"Grandpa, she's just… out of her mind. You really don't have to bother dealing with her," Jordan said, refusal plain in his tone. He was really worried Bridget might come into the house. After all, that woman always spoke recklessly without consideration for the consequences.

But Robert was insistent. He said to the butler, "You. Go and bring that woman in. I'd like to see just why she's here looking for Jordan."

Bridget was brought into the house just like that.

Though Jennifer may have not minded so much about this matter earlier, she was certainly anxious now. Bridget was still a member of her family, after all.

"You're here too, Jennifer?" Bridget ran over to Jennifer and gave her a hug, pretending to have a good relationship with Jennifer. "I'm so glad you are! I don't feel as scared now that you're here."

Jennifer was taken aback. What was Bridget trying to do?

Even Robert was gazing suspiciously at Jennifer. "Who is this young woman to you, Jennifer?"

    Robert took a deep breath, finding the present situation challenging. He gazed at Jennifer who had remained silent all this while and asked, "What are your thoughts on the matter, Jennifer? This is your sister after all."Bridget hadn't expected Robert to ask Jennifer outright. Worried Jennifer might expose her here in front of the Lance family, Bridget went over to hold Jennifer's arm. "You know me, Jennifer. Am I the kind of woman who fools around? Our family may not be an elite one, but we've always been taught well. How could I do such a ghastly thing?"Jennifer didn't want to expose Bridget right away, yet she knew Bridget had come prepared and was now putting up a pitiful act.Still, Jennifer wasn't going to be pulled along by Bridget's schemes or be manipulated by her. So, Jennifer retracted her hand and stepped away from Bridget.Jennifer then said to Robert, "Sorry, Grandpa. I'm not entirely sure what's going on either, nor do I understand my sister very well."Robert und

    Bridget cocked an eyebrow and said lightly, "You don't need to accept me. All that matters is that the head of the family does."Jordan wanted so badly to slap Bridget in the face. But he didn't dare take any rash action right now for fear of Robert coming downstairs again should Bridget cause another scene.Bridget looked at Jordan and said, "What are you waiting for? Didn't you hear what your grandfather said earlier? Send me back home!"Jordan hated Bridget so much. Bridget had embarrassed him so much in front of Jennifer. He wanted so much to get rid of Bridget, so no way was he even considering driving her home.Jennifer couldn't stand it anymore. "I'll drive you home, Bridget. It's conveniently along the way."Jordan felt more grateful to Jennifer now. He felt like she was helping him.But Bridget glared at Jennifer and gritted out, "Oh, so you're pretending to be nice, aren't you? Didn't you say you didn't know me very well earlier? Do you plan to kill me on the way home?"

    "Alright. Then I'll wait for the day you marry Jordan Lance," Jennifer said with a sneer. "The future of the Yale family is in your hands now."Jennifer then walked back home, her steps fast and frequent. After all, she'd worn sneakers today, unlike Bridget, who'd worn an expensive pair of high heels.The heels were very high, so when Bridget walked, they began chafing her feet.Bridget cursed Jennifer as she walked to the roadside to get a taxi. When she reached home, Zion was nowhere to be found, only Jocelyn.Bridget said confidently, "Where's Dad?""He wanted to divorce me but I disagreed, so he's decided to not come home anymore," Jocelyn snapped. "It's all Jennifer's fault!"Bridget snorted. "What a pity. I wanted to show Dad just how much better I am than that infertile bitch Jennifer. He's looked down on me for so many years, always thinking Jennifer is better than me."Jocelyn's eyes brightened. "Was your visit to the Lance family today a success, dear? Did they agree f

    Rachel scoffed. "Aw, but I like the view here in the master bedroom the most. You're able to see the beautiful blue lake the moment you open the curtains."Just then, Maxwell exited the bathroom. Unlike before, he was dressed in full sleeping wear, and not just a towel.Jennifer gazed at him, feeling immensely aggrieved.Rachel immediately ran over to him and sobbed, "I'd better go, Maxwell. Your wife doesn't like me. She… She called me filthy!"Maxwell held Rachel in his arms and sneered as he gazed at Jennifer. "What right do you have to think Rach filthy? At the very least, she's only ever given herself to me!"The clear underlying meaning in his words made Jennifer tremble. She was at a loss for words.Yes, her body had long been given to someone not even Jennifer herself knew!Even though Jennifer didn't betray Maxwell in any way, she still felt scared. She was scared Maxwell would reveal her deepest trauma in front of Rachel.Jennifer didn't want to struggle futilely or i

    Maxwell was reminded of that news broadcast as he looked at the gloomy night sky outside. He slowly drove his car. However, he was panicking and worried something bad might've happened to Jennifer.Finally, a slim, lone figure dragging a suitcase appeared in sight.Maxwell swiftly got out of his car and ran over to hug her.Jennifer screeched in fright, thinking she was being attacked."It's me," Maxwell said quietly, turning her around.Jennifer stared at him in shock, probably not expecting Maxwell to have come here. Wasn't he accompanying Rachel?As if reading her mind, Maxwell said, "It's late, so come back with me right now. Haven hasn't been the safest lately."Maxwell then held Jennifer's hand, about to lead her back into his car. But immense humiliation swept across Jennifer when she thought about how Rachel was still sleeping on her bed. Jennifer struggled to not go into Maxwell's car, saying, "I'd rather die than go back to that house and watch you get it on with Rache

    "We'll see about that!" Maxwell growled. Then he shoved Jennifer against the wall and began kissing her roughly. He even pinned her flailing arms behind her back.Jennifer's eyes widened. How could he kiss her? They were about to get divorced! Rachel was even sleeping in their marital bed!Yet Maxwell was still kissing her. His kiss was incredibly domineering, overwhelming Jennifer until she had no choice but to yield.Suddenly, Jennifer bit down hard on Maxwell's lip, making blood seep into her mouth. This angered Maxwell even further. He tore away from her lips and clasped her chin, asking darkly, "What? We're still married, aren't we? Can't I kiss you?""N-No… " Jennifer struggled with all her might. She knew Maxwell was her husband, but that would soon no longer be the case. Plus, Maxwell was plainly humiliating her. He didn't actually want her.But men and women were always so different in this regard.Maxwell tore Jennifer's clothes off, leaving them scattered on the floo

    A tear fell down Jennifer's cheek as she gazed at Maxwell. "You've already violated me. There's nothing left of me for you to ruin anymore."Maxwell released her at the sight of her crying before getting up on his feet. He never expected Jennifer to say that he'd violated her.The only person she could think about right now was probably Jordan, Maxwell thought.Jennifer felt like a used ragdoll. With a bitter smile, she said with utmost sincerity to Maxwell, "May you and Rachel find lifelong happiness."Regardless of what kind of person Rachel was, Jennifer had still loved Maxwell for a long time. She didn't want Maxwell to not be able to find true love like herself.But to Maxwell, Jennifer's words were a stab to the heart. He'd rather her yell and hit him or at least beg him like a normal wife would do. But she didn't. She had calmly decided to just end things between them like that.Even Rachel's presence at home couldn't make Jennifer respond to him anymore."I'll have Micha

    "I just want to forget about it. I don't want to talk about it anymore." Jennifer curled up on the couch, hugging herself. "It feels like a knife is cutting my old wounds open each time it's mentioned. I'm not pursuing the matter against them not because I'm weak, but because I don't want to be an instrument of revenge. I don't want anyone to know that I…"Laura consoled her. "Okay, okay. We don't need to talk about it anymore. Now and forever."Laura ended up sending and picking up Jennifer from class for the next couple of days as the latter wasn't in the best state.One day, Jennifer noticed Jordan's car was parked outside campus. He was waiting for her."Jennifer." Jordan went over and gave her some treats he'd bought. He said awkwardly, "Can I talk to you? I'd like to clarify what happened the other day."Jennifer was taken aback. For some reason, Jordan felt different.She didn't accept the treats, not wanting to start any more drama.With a furrowed brow, Jennifer said, "

    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

    Meanwhile, Fiona had taken Hailey to Valor Law Firm, and they waited for Simon to finish work. Both of them knew that as long as he didn't return home, Laura would be left out in the storm.Even so, that wasn't enough to quell the hatred burning inside them.Simon had no intention of dining with Hailey, so he snapped, "How could you bring my mom out in this weather? The rain is pouring down. You're a doctor. Surely you know she can't be exposed to the cold with her condition?"Fiona quickly stepped in to mediate. "What's wrong with you? Why blame Hailey?" She scolded him gently."It's been a while since I last visited you at work. That's why I asked her to come with me. Besides, a friend gave me some premium truffles. Since you two are always so busy, tonight's the perfect chance for both of you to enjoy a good meal."Simon wasn't about to argue with his mother. Hence, he reluctantly agreed. "Fine. Let me wrap things up, and we'll head back."…Half an hour later, all three re

    As she spoke, Hailey strode toward the balcony to check. She was sure she had seen a figure reflected in the glass door between the living room and the balcony. Laura had to be hiding there.Just as she was about to yank the door open and drag Laura out, Fiona stepped forward and locked it from inside. Then, she turned to Hailey and said with a smile, "Why are you so jumpy today? It's about to rain. The wind rattling things outside is perfectly normal, isn't it?"Fiona's actions made Hailey abandon her suspicion. After all, a thunderstorm was expected that night.With the door now locked, Laura was trapped on the balcony with no way back in. Hailey couldn't help but pray for the lightning to finish Laura off.The thought sent a wave of satisfaction through Hailey. "Alright, I trust you, Mom. Shall we head to Simon's law firm and then return to the Moore residence together?" she asked. "Sure! Having you two around makes me so happy," Fiona replied, patting Hailey's hand affectio
