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
Laura's frantic attempts to keep her composure were futile as Maxwell saw right through her.So, she tried to hold her ground, her voice steady despite the turmoil inside. "Yes, we've met. What's the issue? She's my best friend. Why shouldn't we see each other? And how did you find out? Did Jennifer tell you, or did you have someone following her?"Maxwell didn't answer her questions. Instead, he coldly countered, "So, you did meet her? Has she recalled the past, or did you fill her in?"He had set a clever trap. No matter how Laura answered, it would reveal that Jennifer knew about past events.But Laura wasn't easily fooled. After years of being a reporter, she was skilled at navigating tricky conversations. Despite Maxwell's intimidating presence, she collected herself and replied, "Yes, I did meet Jennifer, but it was at the hospital. She didn't know who I was, though I recognized her immediately."That's when I realized she had lost her memory. I had no intention of bringin
Maxwell's tone remained gentle, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.There was no way out for Jennifer. With the game underway, she had no choice but to move forward and confront it head-on.She accepted Maxwell's invitation. As she made her way to the venue, she couldn't stop thinking about her strategy.…At the same time, Hailey had her own plans for a date with Simon at the Regency Manor. Having mastered the piano from a young age, she was determined to showcase her skills today. Her goal was to show him that she was not only successful in her career but also highly skilled in many other areas.However, the manager of the Regency Manor apologized, "I'm sorry, Ms. Brooks, but we're closed to the public. The hotel has been booked for a private event today.""Booked?" Hailey was somewhat surprised. A place of this caliber wasn't something that could be reserved with money alone.Although the Brooks family had been in business for many years and had a solid financial foun
The sea of flowers seemed to fade into the background, making it feel like only Jennifer and Maxwell existed.Back in their room, a meticulously prepared dinner awaited them. However, Jennifer had lost her appetite and only managed to take a few bites.Suddenly, Maxwell reached out to stroke her cheek, asking gently, "Aren't you happy?""I'm happy," Jennifer answered with a smile. "It's just that it's my first time being proposed to, and I'm feeling a bit disoriented."Maxwell gazed intently at her and said, "If something's bothering you, please tell me, okay?"Jennifer found herself wondering about his intentions or if he was hinting at something. Was he aware of her plans, or was there a larger scheme at play?She opted for a direct approach. "Did you go see Laura today? If you have questions, just ask me directly. Don't make my friend uncomfortable."Maxwell was unfazed. With Laura's personality, she would definitely have informed Jennifer about his visit.A faint smile touc
When Jennifer arrived at work the next day, she noticed the staff in her department were avoiding her. It was clear they were discussing her behind her back.Once she was settled in her office, Hailey sauntered over with a smug smile. "Dr. Susan, I'm surprised to learn that it's not Dr. Lowe who's backing you, but Maxwell Lance, the president of Lance Group!"After returning home the previous night, Hailey contacted friends who had business dealings with Regency Manor to find out about the event that took place.To her astonishment, it turned out that Maxwell, the president of Lance Group, had rented out the entire manor to propose to Susan. The revelation stirred a deep sense of jealousy within her.Despite Hailey's best efforts, Simon had shown her little interest. Meanwhile, Jennifer had not only surpassed her in their field but also managed to attract someone as exceptional as Maxwell. For someone as fiercely competitive as Hailey, this was a bitter pill to swallow. Her v
At that moment, someone knocked on Jennifer's office door. It was Nathan.He entered with his brow deeply furrowed. "What's going on? I just returned to the department, and all the nurses were gossiping about you. Did Maxwell really propose to you?"Doesn't he know how bad this looks? Why did he make such a big show of it?"Jennifer removed the engagement ring from her finger and tossed it into her drawer. "He proposed at the Regency Manor. It was pretty private. I'm guessing Hailey spread the word, but I have no idea how she got wind of it.""Hailey?" Nathan asked with confusion. Having been away from the hospital for some time, he was out of touch with the latest department updates. Jennifer shrugged dismissively and answered, "She's just a vain and obnoxious woman, nothing more.""Whoever she is, she's been adding fuel to the fire, spreading rumors everywhere. We can't just let her do this! I overheard some nurses talking outside, and it was pretty nasty stuff," Nathan said
