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

    The days passed by in a blur. Before Jennifer knew it, the weekend had arrived. With a visit to the Lowes scheduled for the next day, she decided to leave work an hour early to get a more elegant hairstyle.The hospital was still bustling with people despite it being a Friday. The elevators were also packed and barely moving. After checking several elevators, Jennifer noticed that the one near the obstetrics and gynecology department was relatively empty. Thus, she headed toward it.Not far away, Laura sat in a chair with a blank stare, appearing deep in thought as she waited for her number to be called. Suddenly, her phone rang. The moment she saw the caller ID, she felt a surge of nervousness. Yet, she still answered the call. From the other end of the line came Simon's cold voice. "Have you gotten the contraceptive injection?"Throughout their five years together, Laura had taken birth control pills after their encounters. However, the frequent use of these pills had upset

    Laura took a deep breath and replied, "So it's really you. Jennifer, don't you recognize me? What about Maxwell? Do you remember him? Have you looked for him since you returned?"A flicker of shock crossed Jennifer's eyes as she pressed, "You know Maxwell?""Of course I do! I'd never forget that scoundrel, no matter what! If it hadn't been for his endless affair with Rachel and their child, you wouldn't have had to run away like that," Laura answered through clenched teeth.After saying that, she looked at Jennifer incredulously and asked, "But what happened to you? You really don't remember any of it?"Jennifer's mind was in turmoil, the shock nearly devastating. How could Nathan's version of events be so different from what this woman was saying? In utter disbelief, she sought confirmation again. "W-Were we really best friends?" Realization dawned on Laura as she forced herself to accept the truth. "Are you saying you've lost your memory? Jennifer, you need to tell me what ha

    Jennifer trembled with shock. Everything she had just learned was the complete opposite of what Nathan had told her. It felt as though she had stumbled into a parallel universe, one that was overwhelmingly devastating. Was Maxwell the father of her children? No, she refused to believe it.Jennifer asked in a subdued tone, "So… What exactly was my relationship with Maxwell?""You're his ex-wife," Laura replied, frustrated. She hadn't expected Jennifer to have forgotten about this too. Laura proceeded to explain, "You divorced him because of that bitch, Rachel. But later, you couldn't bear to do it and kept going back and forth with him for quite a while. I guess you left without a word back then because of her too."Jennifer had a sudden realization. Finally, all the reactions of those around her made sense. She understood why Maxwell had gone to such extremes to save her and why he seemed to care so much. It also explained Rachel's intense hostility and why Nathan didn't want

    "Oh crap!" Laura quickly grabbed her bag and said to Jennifer, "I need to leave now. I have some matters to attend to. Let's exchange numbers. I'll get in touch with you in a few days."After all, they had so much more to talk about. Seeing Laura in such a hurry, Jennifer knew there was no time for further questions. So, they hurriedly exchanged contact information. Jennifer's eyes were filled with gratitude as she gazed at Laura. "Thank you." If it weren't for Laura, she'd still be in the dark, being played for a fool by everyone.Laura waved dismissively. "What's there to thank me for? You're my best friend!"…At the Golden Sands Hotel, Simon's mother, Fiona Graham, couldn't hide her delight. She had assumed that Simon would never show up to one of these blind dates, but to her surprise, he actually did.Sitting across from Simon, Hailey Brooks was brimming with excitement. Their parents had already agreed on the marriage, and she was infatuated with him from the moment t

    The streets of Haven City were crowded. Laura had called Simon countless times but he didn't answer. Eventually, Simon turned off his phone.Laura realized that Simon was angry. The memories of Simon's actions sent shivers down her spine. When she arrived at Golden Sands Hotel, the private room was already empty. Laura's heart was in turmoil, and she had no choice but to return home.When she opened the door, she saw Simon sitting on the couch with a grim expression. He seemed to have just returned home as well. His shirt and trousers were still on, and his blue suit jacket was thrown over the couch.Laura stood at the doorway, looking at him fearfully.Although Simon was a ruthless man, he was still handsome. Even though he was in his 30s, he was the kind of man who grew more attractive with age.Laura consoled herself, thinking that spending five years of her life with Simon wasn't entirely a loss. Although he had taken advantage of her, she also slept with him!"Why are you lo

    Laura was at a loss for words. Indeed, Simon never hit or scolded her. But what he did to her was far worse, causing her pain that no physical punishment could match.…That night, Simon had his way with Laura until she felt better off dead. When it was finally over, she couldn't even make a sound and trembled in his arms.Simon, satisfied, gently caressed her reddened skin. His voice was hoarse. "Why are you trembling? It's not like I'm asking you for a lot."Laura's eyes were swollen and she choked, "Please... Don't do this again, okay?"Her obedience did stir something in him. Simon smiled. "That depends on my mood and your performance."Laura was terrified of his twisted methods. Perhaps he had asked her to go to the Golden Sands Hotel just to engage in these degrading acts. Had she ruined his plans? Was that why he was angry?Despair crept into Laura. When would this end? Her father was sentenced to life in prison. Would this humiliating life also be forever?Her only moti

    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

    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
