You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 72
Maxwell was dressed in a dark-colored suit. He walked into the room, exuding a fearful aura. Jennifer never expected him to come here to the Yale residence, especially during such a helpless moment for her too.Quentin clearly hadn't understood what was going on. He yelled at Jennifer. "You can either go back home with me tonight or get on your knees and apologize! I've already decided to take you for myself, so you'd better not ruin this further for yourself!""How bold." Maxwell walked toward Quentin, his eyes cold and sharp. He was a head taller than Quentin, making him seem all the more domineering.Agnes kept on shooting Jocelyn looks, too frightened to say a word.Jocelyn knew things were really serious now, so she quickly said, "It's all a misunderstanding! I'll just tell you the truth now since you're here, Mr. Maxwell. Jennifer told us there were some issues in your marriage, so she sought our help to find a better man in order to divorce you. Her grandmother cares deeply

Quentin quickly clambered up and ran toward the entrance. As he cupped his face, he yelled out, "Just you wait! I'm going to get you next time!"Maxwell didn't run after Quentin, as it would be insulting to someone of his status to fight with the latter in such a manner. Maxwell had only taught Quentin that brief lesson earlier because he was furious upon seeing the slap mark on Jennifer's cheek.After Quentin ran away, both Agnes and Jocelyn deflated. They felt like they were in deep trouble now.Agnes hesitated for a moment before saying, "That was all just a misunderstanding, Mr. Maxwell. I'm sure there's been a misunderstanding between us and Jennifer as well. Why don't you have a seat? I'll have a pot of tea prepared for you. After all, a family needs to have a strong bond, right?""My only family here is my wife." Maxwell looked down upon Agnes and Jocelyn. "I can let go of what happened today if my wife doesn't pursue the matter. But if she does, prepare to suffer the conseq

Jennifer felt incredibly upset afterward and continued walking aimlessly forward.Maxwell's heart ached at the sight. He went and enveloped her in his arms without a second thought. He caressed her hair and kept her head tucked against his chest, murmuring, "I… I wasn't wholly putting up an act earlier."Jennifer's shoulders were quaking slightly in his grasp.Every word Maxwell said echoed in her heart, making her tremble uncontrollably. Jennifer looked up, gazing at him through tearful eyes. "I nearly thought what you said at the Yale residence earlier was all true. But we still have to be realistic, don't we?"Maxwell looked at her, feeling upset as she cried. He gently wiped her tears away and said, "Even if we're not together anymore in the future, I still wouldn't be able to bear to see anyone hurting you. No one can force you to do anything you don't want to do, not even the Yale family themselves."Jennifer only felt more upset the more Maxwell spoke.He said they would

Maxwell never cared about Jennifer's family nor asked about it. Yet now he was trying to understand her better. Jennifer smiled at the thought and said, "I can tell you if you really want to know.""I'd like that. I'm kinda curious now." Maxwell smiled lightly.Jennifer sighed and began reminiscing about the past."My mom and dad divorced when I was 12. Their relationship prior was really strong, but because my mother was a pretty independent woman and was often busy with work at the hospital, she wasn't able to be at home a lot. That made my grandmother dislike her because my grandmother believed that women should stay at home to serve their husbands."One day, Jocelyn Logan came knocking on our door. My father admitted that he wasn't able to control himself that one time and ended up sleeping with Jocelyn, who ended up getting pregnant with Bridget but she never told my father."Maxwell silently listened to Jennifer as he drove. All happy marriages shared a similar storyline;

Even if Maxwell knew the truth, there was no possible way that their marriage could continue anymore.So, Jennifer shook her head. "I've already forgotten what he looked like. But ever since that happened, I grew out of my low self-esteem and learned to accept my parents' divorce. Everyone makes mistakes. Even though my father made a mistake, he still took great care of me and made sure I never suffered. He would never sit by and let my stepmother and sister push me around."My Dad would take care of me throughout the night if I was sick. When I missed Mom, he'd bring me to the hospital to see her in person. That was why I chose to forgive him in the end. Now that my mother has passed, my father is the only person whom I'm related to by blood."Maxwell's eyes seemed hazy as he said in a bittersweet way, "You're far more blessed than I was, then."Jennifer had vaguely heard about how Maxwell's mother had been forced to leave their family by his father and stepmother. Maxwell's mothe

"But how would Jennifer possibly let us off easy given how much she hates us?" Bridget asked fearfully. "She'll definitely complain to Dad about us. I bet she'll make him kick us out of the house!"Both mother and daughter were incredibly anxious now, pacing back and forth in the house.The ambulance soon arrived and took both Agnes and Quentin to the hospital.Bridget and Jocelyn paid for the medical fees while complaining about their failed plan. Just then, Bridget suddenly felt nauseous and began dry heaving, leaning against the wall for support.Jocelyn asked anxiously, "What's wrong, dear? Did you eat something stale?""I'm okay. I've just been easily nauseous lately," Bridget said.Both mother and daughter were too preoccupied with their present situation, so neither gave too much thought to Bridget's condition.…Two days later, Zion returned from his business trip to the neighboring city. Agnes happened to be discharged from the hospital on the same day.Quentin remain

Zion knew his daughter had a temper. But though she'd been pampered since young, she wasn't someone who would start trouble for no reason.So, Zion gazed suspiciously at his wife and asked, "Are you sure you two just got into an argument? Could it also be that Quentin's company went bankrupt because of his poor management instead of Maxwell being the one who caused it?"As far as Zion knew, Jennifer and Maxwell's marriage was not stable even though it was official. Would he have actually come to Jennifer's defense?Jocelyn nodded certainly. "I'm very sure! If you don't believe us, you can go see how bad a state Quentin is in at the hospital yourself!"Agnes took the opportunity to mention Quentin's demands. "Zion, regardless of everything, Jennifer remains in the wrong in this situation. How could we let the matter cease now that Quentin's ended up with broken legs and a bankrupt company?"Zion sighed and said, "If Jennifer really is responsible for this matter, then we should rig

Now Jennifer understood what was going on. So, Jocelyn and the rest of them had framed her in front of her father.Jennifer's smile disappeared as she asked coldly, "What did you say Maxwell did again?""He made Jocelyn's cousin's company go bankrupt and broke both of his legs!" Zion gazed at his daughter and said, "You've really disappointed me! Now the cousin is demanding five million dollars as compensation! "My company hasn't been doing very well lately and now that you've caused such trouble, I have no choice but to go along with his demands! I'm an old man now, Jennifer. Can't you at least give me peace of mind?"Jennifer looked at her father in shock. She hadn't been notified of whatever her father just said happened.She'd thought that Maxwell had just let things go after teaching Quentin a listen the other day. She didn't know more had transpired afterward. What was more shocking was the fact that Quentin was demanding five million dollars from her father!Jennifer said

Miguel sighed, cursing himself inwardly for his stupidity. How had it taken him this long to piece it all together? The last name "Moore" wasn't common to begin with. When Simon started appearing in his life again after all these years, he should have connected the dots sooner.If he had, Simon's obsession with his refusal to take Harry's case would have been obvious.Simon's piercing, oppressive gaze bore into Miguel as he closed the distance between them. "What do you know about my father's death? How much do you know? Tell me!" he demanded. His voice was low, but it carried a dangerous edge. For a split second, Miguel's mind went blank. But a moment later, he yelled, "I don't know! Stop asking! Simon, don't forget. I'm your mentor. No matter how successful you are now, this isn't how you talk to me!"But Miguel's reaction gave Simon all the confirmation he needed. Clearly, the former knew something about Anthony's death. Yet, infuriatingly, he still wouldn't talk.Simon le

Laura's face clouded with worry. "So, what do we do now?""That's not your problem to solve. It's his," Simon replied. "The stalker's been caught, so there's nothing for you to fear anymore. Just carry on with your life. Leave Jonah to me."Even so, unease lingered. But Laura didn't want to deal with Jonah anymore. She had explained things to him countless times, always trying to reason with him.She never imagined he would go to such extremes and frighten her like this. So, this time, she decided not to intervene. Simon was experienced in handling situations like these, after all.…The next day, Simon went straight to Miguel's law firm. He wasted no time delivering the news of Jonah's arrest and outlined the events leading up to it in detail.Miguel's face drained of color upon hearing that."This can't be true!" he exclaimed, his voice laced with disbelief. "Jonah has always been well-behaved. He'd never do something like this! Simon, there must be some mistake."Simon's t

Almost immediately, Laura pulled out her camera and snapped a photo of the couple on the field. She figured she could ask Britney to write a small feature about it to fill some space in the paper.The young man knelt on one knee, holding out a ring as he asked, "Will you marry me?"On the other hand, the woman was overwhelmed. Tears streamed down her face, and she couldn't even manage a coherent response.Around them, the crowd erupted with cheers. "Say yes! Say yes!" they chanted.Laura stood silently, her eyes glistening as tears clung to her lashes. She envied the woman. There was nothing more beautiful than being proposed to by someone you loved and knowing you were cherished. Unfortunately, that kind of happiness would never be hers.Her choice to be with Simon came with a cost—she had to keep their relationship hidden. She had willingly let go of any hope of a public future with him, of sharing their happiness openly. One day, perhaps soon, Simon would stage a grand pr

Simon hummed softly before explaining, "The police retrieved the surveillance footage, but it wasn't enough to prove anything. Now that he's taken photos of us, we have solid evidence. This confirms he's been stalking and secretly photographing us."Only then did Laura understand why he had asked her out. The excitement that had been bubbling within her vanished instantly at that realization.She pulled her hand away from his, her voice tinged with disappointment as she said, "So, this is why you wanted to watch the fireworks. Well, now that we've got the evidence, can we go home?"But to her surprise, Simon took her hand again, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Who says we can't gather evidence and enjoy the fireworks at the same time?"Laura froze momentarily. He had a point.In the end, they went to Botanical Garden as planned. The fireworks show was just beginning when they arrived. On top of that, Simon had made arrangements beforehand. So, the garden's director personall

Laura blinked innocently and answered, "I was talking about myself."Simon fixed his gaze on her, narrowing his eyes slightly. "Should I call Alex over right now? You can ask him directly if he's willing to accept you."Laura hadn't expected to shoot herself in the foot again, and her face turned red from his teasing. Flustered, she shoved him away. "Oh, come on! I was joking!"I was asking on behalf of Britney. You know, my colleague. If Alex is single, why not let them give it a shot? Britney's great. She's cheerful and kind. They seem like a good match."Simon finally let out a scoff. "You've got a knack for worrying about everyone, don't you?"She pushed him toward his desk and replied, "Alright, that's enough. You should get back to work. I'll tell Britney and have Alex give her a ride back. It's a perfect opportunity for them to spend some time together."With that, Simon sat back down in front of his computer and got back to work.At the same time, Laura texted Britney, a

"No problem, Laura," Alex replied before shifting his gaze to Britney.Then, he shyly said, "Let me show you around our firm. That way, if you guys ever work with us again, you'll have a better sense of how we operate."Britney, ever cheerful and outgoing, flashed a bright smile. "Sounds great! Let's go!"A satisfied smile tugged at Laura's lips as she watched them chat. With that, she entered Simon's office.Work was something both Simon and Laura took seriously. Moreover, the Brooks Group workplace fatality case weighed heavily on her heart.She couldn't shake her frustration and confusion about why Simon had taken the case, but she had a job to do. Setting her personal feelings aside, she switched into professional mode and began asking her questions.This time, Simon didn't make things difficult for her. He answered each question thoroughly and without hesitation. Toward the end of the interview, Laura asked a pointed question that hadn't been part of her original script.

The station chief reviewed the surveillance footage and explained to Simon personally, "His last known location was at the dormitory building of Haven University. He went inside, but unfortunately, there were no cameras in the restrooms."We believed he changed his clothes and shoes before leaving. Our initial assessment is that he's likely a student at the university. But for now, the trail's gone cold. I'd say he's good at avoiding being tracked. At this point, we don't have enough evidence to bring him in."Simon nodded in response. Now, he was nearly certain of the stalker's identity. "Alright, I think I know who it is. Thank you for your hard work."The station chief hurriedly replied, "Oh, Mr. Moore, no need to thank us! We'll be needing your expertise down the line. Helping each other is what we do."…At the studio, Laura sat in her office, texting Simon to check if there were any updates on the stalker.However, all he replied was, "They're still investigating."The cor

"Mr. Moore…" Laura let out a sigh. After a moment's hesitation, she couldn't hold back any longer. "I really feel for the victim in the Brooks Group's workplace fatality case. Does the Brooks family even care about that small amount of money? One million dollars is just pocket change to them, but to another family, it's everything."Simon showed no emotion as he replied, "Mind your own business."Laura pouted but quickly relented. "So, do you have time tomorrow? My boss said we need to follow up on the progress of the Brooks Group case as soon as possible. Can you—"Before she could finish her sentence, Simon suddenly shut his laptop, set it aside, and leaned toward her.He fixed his gaze on the terrified Laura. His handsome face came dangerously close, stopping just inches from hers. Then, he said, "Well, as long as you behave and stop testing my patience."While unbuttoning her pajama top, he added, "Otherwise, with everything I've got going on, why should I take time to help

Simon pressed Laura against the wall and kissed her.Yet, this was what hurt her the most. He had never cared whether she wanted it or not. In fact, there were so many unresolved issues between them. However, Simon seemed utterly indifferent and showed no intention of addressing them. He kissed Laura for a while. Just when she thought he might take things to the next level, he abruptly stopped.Simon's breathing was unsteady, his voice low and hoarse as he said, "Go take a shower. I've got work to do and can't keep messing with you."It was only then Laura realized he had drawn her in. Now that he had stopped, her cheeks still burned, and she couldn't shake the lingering pull of desire he'd stirred.Simon seemed to notice her unease. He then asked with a smirk, "Or would you rather continue?"Laura's heart skipped a beat. She quickly pushed him away and lowered her head. "I'll go shower."As he stared at her retreating figure, the lust in Simon's gaze gradually faded. In the
