You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 941
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

Having said his piece, Maxwell left Camila alone and ascended the stairs. Camila stared at his retreating figure in disbelief, cursing under her breath. She couldn't help but feel a sense of regret for having given birth to such a son. He had completely lost his mind over Jennifer!…In the children's room, Cassidy was still sulking. When she saw Jennifer enter, she hurled a pillow at her. Initially, Jennifer had wanted to comfort her daughter, but she never expected Cassidy to confront her physically.At just six years old, Cassidy was already entering a rebellious phase. If she wasn't disciplined now, things could spiral out of control later."Cassidy Yale! If you throw one more thing at me, you'll see what happens!" Jennifer warned her in a low voice. "You don't do your homework, and your grades are terrible. Do you really think you have any right to complain?"You need to understand that everything you want, every bit of fun, comes from your own hard work. While you're wat

Maxwell found himself at a loss for words, caught off guard by his quirky daughter's question. He paused for a moment before responding, "Well, yes, I can support you. But you should know that girls without an education can easily get taken advantage of. "Your mom and I have our responsibilities, and we can't always be there to protect you. It's really important for you to learn as much as you can, don't you think?"Cassidy sighed deeply, her expression clouded with melancholy. "I just don't think I'm cut out for studying. If only I had a brain like Caleb's."Maxwell couldn't help but chuckle at her words. He leaned down and kissed her cheek. "Okay, let's wash up now. You need to get to bed early tonight. I'll talk to Mommy again, and if she changes her mind, you can go with Caleb, sound good?""That would be great! Thank you, Daddy!" Cassidy beamed with joy, wrapping her arms around his neck and planting a big kiss on him.…However, disappointment arrived the next day.Jennif

You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1182
Almost immediately, Laura pulled out her camera and snapped a photo of the couple on the field. She figured she could ask Britney to write a small feature about it to fill some space in the paper.The young man knelt on one knee, holding out a ring as he asked, "Will you marry me?"On the other hand, the woman was overwhelmed. Tears streamed down her face, and she couldn't even manage a coherent response.Around them, the crowd erupted with cheers. "Say yes! Say yes!" they chanted.Laura stood silently, her eyes glistening as tears clung to her lashes. She envied the woman. There was nothing more beautiful than being proposed to by someone you loved and knowing you were cherished. Unfortunately, that kind of happiness would never be hers.Her choice to be with Simon came with a cost—she had to keep their relationship hidden. She had willingly let go of any hope of a public future with him, of sharing their happiness openly. One day, perhaps soon, Simon would stage a grand pr
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1181
Simon hummed softly before explaining, "The police retrieved the surveillance footage, but it wasn't enough to prove anything. Now that he's taken photos of us, we have solid evidence. This confirms he's been stalking and secretly photographing us."Only then did Laura understand why he had asked her out. The excitement that had been bubbling within her vanished instantly at that realization.She pulled her hand away from his, her voice tinged with disappointment as she said, "So, this is why you wanted to watch the fireworks. Well, now that we've got the evidence, can we go home?"But to her surprise, Simon took her hand again, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Who says we can't gather evidence and enjoy the fireworks at the same time?"Laura froze momentarily. He had a point.In the end, they went to Botanical Garden as planned. The fireworks show was just beginning when they arrived. On top of that, Simon had made arrangements beforehand. So, the garden's director personall

Laura blinked innocently and answered, "I was talking about myself."Simon fixed his gaze on her, narrowing his eyes slightly. "Should I call Alex over right now? You can ask him directly if he's willing to accept you."Laura hadn't expected to shoot herself in the foot again, and her face turned red from his teasing. Flustered, she shoved him away. "Oh, come on! I was joking!"I was asking on behalf of Britney. You know, my colleague. If Alex is single, why not let them give it a shot? Britney's great. She's cheerful and kind. They seem like a good match."Simon finally let out a scoff. "You've got a knack for worrying about everyone, don't you?"She pushed him toward his desk and replied, "Alright, that's enough. You should get back to work. I'll tell Britney and have Alex give her a ride back. It's a perfect opportunity for them to spend some time together."With that, Simon sat back down in front of his computer and got back to work.At the same time, Laura texted Britney, a

"No problem, Laura," Alex replied before shifting his gaze to Britney.Then, he shyly said, "Let me show you around our firm. That way, if you guys ever work with us again, you'll have a better sense of how we operate."Britney, ever cheerful and outgoing, flashed a bright smile. "Sounds great! Let's go!"A satisfied smile tugged at Laura's lips as she watched them chat. With that, she entered Simon's office.Work was something both Simon and Laura took seriously. Moreover, the Brooks Group workplace fatality case weighed heavily on her heart.She couldn't shake her frustration and confusion about why Simon had taken the case, but she had a job to do. Setting her personal feelings aside, she switched into professional mode and began asking her questions.This time, Simon didn't make things difficult for her. He answered each question thoroughly and without hesitation. Toward the end of the interview, Laura asked a pointed question that hadn't been part of her original script.

The station chief reviewed the surveillance footage and explained to Simon personally, "His last known location was at the dormitory building of Haven University. He went inside, but unfortunately, there were no cameras in the restrooms."We believed he changed his clothes and shoes before leaving. Our initial assessment is that he's likely a student at the university. But for now, the trail's gone cold. I'd say he's good at avoiding being tracked. At this point, we don't have enough evidence to bring him in."Simon nodded in response. Now, he was nearly certain of the stalker's identity. "Alright, I think I know who it is. Thank you for your hard work."The station chief hurriedly replied, "Oh, Mr. Moore, no need to thank us! We'll be needing your expertise down the line. Helping each other is what we do."…At the studio, Laura sat in her office, texting Simon to check if there were any updates on the stalker.However, all he replied was, "They're still investigating."The cor

"Mr. Moore…" Laura let out a sigh. After a moment's hesitation, she couldn't hold back any longer. "I really feel for the victim in the Brooks Group's workplace fatality case. Does the Brooks family even care about that small amount of money? One million dollars is just pocket change to them, but to another family, it's everything."Simon showed no emotion as he replied, "Mind your own business."Laura pouted but quickly relented. "So, do you have time tomorrow? My boss said we need to follow up on the progress of the Brooks Group case as soon as possible. Can you—"Before she could finish her sentence, Simon suddenly shut his laptop, set it aside, and leaned toward her.He fixed his gaze on the terrified Laura. His handsome face came dangerously close, stopping just inches from hers. Then, he said, "Well, as long as you behave and stop testing my patience."While unbuttoning her pajama top, he added, "Otherwise, with everything I've got going on, why should I take time to help

Simon pressed Laura against the wall and kissed her.Yet, this was what hurt her the most. He had never cared whether she wanted it or not. In fact, there were so many unresolved issues between them. However, Simon seemed utterly indifferent and showed no intention of addressing them. He kissed Laura for a while. Just when she thought he might take things to the next level, he abruptly stopped.Simon's breathing was unsteady, his voice low and hoarse as he said, "Go take a shower. I've got work to do and can't keep messing with you."It was only then Laura realized he had drawn her in. Now that he had stopped, her cheeks still burned, and she couldn't shake the lingering pull of desire he'd stirred.Simon seemed to notice her unease. He then asked with a smirk, "Or would you rather continue?"Laura's heart skipped a beat. She quickly pushed him away and lowered her head. "I'll go shower."As he stared at her retreating figure, the lust in Simon's gaze gradually faded. In the

In the next moment, Simon's lips curled into a smile. "It was Maxwell who called me and asked me to come help you with this. Don't forget, Jennifer isn't just your best friend. She's also Maxwell's wife and the mother of Caleb and Cassidy."Did you even check if Maxwell was okay with you staying at their place? Not everyone is as comfortable with you as Jennifer is."Laura wanted nothing more than to shut him up. However, she couldn't deny that he had a point. Apart from Harry, Jennifer was the only one who had ever treated Laura like family. While Jennifer might never push her away, that didn't mean everyone else would be as kind. That house belonged to Jennifer, but it was Maxwell's too.At that moment, Laura felt completely alone and helpless. …Just like that, she quickly packed a few essentials and followed Simon back to his place in the dead of night.He then pointed to a small wardrobe and lightly instructed, "You can leave your clothes here for now."After opening it,

Laura cried in Simon's arms for what felt like an eternity before finally lifting her head. Her voice carried a hint of grievance as she said, "Why wouldn't you believe me? I told you someone was following me, but you still didn't trust me."Simon gently wiped her tears away. "I'm sorry. That's on me."But Laura shoved him aside, her tone defiant. "Spare me the fake concern. I've reported it to the police, so it doesn't matter whether you show up or not."A flicker of amusement passed through Simon's dark eyes as he studied her. "Really?""Of course!" Laura lifted her chin, as if she weren't afraid of anything. "I'm trained in martial arts and can protect myself. Besides, the police are involved. Even without you, I'm not scared."Simon couldn't help but chuckle. Suddenly, his arm snaked around her waist, pulling her close again. "Who was trembling in fear earlier? The same person who stayed holed up in the bedroom all night because she was too afraid to come out?" he teased in
