You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 811
Maxwell wanted to look at Jennifer a little longer, as if doing so would allow him to remember her forever."Jennifer, I'm truly sorry for hurting you."Maxwell's lips twisted into a wry smile as he added, "If I were in your shoes, I probably wouldn't forgive someone like me either. Everything that's happened today is my fault; it's the punishment I deserve. But I'm grateful for the chance to step up and protect you, just like Nathan did.""No! Maxwell, don't do this! I don't want things to end like this!"Tears streamed down Jennifer's face as she pleaded desperately, "I don't blame you anymore. I forgive you! Please, don't listen to her. Put down the knife!"But Maxwell didn't lower the knife. Instead, he said with a smile, "You have to believe that, no matter what, I'll step up to protect you without hesitation. Nathan isn't the only one who can do this—I can, too."Rachel couldn't stand it any longer, her eyes blazing with resentment. She was convinced Maxwell was deliberatel

At the hospital, Maxwell was rushed to the emergency room, his breathing shallow and faint.The on-call doctor examined the X-ray, their voice tense as they said, "This doesn't look good. The knife is dangerously close to his heart. If we pull it out and hit a blood vessel, he could die instantly!"Jennifer overheard her colleagues debating whether to operate. But if they didn't, Maxwell would surely die. Jennifer's voice cut through the room, silencing the ongoing debate. "Prepare for surgery. I'll do it.""Dr. Susan?" The other doctors stared at her in shock. "Have you seen the X-ray? This surgery is extremely risky. One wrong move, and—""Then we'll just have to be careful!" Jennifer cut them off. "Surgery is the only option."With that, the team scrambled to get everything ready. Every second counted.Before Jennifer entered the operating room, Michael asked with concern, "Mrs. Lance, are you sure you're up for this? After everything you've been through today, I'm worried—"

Michael cast a cautious glance at Jennifer, wary that she might be too sensitive and get upset.But Jennifer nodded calmly. "Go ahead."With that, Michael spoke up. "I've known for a long time what kind of person Rachel is. The issue is, she's Mr. Lance's first love, and he trusts her. With her manipulative ways, it's why he let you down. "Honestly, watching everything Mr. Lance did was hard for me too. Sometimes, I even thought he deserved it for being foolish enough to choose Rachel."Jennifer remained silent, listening intently.Michael continued, "Over the years, Mr. Lance has had us searching everywhere and never gave up. Not only did you lose your memory, but you also changed your name and altered your resume. Dr. Lowe hid you away so well that we never even imagined you'd become the renowned Dr. Susan."As for why Mr. Lance kept Rachel around, it's because he believed Jasper was his son. Kids need their mothers to feel secure."Jennnifer lowered her gaze slightly and rep

If the weight of Zion's death didn't hang over them, maybe Jennifer could have forgiven Maxwell after everything that had happened.But if he had truly been responsible for her father's death, she could never spend the rest of her life with a man who was her enemy.Michael's gaze grew distant as he recalled the past. "There was a time when Mr. Yale came to the office a few times to meet with Mr. Lance. They spoke privately in his office, so I don't know exactly what was said."But I really don't think Mr. Lance had anything to do with your father's death. He even risked sanctions from the board to help your father's company through a crisis. Besides, what could have possibly been between them that would drive Mr. Lance to eliminate your father?""But Rachel showed me a video of him on the phone with someone. While he didn't say anything explicitly, it was clear he knew the truth behind my father's suicide," Jennifer countered.Michael shook his head. "You know very well what kind

"I did it to save my life! But I'll never acknowledge you as my brother. You and Rachel are just two of a kind!" Jennifer shot back.At that moment, she just wanted Hugo out of sight, so she added, "By the way, you do know you and Rachel have a son, right? He's in an orphanage right now. Maybe you should go find him instead of wasting your time here."Hugo sneered at the mention of Jasper. "Don't talk about that woman! She betrayed me and left a bastard behind. I want nothing to do with a child like him. Let him fend for himself!""Is this how all men are? You don't even want to acknowledge your own flesh and blood?" Jennifer asked, staring at him in disbelief.Hugo clenched his teeth and spat, "Blame him for having the wrong mother!"Jennifer pressed her lips together. "Forget it. I don't care about your problems. Do whatever you want. Just leave. There's nothing more to say between us."Seeing his sister treat him so differently cut deep. But what really stung was the fact that

In the ward, Jennifer sat quietly by the bedside. She had no desire to ponder her true identity. It felt like a matter of the older generation. What did it have to do with her?Her gaze fell on Maxwell, who was still unconscious. The confidence she had felt after the successful surgery had gradually morphed into a deep-seated worry and despair.Hugo's unexpected visit and his unsettling comment about a "lifeless man" only heightened her anxiety. She couldn't bear to think any further."Maxwell, please wake up." Jennifer's eyes were red and puffy as she choked out, "I can't hold on much longer. If you wake up, I promise I won't hold anything against you. Just come back to me!""Really?"A weak voice startled her, and her eyes widened in shock. She looked down at Maxwell and saw the corners of his lips curved slightly.Though his eyes stayed shut, there was an unmistakable awareness about him, as if he feared missing her promise.Joy flooded through her as she burst into tears. "M

Hugo thought about everything, and the rush of satisfaction that came from revenge surged within him."Get the jet ready," he told Shaun. "We'll need to leave at any moment. We're going to send the old man off on his final journey."…After Maxwell woke up, Jennifer took time off work to stay by his side every day at the hospital.Thanks to her devoted care, his strength gradually returned. Two weeks later, he was able to get out of bed and walk on his own.…That day, Jennifer brought Caleb and Cassidy to visit Maxwell. The kids had no idea how close their parents had come to real danger.Seeing Maxwell in his hospital gown, Cassidy asked with curiosity, "Daddy, why are you and Mommy taking turns staying in the hospital? Are you playing a game?"The question caught Jennifer off guard, leaving her momentarily speechless. Just as she was about to explain, Maxwell chuckled. "Yes, we're just playing a game.""I want to play too!" Cassidy squealed as she rushed toward him, her arm
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 818
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Jennifer glared at Maxwell. She didn't want to relive the tense moment of operating on him again.She knew all too well he was taking advantage of her compassion.Maxwell noticed her indignation and reluctance to scold him, and he chuckled. "Why don't you help me shower? You've seen everything there is to see. I'm not shy.""You're a pervert!" Jennifer huffed.But ultimately, she relented. She couldn't let him shower alone. If his wound got wet, she'd have to work harder to save him.…In the steamy bathroom, Jennifer's cheeks burned with embarrassment. She couldn't tell if it was from the heat or her discomfort in the situation. She tried to avoid looking at his body, but inevitably, her gaze landed where it shouldn't have.Maxwell found her cautious demeanor amusing. He couldn't help but burst out laughing, even if it tugged at his wounds."What's so funny?" Jennifer glared at him. "If you keep this up, you can shower on your own. If you get

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
