Rachel snorted and glanced disdainfully at her. "And I was wondering who was backing this old hag. So it was you!"Jennifer's gaze sharpened and she gritted her teeth. "Watch your mouth! Or I'll have you thrown out!"Rachel laughed. "You haven't achieved your goals yet. How dare you give me an attitude? Where's Jasper? Bring him here! Let's see who he'll side with!"Jennifer wasn't going to let Rachel have her way. She uttered coldly, "Jasper has a fever and is asleep. If you want your son to rest, I suggest you leave now. Stop embarrassing yourself!"Rachel's expression grew stern as she demanded, "What did you say? Jasper has a fever? Jennifer, what have you done to my son? He was fine when I was taking care of him. Why did he suddenly fall sick after you took over?"Jennifer narrowed her eyes and mocked, "You took good care of him? If you did such a good job, why did you beg me to treat him back then? Rachel, have you forgotten how you were begging me before!"Rachel couldn't
Rachel put on a pitiful act and sobbed, "I just wanted to see my son because I missed him. But I never expected that Jennifer would think she was the lady of the house and order Martha to throw me out! Maxwell, I heard Jasper has a fever. I'm worried. Please let me visit him."Maxwell was annoyed. "You should go back for now. Once Jasper recovers, I'll have Michael take him to you for a few days."Rachel suddenly burst into tears. "I'm his mother! Jasper has a fever and needs his mother. How can you be so heartless? Or are you covering for her for causing the fever?"Maxwell scolded, "What are you talking about? Who are you accusing?"But before Rachel could respond, Jennifer, who had always hated Rachel, spoke up. She walked over and wrapped her arm around Maxwell's triumphantly. "She is Jasper's mother, after all. Let her visit him."Rachel clenched her fists tightly, resisting the urge to rush over and slap that smug smile off Jennifer's face! Jennifer's tone was full of condes
Rachel froze as panic flashed across her face. "What… What do you mean?"Jennifer ignored her and walked over to the couch calmly. "You were the one who sent Kevin my way, right? Kevin approached you first, but you passed him to me. You assumed I had regained my memories and wanted revenge on Maxwell, so you had Kevin offer me a deal. Then, you reported this to Maxwell, thinking I would seize the opportunity to get back at him and cooperate with Kevin. That way, you could kill two birds with one stone and reap the benefits, right?"Rachel knew she was caught and hurried to defend herself. "What are you talking about? You wanted to betray Maxwell and take revenge on him, and now you're trying to pin the blame on me? Maxwell, I did follow Jennifer, but I did it for you and for the sake of the Lance family! I saw Jennifer handing over a USB drive to Kevin. There's no mistake about it!"Jennifer nodded and smiled. "Yes, I did give him a USB drive. Unfortunately, I had already altered th
Seeing that her secret was out, Rachel finally stopped pretending. She dropped to her knees before Maxwell and cried, "Fine, I admit it! But everything I did was because I didn't want you and Jasper to be taken away from me! Maxwell, please forgive me! You have to forgive me, for Jasper's sake!"Maxwell looked down at the desperate Rachel kneeling before him with disgust. He was truly disappointed. He knew Rachel had changed, but he never imagined she would become this cunning. She was despicable and vile!Maxwell suddenly remembered something and questioned her, "Tell me, was it Dr. Watkins or you who stole Jennifer's medication? Rachel, I won't believe you anymore!"Rachel's heart dropped. She could chalk up her dealing with Yeager Group to jealousy. But admitting to stealing the medication would be a death sentence. Besides, Clement had died in a plane crash, and no one could testify against her. What could they do even if she denied everything?With this in mind, Rachel swore,
Maxwell approached Jennifer and sat down beside her. His gaze was glossy as he held her silently.Jennifer hadn't betrayed him because she knew this was all part of Rachel's scheme. In truth, she wanted Maxwell to experience the pain of betrayal more than anyone else.Maxwell asked, "Jennifer, do you really not remember your past? It wouldn't matter even if you did. But I don't want to be deceived anymore. I don't know who I can trust."Jennifer suddenly chuckled. "What past? I only know what Rachel told me. Was she telling the truth? Did you kill my father, abandon me, and have a child with her?"Maxwell paused. He remembered how he had let Jennifer down, driving her to abort their child and leave him. He didn't dare to revisit those memories with her.He mumbled lowly, "No, I didn't kill your father. He really did commit suicide. Jennifer, I may not be a good man, but I would never cross that line. Otherwise, I wouldn't deserve your love."Sadness welled up within Jennifer. Had
Maxwell was pleasantly surprised. Was Jennifer signaling that she wanted to get married?Maxwell hugged her excitedly. "I can't let you have my children without marrying you. I will give you a wedding that every woman would envy. I'll make sure the whole world knows that you are my wife. Jennifer, I won't let you down this time."In stark contrast to his excitement, Jennifer felt a faint sense of melancholy and loss. For some reason, she didn't dare to look into Maxwell's eyes and hummed softly.Maxwell wanted to drive Jennifer home, but she said, "Although Rachel did what she did, Jasper is innocent. We shouldn't have let him witness that. You don't need to take me home. Go check on him. The poor child must be heartbroken."Maxwell frowned and was unsure of what to do about Jasper. But he was still concerned about him and nodded. "I'll have the driver take you home. I'll go check on him."And so, the driver took Jennifer back home.When she arrived, Nathan was playing with Cassi
Caleb hummed. "So, our dad is still alive and Mommy found him. Otherwise, why would she have a sample from him?"Cassidy's mouth dropped. "We have a dad? But Mommy said he went to another world!"Caleb sighed at how naive Cassidy was and shook his head. "She must have been lying to us!"Cassidy quickly grabbed the paternity test report. "Then let's go ask Mommy and Mr. Lowe. They'll tell us the truth!""No!" Caleb quickly stopped her and placed the report back where he found it. He flicked her forehead and whispered, "Are you stupid? There has to be a reason Mommy's been hiding this from us. Let's not say anything for now. I'll figure out why Mommy and Daddy aren't together. If Daddy isn't as good to Mommy as Mr. Lowe, then we don't need him!"Cassidy turned serious. She was silent for a long time before finally nodding. "Agreed!"Just then, the bedroom door opened. Caleb and Cassidy both jumped in surprise.Jennifer looked at them curiously. "What are you two doing in my room?
"No! You've misunderstood me, Dr. Lowe. I won't return to him even if he is innocent." Jennifer was worried that he had gotten the wrong idea. "I'll reveal the truth to him on our wedding day. I want him to understand what it's like to be abandoned and betrayed."Nathan patted her shoulder. "Alright, let's stop talking about him. It only brings us down. How about this? Come over to my place this weekend. My mom and sister will be there, and they've been wanting to meet you.""Okay." Jennifer didn't decline. She had already planned out her future. She wanted to be with Nathan and couldn't avoid his family forever. Besides, Nathan's mother was fond of Caleb and Cassidy and always took care of them. Jennifer was incredibly grateful for that. She had long wanted to thank Nathan's family in person.…The next day, Maxwell immediately contacted the best wedding planner to organize his wedding and have the bridal gown custom-made. He was eager to marry Jennifer. The thought of being wit
