Jennifer and Maxwell exchanged playful banter all the way to the charity gala. Before long, they arrived at the venue.In the distance, Jennifer spotted a familiar figure. "Look, isn't that Laurie?" she exclaimed, her excitement evident as she tugged at Maxwell's hand.However, a thought crossed her mind when she saw Simon arriving alongside Laura. Her gaze grew dimmer, and she asked in a hushed tone, "What exactly is the relationship between Laurie and Simon now?"After all, she had regained her memories. She vividly recalled how that insufferable man had once brought Laura before her, subjecting her to cruel humiliation five years ago. Had Laura truly endured such treatment all this time?Maxwell sensed her unease and gave her hand a reassuring squeeze. "I can't say for sure what their relationship is, but Jennifer, today is an important occasion. Just try to stay calm."Taking a deep breath, Jennifer tried to compose herself. Yet, the thought of Laura spending so many years w

Simon glanced at Fiona, who was striding toward them. He then smiled calmly at the business partners he had been speaking with and uttered, "Excuse me for a moment."With that, he guided Laura to a secluded corner of the venue, somewhere they could speak without drawing too much attention.As expected, Fiona followed closely, her eyes burning with anger. "Why did you bring this bitch here?" she hissed.A wave of humiliation washed over Laura. At the same time, Simon turned to her, saying, "Why don't you wait for me over there?"She was eager to leave. If she stayed a moment longer, she feared she might lose her composure and confront Fiona then and there.Once Laura walked away, Fiona scoffed. "Why is she here? I specifically told you to bring Hailey. This was the perfect chance to introduce her as your fiancée.""She has surgery tonight and can't make it," Simon replied nonchalantly, swirling the champagne in his glass.Fiona's tone sharpened. "Even so, how could you bring some

Jennifer wasn't particularly knowledgeable about jewelry, nor did she have much interest in it. She simply thought it looked nice.Beside her, Laura whispered in awe, "Oh my gosh! It's stunning! Jennifer, look at that! It's absolutely beautiful. Every necklace Kalanthe designs just takes my breath away."Simon, sitting next to her, observed her reaction. Though he appeared indifferent, his gaze was drawn to the beauty and expressiveness of Laura's face.Lost in her admiration, Laura wondered which wealthy buyer would ultimately claim that necklace."This blue diamond necklace is called Sea of Dreams," the auctioneer announced. "It's Kalanthe's latest creation this year, with a starting bid of six million dollars!"Bids quickly began rolling in. "Seven million!""Eight million!""16 million!"As soon as Maxwell placed his bid, the room fell silent.Jennifer's eyes widened in shock. She quickly leaned in and whispered, "Are you out of your mind? 16 million dollars for a neckla

Laura was all too familiar with Simon's unpredictable moods. It wasn't the first time he had humiliated her.So, she simply gave him a smile and said, "Well, if there's a guy out there who's better looking, wealthier, and more skilled than you, I might actually consider it."Simon sneered, leaning in slightly. His cool lips brushed against her ear as he whispered, "You should know just how skilled I am. After all, you were screaming when I really put that to the test. Don't tell me it slipped your mind."Laura's face flushed red at his words, her heart pounding in her chest.If she ever revealed to anyone that beneath Simon's polished manners and charming appearance lay a twisted, manipulative man, no one would believe her.Seeing Laura's flustered reaction, Simon's lips curved into a smirk. He seemed to enjoy her discomfort.Maxwell and Jennifer finally wrapped up their speeches on stage. Thanks to Laura's shawl, no one had noticed Jennifer's gown had a split seam. But even af

Laura feared that Simon would see through her, so she quickly shook her head and replied, "It's nothing."After all, he was too perceptive. Sometimes, a single glance was all it took for him to know what she was thinking.At that moment, Simon's skepticism was unmistakable. His piercing gaze bore into Laura, making her gulp nervously.Choosing to play it safe, she leaned into his embrace and gently wrapped her arms around his waist, behaving like a loyal pet. She knew he appreciated it when she acted this way.As expected, a pleased smile tugged at the corners of Simon's mouth as his slender fingers wove through Laura's hair. "What prompted this sudden willingness? Do you want something from me?"Laura hesitated for a moment before cautiously speaking up. "This weekend is my dad's 57th birthday. Can I go see him?"As soon as the words escaped her lips, Simon shoved her away. "Laura, don't push your luck! What makes you think I'd ever agree to your request?"Her heart sank at his

The brand representative for the gown Jennifer wore rushed to the Lance residence. Their gown had suffered a significant failure, and it had happened to the Lances! Naturally, no one would take this lightly.By the time Jennifer and Maxwell arrived home, the representative was already waiting for them."Mrs. Lance, I'm truly sorry for the trouble this has caused. It's entirely our responsibility," the brand representative apologized. "Honestly, our gowns are all custom-made, and we've never encountered a situation like this before."Would you mind changing out of it? We'd like to take it back for inspection and figure out what went wrong. We promise to provide you with a satisfactory answer."Seeing their earnest effort to resolve the issue, Jennifer decided not to ask Maxwell to make things difficult for them.…When Laura visited Harry at Haven City Prison, she was struck by how absurd her thoughts that day had been.This was Simon, after all. How could he possibly be at someo
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 879
Simon stood before the enormous floor-to-ceiling window, gazing down at the sprawling beauty of Haven City. Even his stance carried a coldness that made people hesitate to approach. No, it wasn't just coldness; it was sheer cruelty.Laura couldn't hold back her frustration any longer. "Why, Simon? Why are you doing this to me?" she questioned.Her voice cracked and tears streamed down uncontrollably. "If you didn't want me to see my father, you could've just said so! He's getting older. Why do you have to torment him like that?""Did I ever tell you how much I hate being threatened? Laura, you had the nerve to threaten me last night. Did you really think you could get away with that? You can leave, but what about your father?" Simon's lips barely moved, but his words came out calm and sharp.Each word was like a knife, cutting deeper with every syllable. Helplessness and despair gripped Laura so tightly she could hardly breathe."Don't you have a father? How would you feel if so
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 880
Simon's lips curled in disdain as he gripped Laura's chin. "Next time, remember to strip before you beg me. Got it?" he hissed, each word laced with cruelty.The humiliation hit Laura like scalding water, burning from the inside out. At that moment, she finally understood her place. She was nothing to him.How naive she had been to think she could threaten him by saying she'd leave the night before.With a wry smile, she lowered her gaze in resignation. Her fingers trembled as they found the zipper of her dress.She moved slowly and deliberately. Her beauty, heightened by her vulnerability, ignited a fire of desire within Simon.He reached for the remote and lowered the curtains. In the next second, he lifted her onto the desk.Laura was terrified. She hadn't expected him to stay in the office. He didn't even bother to head to the lounge.Tears welled in her eyes, and her heart shattered into pieces. Yet, she had no choice but to please Simon, to prove her sincerity.…By the

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
