You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 842
Jennifer couldn’t help but worry. What happened to the Lowe family to make Natalie say such things?…Back home, Maxwell had planned to go to the office for a meeting, but the two children begged him to teach them how to swim. Cassidy even tugged at him with such adorable persistence that Maxwell couldn’t resist.So, Maxwell rescheduled his meeting and stayed home, teaching them to swim for the entire afternoon.Caleb was a quick learner and could now swim as fast as a fish in the water. Cassidy, on the other hand, started off eager to learn. But she got scared and refused to continue no matter how much Maxwell comforted her.So, Cassidy sat by the pool for the rest of the afternoon, watching her father and brother swim.Caleb noticed that Cassidy had eaten three ice creams throughout the afternoon and whispered to Maxwell, "I suspect that Cass just wanted to send us off to swim so she could eat ice cream while Mommy’s not home. This way, no one would stop her."Maxwell looked a

Jennifer was in disbelief. "Divorce? Why did they divorce? And why did Mrs. Lowe leave with nothing?"Maxwell muttered, "In the past, Nathan's father had been working in a hospital abroad and would only come home a few times a year. During that time, he had already started a relationship with another woman overseas. That woman's child is already over ten years old. But back then, since Nathan was alive and doing well, his father treated that boy as a bastard. Now that Nathan has passed away, the mistress came and bullied Mrs. Lowe and her daughter."Maxwell glanced worriedly at Jennifer and continued, "But Mrs. Lowe has always been non-confrontational and never expected to be in this situation. Later, when her husband returned, he sided with the mistress and demanded a divorce. So, in her anger, Mrs. Lowe left with nothing and divorced him. Since the divorce, Mrs. Lowe has developed severe depression. The medications abroad are expensive, and hiring a caregiver is also costly, which

Hearing Maxwell's plan, Jennifer finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Maxwell.""You don't need to thank me." Maxwell stroked her cheek. "Don't worry, I'm here."With his reassurance, Jennifer finally grew at ease.The next day, the couple returned to their regular work and routine. In the morning, Maxwell first dropped off Cassidy and Caleb at school, then drove Jennifer to work."I'll pick you up after you finish work, and we'll visit Mrs. Lowe together." Maxwell reminded her, "Focus on your job, and don't let your mind wander, okay?"Jennifer smiled. It was nice to have someone who would stand by her side, especially when that person was someone she truly loved."Okay," she promised, giving him a quick kiss on the cheek. Her face flushed as she added, "You should work hard too."She quickly hopped out of the car. Maxwell's heart filled with joy.As Maxwell dropped her off a distance from the hospital, Jennifer had only walked a few steps before she heard cries for

Jennifer rolled her eyes at Hailey. "It's my choice. What's it to you?"She originally wanted to tell Hailey off but decided it was too rude, so she toned it down.Hailey snorted. "Susan, I know what you're trying to do. You're just showing off in front of everyone, trying to get them to look up to you. But don't forget, I'm still the head here!"Jennifer shrugged. "Do I need to show off? Isn't it common knowledge that I can perform surgeries that you cannot? Oh, and you're just the temporary head."She deliberately emphasized the word temporary, causing Hailey's face to turn red with anger.Jennifer then left to do her rounds.Hailey clenched her fists. She was determined to surpass Susan. What was so special about this woman? She had never been looked down upon like this before!…After a busy day, Jennifer finally wrapped up her work right as her shift ended. Maxwell's car was already parked at the hospital entrance, waiting for her.Jennifer quickly got in. "Let's visit Mr

Jennifer caught onto Maxwell's teasing and playfully glared at him. "I'm already yours, so isn't it up to you how things go?"Maxwell chuckled. "That's something I should be saying to you."…Hugo had been in a foul mood ever since returning to Haven City. The people he sent to capture Camila had failed, and that cunning woman escaped!Shaun hummed thoughtfully. "She fled hurriedly and didn't take anything with her. All the jewelry your father gave her was left behind. She's lived in luxury for so long and is nearly 60 now. She won't be able to survive out there for long."Hugo's gaze hardened. "Then keep searching! I want her found, dead or alive. Let's see how much longer she can hide."Shaun tried to ease his frustration and suggested, "How about calling over that girl, Natalie, from last time? She could keep you company."Hugo immediately recalled Natalie's stubborn yet stunning face, and his throat went dry. He mumbled, "That woman doesn't seem like the type to go clubbing.
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 847
Hugo became even more intrigued upon hearing about Natalie."She’s a teacher?" Hugo grinned. "No wonder she feels different from the women at Nimbus Lounge. So, she’s a teacher!"Given his status, he was usually surrounded by bar hostesses or gold diggers. Hugo had never dated a teacher before and wondered what that would be like.Seeing Hugo in a daze, Shaun reminded him, "What’s the next move, Mr. Shaw? Should we find Ms. Lowe?""Wait a bit. We can’t be too eager or we might scare her off!" Hugo thought for a moment. "Find out how much those students’ parents are paying her. Then have the manager contact her and offer her more! This woman must be short on money right now. Otherwise, why would a teacher work as a waitress? She must’ve been desperate. So, I’m sure she’ll come back if we offer her a higher salary."Shaun nodded in agreement. He hadn’t expected Hugo to not be entirely blinded by love.…Meanwhile, Jennifer was delighted to learn that Maxwell had arranged for sever

Jennifer wasn't as angry as the nurse. From the moment she saved Camila, she could tell the woman was in a very poor situation.In any case, Jennifer had already said the medical expenses would be deducted from her salary.She comforted Camila, "You should focus on recovering. Don't worry about the medical bills."Camila's eyes lit up. "Really? Thank you! The hospital is so kind!"The nurse rolled her eyes. "The hospital? You should be thanking Dr. Susan. She's the one who paid for your medical expenses out of her own pocket!"Camila looked at her in disbelief. Was there really someone so kind in this world?"Thank you, doctor!" Camila grasped Jennifer's hand. After all, she was now being hunted by Hugo's men, penniless and with no place to hide. When her throat had swelled, she thought she was going to die. She couldn't believe she had survived.Jennifer said gently, "It's alright, miss. Let me know if you feel any discomfort."She thought this was just a normal patient. Howev

Camila shook her head vigorously. "No! The enemy is in the shadows, and I'm in the open. The police might be able to protect me for a while, but they can't protect me forever! If those people find out that I called the police, they'll kill me!"Jennifer hesitated. Nothing seemed to be working. But she couldn't turn the hospital into a refuge for Camila. With no other option, Jennifer came up with a compromise. "How about this? I have a house near the hospital. If you don't mind, you can stay there for the time being. Once things calm down, you can think about what to do next."Camila hadn't expected Jennifer to be so kind. She nodded in gratitude. "Dr. Susan, I don't even know how to thank you! If it weren't for you, I might already be dead by now!""Alright, there's no need to say that. I'm just doing what I can," Jennifer said. "Why don't you let the nurse handle your discharge, and I'll take you to my house after I finish my shift?"Camila finally relaxed.At noon, Jennifer bro

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
