You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 730
Unfortunately, Laura did not reveal her situation with Simon. Jennifer had her own things to deal with, and Laura didn't want to create any more trouble for her. There were things she should endure alone.Laura wiped away her tears and forced a smile. "What secrets could I have? I was just sad at the thought of you leaving and knew how difficult it would be for us to meet. Just thinking about it makes me want to cry."Jennifer comforted her, "I told you I would visit you. Just give me a call, and I promise I'll book a ticket immediately, okay?"…Meanwhile, at the Lance Manor, Rachel was treated as the lady of the house when she returned. Aside from Martha, the maids fawned over her, eager to serve her. Rachel knew that her return was thanks to Jennifer. If Jennifer hadn't hurt Maxwell, she wouldn't have been brought back, nor would Maxwell have promised to marry her.Rachel lounged on the couch with a glass of wine. The future was truly unpredictable. The news quickly spread am

Rachel walked into the office and placed a wedding invitation on the table. She gave Jennifer a victorious look. "As Jasper's doctor, you must come to Maxwell's and my wedding!"Jennifer glanced at the invitation before sneering at Rachel. "Are you sure you'll still be able to have the wedding if I show up?"Rachel's face fell and she whispered through gritted teeth, "Jennifer, you've lost this time! Maxwell will never trust you again. No matter what tricks you pull, it won't work!"Though Jennifer was raging inside, she maintained a calm demeanor. "Ms. Walker, not everyone enjoys others' leftovers. You're welcome to have them. But I fear you might not be able to handle them.""Fine, we'll see!" Rachel's gaze sharpened. "When the time comes, I'll make sure you witness the moment I become Maxwell's wife and be admired by every woman in Haven City. Jennifer, you'll never get the things you want! Your children will never have a father!"After venting her frustrations, Rachel left the

How could Hailey call herself a doctor if she couldn't meet her patients? She would be the laughingstock of her circle if word got out!Hailey fumed. "Fine, I'll write it! But this isn't over, Susan. Just you wait!"With that, she grabbed the two complaint letters and stormed back to her desk to write the report.Jennifer didn't feel any better from dealing with Hailey. She sat at her desk, deep in thought.Over the next few days, Rachel deliberately stayed at the hospital with Jasper, hoping to disgust Jennifer. However, Jennifer never returned to Jasper's ward for rounds. Instead, she assigned other doctors to do it, while she set the medication plans.Although Rachel hated Jennifer, she had to admit that Jasper's condition had improved drastically after three treatments. She even took him to another hospital for an evaluation and found there wasn't an urgent need for a heart transplant now.Rachel never saw Jennifer even until Jasper was discharged, and she had no chance to bo

Caleb's gaze sharpened. So, Jasper's mom was Jennifer's bully. And to think he used to mingle with Jasper. He wouldn't have befriended Jasper if he had known earlier!Cassidy noticed Caleb's strange behavior and quietly asked, "Cal, what's wrong? Why are you looking at Jasper like that?" Caleb didn't respond and just sat there, sulking.Just then, the teacher said, "Did everyone fill out the family information form yesterday? Caleb, as the monitor, please collect them for me."As the monitor, Caleb naturally went to collect the forms. However, he noticed a familiar name on Jasper's form."Jasper, your dad... is Maxwell Lance?" Caleb's eyes widened in disbelief. Wasn't Maxwell the name in the paternity test from Jennifer's drawer? So, Jasper's dad was also his dad?Caleb's heart pounded against his chest.Jasper looked at him in confusion and nodded. "Yes, he's my dad. What's wrong?"Caleb's expression turned sour. So, Jasper and his mom were the reason their dad abandoned Je

Maxwell hadn't seen Jasper in a while and immediately lifted him into his arms. Caleb tilted his head, looking longingly at his dad holding another child.Jasper then remembered Caleb and introduced him, "Dad, this is my classmate. He's a big fan of yours!"Maxwell turned his gaze to Caleb. His eyes were indifferent, as he was used to parents using their children to get close to the Lance family since Jasper started school. Maxwell even wondered if this classmate approached his son with ulterior motives.Caleb noticed Maxwell's cold gaze and his heart sank. However, he didn't let his disappointment show and chirped, "Hello, Mr. Lance! I'm Jasper's friend. You're as cool as Jasper says!"His innocent and sweet voice quickly earned Maxwell's favor. Maybe it was their blood connection or the innocence of a child, but Maxwell's prejudice vanished completely.Maxwell put Jasper down and observed Caleb, noting how familiar he looked. The thought quickly passed. He patted Caleb's head. "

Caleb beamed. "Okay, I'll tell my mom."…Meanwhile, Nathan had only picked up Cassidy."We don't need to wait for Cal today, Mr. Lowe." Cassidy followed the plan Caleb had taught her. "He's going to stay at a classmate's house for a few days."Nathan was curious. "Who? Why is he suddenly staying at a friend's house?"Cassidy grinned. "Oh, Cal is really popular, and all his classmates like him. He couldn't say no to their invitation!"Nathan was still concerned. "But who is it? Isn't it too sudden for Caleb to stay at someone's house?"Cassidy blinked. "You wouldn't know them even if I told you! Don't worry, their parents really like Cal. He's good at academics, and they even want him to help tutor their child.""Alright, I get it." Nathan laughed. "You smartypants! If I were that kid's parent, I would invite the adorable Cassidy over too."Cassidy quietly sighed with relief seeing that Nathan had fallen for her lie. Now it was all up to Caleb to bring their dad back!…Rach

"What?" Rachel was surprised. "He's staying with us?"Maxwell huffed. "This is my house. Don't I get to decide? Can't you be a little more tolerant of a child?"Rachel knew Maxwell well. It was difficult to persuade him once he made up his mind. Besides, it wasn't worth offending Maxwell over a child with their wedding approaching. She forced a smile. "Anything you say. I was just worried someone might use Jasper to get close to us. But if you think the child is fine, I'll take good care of him. I'll head to the kitchen and prepare dinner to welcome him."With that, Rachel headed to the kitchen, wanting to put on a good wife persona. However, just as she reached the kitchen, she overheard two maids talking."Did you see the little boy Mr. Jasper brought home? He's so cute! I could barely resist pinching his cheeks when I brought in the juice earlier.""He's polite too. Oh, did you notice how he resembles Mr. Lance?""Now that you mention it, I see the resemblance, especially th

Caleb feigned innocence. "Yes, my mom's name is Jennifer. Do you know her too?""I knew it!" Rachel narrowed her eyes and asked through gritted teeth, "Tell me, what did she send you here for?"Caleb tilted his head. "Why should I tell you? Besides, my mom didn't send me here.""Oh, really?" Rachel pulled out her phone. "Then I'll call Jennifer and ask her if she knows her son is at my house!"Caleb panicked. He had just started his quest to find his dad, and he couldn't let it end before it began. He quickly came up with a plan. "Miss, Mr. Lance is my dad, isn't he? If you dare snitch on me, I'll tell Mr. Lance he's my dad right now! And it seems like he doesn't know this yet!"Rachel paled. She wanted to strangle this shameless brat in front of her. He was just as cunning as Jennifer!She shook with anger and clutched her phone tightly. "Nonsense! How dare you act chummy with the Lance family? Who knows who your mom slept with to have you? I'll throw you out if you keep lying!"

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
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1194
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
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

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
