However, Maxwell dismissed Simon's warnings. He still viewed Jennifer as kind and didn't believe she would ever do what Simon suggested.…The next morning, as Jennifer arrived at the office, she saw Rachel glaring at her outside the office door.Jennifer opened the door for her. "Ms. Walker, shall we talk inside?""Inside?" Rachel sneered. "Do you feel ashamed about what you did? Is that why you wish to talk inside?"Jennifer kept her hand in her pocket, where she had already called Maxwell's number. Rachel was unaware of this and continued sarcastically, "Why are you silent? You've done something so disgraceful. I should show your true colors to your colleagues so their husbands won't fall for your schemes!"Jennifer remained calm. "Ms. Walker, you've misunderstood. Last night, Mr. Lance was only here to fix a pipe. Let's discuss this in my office. It's crowded here. If others overheard us, it could harm not just my reputation but Mr. Lance's as well.""You're quite the smoo
"So, what if I am? " Jennifer smirked. "I suddenly want to experience the thrill of stealing someone else's husband. Just like you did, Ms. Walker. It must have been quite satisfying, right? Even though you have a bastard child and will never be Maxwell's wife, you still enjoy the perks it brings you!"Jennifer ruthlessly exposed Rachel's facade she had maintained all her life. Rachel was enraged and lost all reason. She lunged at Jennifer."You bitch! I'll kill you!" Rachel yelled as she grabbed Jennifer's coat, aiming for her face.Jennifer was prepared and didn't want to be hit. But the sound of the door opening suddenly echoed through the room.Jennifer's gaze shifted, and she suddenly stopped resisting. Rachel seized the opportunity to pull Jennifer's hair. She sneered. "You bitch, I'll show you your place today!""Ms. Walker, please calm down!" Jennifer's change in attitude didn't make Rachel realize anything was amiss. As Rachel was about to slap Jennifer, a strong hand gra
Rachel glared at Jennifer. "You're so cunning! This was all part of your plan, wasn't it? You wanted me to fall into your trap so Maxwell would see this, right?"Jennifer feigned innocence. "Ms. Walker, what are you talking about? I... don't understand."Rachel couldn't believe that Jennifer had turned into such a schemer. Maxwell was now looking at her with disdain and disgust.Rachel panicked and ran to Maxwell, crying, "Maxwell, you have to believe me! I didn't do it! Jennifer...”Maxwell's gaze was icy. "I don't even recognize you anymore. Rachel, how are you supposed to raise Jasper like this?""I…" Rachel was flustered and at a loss for words. She suddenly had an idea and pointed at Jennifer. "She remembers! Maxwell, she's here to get revenge on us! Don't believe her!""Shut up!" Maxwell cut Rachel off. He preferred Jennifer to forget the past and start anew. Besides, he had heard Rachel's humiliating remarks about Jennifer with his own ears.Maxwell said coldly, "Listen c
Maxwell's heart still ached when he thought of the child that Jennifer had aborted. He remained silent then shook his head. "None of that matters anymore. I can forget everything as long as she's willing to return to me!"Rachel's heart sank. She realized that being hurt emotionally was much worse than being hurt physically. Maxwell was truly ruthless.Just then, a cry broke the tense atmosphere. Unbeknownst to them, Jasper had been standing nearby, bawling his eyes out.Rachel quickly rushed over to pick him up. "Jasper, what's wrong? Don't cry.""Mom, please don't fight with Dad, okay?" Jasper pleaded through teary eyes, "I don't want you two to separate. I want our family to be together."Rachel immediately comforted him, "We won't separate. Our family will stay together."Maxwell also grew upset by his son's distress.Rachel turned to Maxwell with Jasper in her arms. "Maxwell, you're not alone anymore. You have me and Jasper. You can't just do whatever you want. At the very
"What do you mean by that?" Maxwell probed, "What exactly has she done?"Martha sighed. "We don't know what she's doing every day, but she's always harsh with us. Over these five years, many maids were driven away besides me. If Mrs. Lance were still around, she would've treated us with kindness, and there would never have been quarrels between the maids and her."In truth, Maxwell had heard whispers about these issues. He sensed that Rachel had changed over the years, though he couldn't pinpoint how. The kindness he once admired in her seemed to have twisted into something unfamiliar and unsettling.But since Jennifer left, Maxwell had turned his attention to his work and child. He hadn't had time to deal with what happened at home. Now, hearing Martha's words, Maxwell suddenly realized that his indulgence had allowed Rachel to act unreasonably.Maxwell muttered grimly, "Got it. I'll keep an eye on her n. Take good care of Jasper. And Susan… is Jasper's doctor. She's actually Jenn
Rachel finally convinced Shaun. He nodded. "Alright, I'll give it a try. After all, we don't want to cause too much of a commotion."A sinister look flashed in Rachel's eyes. She was determined to make Jennifer suffer for the rest of her life once she got hold of those two children.…At a kindergarten abroad, it was almost the end of school. Caleb was waiting for the caretaker to pick him up. Suddenly, a tall man approached him anxiously. He asked, "Are you Cal?""Who are you?" Caleb looked at him warily.The man pretended to be in a hurry. "I'm a colleague of your mom, Susan. She just landed at the airport but got into a car accident and is now in the hospital. Come on, I'll take you to her! Where's your sister?"The man reached for Caleb, but the child put his hands behind his back. The man's words were scaring Caleb. However, he and Cassidy spoke to Jennifer yesterday, and she mentioned that she was busy and wouldn't be back until next week.Caleb looked at the strange man a
Caleb was still shocked by the whole ordeal as the teacher escorted him home. The caretaker was terrified and immediately called Jennifer.Jennifer was working on Jasper's treatment plan when she heard that Caleb was almost kidnapped. She immediately jerked up, alerted.Her voice trembled with fear as she asked, "Are the kids okay now?""Don't worry, the kids are fine. But I think it's unsafe to stay here. Plus, you're often away, and it's hard for me to care for them myself." The incident left the caretaker shaken. Although she had been looking after the two children since they were young, they weren't hers. With so many bad people out there, she was terrified of something going wrong and betraying Jennifer's trust.Jennifer thought long and hard before making a decision. "Amy, are you willing to work abroad? I can offer you triple your salary.""I..." Amy hesitated. Although her son and daughter-in-law were abroad, Jennifer's offer was very tempting. Moreover, she had worked wit
The group returned to Jennifer's place in Haven City.Amy took the two children to their new rooms, as there was a lot of luggage to unpack.In the living room, Nathan looked at Jennifer with concern. "Have you thought this through? Are you not worried about Nathan discovering them by bringing them here? Have you considered what might happen if he finds out they are his?"Jennifer sighed and told Nathan about the incident a few days ago. She shook her head. "I couldn't leave the children alone. But I can't abandon my research either. I had no choice but to bring them here. I knew you'd say it was too risky and disapprove if I consulted you."Nathan knew and respected Jennifer. She was stubborn and wouldn't risk her children for work. Nathan knew Jennifer had her reasons for making her decisions, and he would support her. "Why don't you leave the children with me? Things might get complicated if Maxwell sees Cass or Cal.""Leave the children with you?" Jennifer quickly refused, "No
