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."

    "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

    But the path ahead seemed dark and endless. Jennifer would be lonely and afraid too. Thinking about the safety of her children, Jennifer finally agreed to Nathan's suggestion.She nodded. "Alright, I'll leave Cass and Cal with you. We'll go back abroad once I finish my contract with the hospital and wrap up things here."Nathan looked at her with concern and asked, "Can you share your plans with me?"He was worried that she might end up sacrificing herself in the end.Jennifer smiled self-deprecatingly. "What plans? I'm just taking things one step at a time! Dr. Lowe, just take care of Cass and Cal, and leave the rest to me, okay?"Nathan and Jennifer shared a look and he nodded. "As long as it doesn't jeopardize your safety, I will let you handle it."Soon, Amy came out with the children. When they heard they were going to Nathan's house, Cassidy and Caleb grew upset. They thought they could be with Jennifer once they arrived.But it seemed they would still have to be separated

    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
