roused from her sleep as she answered the call groggily, "Hello…"The sound of Jennifer's sleepy "Hello" was enough to leave Rachel stunned on the other end. "Hello… Why aren't you talking?" Jennifer, still half-asleep, mumbled and tossed the phone aside. Meanwhile, Rachel listened to the beeping sound of the disconnected call, unable to believe what she had just heard. Why? Why did Jennifer answer Maxwell's phone? Did they actually spend the night together?The thought almost made Rachel crush her phone in fury. Jealousy and rage built up in her chest, threatening to tear her apart.This bitch had returned to seduce her husband! How shameless! No wonder Maxwell hadn't come home the night before. He must have been completely captivated by her.Rachel's eyes were bloodshot, and her smile turned into a sinister, twisted grin. She silently swore to make Jennifer suffer the consequences of being a mis

Jennifer's lips curled into a cold smile, and she said mockingly, "Fine, you win! With this hanging over my head, there's no way out for me. I'm bound to treat your son now."Hearing how badly she misunderstood him, Maxwell felt as if an invisible hand was gripping his heart tightly. The pain was so intense that he struggled to breathe.Why did she always assume the worst of him? She couldn't see his true feelings, which was why she believed everything he did for her was only for Jasper.Maxwell frowned and massaged his temples as he stared at Jennifer with a troubled expression. "Why can't you believe that I love you?"Jennifer shook her head. "I can't think of a single reason why someone would just fall for a stranger so quickly."Her remark felt like a bucket of ice-cold water being dumped over Maxwell's head. Without another word, he got out of bed and headed to the bathroom, shutting her out completely. Jennifer, on the other hand, scrambled to get dressed. The soreness i

Maxwell responded with a nonchalant grin, "Well, it looks like you've encountered one today."Jennifer was infuriated by his arrogance. Not only had he swapped her patient's medication, but now he was also trying to exploit and humiliate her.She was determined not to let Maxwell manipulate her. Besides, she had no future with a married man. Jennifer narrowed her eyes and warned, "Maxwell Lance, do you really think I'm powerless against you? Don't forget, I have proof of you stealing my medication and evidence of your indirect involvement in my patient's death!"You'd better get out of my house right now. If you continue to threaten me, I'll call the police and let them handle the situation!"However, Maxwell remained unfazed. He calmly replied, "This is what I needed to explain to you last night and why I came here. I didn't swap the medication. I had no idea about it. "I've looked into it and found that it was the Greganian specialist who had treated Jasper before. His lab co

Jennifer reflected on the events of the previous night and found the idea of sharing a roof with Maxwell unbearable."Please don't show up at my place anymore," she said firmly.Maxwell chuckled. He then reached out to touch her soft face and remarked meaningfully, "That depends on how you behave."Jennifer couldn't hold back her frustration any longer. She retorted, "You should find that evidence soon. Otherwise, I'll have to involve the police.""What about you?" Maxwell asked, "Aren't you coming to the hospital? Jasper is waiting for you to check in on him."With a scowl, Jennifer snapped, "I don't want to go with you. Go on your own. I'll find my own way."As a result, Maxwell and Jennifer arrived at the hospital separately. Since Maxwell had mentioned that Jasper's condition was urgent, Jennifer got there first, and he came later.In the ward, Jennifer found Rachel with Jasper. At that moment, Rachel's eyes burned with resentment. Even though Jennifer had previously pro

After much deliberation, Nathan finally made up his mind. He would accept the offer from Haven Hospital.Back then, he had left the country for Jennifer's sake, keeping her identity hidden and living a life so low profile that it was almost as if he didn't exist. But now, he knew he had to return for her.Over the past five years, Nathan had turned down countless offers from hospitals back home. Since he had left Haven University's affiliated hospital back then, going back now would feel like a downgrade.So, Nathan opted for Haven Hospital. That way, he could see Jennifer every day too.…Two days later, Nathan's plane touched down in Haven City. However, Jennifer had no idea what was coming. During the morning shift handover, Preston introduced a new colleague to the team. To her utter surprise, it was Nathan. A few new nurses and two residents had just joined the department, all of them single. When they saw how handsome Nathan was, they couldn't contain their excitement an

Jennifer smiled reassuringly and said, "You're amazing, too. I'm sure you have a lot of admirers. Didn't Lucas from the general surgery department come by to pick you up every day recently?""I don't like him," Judy replied with a frown. "Anyway, I'm off to work now. Dr. Susan, if you find out that Dr. Lowe and his girlfriend break up, let me know. I'll be sure to take my chance."Jennifer chuckled in exasperation and nodded. "Alright."Half an hour later, after Nathan had reviewed all the patients' records, he joined Jennifer for their rounds. When they entered Jasper's ward, Maxwell was visibly shocked to see Nathan. Rachel, who was also present, showed both astonishment and a hint of satisfaction. She glanced at Maxwell from the corner of her eye, her excitement palpable. With Nathan right there, Jennifer, that bitch, couldn't possibly seduce Maxwell."Why are you here?" Maxwell demanded, his gaze hostile as he looked at Nathan. But Nathan didn't back down. Instead, he res

At that moment, Jasper's gaze was filled with confusion as he looked at his parents. It was clear he understood some of their conversation, but other parts left him puzzled.Maxwell noticed it and said to Rachel in a low voice, "Let's step outside. We shouldn't discuss this in front of him."With that, Rachel followed him into the hallway, her voice sincere as she spoke. "I know you might think I was trying to matchmake Nathan and Jennifer on purpose. But who am I really doing this for?"It's for Jasper. Nathan has assured us he can cure him. If you try to take away Jennifer from him now, it could jeopardize Jasper's treatment."Maxwell's heart sank upon hearing that. He couldn't help but berate himself for being so consumed by his anger toward Nathan that he had neglected Jasper's safety.Noticing his reaction, Rachel continued, "Given Nathan's skills, if he took out his frustration with you on our son, we wouldn't even be able to tell. Ultimately, it's Jasper who will pay the pr

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

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
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1190
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
