You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 946
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

With that, Maxwell hurriedly left for the hospital with Jennifer, taking Cassidy with them.As soon as they were gone, Camila started to cry. She sobbed to the other ladies, "I can't stay here any longer. Maxwell is completely smitten with his wife. She doesn't like me, and now neither does he. Have you ever seen a son speak to his mother like that?""Indeed, it's disgraceful!" one of the ladies comforted her, "We all noticed Jennifer's sour expression when she walked in. You're her mother-in-law! Not only is she ungrateful, but she dares to act haughty! Such disrespect!"Fiona joined in. "Camila, you returned far too late. Maxwell and Jennifer are a done deal now. Jennifer wouldn't have married Maxwell if you had returned a few years earlier! How dare a lowly woman like her disrespect her mother-in-law!"Camila continued, "You don't know the half of it! My daughter-in-law favors her son over her daughter. She only gives treats and toys to her son. My poor granddaughter is always n

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

Laura had to accept reality. Simon feigned nonchalance. "Wait for me. I have some work to finish, and then I'll take you out for dinner, alright?"Laura sat quietly on the couch nearby, listening to the sound of him typing on his computer. Her heart tightened.Her mind replayed the events of how she and Britney had gone to interview the victim's parents. Their cries echoed in her ears as did Simon's conversation with William. Finally, Laura walked over to him. "The work you're handling... Is it related to Brooks Group?" Simon paused and looked at her. "How do you know about this case?" Laura replied truthfully, "My boss assigned me to interview the victims. I... I just visited the family this afternoon and got back from the countryside not long ago.""I see." Simon didn't think much of it and even teased, "Well, it looks like we might see each other more often now. You could say we're mixing business with pleasure." Laura wasn't in the mood to joke. "Are you going to
You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 1166
But it seemed like Simon was slowly warming up, though Laura couldn't tell if it was just her imagination. Laura tapped Britney on the back of her head. "What are you daydreaming about?"Britney answered solemnly, "I'm worried about you, Laura! Let's check things out at Valor Law Firm tomorrow, okay? After all, each side has its own version of the story. Maybe Mr. Moore will have a completely different explanation tomorrow." Laura felt a sense of unease. When they reached the city center, she got out of the car. "Go back to the studio on your own. I... I need to take a walk." Britney knew Laura was planning to see Simon to clarify things. So, she didn't press the matter and drove off.Laura headed straight to Valor Law Firm. The receptionist saw her and asked, "Do you have an appointment, Ms. Scott? Mr. Moore is currently in a meeting.""It's fine. I'll just wait for him here." Laura had just sat down when she noticed Alex coming in. Alex walked over eagerly. "Are y

Laura spent the entire morning investigating the Brooks Group's construction site incident and the people involved.In the afternoon, she took Britney and visited the victim's family.The family lived in a remote rural area and looked poor. When they heard Laura was a journalist from a well-known studio, the victim's family members broke into tears. "Please, you must stand up for us!"These were ordinary people with no way of beating influential figures. Having someone to speak for them filled them with gratitude. Laura quickly helped the victim's grieving parents to their feet. The deceased worker, Nick Klaus, was only 20 years old. His parents were in their early 40s, yet their hair had turned completely white, and their wrinkles made them look much older.Laura couldn't help but feel a wave of sadness, while Britney looked like she was about to cry from sympathy.The victim's father cried, "Those bastards at Brooks Group are so heartless! It was their fault for not ensuri

Laura sighed to herself. She just needed to coordinate with Simon to get the news. Why did Joseph make it sound like such a difficult task?She promised, "Don't worry, Mr. Zone. Our News Department has coordinated with Valor Law Firm before, and we've done quite a few exclusive interviews with Mr. Moore. This shouldn't be a problem."Joseph smiled. "You're good at keeping work and personal life separate, but I haven't finished yet. The reason we're focusing on this news piece is because the family of the deceased worker is suing Brooks Group for insufficient safety measures. Plus, the workers at the site are agitated. The company is unwilling to pay compensation and hired a lawyer to minimize the settlement. The family of the deceased refuses to accept the proposed 200 thousand dollars as compensation. Both sides are at a stalemate." "200 thousand dollars?" Laura was stunned. "A human life, and they're offering only that little?" Joseph nodded. "Even you're outraged. That's why
