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
Hailey felt awkward and forced a smile. "I can see you genuinely like Susan. But Susan might not be loyal to you. After all, I often see Dr. Lowe visiting Susan at her office and staying there for a long time."Maxwell furrowed his brows. Ever since the incident with Yeager Group, he had completely dismissed any doubts about Jennifer. But Nathan was different since he had been pursuing Jennifer for some time. Even if Jennifer didn't like him, Nathan might still cling to her. However, Maxwell couldn't let others know about it.He shot Hailey a cold look. "Nathan and Susan are colleagues and he was also her mentor. Isn't it normal for them to discuss work?""You're so nice, Mr. Lance." Hailey mocked him sarcastically. "Dr. Lowe has applied to teach at Haven University, but he still comes over every other day and spends time in her office. I think working at the university is just a cover to make you drop your guard."Maxwell snorted. "Susan is always busy with work. Do you have nothi
Jennifer gave Hailey a weird smile. "It should be whoever is most capable."Hailey narrowed her eyes. She was a doctoral graduate from a prestigious university and had entered the hospital with a high ranking. Though she was young, there was no rule stating that a young person couldn't become a director. If Susan were to become the director, Hailey would have to constantly defer to her.Hailey had noticed that Susan didn't seem eager to impress the higher-ups, so she assumed Susan wouldn't compete for the position. Hailey smiled. "The director role isn't just about capabilities! It also requires connections and a background to help the hospital grow. My family has some influence in the medical industry and can contribute to the hospital."Jennifer glanced at her indifferently. "Dr. Brooks, you might as well have 'I want to be the director' written on your face. But I doubt the hospital would entrust the position to someone who hasn't been here long.""And what about you? How long h
