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

Seeing Maxwell return, Fiona walked over with a smile. "Maxwell, you won at life! Your mother has returned, and you have your wife and children with you. I'm envious. I wish Simon could have the same happy family one day!"Maxwell forced a smile. "You flatter me, Mrs. Moore. Simon's just taking his time finding the perfect daughter-in-law for you."Camila approached Jennifer and took her hand. "I have the best daughter-in-law. I can enjoy my life in peace with her around. Jennifer, go greet Mrs. Moore properly!"Jennifer caught on to Camila's intentions. What a sly woman! Camila was announcing her return by inviting the high-society ladies over. It would make it much harder for anyone to send her away in the future.The ladies would visit her for the holidays with everyone aware of her return. And if Camila ever decided to spread gossip, it would only embarrass Maxwell, Jennifer, and their family. Jennifer's gaze sharpened. Camila certainly knew how to play her hand! But Jennifer

But this was a foolish and hypothetical question. So, Jennifer stopped herself from going any further.Yet Maxwell seemed to know her unspoken worry. "I would choose you."Jennifer's heart skipped a beat and she smiled. She took out the sweets she had bought for Cassidy. "By the way, how come Cass is so quiet today? She'll usually be playing in the yard when I return from work."Maxwell chuckled. "She's probably sulking from the talk you gave her yesterday. She's likely up in her room trying to prove herself."Jennifer pursed her lips. "I'd be thrilled if that's true!"With that, they took the sweets up to Cassidy's room."Where is she?" Maxwell glanced around the room in confusion.Jennifer noticed the bathroom door was closed. She knocked. "Cass, are you in there?"They heard the girl's cries inside. "Mommy, my tummy hurts. I've got a stomachache!"Jennifer frowned. "What happened? Why do you have a stomachache?"Maxwell tugged on her sleeve and whispered, "Look under there

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
