You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 690
After dinner, Maxwell was hoping to have some alone time with Jennifer. However, Jasper grabbed her and took her to his room to ask her a bunch of questions. Jasper said he wanted to be a doctor when he grew up and even asked for Jennifer's stethoscope. Jennifer couldn't help but laugh at the request.The more she spent time with him, the more she found Jasper to be as lovable as her children, Cassidy and Caleb. Despite her resentment toward Rachel and Maxwell, she couldn't bring herself to dislike Jasper.By 9:00 pm, it was time for Jasper to go to bed. Because of his health, he always went to sleep early."Dr. Susan, could you tell me a bedtime story?" Jasper asked. His eyes glistened with tears as he choked, "No one has told me stories or tucked me in at night since my mom left."Jennifer felt pity for him and asked, "What about your dad?""My dad is busy with work. Sometimes he doesn't come home until after I'm already asleep." Jasper's voice was filled with sadness. "He say

"Mr. Lance, I should go now," said Jennifer. She held Maxwell at arm's length, just close enough to keep him yearning for more.But the push and pull was too much for Maxwell. In a sudden move, he leaned in, cupped her head, and brought her closer. He savored the unique sweetness of her, but out of his sight, Jennifer frowned in dismay.To Maxwell, this seemed to be the only way to show how much he missed her and how badly he wanted her back.However, Jennifer's detachment and avoidance were real. She didn't return his kiss, merely enduring it.After what seemed like an eternity, Maxwell finally let her go, and they were both left breathless. Though Jennifer kept reminding herself this was just a way to get back at him and that she was only tolerating it, her heart still raced uncontrollably. She couldn't even bring herself to meet his gaze.Maxwell reached out, his fingers gently brushing through her hair. "Jennifer, do you still love me?" he asked in a hoarse voice. Jennifer

Having said that, Jennifer hurriedly got into her car without waiting for Maxwell's response. Once inside, she could still feel her heart racing. That was a close call! Did her expression give anything away? She hoped Maxwell hadn't noticed.Because of that incident, Jennifer ended up being late to work that morning. She even missed the introduction of a new colleague during the morning meeting. She had planned to introduce herself later. But to Jennifer's surprise, the young, attractive doctor who seemed about her age, approached her. "Hello, Dr. Susan. I'm Dr. Hailey Brooks," Hailey said confidently as she extended her hand. "I joined the cardiac surgery department because of you, but I'm confident I'll outshine you in the future."Jennifer was momentarily stunned. Who would introduce themselves like that? Wasn't this a blatant provocation? Despite the audacity, Jennifer responded with grace. She shook Hailey's hand and replied, "I've read your articles in several prestigio

Jennifer offered a gentle smile and reassured Jasper, "It's okay. There's always someone better, but you did really well on your first day!""Yes, and Dad brought gifts for all the kids, so everyone likes me," Jasper answered, clearly happier than ever.Seeing him get along so well with Jennifer, Maxwell felt immensely satisfied.Right then, Jasper suddenly asked, "Dad, can we go to the amusement park this weekend? It would be great if Dr. Susan could join us too!"Maxwell wasn't about to let this precious opportunity slip by. He patted Jasper's head and said, "But you'll need to check with Dr. Susan to see if she can join us. If she can't make it, then we won't go."Initially, Jennifer wanted to decline. After all, she finally found some downtime and wanted to bring Cassidy and Caleb out.Yet, Jasper held her hand and pleaded, "Dr. Susan, could we go together? Dad doesn't usually let me go to the amusement park. He says it's too dirty, and I haven't been there in such a long tim

Rachel was taken aback and immediately said, "What? I can't believe this, Jasper! Are you seriously going to the amusement park with that woman? Have you forgotten everything I told you?""Mom, Dr. Susan isn't a bad person. She hasn't hurt me," Jasper countered softly."So, you want her to be your stepmother, huh?" Rachel snapped, her frustration boiling over. "Don't you want your dad and me to get back together? After everything I've sacrificed for you, you're turning your back on me already? It's only been a few days since I left!"Jasper let out a deep sigh. "But you and Dad always taught me to keep my promises. I'm not turning my back on you. It's just that I've already agreed to go to the amusement park with Dad and Dr. Susan, and I can't go back on my word."Rachel was livid and ended the call abruptly. She couldn't believe that Jennifer had managed to win over Jasper so quickly.This bitch was clearly trying to manipulate Jasper for her own gain. Was Jennifer planning to us

Right then, Jennifer received a call from the private investigator's office. She had assumed it was news about the case she had entrusted to them. But to her surprise, she was informed that the surveillance system at Nimbus Lounge was highly secured and impenetrable from the outside unless access was granted internally.After hanging up, Jennifer felt utterly lost. She had a strong feeling that Rachel was involved in the past events, and she had to find the evidence.If Rachel were truly responsible for the assault, Jennifer would make sure she paid dearly for it.…Meanwhile, Nathan had brought Cassidy and Caleb over to Jennifer's place. Cassidy, brimming with excitement, told her mother that Nathan and Frida had taken them to the movies. "Mommy, look at all these new dresses Grandma Frida got me!" Cassidy exclaimed, flaunting her new outfits.She asserted, "You can't get mad at me, okay? I didn't ask for them. Grandma Frida bought them because she thought I looked adorable

A chilling smile lingered on Jennifer's lips as she said, "I'll make sure he has no chance to strike back."Suddenly, the thought of the Nimbus Lounge incident came back to her. Despite spending a fortune on a private investigator, they hadn't been able to access the old surveillance footage, leaving her with no results.Now, Jennifer had no choice but to ask Nathan for help. "Dr. Lowe, do you know any skilled hackers?""A hacker? What do you need a hacker for?" Nathan asked in confusion.Jennifer didn't want to disclose the disgraceful incident from years ago. Even though she had lost her memory, it still cast a shadow over her life."I can't explain right now, but if you know any skilled hackers, could you introduce them to me? This could be really helpful. It might even be the ace I need to take down Rachel," she replied seriously."Sure, I can help with that." Nathan reached out and gently patted her head. "If you don't want to share the details, that's fine. But remember, le

Rachel froze, confusion written all over her face. "You think this is all there is? I'm convinced Jennifer has regained her memories! Why else would she leave Nathan and come between us?"Maxwell's face was devoid of any emotion, marked only by indifference. Stunned by his composure, Rachel asked in disbelief, "You knew all along, didn't you? Then why are you still so stubborn? Jennifer has changed! She doesn't genuinely care about you anymore. Can't you see that? If you don't believe me, go ahead and ask Laura!""That won't be necessary," Maxwell replied coldly. "Even if she met up with her old friend, it doesn't mean she remembered anything. For all we know, Laura might have just bumped into Jennifer by chance, like we did."And even if she does remember, I owe her that much. If she hates me, so be it."Rachel couldn't believe it. A man as proud as Maxwell was willing to humble himself to such a degree for Jennifer. Although the truth was right before him, he still chose to dec

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

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
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
