Rachel took a deep breath and said, "Dr. Lowe, do you really believe that Maxwell and I did something so awful? Maxwell had already explained to Dr. Susan that it was the Greganian doctor who had done it. We were deceived!"Nathan's lips curled into a smile, but his gaze remained cold. "Mrs. Lance, don't be anxious. Let the police handle this, and they'll prove your innocence. "If they find that you and Mr. Lance had nothing to do with it, your names will be cleared."Nathan's reasoning left Rachel speechless. Fortunately, no one was singling her out. Even if there were suspicions, they were directed at both her and Maxwell.As long as Maxwell could clear his name, she couldn't be arrested. With that in mind, Rachel's anxiety eased somewhat. "Officers, please wait a moment. I need to call my husband and have him come here."…Maxwell was in a meeting when Michael rushed in and whispered in his ear, "Ms. Walker has just called to say that Susan has reported you to the police.

It seemed Jennifer was truly ending things with Maxwell for good. Why else would she be so intent on bringing him down?…In the doctor's office, a pile of unprocessed medical records sat in front of Jennifer, but her mind was elsewhere. She couldn't stop wondering about the police investigation. Was Maxwell okay?At that moment, Nathan approached her. He tapped the stack of files lightly with his slender fingers and reassured her, "Don't worry. The police didn't take him away. They just asked him some routine questions."Jennifer jolted out of her thoughts. "You've got it wrong. I was just… thinking about work," she replied awkwardly. "Is that so?"The corners of Nathan's lips curled into a wry smile, yet he didn't press the issue. Instead, he changed the subject. "I just got off the plane today and came straight here. I haven't even found a place yet. Any suggestions on where I should stay?"Jennifer paused briefly. She knew exactly what he meant, but she played dumb and sa

As Rachel spoke, her agitation grew. By the end, her words were coming through gritted teeth. Nathan's eyes widened in shock before he shook his head in disbelief. He then said sharply, "Stop making baseless accusations! Otherwise, not only will you remain under suspicion for the medication swap, but you'll also face defamation charges.""Dr. Lowe, you're a clever man. If you truly had faith in Jennifer, you wouldn't have traveled all the way back from abroad, would you?" Rachel sneered. Nathan knew she was not someone to be underestimated, yet he felt uncomfortable that she had brought his personal concerns to light. After a long pause, Nathan finally met Rachel's gaze and asked, "So, what do you want to do?""It's simple. Just claim that there was a mistake in the drug concentration test and that the medication swap never happened. After that, take Jennifer back abroad and get on with your lives."As soon as Rachel finished speaking, she fixed her gaze on Nathan with confide

Nathan was aware that both Rachel and Maxwell had looked into Jennifer's past. Rachel's investigation had caught him off guard, and thus, he was unprepared. But when it came to Maxwell, Nathan had seen it coming and ensured he didn't find out about the two children.Nathan was unfazed by Rachel's threat. He stared her down and said, "You won't do it. What good would it do you if Maxwell learned about the two children? "Don't forget, the only reason you're still with him is because Jasper is his only son. But if he discovers Jennifer has also borne him two children, how much of a chance do you think you'd have left?"Rachel's face turned ashen upon hearing that. This wasn't what she had expected at all. She had come here to strike a deal with Nathan, but somehow, he had gained the upper hand. She had assumed he was just a frail scholar. However, he turned out to be as shrewd and capable as Maxwell. He was far from ordinary.Nathan had no intention of continuing the conversation

But deep down, Jennifer knew she had to stop. Otherwise, she'd end up ruining herself.Suddenly, Maxwell chuckled. Though he smiled, his expression remained as frosty as ever. He stepped closer to Jennifer, bent down, and asked, "Tell me, if Nathan found out we'd been intimate, would he still want you?""You!" Jennifer, enraged, raised her hand to strike Maxwell. However, he grabbed her wrist before she could.His gaze was sharp as he uttered each word deliberately, "You've gotten used to hitting me, haven't you? Jennifer Yale, you think you can walk all over me because you know I still care about you and can't forget you, huh?"Jennifer's heart sank. Why did Maxwell's voice and expression seem so eerily familiar? It was as if she'd encountered him in her fragmented dreams. But they'd only known each other for a month. A dull ache pulsed in her head as disjointed memories flashed before her eyes. Yet, they were like shooting stars, too fleeting to hold onto. Dazed, Jennifer f

Maxwell's eyes reflected a mix of reluctance and sorrow as he spat, "All Nathan has taught you is how to be ruthless. Since that's the case, I won't bother you anymore. Take care of yourself."Having said his piece, Maxwell cast them one last glance before walking away decisively.Jennifer's eyes welled up with emotion as she reminisced about her time with Maxwell. Despite that, she fought back the urge to cry, forced a smile, and tried to sound nonchalant."He's just a peculiar man. We weren't even acquainted before, so let's not worry about him," she said.Even though Rachel had revealed the harsh truth, Nathan chose to trust Jennifer. He gazed at her with a tender expression and replied, "Jennifer, I'm so glad you chose me."Jennifer struggled to keep her sadness at bay, reminding herself that Nathan was the one who truly loved her. She realized that if she didn't appreciate his feelings and betrayed him, she would be no different from Maxwell. With a firm resolve, she declar

"I wish Cas and Cal were here," Jennifer remarked wistfully.Nathan froze momentarily before saying, "I've already made arrangements for the kids this time. Besides, we can adjust our shifts to take turns visiting them."He feared that Jennifer might propose bringing Cassidy and Caleb over. If Maxwell discovered that Jennifer had his children, he would surely tell her everything. Nathan wasn't sure if Jennifer would ever forgive him for the five years of deceit, even though he believed his lies were well-intentioned.Jennifer hesitated, then asked, "Won't that be too hard on you? Why don't we bring them here instead?""Not at all. Doing things for the person I love is never a burden. The kids have adjusted to their life overseas. A sudden move might be too tough on them."Without waiting for Jennifer's response, Nathan took her to a clothing store. "Since we're out today, let's relax and enjoy ourselves. Don't worry about it for now, okay?"You always love this brand, so choose

If that was true, Jennifer would have to face the fact she had been terribly wrong about Maxwell.A myriad of emotions flickered in Nathan's eyes as he sighed and answered, "Yesterday, a plane bound for Gregan crashed, killing all on board. Clement Watkins was among the victims, as his name was on the passenger list."Jennifer was utterly shocked to learn that. She instinctively asked, "If he's dead, doesn't that mean there's no way to prove the truth?""You could put it that way. But don't worry. I'll find the real culprit, no matter what," Nathan replied with a steely look.Jennifer asked in confusion, "Isn't Clement the main culprit? Do you still think Maxwell might be involved?""You always get so nervous whenever Maxwell's name comes up," Nathan remarked as he cast her a meaningful glance.Realizing her unease had shown, Jennifer awkwardly explained, "I'm not anxious. I just want to know the truth."Despite his strong bias against Maxwell, Nathan stated objectively, "It's p

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

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
