You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 696
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

The person quickly inquired, "Who is it?""It's Susan, the cardiac specialist from Haven Hospital," Rachel answered, her voice laced with malice. "She just accepted Maxwell's proposal yesterday. If you can persuade her, she'll make sure you get what you're after."There was a moment of silence before the voice on the other end said, "But she's agreed to marry Maxwell. That means they're in it together, through thick and thin. How could she possibly help me?"This bid is critical for Lance Group. If it fails, Maxwell could lose all his credibility with the shareholders. What's in it for her?"Rachel sneered, "The woman in question is Maxwell's ex-wife, whom he abandoned years ago. She's back now, pretending to have lost her memory and deliberately trying to seduce him. "She's doing all this just to get revenge. Given the opportunity you're offering her, do you really think she'd pass it up?"The response came with enthusiasm. "I see it now! Ms. Walker, you're truly the wisest per

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
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
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1191
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
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1190
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
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1188
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
