"We'll see about that!" Maxwell growled. Then he shoved Jennifer against the wall and began kissing her roughly. He even pinned her flailing arms behind her back.Jennifer's eyes widened. How could he kiss her? They were about to get divorced! Rachel was even sleeping in their marital bed!Yet Maxwell was still kissing her. His kiss was incredibly domineering, overwhelming Jennifer until she had no choice but to yield.Suddenly, Jennifer bit down hard on Maxwell's lip, making blood seep into her mouth. This angered Maxwell even further. He tore away from her lips and clasped her chin, asking darkly, "What? We're still married, aren't we? Can't I kiss you?""N-No… " Jennifer struggled with all her might. She knew Maxwell was her husband, but that would soon no longer be the case. Plus, Maxwell was plainly humiliating her. He didn't actually want her.But men and women were always so different in this regard.Maxwell tore Jennifer's clothes off, leaving them scattered on the floo

"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, "

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

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

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
