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

When Preston announced the decision, Hailey turned red with anger. While all the other colleagues congratulated Jennifer, Hailey glared at her, unable to force a smile. What made her even more envious was the fact Maxwell came in with a large bouquet of roses to congratulate her. A wealthy and romantic man like him was bound to rouse jealousy.Jennifer quickly closed the office door, not wanting to be the subject of gossip. She frowned at Maxwell. "Don't you know there's enough rumors about me? Everyone says I got the position because of you. And now you're here. Are you that eager to have me be the center of attention?"Maxwell smirked and approached her with a devilish smile. "I want all the women to envy you, and I want to make you the happiest woman in the world."Jennifer still wasn't used to his affection. Deep down, she resisted the idea of being with him again. She knew their game would come to an end once Maxwell was done with the wedding preparations."By the way, the w

"She did." Jasper nodded solemnly.Maxwell pushed, "What did she say?"Jasper took a voice recorder out of his pocket and handed it to Maxwell. Following Rachel's instructions, he explained, "Mom said that one of her student's parents worked as a maid for the Lowe family. You'll understand everything once you listen to what's on the recorder."Maxwell looked at the voice recorder, unsure of what tricks Rachel was playing this time. He turned it on, and the recording left him stunned.The recording was about when Jennifer visited the Lowe family. It included the conversation between Jennifer and the Lowes, as well as more intimate ones with Nathan. Frida sounded very pleased with Jennifer, urging them to finalize their wedding plans. Moreover, the recording captured a private conversation between Jennifer and Nathan.Jennifer said, "Dr. Lowe, thank you for believing and waiting for me. I promise you, we'll leave once I settle all matters with Maxwell. I won't let you worry anymore.

Jennifer's heart began to race as a bad feeling welled up within her. Her instincts told her that something was off with Maxwell.His eyes looked hazy from the alcohol as he gazed at her. "The wedding dress is ready, and the wedding preparations are almost complete. What about you? Are you ready to become my wife?"Jennifer was taken aback and forced a smile. "Why are you asking this all of a sudden? Did something happen?""Can't I… ask?" Maxwell suddenly grabbed her chin. "Is this question so hard to answer? Is becoming my wife something you need to struggle with?"Jennifer realized that Maxwell must have found out something. Otherwise, he wouldn't be acting this way. She immediately struggled free from his grip and looked at him warily. "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't touch me."Maxwell laughed, his eyes bloodshot and his laughter tinged with sorrow. "So, you finally dropped the act. Jennifer, why don't you keep pretending!"He was practically yelling at this

Jennifer sneered. "I should be asking you that! What were you thinking when you hurt me over and over again and forced me to move to another country because of that woman? Now that you have her, and you have a child with her, you want to turn around and have me too? Maxwell, you think this is a joke?"Anger flared up in Maxwell's gaze. He stormed over and yanked Jennifer toward him. "You stupid woman! I've been too nice to you and you took advantage of that! You crossed my line again and again because you know I like you! If that's what you think of me, fine, I'll oblige you!"The next moment, he grabbed her face and bit down on her lips. The strong taste of alcohol filled Jennifer's mouth, while Maxwell's hands restlessly tried to unbutton her clothes.But Jennifer was filled with a newfound strength and broke free from his grip. Blood stained the corners of Jennifer's mouth, but her eyes were filled with determination. She glared at him. "Maxwell, I will fight you if you dare to l

The house was filled with laughter. The two children were happily playing while Nathan prepared dinner.Jennifer smiled helplessly. "Dr. Lowe, you didn't need to cook for us. We have a housekeeper for that.""But I want to cook for you," Nathan said. "I made your and Cass' favorite mushroom soup. Go wash your hands."Unfortunately, Jennifer was still distracted by what had happened at Maxwell's place.Nathan noticed her unusual demeanor and grew concerned. "What's wrong? You look pale."Jennifer didn't want to hide anything from him and sighed. She sat at the table and mumbled, "Maxwell… He knows."Nathan paused and asked nervously, "What does that mean? Does he know you're seeking revenge?""Yes." Jennifer sighed and told Nathan about what happened at Maxwell's house.Nathan listened with a horrified expression and immediately checked her over. "He just let you go? Are you… hurt?""No." Jennifer rubbed her temple and smiled. "Dr. Lowe, do you also think I'm useless? I've been

Jennifer realized it was already late. She had slept so soundly that she hadn't heard Laura ringing the doorbell.She jumped out of bed to let Laura in."What on earth is going on?" Laura stormed in and plopped down on the couch. "Why is Maxwell marrying Rachel? Isn't he supposed to be head over heels for you?"Jennifer was stunned and looked at her in confusion."You didn't know?" Laura immediately pulled out her phone and showed Jennifer a post. "Look at this. Lance Group has announced that Maxwell and Rachel will hold their wedding at the beginning of next month. I can't believe it. Those two ended up together! Where's the karma?"Jennifer felt dazed when she saw the news but quickly came to her senses. A proud person like Maxwell would never tolerate having his dignity toyed with. He probably wanted to show her that he could marry someone else even if he didn't marry her.Laura looked at her curiously. "What happened? You're making me anxious."Jennifer recounted the events.

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

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

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

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

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

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
