You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 939
"Alright, I'll talk to Simon and see if he can find a way for you to meet Hugo," Maxwell replied.As the car came to a stop, he looked at Jennifer earnestly and added, "But you have to promise me one thing. No matter what happens, our family can't fall apart. "I won't forgive my mom for the harm she caused you and Hugo in the past, not even after she almost lost her life this time. Most importantly, I need you to stand by me. No more tantrums, running away, or hiding out at Nimbus Lounge, okay?"Jennifer shot back, "You were the one who raised your voice at me today!"Maxwell's face reflected a blend of irritation and affection. He ruffled her hair before pulling her into an embrace. "Okay, I'm sorry, honey. I was wrong. From now on, I'll try—no, I'll make sure to keep my temper in check, alright?"Once they cleared the air, they finally headed home.…Cassidy and Caleb observed their parents, noting that the tension seemed to have eased. Both children let out a sigh of relief.

Soon, Lucy Reed came over. Given that Jennifer was generally kind and generous, she felt at ease.With a smile, she asked, "Mrs. Lance, did you need me?""Are you close to Madison?" Jennifer questioned, her gaze fixed intently on Lucy's face.Sure enough, Lucy's expression changed drastically. She immediately denied, "N-No, I've only spoken to her a few times when we worked together. We're just acquaintances, nothing more.""Is that so? If you're just acquaintances, why does she keep coming back to find you? What did you two talk about?" Jennifer pressed, ruthlessly revealing the truth. Lucy, visibly agitated, rushed to defend herself. "Mrs. Lance, this is a misunderstanding. Madison was always the one who sought me out. I-I really don't know anything, and I haven't told her anything."Jennifer felt increasingly convinced that something was off between them. "Why are you so nervous if you haven't done anything?" she asked sharply."You'd better tell me the truth. Otherwise, you

Lucy finally sighed in relief before quickly making her exit.Right then, Maxwell slowly turned to Jennifer and said, "Looks like your kindness has, once again, become someone else's weapon. We should've never let Madison off the hook."Jennifer pressed her lips together, unable to deny it. She hadn't expected that sparing Madison out of pity for Maya and Herta would backfire this badly. Madison just wouldn't let up.She sighed. "What is she trying to do, prying all those questions out of Lucy? We already know what she is like. Even if things between us are strained, she knows there's no future with you. Do you think Madison is trying to find your mother and get her to help her claw her way back in?"Maxell narrowed his eyes, a cold gleam flashing in them. "That's exactly why we need to dig deeper into this.…The next day, thanks to Maxwell's connections, Jennifer managed to visit Hugo in jail.Hugo's eyes were swollen and bloodshot. He looked utterly beaten, refusing to say a

As soon as Jennifer brought it up, Hugo's irritation was palpable. "You're right. How could we ever match her cruelty? Years ago, she threw herself down the stairs just to make my father lose all trust in me. She was several months pregnant at the time!"After that, she not only lost her baby but also her ability to conceive. That's not something an ordinary person would do. "Jennifer, if this is too much for you, why not just divorce Maxwell? With a mother-in-law like her, I can't even imagine what you'll go through in the future."Jennifer was too stunned to respond. But in the next moment, her gaze sharpened, firm and resolute. Word by word, she declared, "Don't worry. I'll get you out of here. I'll also make sure Maxwell sees his mother's true colors. In the end, it'll be Camila who ends up in prison!"She vowed to see Camila behind bars.…After leaving the police station, Jennifer drove straight to the hospital where Camila was admitted. At the door, the two bodyguards h

Initially, Camila had thought that dragging Hugo into her scheme would give her control over both siblings.However, she hadn't expected Maxwell to remain so cold, even when she was on the verge of death. Rather than showing her sympathy, he planned to send her right back to that desolate village once she recovered.Torn, Camila wondered if she really needed to go through with the deal with Jennifer. But if she let Hugo go, at least she could spend the rest of her life in luxury and comfort. Besides, there was no rush to destroy Hugo and Jennifer just yet. Camila could solidify her position in the Lance family first, then take her time dealing with them. Having made up her mind, she told Jennifer, "Call Maxwell. Tell him you've forgiven me and are willing to accept me. As long as he agrees to let me return, I'll let Hugo go."With that, Jennifer dialed Maxwell's number right in front of Camila. At that moment, Maxwell was already en route to the hospital. The bodyguards had in

In the end, Hugo's attempted murder charge was reduced to simple assault, and he was released from the police station.Meanwhile, Camila had grown tired of staying in the hospital. By the next day, she was demanding to be discharged, eager to return to her life as a wealthy, high-society woman.The only thing that bothered her was having to put up with Jennifer at the Lance residence. She had assumed Jennifer and Maxwell would have moved out by now. To Camila's surprise, Jennifer suggested they continue living together. She wasn't planning on leaving anymore, catching Camila off guard.While Maxwell was out, Camila asked bitterly, "What's your plan?"Jennifer dropped the pretense and coldly replied, "I'm keeping you close to make sure you behave. Don't even think about trying any of your usual tricks. You fought hard to get back here, so don't go digging your own grave. Otherwise, no one can save you.""Don't forget, Maxwell is still my son!" Camila snapped. "Would you dare talk

Jennifer let out a sigh and said, "Hugo, I know you're standing up for me, and I appreciate it. But we need to be smarter. It's not worth dragging ourselves down over someone as vile as her."Hugo remained silent for a long moment before speaking up, his voice low. "I'm just worried about you. There's no way I'll believe she'll ever change.""I don't either."After a moment's thought, Jennifer added, "Help me look into someone. I'll send you her details later, but do it quietly. We can't risk her catching on.""Got it. It's that woman the old hag sent to try and seduce Maxwell, right? Don't worry. I'll dig up everything on her!" Hugo declared.…Later that evening, Maxwell came home in high spirits. After all, wasn't every man's wish to return to a home where his wife and mother coexisted peacefully? Camila was doing everything she could to secure her place in the Lance family and earn Maxwell's approval. Hence, she made sure to give him exactly what he wanted to see.As Jenni

Maxwell's expression hardened as he snapped, "Mom, enough already! Stop making this a big deal. Cassidy's just a child. Why do you have to say all this in front of her?"Seeing that her son wasn't on her side, Camila fell silent.At dinner, Jennifer said, "Cal, you've got your school trip to Minalur in two days. I have surgery scheduled, so your dad will take you instead.""What about Cass?" Caleb asked, taken aback. "Didn't we sign up for the trip together? Is she not going?"Cassidy chimed in eagerly, "Yes! I signed up with Cal! We agreed to go together. Mommy, did you forget about me?"With a serious look, Jennifer replied, "You're not going! Just compare your homework with Caleb's and see how much he's done! Moreover, your teacher called me today and mentioned you're in the bottom ten of your class. Check your brother's ranking before you say anything more!"Tears welled in Cassidy's eyes right away. She looked up at Maxwell pitifully, hoping he would come to her aid.Maxwel

You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1192
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
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1191
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
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1187
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

Violet hissed through gritted teeth, "Oh, it gets worse! That bitch Laura has moved into Simon's place! A friend at the police station told me Jonah caught them coming out of Simon's garage together. That was how he had those photos."Hailey clenched her jaw, her anger bubbling over. She had only been to Simon's house once, and even then, he had thrown her out. She couldn't believe that Laura had the audacity to move in. "I won't let that bitch get away with this! I'm holding back for now, but once I'm Mrs. Moore, I'll deal with her," Hailey declared.…Meanwhile, Laura returned to Simon's place after work. Without wasting time, she started packing her things.Now that Jonah had been arrested, the stalking nightmare was finally over. Hence, there was no reason to stay here any longer.Although moving back to her rented apartment wouldn't free her from Simon's control, at least it was her own place.When she finished packing, Laura glanced outside. The sky darkened as thick cl

Miguel sighed, cursing himself inwardly for his stupidity. How had it taken him this long to piece it all together? The last name "Moore" wasn't common to begin with. When Simon started appearing in his life again after all these years, he should have connected the dots sooner.If he had, Simon's obsession with his refusal to take Harry's case would have been obvious.Simon's piercing, oppressive gaze bore into Miguel as he closed the distance between them. "What do you know about my father's death? How much do you know? Tell me!" he demanded. His voice was low, but it carried a dangerous edge. For a split second, Miguel's mind went blank. But a moment later, he yelled, "I don't know! Stop asking! Simon, don't forget. I'm your mentor. No matter how successful you are now, this isn't how you talk to me!"But Miguel's reaction gave Simon all the confirmation he needed. Clearly, the former knew something about Anthony's death. Yet, infuriatingly, he still wouldn't talk.Simon le
