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

Jennifer almost wanted to tell Camila right then and there that Maxwell was her husband and they had two adorable children. However, Maxwell didn't know anything about this yet. At the very least, she needed to discuss it with him first.So, Jennifer didn't reveal her identity. She made a meal for Camila and went to Lance Group to inform Maxwell about the matter.…Maxwell hadn't expected Jennifer to visit him during working hours and was overjoyed. He didn't even ask his secretary to make coffee and went to make it himself."Don't trouble yourself," Jennifer grabbed his hand. "I don't want any."Maxwell put down the items and wrapped his arm around her waist with a smile. "What's this? Is my wife here to check on me? Well, go ahead, see if I've been behaving."He leaned in to kiss her.Jennifer quickly pushed him away. "Stop messing around!"Maxwell looked at her thoughtfully. "Don't you have work? Why are you here? Is something wrong?""I..." Jennifer smiled. "I just missed

Maxwell was shocked. Was it really a coincidence? But his mother's name was indeed Camila Tate.No matter how strong Maxwell was, he couldn't help but shed a tear.Jennifer took his hand. "Let me take you to her, alright? Maxwell, she's in a dangerous situation, and I don't feel safe leaving her alone. What if her enemies find her?"With that, Maxwell followed Jennifer to see Camila.…After more than 20 years apart, Maxwell still recognized his mother. Although time had left its marks, Camila still looked the same as she did back then.He could still remember that stormy night when his mother left the Lance family in anger.Camila never expected that not only had Jennifer delivered the message, but she had also brought her son to her. She threw herself into Maxwell's arms and sobbed, "Maxwell! I've finally found you!"Maxwell's heart ached but couldn't bring himself to call her "Mom."He pushed Camila away and demanded, "Where have you been? Do you know how long I searched fo
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 852
Maxwell was pleased to see how much his mother liked Jennifer. He smiled. "Yes, your daughter-in-law has even given you a grandson and granddaughter. They're already five years old.""Really?" Camila was overjoyed, but then she said nervously, "Oh, it's a pity I didn't prepare any gifts for my grandchildren."Jennifer held her arm. "Our family has everything we need. The only thing missing was a grandmother. You are the best gift."Maxwell was grateful to Jennifer. Though he had forgiven his mother, he found it hard to express affection. After so many years apart, he and his mother still felt distant. But Jennifer had welcomed his mother home on his behalf. Maxwell felt lucky to have married Jennifer.And so, they brought Camila home.On the way, Camila still appeared nervous. She was terrified that Hugo might find her. For years, she enjoyed an easy life in the Shaw family, but that was only because of Nicholas, who had been in charge. Now that Nicholas had passed, she was like a

Maxwell said, "By the way, call your brother and ask if he's free today. We'll take my mom shopping first, then invite him for dinner tonight as a family."Jennifer looked at him in surprise. "You... You mean you're accepting my brother?"She had always thought that Maxwell disliked her brother.Maxwell put his arm around her shoulder and smiled. "What else can I do? He's your brother. I can't keep putting you in a difficult position between us. Let's use this opportunity to have a meal together and resolve any past issues."Jennifer smiled and pecked him on the cheek. "I'll call him right now."However, Hugo replied, "Why are you inviting me over out of nowhere? You should at least give me a few days' notice beforehand. I just left this city.""What? You've left again?" Jennifer was puzzled. "Weren't you just back a few days ago?"Hugo replied indifferently, "I still have some matters to take care of back home. I'll get in touch with you when I'm back."Thus, Jennifer hung up

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

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
