You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 94
"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, "

Jennifer said, "Look, I'm just saying—do you really think we'll be able to afford such a priceless piece of jewelry? I bet there are tons of other people waiting in line to buy it!""I just want to take a look," Laura said with a grin. "I can always buy some of Kalanthe's other works. I really like their style. We don't have to buy the expensive ones, just the ones we can afford."Jennifer scratched her head. "You always know how to sugarcoat things when it comes to money."Even so, Jennifer decided to go shopping with Laura. After all, it had been ages since they'd done this.…Gold Guardian International was Haven's largest commercial center. Many luxury brands have opened stores here.Laura went straight to Kalanthe's brand store after they arrived. She wanted to catch a glimpse of Heart of Rouge, but the shop assistant said, "Apologies, Ms. Scott. Someone's already booked Heart of Rouge's bracelet while its necklace is being prepared for a charity auction in the upcoming days

Laura was pissed off now. What she would give to tear Rachel to shreds right now!But Jennifer suddenly grabbed onto Laura and said calmly to the shop assistant, "I'd like to buy this necklace. Please wrap it up for me."Laura was stunned. She was worried Jennifer might not have the money to buy the necklace and consequently embarrass themselves further.But Jennifer then took out the credit card Maxwell had given her. "I'll be paying with this."Jennifer shot Rachel a smile and said, "We saw this necklace first, so we should rightly get it on a first-come, first-serve basis."Rachel immediately recognized that card as Maxwell's. There were very few of these cards issued to the public, especially in Haven. This meant that Jennifer only got that card because of Maxwell.Jealousy filled Rachel's chest in an instant.Rachel sneered, "Maxwell is about to divorce you, Jennifer. Don't you think you're overstepping the line by spending my fiance's money?"Jennifer had already decided

Laura immediately understood what Jennifer implied and winked at the latter. "Then don't mind if I do! Maxwell earns so much money anyway so we might as well spend some.""You're welcome. You can even buy everything on display here at the counter if you like." Jennifer waved the card in hand and said, "I'd like to see just how much money Maxwell has in here. Ooh, I wonder if we'll be able to hit its limit?"Sure enough, Rachel's face flushed an ugly shade. She ground out, "Maxwell worked hard to earn that money, so it belongs only to him! How is it yours to spend?"Jennifer rolled her eyes. "If my husband's money has nothing to do with me, what would it have to do with an outsider like you?"Rachel trembled with anger but couldn't do much else.Laura swiftly chose several pieces of jewelry, their prices totaling up to more than 600 thousand dollars.Jennifer saw how jealous Rachel looked and said, "You love snatching things from people, right? Then snatch all you want. I'm curiou

Maxwell's brows knitted together when he heard Jennifer bringing up the divorce again.Just then, his secretary walked in and said, "Mr. Maxwell, Ms. Walker is here."Rachel had been frequenting the office lately acting like she owned the place, as if eager to assert dominance.After the secretary left, Rachel sashayed over to Maxwell and sat down in his lap. Maxwell had been gentler toward her in consideration of her illness. Even the way he spoke to her was gentler.But after the call with Jessica, Maxwell felt nothing but frustration. In fact, Maxwell actually started to find Rachel's perfume fragrance, which he usually liked, irritating."What's the matter, Maxwell? Are you feeling unhappy?" Rachel asked, observing his expression. "Is it because I spent your money to buy the aquamarine necklace today?"Maxwell composed himself and said with a smile, "What haven't I ever bought for you, hm? It's just a necklace.""Maxwell, there's… something I want to tell you, but please don

Rachel said softly, "Do you not want me anymore? In that case, you can just leave me to my own devices. I won't drag you down, Maxwell.""You're overthinking again." Maxwell caressed Rachel's back and said, "I just want your illness to be treated as soon as possible so you can be happier."Rachel was panicking again. Would that psychologist be able to tell that she was faking her depression? How could she fake her symptoms so as to fool the psychologist?Right when Rachel was lost in thought, Maxwell said, "By the way, the pipes in your house have been fixed. All the tiles have been changed as well."Rachel's expression fell. She gazed pitifully at Maxwell and asked, "Are you kicking me out?"Maxwell replied patiently, "How am I kicking you out? I'm just sending you back home."Without Maxwell's invitation or permission, Rachel would seem too bold and clingy now if she continued staying at the villa. She'd thought she wouldn't need to move out now that she'd moved in. Who knew Ma

Laura gave it some thought. "Is it because your birthday is coming soon? Is Maxwell planning to give this to you as your birthday present?"Jennifer would've forgotten about her birthday if Laura hadn't mentioned it. Plus, Maxwell never acknowledged her birthday in the past or celebrated it with her. Would that change this year?Hope lit up Jennifer's deadened heart upon hearing Laura's words. But Jennifer then said gloomily, "But Maxwell has already brought Rachel to our home. He even told me he'd have his assistant pass me the divorce papers the other day."Laura said, "I'm going to say this from an objective point of view—even though Maxwell cheated on you and hurt you, I'm sure that during your fights, none of you had anything nice to say to the other, right? I'm sure you don't really want the divorce either.""Who said so?" Jennifer retorted. "What I would give to leave him and end this pathetic marriage!"Laura grinned. "Save it. You can fool everyone else, but you can't foo

Laura said reproachfully, "Jennifer is with me now! What's your problem? You even brought the mistress back home. You're also acting arrogantly and treating Jennifer like dirt. She's just trying to vent to her friends. Why does it bother you?"Instead of getting angry, Maxwell patiently responded, "Send me your address then. I'll come pick her up.""Heh, you're coming to pick her up? What's this? Are you planning to keep two women at home? Do you think you're some kind of king?" Laura kept dodging Jennifer's attempts to snatch the phone. She said to Maxwell, "Jennifer is also a clean freak. She won't stay where the other woman has lived!"Laura originally intended to stand up for Jennifer and let Maxwell know that Jennifer wasn't someone to be messed with.However, to her surprise, Maxwell suddenly said, "Isn't she the one who wants a divorce? Tell her to come home and sign the agreement."Laura was stunned. She had wanted to give Maxwell a good scolding, but he had already hung u

You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1196
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
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1193
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
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
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1189
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
