With that, Hailey turned and left to do her rounds.Jennifer leaned back in her chair. She frowned as she continued to think about Caleb. Maxwell didn't contact her, and neither did Caleb. He was clearly waiting for her to come to him first.Jennifer was torn. She wasn't the one who was in the wrong, and she had been through so much. Why should she be the one to surrender?Just then, Nathan walked over and pulled up a chair beside her."Still thinking about Cal?" Nathan's voice snapped Jennifer out of her thoughts.She smiled bitterly. "Yes, I… know I shouldn't let it affect my work, but I'm too overwhelmed.""It's okay, I'm here. Let me know if you need help balancing work." Nathan's gaze was filled with concern as he softly reassured her, "Trust me, everything will work out. Don't worry too much, okay?"Jennifer's eyes watered. She seemed to be making a promise to both Nathan and herself. "I won't compromise with Maxwell, Dr. Lowe.""I believe you." Although Nathan was anxiou

Maxwell's heart broke at the sadness behind Caleb's voice. He threw the lawyer's letter into the trash and promised, "I will bring Mommy home for you tonight, okay?"Caleb seemed satisfied. But he added, "Don't make Mommy mad! Buy her some flowers and cheer her up. You should treat women kindly!"Maxwell couldn't help but laugh. Where did Caleb learn that from? He seemed to have a whole strategy in mind.After ending the call, Maxwell leaned back in his chair, racking his brain for how to bring Jennifer back. He had promised Caleb, and he couldn't break it. Then, an idea suddenly struck him, and his eyes lit up.He immediately called the principal of Golden Sands Academy. Once he revealed his identity, the principal was shocked. "Cassidy is your daughter! We would have taken extra care of her if we had known earlier!"Maxwell hummed. "I want to pick up Cassidy earlier today. Could you let her teacher know? Also, we're planning a surprise for Cassidy's mom, so there's no need to in

Maxwell couldn't believe he had to meet up with his daughter secretly. He explained, "Your mom is at work. How about we go pick her up together?"Cassidy nodded. Even though they had their dad now, they still couldn't be without their mom.With that, Maxwell held Cassidy and got into the car. He told the driver to head to Haven Hospital.Jennifer had just finished her shift and was walking out of the hospital. Maxwell told the kids to stay in the car while he quickly met her.Jennifer was preparing to confront him and couldn't believe Maxwell would look for her first. Her anger flared. "I was just about to find you! Did you receive the lawyer's letter?"Maxwell nodded. "Yes, I received it.""When are you going to return Caleb to me?" Jennifer glared at him.Maxwell stared at her. "Come home with me if you want to see the kids. I didn't give you three days to receive a lawyer's letter in return."Jennifer spoke through clenched teeth, "Don't even think about it! Then I guess I'l

"Nathan…" Natalie gave Nathan a pitying look. "Do you really trust Jennifer that much? I mean, while Mom and I like her and her kids, we will accept her if she is loyal to you. But she just got into her ex-husband's car. Has she even considered your feelings?"Nathan understood what she was implying and firmly responded, "Jennifer isn't the type of person you think she is. She definitely went with Maxwell for the kids' sake and didn't betray me."Natalie fell silent, anxiously following the car ahead. She also hoped Jennifer had her reasons and would resolve things with her ex-husband soon. After all, Nathan wasn't getting any younger, and their parents were frantic about him getting married.Their father refused to accept Jennifer in the past. But now he had come around. Natalie hoped that nothing would go wrong because it was obvious how much Nathan cared about Jennifer.…Back at Lance Manor, Martha nearly cried when she saw Jennifer. She quickly greeted her, "You're back, Mrs.

But to Jennifer's surprise, Caleb and Cassidy both hesitated.Cassidy mumbled, "Mommy, we heard what you and Daddy said."Maxwell and Jennifer exchanged glances.Caleb looked at Jennifer. "Cassidy and I both want our dad. Even though we like Mr. Lowe, he's not our real dad."Jennifer didn't expect her children would side with Maxwell.What had Maxwell done for the children in these five years? Why are they siding with him?Jennifer felt both angry and sad. She held in her tears and sternly asked, "Are you coming? If not, then stay here forever! I'm leaving!"With that, she glared at Maxwell and turned to leave.Caleb was terrified and didn't know what to do. He didn't want to lose his mother!Cassidy ran after her. "Mommy, don't go! Wait for me!"But Cassidy was new to Maxwell's house and didn't notice the steps at the entrance to the living room.She screamed as she fell forward face-first. Then, a sharp cry cut through the air.Jennifer immediately turned around and ran t
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 785
Seeing the hopeful eyes of the two children, Jennifer felt that despite all her efforts over the past five years, she still owed something to Cassidy and Caleb.Maxwell noticed she was no longer insisting on leaving and quickly said to Caleb, "What would you like to eat for lunch? I will make it for you."Caleb told Cassidy, "Dad's cooking is really good. He made lots of delicious food for me over the past few days. You can tell him whatever you want to eat!"Cassidy rubbed her hands together and asked sweetly, "Really? Then... Can I eat chicken wings, lamb chops, and ice cream cake?"Maxwell smiled and pinched Cassidy's nose. "You can. But the ice cream cake will have to wait until tonight. I'll make the other things for you now, okay?"Jennifer couldn't help but think that Maxwell was being manipulative. Leaving the ice cream cake for the evening seemed like he was tempting the kids with food to keep them here.But she didn't point it out for the sake of the children.While Ma

Nathan's gentle voice came through, "Jennifer, where are you? Should I come find you? Let's have lunch together.""Oh, no, I..." Jennifer couldn't bring herself to say she was at Maxwell's place. Instead, she made up an excuse. "I've already made plans with Laura. How about we reschedule for another day?"There was a brief silence before Nathan said dejectedly, "Alright, take care."Nathan ended the call with a pale face.Natalie had been listening to the conversation and grew angry. "What's this? She's lying about being at her ex-husband's place. This was what I was worried about. You've been treating them well, and this is how she repays your kindness? Is she planning to get back with her ex before telling you?""Stop it!" Nathan interrupted and opened the car door. "Get out."Natalie pointed at herself in surprise. "Get out? Are you out of your mind, Nathan? We should storm into that villa and ask why she lied!""Again, get out!" Nathan's face was grim, and his stern gaze int
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 787
Caleb's words stirred up waves of emotion and Jennifer felt increasingly sad and guilty toward her children. Looking at their expectant gazes, she couldn't bring herself to refuse.Maxwell was even more excited than the children seeing that she agreed.Jennifer glanced at him awkwardly. "I'll sleep with Cass. You can sleep with Cal."But Cassidy pouted. "I want to sleep with Daddy too! Mommy, can we all sleep together?"Caleb quickly chimed in, "I'll sleep in the middle with Cass, and you and Dad can sleep on either side. Dad's bed is so big!"Maxwell almost burst into laughter seeing how enthusiastic the children were. How could they be so adorable?He tried to hold back his laughter, while Jennifer was embarrassed by their enthusiasm. She firmly declined, "No, we can't sleep together. Only married couples sleep together, understand?"Caleb stared at her grimly. "How did Cass and I come about if you and Dad didn't sleep together?"Seeing Jennifer's shifting expression, Maxwell

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
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1193
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
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1191
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
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1190
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
