You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 943
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

Almost immediately, Cassidy burst into tears. She clutched Camila's hand tightly and pleaded, "Grandma, you have to help me! What am I supposed to do? It feels like Mommy doesn't like me anymore, and Daddy doesn't either. He's never yelled at me before!""There, there, don't cry," Camila said, picking Cassidy up in her arms. "With me around, who would dare turn their back on you?"She could tell she had struck just the right nerve and pressed on, "As long as you listen to me from now on, I promise you'll always have a safe place in this family. "Even if you don't do well in school, no one would dare say a word. But…""But what, Grandma?" Cassidy asked anxiously.Camila's expression grew serious. "But if your mother finds out I told you all this, she might just throw me out. If that happens, I won't be able to protect you anymore."Cassidy sniffled, her voice choked with sobs. "I-I won't say a word. Grandma, you have to help me! You're Daddy's mom; he'll listen to you, right?""

"They've moved?" Jennifer asked, her surprise evident. "Where did they go?"Hugo replied, "She rented an apartment for her mother and sister in a mid-to-high-end neighborhood. I heard she paid five years' rent upfront, totaling 300 thousand dollars."Jennifer's curiosity intensified upon hearing that. Given Madison's family situation and the fact she had just dropped out of school, where had she gotten that kind of money? Something was definitely off."Hugo, you need to keep looking for her. If you can't find her in Haven City, try somewhere else," she urged.Puzzled, Hugo asked, "Why are you so hell-bent on finding her? You should be putting your energy into dealing with that old hag at home.""I don't have any proof, but I can't shake the feeling that Madison is still in contact with Camila. I can't quite explain it; just keep investigating. If Madison is indeed Camila's accomplice, a woman like her out there could be dangerous," Jennifer responded thoughtfully.Hugo fully trus

You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1176
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

Only then did Maxwell understand the reason behind Jennifer's anxiety. He grabbed her arm and said, "Why does it have to be you? What about Simon? Didn't you say they had made up? "This kind of damsel-in-distress situation should be his job. It feels like we're overstepping if we take matters into our own hands, don't you think?""What's wrong with that? Laura is my best friend! If I don't help her now, who will?" Jennifer shot Maxwell an irritated look before adding, "This is the perfect chance to show Laura that she can't rely on Simon. Otherwise, she'll just fall deeper for him. Well, unless he's willing to marry her. Do you think he will?"Maxwell softened his tone and replied, "Let's set aside the question of whether he will marry her or not. Think about it. If Laura stays with us, she'll have to watch us all lovey-dovey, living our happy family life. How do you think that will make her feel?"I know she's your best friend, but this is just how humans are. We can't help but

Laura anxiously waited as the police retrieved the surveillance footage. But in the end, all they told her was that the alley she had mentioned was in an area slated for demolition. Hence, no cameras had been installed there. When she suggested they start investigating from the street where her office was located, the officer replied, "Miss, if we follow your suggestion, it would require a massive undertaking."We have other cases to handle as well. Please, go home and wait. If we find anything, we'll notify you immediately, okay?"Laura's urgency stemmed from how terrified she felt. After all, it was the first time she had been followed. Still, she didn't want to make things difficult for anyone. Since the police officers had made their stance clear, she decided not to press further and relented. Before leaving, she couldn't help but plead, "Please, do your best to look into this as soon as possible. Contact me immediately if there's any news."With that, she left the station,

Laura's heart pounded violently in her chest. She immediately pulled out her phone, instinctively thinking of calling Simon. However, she remembered they weren't on speaking terms, so she dialed Jennifer's number instead. A nurse answered the phone. "Hello, Dr. Susan is currently in surgery. Please call back in two hours."Left with no choice, Laura reluctantly called Simon. His deep voice came through almost immediately. "Hello, what is it?"Simon's voice, though pleasant, held an icy undertone. Laura knew he was still angry. But right now, someone was following her. She couldn't afford to care about anything else—not even her pride.She gripped the phone tightly, her voice trembling as she said, "S-Someone's following me. Can you come pick me up?""What?" Simon's response was indifferent. Then, he mockingly added, "Aren't you a martial arts expert? A good fighter, right? What's there to fear from a thief?"After all, Britney hadn't been able to secure her interview with hi

Simon finally looked up from his computer screen and gave Alex a stern look. "Do you not understand what I said, or do you have nothing better to do? Should I assign you more tasks?""No… No need for that! I'll leave now." After being scolded, Alex left the office dejectedly. Britney was still waiting downstairs. Seeing him come out, she rushed up eagerly. "So? How did it go?"Alex scratched his head and forced a smile. "Mr. Moore said… Ms. Scott needs to come in person." Britney sighed, disappointment written all over her face. "I knew it!" Alex was about to console her when she suddenly broke into a bright smile. "Still, coming here today wasn't a total waste. At least I ran into my high school classmate and got your number!"She winked at him playfully and added, "We're both from out of town. So, we've got to look out for each other!"Alex was flustered and nodded. "Of course!""Well, I'll get going then. Let's keep in touch!" Britney shrugged off the rejection. Althou

Britney hesitated but finally gave in. "Fine, I'll give it a try." … With Laura's task weighing heavily on her shoulders, Britney set off for Valor Law Firm solemnly.As expected, it turned out exactly as she had imagined. She was turned away almost immediately.She recalled the last time she had come here with Laura. Back then, Laura had also waited for a long time. Determined to ace the interview, Britney decided to stick around and wait. Surely Simon would meet her, considering how she always supported him and Laura and had even tipped him off before. "Britney!" A voice suddenly called out. Britney turned around and her eyes lit up with surprise. "Alex? What are you doing here?" Britney added, "I had some business here. Wow, you've changed so much since high school! Do you work here? Everyone here looks so formal in their suits.""Yes, I work here." Alex was happy to see a classmate. "Are you here because of some trouble? Do you need a lawyer?"Britney explaine

After leaving Simon's office, Laura headed straight to the studio. The workday had ended when she arrived, and all her colleagues had left. Laura sat at her desk, turned on her computer, and began writing down everything she had seen and heard today. With her fingers furiously typing away, she poured out the full story of Brooks Group's workplace incident. Whether it was out of anger or agitation, the keyboard clattered loudly beneath her hands.In just 20 minutes, she had completed a full article. As she typed the last word, she began to calm down. Looking at the article that was filled with sympathy for Nick's family and criticism of Brooks Group, Laura realized she was betraying her journalistic integrity.She hesitated before deleting the draft. After all, she was a reporter. She shouldn't bring her personal feelings into her work. This article contained too much of her own bias. Such a news piece would be unprofessional. Laura sighed. She checked her phone but ther
