Chapter 1041

Laura bit her lip. She knew Simon was a master at humiliation. He never needed to use crude words to hit where it hurt the most. She retorted, "Mr. Fowler isn't like a certain someone who takes advantage of others! He's the most upright lawyer I've ever met"Although she appeared to be opposing him, Simon wasn't as angry as before. He must have realized that someone with Laura's personality probably wouldn't be won over by a few bouquets of flowers.He smirked. "Well then, I wish you all the best in rescuing your father!"Laura smiled. "Don't worry, my father's case is progressing smoothly!" After finishing the dishes, Laura let out a long sigh of relief. "Now, can I finally leave?" Simon glanced at the time. It was nearly midnight, and the dark sky outside made even him feel uneasy. He tossed her his car keys. "Take my car. Let me know once you're home." Laura took the keys, her confusion and surprise evident. Simon cleared his throat. "Don't overthink it. I'm just

Chapter 1042

Lionel had a feeling that Simon was interested in Laura. Yet when he tested the waters by messaging Simon yesterday, he didn't manage to provoke him. And Simon seemed completely calm when he brought up Laura. Was Laura nothing more than a pastime for Simon? If that were the case, then Lionel would lose his only leverage against Simon. Without any weaknesses to exploit, how could he ever compete with Simon in Haven City?Lionel reflected on his rivalry with Simon, which stretched all the way back to their university days. Simon was as cunning as a fox. Even if he did have feelings for Laura, he would never easily reveal them in front of Lionel.Lionel narrowed his eyes and began formulating a plan. If Laura truly was Simon's Achilles' heel, then Lionel could also hold Simon by the tail by keeping Laura firmly in his grasp. …Laura was at her desk, working on an article when a group of dessert shop servers suddenly entered the newsroom.They handed out afternoon tea to every

That evening, Laura gathered her things and walked out of the studio. As she reached the building's entrance, she was surprised to see Lionel waiting there. "Mr. Fowler?" Laura frowned. "Are you here to meet someone?" Lionel smiled. "I'm here to find you. So, how was the afternoon tea I ordered?" Laura froze, staring at him in disbelief. So, the afternoon tea wasn't from Simon but from Lionel. A wave of disappointment washed over her. Of course, why would Simon possibly do something like that? That wasn't his style at all. Even if he were to do something so romantic, it would only be for Hailey. What was she even thinking? How ridiculous to let her imagination run wild. "Ms. Scott?" Lionel reached out as if to touch her arm, but she quickly stepped back to avoid him. Laura muttered awkwardly, "Mr. Fowler, how much did the afternoon tea cost? I'll transfer the money to you." "There's no need." Lionel smiled. "Treating a beautiful woman to tea is my honor. Speaking of

Laura replied bitterly, "You don't need to waste your time on me. I only see you as my father's attorney." With that, she turned and left. She had hesitated and struggled when it came to Simon. Even now, she couldn't fully understand the game she was playing with him. But when it came to others, Laura was still as firm as always. No one could sway her. However, Lionel couldn't accept being rejected by a woman like Laura. To him, Laura was nothing more than a plaything Simon kept around, someone with no family background or a good career. It was only because Simon seemed interested in her that Lionel was willing to make an effort. Otherwise, he wouldn't have wasted his time on her. But despite all he had done, Laur failed to appreciate his efforts. Did she really think she could marry Simon? Or did she believe Lionel was inferior to Simon? Lionel brooded for a long time. It wasn't until he saw Laura walk to the driver's seat of a Bentley that he realized Simon

Simon snorted. "You'll pay for the damages? Quite the bold claim! Looks like Lionel is being very generous to you, willing to spend lavishly on your behalf. How exactly do you plan to pay?" Laura teared up at his words. If it weren't for Lionel, she wouldn't have been distracted and crashed the car. Her anger and frustration boiled over at the mention of Lionel. "Say whatever you want!" she snapped, stomping off. Simon followed her. "So, that's it? You're running away again? Weren't you the one who said you'd pay for the damages?" Laura stopped in her tracks, turned around, and glared at him. "Fine! Go ahead and sue me! Aren't you a lawyer? Go on, sue me!" Simon couldn't help but laugh at her childish defiance. He realized that without him holding the reins, Laura was like a wild animal set loose, completely unrestrained. She was headstrong, stubborn, and unreasonable. Did she forget that the leash was still in his hands? He had only loosened it for a while, and now sh

Laura quickly ran to the bedroom to retrieve the stomach medicine. She then poured a glass of water. "Here, take this."Simon noticed how alluring Laura looked despite being nervous. He swallowed hard as he accepted the water and medicine. His gaze darkened after taking it and he suddenly pulled Laura into his arms. He grabbed her chin and said huskily, "Do you care about me that much?" Laura felt as if he had hit a nerve. She quickly wriggled out of his embrace and denied, "Why would I? As you said, it's time to face reality." Simon's mood soured after not getting the answer he wanted. He said coldly, "I've been busy all night cleaning up the mess from the accident. And I haven't even had dinner. Why else would my stomach start acting up?" Laura felt guilty. "What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you." Simon ordered, "Make me some spaghetti." Laura nodded and quickly went to the kitchen. Simon's expression softened at her retreating figure. Not long aft

Laura's face fell as she hung the blue suit in the closet, carefully matching it with a tie and shirt before finally leaving.She felt this arrangement was quite good. She was nothing but an ordinary housekeeper and he was her employer. Neither of them would feel burdened or troubled. Who he loved or who he would end up with didn't matter. No, Simon probably wouldn't be troubled by any of that. The one feeling conflicted was her. Laura tried to clear her head as she walked down the streets. She hadn't felt too conflicted earlier, had she? She had calmly chosen the perfect suit for him to wear when meeting the family of his fiancee, after all. ... The next afternoon, the entire news department benefited once again thanks to Laura. "Laura! Simon is spoiling you. Today's afternoon tea is even fancier than yesterday's! It's from that famous restaurant at Gold Guardian. It's super expensive!" Britney's eyes sparkled with envy as she gushed over Laura. Her other colleag

Laura sneered to herself. Simon probably saw her as nothing more than a plaything. Why should she bother guessing what his actions meant? She shouldn't take Simon's every move too seriously. After all, he had plans to meet his future in-laws tonight! While lost in thoughts, her phone suddenly buzzed. It was a message from Simon. "How was the afternoon tea?"Laura's heart skipped a beat. She wanted to call him boring, but instead, she typed: "My colleagues said it was great. Thank you."Almost immediately, another message came through. "How does it compare to Lionel's?"Laura blinked in surprise. Before she could reply, the message was retracted. …At the same time, Simon sat in his office, shaking his head with a self-deprecating smile as he closed the chat. He was clearly wasting his time. Why would he compare himself to someone like Lionel? That was beneath him. Besides, Laura was just a woman he kept around. Why should he care about her thoughts or feelings? He could on

Hailey had grown up in a wealthy family and was skilled at dealing with elders. She took out a gift she had prepared and handed it to Fiona. "You mentioned that you often feel dizzy, so I got this herbal tea for you. Please try it. I'll bring more for you if it helps." "Hailey, you're such a thoughtful child! It's rare to find someone as considerate as you." Fiona praised her. Then she turned to Simon. "You'd better treat Hailey well. I won't let you off the hook if you miss out on such a wonderful lady!" Simon forced a smile. "Mom, let's invite Mr. and Mrs. Brooks in. We can talk while we eat." Fiona nodded. "Oh, right. I got so excited that I forgot. Come, my dear in-laws. Please take your seats!" With that, everyone sat down at the dining table. Sophia was pleased with Simon. She smiled. "Fiona, don't you think Hailey and Simon are a perfect match?" But William didn't share the sentiment. As a man, he could see Simon's indifference. There wasn't even a trace of

Fiona quickly turned to Simon. "Simon, raise your glass and toast William to apologize." Simon didn't want to, but he couldn't embarrass his mother in front of everyone. He lifted his glass and said to William, "I apologize for my thoughtlessness." William was determined to teach his future son-in-law a lesson. "That's it? A single toast? You should have three to start with! Simon, you're a lawyer. I'm sure you've had plenty of business dinners. I bet you can handle your liquor!" Simon didn't flinch and proceeded to drink with him. By the end of the exchange, William was drunk while Simon remained composed, with only a faint flush on his face.Hailey was fuming, secretly cursing her father for being so embarrassing. They were supposed to discuss their engagement over dinner. But instead, her father turned it into a drinking contest with Simon. And worse, he lost! Hailey wanted her mother to step in and salvage the situation. However, William had already begun ramb
