You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 801
Laura's words struck Jennifer hard. Jennifer knew it too. But she couldn't bring herself to do it. Every time she thought of Nathan, who sacrificed himself for her, she couldn't bring herself to continue living.Despite Laura's persuasion, Jennifer barely reacted. She remained disheartened, unable to cheer up.After leaving the hospital room, Laura glared at Maxwell. "I'll stay and take care of her. You should leave. Right now, the people she hates most are you and Rachel. No matter what, Dr. Lowe's death is tied to both of you."Maxwell frowned at her request for him to leave. "Are you sure Simon will let you stay away for this long?"Laura grew visibly embarrassed. She knew all of Simon's friends looked down on her because they knew about her relationship with him. That was why Maxwell used Simon to pressure her.As they spoke, Simon's call came through. He was asking her to accompany him to golf with a business partner. Of course, Laura didn't want to go, but she had no choice

Jennifer's words pierced Maxwell's heart.His eyes filled with sorrow and he smiled bitterly. "It's fine. It's okay if you don't forgive me. Just take care of yourself and don't take your anger out on Cassidy and Caleb. They used to think they had no father, but now that they finally have one, would you really let them lose their mother? What did those two children do to deserve this?"These words filled Jennifer with guilt. Yes, what did those two children do wrong? Was it simply because they had Maxwell's blood flowing through their veins?Even so, Jennifer still couldn't get over her struggle. Every time she saw Maxwell and the children, she felt as though she was betraying Nathan.Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door.Maxwell thought it was the nurse coming to change the IV, so he went to open the door, only to find Frida standing there."You... Why are you here?" Maxwell was surprised. Was Frida here to get revenge on Jennifer? He nervously asked, "Is something wr
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 803
Frida sighed and stood up. "Let the past be the past. I only came to forgive you after I read Nathan's diary. Since my son believed you were someone worthy of love, you must be."Jennifer held the diary but couldn't find the right words. Frida patted her shoulder. "Goodbye, Jennifer."With that, Frida left the room.Meanwhile, Maxwell stood outside the door listening to their conversation. Frida's grace was enough to shock him. Although Maxwell and Nathan were rivals, he now respected the Lowe family.When Frida came out, they exchanged glances. Maxwell lowered his head. "I'm sorry. I'm largely responsible for this. I will do my best to catch the culprit and bring Dr. Lowe to justice."Frida sighed. "Timing is important in life. Nathan might not have lost to you If he'd met Jennifer first."With that, Frida finally left.…Since Frida's visit, Jennifer's condition had improved. Although she still treated Maxwell as an enemy, her maternal love for the two children had returned
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 804
Jennifer didn't share her thoughts with Maxwell because she didn't want to speak to him. Fortunately, Maxwell silently cared for the two children and her, and he never forced her into anything.On the day of her discharge, Preston visited her. "Dr. Susan, I heard you're being discharged."Preston smiled. "What will you do next?"Jennifer knew that Preston was here for a reason. There were still patients waiting for Nathan's surgeries. Such complex procedures could only be performed by Nathan. Now that he passed, she, as his student, should complete the unfinished tasks.Jennifer calmly replied, "Dr. Gardner, I will return to work tomorrow and handle Dr. Lowe's tasks."Preston sighed in relief. After all that happened, he worried that Jennifer might refuse to work. He didn't know how he would explain to the patients then.After being discharged, Jennifer didn't return to Maxwell's villa but returned to her apartment. Maxwell brought the two children to her as he couldn't help but
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 805
Just then, Maxwell walked over with Caleb. "I won't disturb you. I just want to stay closer so I can feel at ease."Caleb quickly chimed in, "Mommy, this is great! Even when we're with Daddy, we can see you anytime."Jennifer looked at Maxwell helplessly, shocked that Maxwell had bought a house next door. So, they became neighbors.The only benefit was that they could see the children every day and neither had to worry about the kids. At mealtimes, Maxwell would have Caleb bring her food. He would cook a different dish every day. Even though Jennifer remained indifferent, she couldn't help but be tempted by the meals.She pulled Caleb closer and quietly asked, "Does your dad not have to work?""Dad started working from home!" Caleb laughed. "He said his responsibility now is to take good care of us. He'll go back to the company when you're better."Jennifer was moved. She hated being soft-hearted. So, she deliberately pretended not to care. "Lame!"Caleb pouted and muttered, "Da

Jennifer took a deep breath and put on a calm facade. "Then let's talk. Let's discuss how many bad things you've done and how many people you've harmed!"Rachel laughed. "People I've harmed? Let me count! It's not that many. There was that child when I switched his medication. But so what? I did it to save my son. What's wrong with that? My only regret is that Nathan died instead of you."Jennifer never expected Rachel to confess so casually with no hint of remorse. After all this, it really wasn't Maxwell who switched the medication. Why hadn't she thought of that earlier?Jennifer shook her head and said resentfully, "Have you ever thought about how your son will feel if he finds out what kind of person his mother is?""No, he will never know!" Rachel smiled sinisterly. "Because you will die, and Maxwell will die too! As long as you both are dead, he will never know about this."Jennifer's eyes widened in disbelief at her. "You're insane! Rachel, what do you want?""Of course,

Rachel initially planned to carry out this task with two lackeys from Nimbus Lounge. But Shaun still found out.She snorted. "Don't forget, I'm your boss's woman! Think about Hugo's kindness. Do you think he'll forgive you if he knew you weren't helping me but were helping the police? Can you face him after this?"Shaun hesitated. Hugo had saved him from sure death, healed his illness, and brought him through life-and-death situations, nurturing him to become the second-in-command of the group. The kindness Hugo showed him was something he could never repay, even if he died.Now, Rachel and Jasper's were Hugo's only concerns. And with Jasper still missing, how could he face Hugo after this?Under Rachel's persuasion, Shaun finally made up his mind. "Alright, Ms. Walker, I'll help you one last time! But after this, you must listen to me and leave the country. It'll be too late if you don't leave!"Rachel agreed. But she knew she wouldn't be leaving after this. To make Shaun help an

Shaun looked at her in disbelief. But he soon brushed it off as a joke. "My boss has indeed been searching for his long-lost sister. But where did you hear that? How dare you pretend to be my boss's sister? Do you have a death wish?"Jennifer observed him. "Judging by the looks of it, you've probably been with your boss for quite some time. Don't you know he found me five years ago and said I might be his long-lost sister? He even did a DNA test."Shaun was stunned. He didn't know about this. There had been a period when he was severely injured during a mission and someone else took his place.Jennifer realized Shaun was her only hope of escaping. She continued, "You can ask your boss if you don't believe me. See what he says."Shaun stared at her with a complex expression. Was Jennifer really the boss's sister? If so, wasn't he helping Rachel hurt his boss's sister?Shaun gave Jennifer a conflicted look. "But the boss fell into a coma due to an accident five years ago and hasn't

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
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
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
