You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 67
Rachel pretended to look surprised as she quickly left his embrace. "How... No, no, you got it wrong. That's not mine. Max, you should go back. I'm really fine. Go back now."The more she acted like this, the more Maxwell felt that she was truly ill.The way she held the fruit knife and gestured on her wrist just now was exactly like the behavior of someone with depression.Maxwell held her shoulders with both hands and stared into her eyes. "Tell me. When did you start getting sick?"Thinking about how cold he had been to her these past few days when she was sick, Maxwell felt extremely regretful.Under his questioning, Rachel finally spoke in a choked-up voice. "It was probably that night after I slept with you. You know I'm quite a traditional woman. I care a lot about my virginity."I always thought that after being together for so long, you would give me an answer. But now, I dare not hope anymore. I feel like you've changed. You probably don't love me anymore."At this poi

Not long after, Maxwell returned.After driving her away yesterday, he felt some regret. He couldn't shake off his concern for her and wanted to come back to see her."Sir, welcome back." Martha peeked out the window and said, "Mrs. Lance just left."Maxwell paused and asked, "Where did she go?"Martha replied with concern, "It seems that her dad is seriously ill, so she went back home.""What? Her dad is sick?"Maxwell frowned with puzzlement. How could that be? He had met Zion this morning at an exhibition, and he looked perfectly fine. He didn't seem sick at all.Martha asked cautiously, "Have you eaten yet?""I'm not hungry. I'm going out for a bit."Although Maxwell didn't know why the Yales had called Jennifer back, he couldn't help but worry.…At this moment, Agnes was sitting on the main couch, tasting the coffee brewed by her daughter-in-law."Mom, isn't this coffee good? It's a new coffee." Jocelyn massaged Agnes' back, trying to please her.Agnes nodded in sati

Jocelyn tried to act nice and went over to hold Jennifer's hand, but Jennifer quickly dodged her."Oh, Jennifer. How could you speak to your grandmother like this? You really have misunderstood her," Jocelyn said with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. "Your grandmother is just worried you wouldn't be treated well in the Lance family and that you might end up wasting away your youth without getting anything in return."Jennifer was realizing all the more that these women hadn't asked her to come over for any simple reason. Jocelyn reminded her of the phrase "There was no smoke without fire". "Why did you ask me to come here today?" Jennifer asked, brows knitted together. "I'm going to leave now if there's nothing else."Agnes called after her, "Wait, you ungrateful child! I'm only upset to see you being so disrespected in the Lance family. We're your mother's relatives after all. We can't just sit and do nothing to help."Jennifer snorted and asked, "How do you plan to help me?

Jennifer balled her hands into fists, feeling both angry and disappointed. She could understand Jocelyn and Bridget's hatred toward her, but why was her own grandmother pushing her into the wolves' den?Jennifer sneered and said to Agnes, "Should I be addressing my father as my cousin's husband then? I'll marry this man if my father agrees to it!""How dare you?" Agnes slammed her hand on the coffee table and exclaimed, "All you talk about is your father, but do you even have any respect for me? Your father respects me the most, and so he still has to listen to my instructions! Don't you dare try and pressure me with him!"Right when Agnes was in the middle of shouting, one of the house staff came over and reported, "Mrs. Yale Senior, your guest has arrived."Agnes quickly composed herself and said, "Hurry up and show him in then."Jennifer never expected them to be so impatient as to have invited the sleazy old man over right away. How could she just sit there and let this go on?

Quentin was truly embarrassed now, but he still had to forcefully suppress his anger.He'd teach this bitch a lesson once they were married!Agnes snapped, "Where are your manners, Jennifer? How could you speak to our guest like this?"Jocelyn quickly said, "Forget it, Mom. Jennifer didn't say all that on purpose."She really was playing good cop, bad cop with Agnes.Jocelyn then handed Jennifer a drink. "Here's some fruit juice, Jennifer. I know you don't drink alcohol. Eat some more, too. I cooked all these dishes myself."Jennifer glanced at the juice and dishes in front of her. In her periphery, she could see how lustful Quentin was and how nervous Bridget and Jocelyn looked. Both of them seemed to be waiting for Jennifer to drink the juice.But how on Earth would Jennifer make the same mistake twice?She lost her virginity to a stranger in this exact way last time too, so there was no way she was going to eat or drink anything these women offered her.Quentin was getting

Maxwell was dressed in a dark-colored suit. He walked into the room, exuding a fearful aura. Jennifer never expected him to come here to the Yale residence, especially during such a helpless moment for her too.Quentin clearly hadn't understood what was going on. He yelled at Jennifer. "You can either go back home with me tonight or get on your knees and apologize! I've already decided to take you for myself, so you'd better not ruin this further for yourself!""How bold." Maxwell walked toward Quentin, his eyes cold and sharp. He was a head taller than Quentin, making him seem all the more domineering.Agnes kept on shooting Jocelyn looks, too frightened to say a word.Jocelyn knew things were really serious now, so she quickly said, "It's all a misunderstanding! I'll just tell you the truth now since you're here, Mr. Maxwell. Jennifer told us there were some issues in your marriage, so she sought our help to find a better man in order to divorce you. Her grandmother cares deeply

Quentin quickly clambered up and ran toward the entrance. As he cupped his face, he yelled out, "Just you wait! I'm going to get you next time!"Maxwell didn't run after Quentin, as it would be insulting to someone of his status to fight with the latter in such a manner. Maxwell had only taught Quentin that brief lesson earlier because he was furious upon seeing the slap mark on Jennifer's cheek.After Quentin ran away, both Agnes and Jocelyn deflated. They felt like they were in deep trouble now.Agnes hesitated for a moment before saying, "That was all just a misunderstanding, Mr. Maxwell. I'm sure there's been a misunderstanding between us and Jennifer as well. Why don't you have a seat? I'll have a pot of tea prepared for you. After all, a family needs to have a strong bond, right?""My only family here is my wife." Maxwell looked down upon Agnes and Jocelyn. "I can let go of what happened today if my wife doesn't pursue the matter. But if she does, prepare to suffer the conseq

Jennifer felt incredibly upset afterward and continued walking aimlessly forward.Maxwell's heart ached at the sight. He went and enveloped her in his arms without a second thought. He caressed her hair and kept her head tucked against his chest, murmuring, "I… I wasn't wholly putting up an act earlier."Jennifer's shoulders were quaking slightly in his grasp.Every word Maxwell said echoed in her heart, making her tremble uncontrollably. Jennifer looked up, gazing at him through tearful eyes. "I nearly thought what you said at the Yale residence earlier was all true. But we still have to be realistic, don't we?"Maxwell looked at her, feeling upset as she cried. He gently wiped her tears away and said, "Even if we're not together anymore in the future, I still wouldn't be able to bear to see anyone hurting you. No one can force you to do anything you don't want to do, not even the Yale family themselves."Jennifer only felt more upset the more Maxwell spoke.He said they would

You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1182
Almost immediately, Laura pulled out her camera and snapped a photo of the couple on the field. She figured she could ask Britney to write a small feature about it to fill some space in the paper.The young man knelt on one knee, holding out a ring as he asked, "Will you marry me?"On the other hand, the woman was overwhelmed. Tears streamed down her face, and she couldn't even manage a coherent response.Around them, the crowd erupted with cheers. "Say yes! Say yes!" they chanted.Laura stood silently, her eyes glistening as tears clung to her lashes. She envied the woman. There was nothing more beautiful than being proposed to by someone you loved and knowing you were cherished. Unfortunately, that kind of happiness would never be hers.Her choice to be with Simon came with a cost—she had to keep their relationship hidden. She had willingly let go of any hope of a public future with him, of sharing their happiness openly. One day, perhaps soon, Simon would stage a grand pr
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1181
Simon hummed softly before explaining, "The police retrieved the surveillance footage, but it wasn't enough to prove anything. Now that he's taken photos of us, we have solid evidence. This confirms he's been stalking and secretly photographing us."Only then did Laura understand why he had asked her out. The excitement that had been bubbling within her vanished instantly at that realization.She pulled her hand away from his, her voice tinged with disappointment as she said, "So, this is why you wanted to watch the fireworks. Well, now that we've got the evidence, can we go home?"But to her surprise, Simon took her hand again, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Who says we can't gather evidence and enjoy the fireworks at the same time?"Laura froze momentarily. He had a point.In the end, they went to Botanical Garden as planned. The fireworks show was just beginning when they arrived. On top of that, Simon had made arrangements beforehand. So, the garden's director personall

Laura blinked innocently and answered, "I was talking about myself."Simon fixed his gaze on her, narrowing his eyes slightly. "Should I call Alex over right now? You can ask him directly if he's willing to accept you."Laura hadn't expected to shoot herself in the foot again, and her face turned red from his teasing. Flustered, she shoved him away. "Oh, come on! I was joking!"I was asking on behalf of Britney. You know, my colleague. If Alex is single, why not let them give it a shot? Britney's great. She's cheerful and kind. They seem like a good match."Simon finally let out a scoff. "You've got a knack for worrying about everyone, don't you?"She pushed him toward his desk and replied, "Alright, that's enough. You should get back to work. I'll tell Britney and have Alex give her a ride back. It's a perfect opportunity for them to spend some time together."With that, Simon sat back down in front of his computer and got back to work.At the same time, Laura texted Britney, a

"No problem, Laura," Alex replied before shifting his gaze to Britney.Then, he shyly said, "Let me show you around our firm. That way, if you guys ever work with us again, you'll have a better sense of how we operate."Britney, ever cheerful and outgoing, flashed a bright smile. "Sounds great! Let's go!"A satisfied smile tugged at Laura's lips as she watched them chat. With that, she entered Simon's office.Work was something both Simon and Laura took seriously. Moreover, the Brooks Group workplace fatality case weighed heavily on her heart.She couldn't shake her frustration and confusion about why Simon had taken the case, but she had a job to do. Setting her personal feelings aside, she switched into professional mode and began asking her questions.This time, Simon didn't make things difficult for her. He answered each question thoroughly and without hesitation. Toward the end of the interview, Laura asked a pointed question that hadn't been part of her original script.
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1178
The station chief reviewed the surveillance footage and explained to Simon personally, "His last known location was at the dormitory building of Haven University. He went inside, but unfortunately, there were no cameras in the restrooms."We believed he changed his clothes and shoes before leaving. Our initial assessment is that he's likely a student at the university. But for now, the trail's gone cold. I'd say he's good at avoiding being tracked. At this point, we don't have enough evidence to bring him in."Simon nodded in response. Now, he was nearly certain of the stalker's identity. "Alright, I think I know who it is. Thank you for your hard work."The station chief hurriedly replied, "Oh, Mr. Moore, no need to thank us! We'll be needing your expertise down the line. Helping each other is what we do."…At the studio, Laura sat in her office, texting Simon to check if there were any updates on the stalker.However, all he replied was, "They're still investigating."The cor

"Mr. Moore…" Laura let out a sigh. After a moment's hesitation, she couldn't hold back any longer. "I really feel for the victim in the Brooks Group's workplace fatality case. Does the Brooks family even care about that small amount of money? One million dollars is just pocket change to them, but to another family, it's everything."Simon showed no emotion as he replied, "Mind your own business."Laura pouted but quickly relented. "So, do you have time tomorrow? My boss said we need to follow up on the progress of the Brooks Group case as soon as possible. Can you—"Before she could finish her sentence, Simon suddenly shut his laptop, set it aside, and leaned toward her.He fixed his gaze on the terrified Laura. His handsome face came dangerously close, stopping just inches from hers. Then, he said, "Well, as long as you behave and stop testing my patience."While unbuttoning her pajama top, he added, "Otherwise, with everything I've got going on, why should I take time to help

Simon pressed Laura against the wall and kissed her.Yet, this was what hurt her the most. He had never cared whether she wanted it or not. In fact, there were so many unresolved issues between them. However, Simon seemed utterly indifferent and showed no intention of addressing them. He kissed Laura for a while. Just when she thought he might take things to the next level, he abruptly stopped.Simon's breathing was unsteady, his voice low and hoarse as he said, "Go take a shower. I've got work to do and can't keep messing with you."It was only then Laura realized he had drawn her in. Now that he had stopped, her cheeks still burned, and she couldn't shake the lingering pull of desire he'd stirred.Simon seemed to notice her unease. He then asked with a smirk, "Or would you rather continue?"Laura's heart skipped a beat. She quickly pushed him away and lowered her head. "I'll go shower."As he stared at her retreating figure, the lust in Simon's gaze gradually faded. In the

In the next moment, Simon's lips curled into a smile. "It was Maxwell who called me and asked me to come help you with this. Don't forget, Jennifer isn't just your best friend. She's also Maxwell's wife and the mother of Caleb and Cassidy."Did you even check if Maxwell was okay with you staying at their place? Not everyone is as comfortable with you as Jennifer is."Laura wanted nothing more than to shut him up. However, she couldn't deny that he had a point. Apart from Harry, Jennifer was the only one who had ever treated Laura like family. While Jennifer might never push her away, that didn't mean everyone else would be as kind. That house belonged to Jennifer, but it was Maxwell's too.At that moment, Laura felt completely alone and helpless. …Just like that, she quickly packed a few essentials and followed Simon back to his place in the dead of night.He then pointed to a small wardrobe and lightly instructed, "You can leave your clothes here for now."After opening it,

Laura cried in Simon's arms for what felt like an eternity before finally lifting her head. Her voice carried a hint of grievance as she said, "Why wouldn't you believe me? I told you someone was following me, but you still didn't trust me."Simon gently wiped her tears away. "I'm sorry. That's on me."But Laura shoved him aside, her tone defiant. "Spare me the fake concern. I've reported it to the police, so it doesn't matter whether you show up or not."A flicker of amusement passed through Simon's dark eyes as he studied her. "Really?""Of course!" Laura lifted her chin, as if she weren't afraid of anything. "I'm trained in martial arts and can protect myself. Besides, the police are involved. Even without you, I'm not scared."Simon couldn't help but chuckle. Suddenly, his arm snaked around her waist, pulling her close again. "Who was trembling in fear earlier? The same person who stayed holed up in the bedroom all night because she was too afraid to come out?" he teased in
