You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 675
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 a long time, she became more certain of Jennifer's motives. On the surface, Jennifer said she broke up with Nathan. But they were actually still in contact. Since she left her children with Nathan, it meant they were still close.This implied that Jennifer was approaching Maxwell and provoking Rachel purely out of revenge!Rachel forced herself to stay calm. It was likely that Jennifer wouldn't want Maxwell to find out about her children even though she brought them here. Otherwise, why would she hide the children at Nathan's place?Rachel breathed a sigh of relief. She still had a chance to turn the tides as long as Maxwell didn't know about the children's existence!…After settling everything, Nathan applied to work at Haven University to avoid arousing Maxwell's suspicion, putting a stop to his clinical work.Jennifer continued to make rounds and visit patients. Since the incident with Rachel, Jennifer deliberately ignored Maxwell for several days and was cold toward hi

Maxwell gave Jennifer a confident gaze. "I wouldn't have said this if I hadn't thought this through. So, will you return to me if I send Rachel away?"Jennifer did not give him a clear answer. "Talk to me after you settle things with her. Even if I'm willing, she might not be! I don't want to be entangled with that woman."Jennifer's response answered Maxwell's question. After all, he had already made up his mind. If he wanted to win Jennifer back, he needed to show her his commitment. He could not maintain connections with Rachel and had to avoid repeating past mistakes.Thus, Maxwell brought Jasper home after his discharge. Rachel was thrilled to see her son who looked much healthier than before. However, her heart suddenly sank.Maxwell gave her a grim expression. "Come with me to the study.""Okay." Rachel forced a smile and said to Jasper, "Play by yourself for a while. I need to talk to your dad."She followed Maxwell upstairs nervously.Once in the study, Maxwell got stra

Maxwell said, "I don't want to make things difficult for you for the sake of Jasper. But Rachel, you've changed. I won't leave Jasper with you. He's still an innocent child. Will you be able to bring him up as someone respectable?"Rachel sneered. "It seems Jennifer has achieved her goals! She has finally separated us! This is only the beginning. She'll come for you next! You don't trust me? Well, let's see if she'll return to you once I'm gone!"Maxwell frowned. "This has nothing to do with her. It's my choice. Maybe I shouldn't have let you give birth to Jasper. Then we wouldn't have complicated things."Rachel couldn't contain herself anymore. Would her efforts be in vain? She suddenly grabbed Maxwell's hand and begged, "Maxwell, I don't mind leaving. But please let me take Jasper. He's my child! I can't leave him! We can go our separate ways and won't disturb Jenifer. You can also visit us when you feel like it. Please?""I can't leave Jasper with you." Maxwell had made up his

How should Maxwell explain adult matters to a five-year-old?Jasper remembered how hurt Rachel looked when she left and yelled at Maxwell, "I hate you! You're a bad person. I hate you!"Maxwell stood there, stunned by the look in his son's eyes. After all, Jasper had always been well-behaved and never cried even when getting shots or having an IV, just to avoid worrying his parents.But now, he was saying that he hated him!Maxwell's heart twisted.Jasper sat on the ground and cried loudly, "Give Mom back!"Maxwell pulled him up and said sternly, "Jasper, this is our decision. Throwing a tantrum won't change anything! I'll arrange for you to meet your mom when you miss her. But if you keep acting like this, I might not let you see her again!"Only then did Jasper stop crying. But he looked miserable with his tears held back, afraid to cry.Maxwell sighed. "Even if your mom and I are separated, we still love you. Our love for you will not change."Jasper feared Maxwell might ke

Jennifer sneered disdainfully. "That's fine by me. I can meet you every day while you watch Maxwell and me being all lovey-dovey, right?"Rachel wanted to tear Jennifer's face off. She narrowed her eyes and asked, "Jennifer, be honest! What are your motives? Do you want to be with Maxwell, or have you remembered the past and want to take revenge on us?""Why does it matter?" Jennifer wouldn't let her have the satisfaction. "Did you do something so horrible that you're afraid of me seeking revenge?"Rachel's heart sank, and she quickly retorted, "Nonsense! What do I have to be afraid of?"She remembered something and said, "Since you've regained your memory, you must remember being taken advantage of at Nimbus Lounge, right? Do you think Maxwell would still cherish a soiled woman like you? You're a used woman, a plaything for men to enjoy!"Jennifer's expression dropped. What did Rachel mean by that? She resisted the urge to probe further because she didn't want Rachel to figure ou

Laura sighed, not wanting to discuss Simon. Jennifer noticed her reluctance and sat beside her. "I'll stay with you. I don't have much going on today anyway.""Alright." Laura tilted her head at Jennifer. "Even though you don't remember me, don't you feel a certain bond when we're together?"Jennifer was amused and nodded. "Yes, I felt like you were a good person when we first met, and I instinctively want to be close to you.""Then why haven't you contacted me?" Laura shook her phone. "We even exchanged numbers!"Jennifer knew she was about to embark on a path of revenge. She didn't want to drag anyone else down with her, which was why she hadn't reached out to Laura.However, recalling Rachel's words, Jennifer still wanted to get to the bottom of things.After accompanying Laura to get her contraceptive shot, Laura suggested that they have dinner together that evening. Jennifer agreed and they went to Gold Guardian. Laura even remembered all of Jennifer's favorite foods.Despi

You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1196
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
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1194
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
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1193
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
