Laura said reproachfully, "Jennifer is with me now! What's your problem? You even brought the mistress back home. You're also acting arrogantly and treating Jennifer like dirt. She's just trying to vent to her friends. Why does it bother you?"Instead of getting angry, Maxwell patiently responded, "Send me your address then. I'll come pick her up.""Heh, you're coming to pick her up? What's this? Are you planning to keep two women at home? Do you think you're some kind of king?" Laura kept dodging Jennifer's attempts to snatch the phone. She said to Maxwell, "Jennifer is also a clean freak. She won't stay where the other woman has lived!"Laura originally intended to stand up for Jennifer and let Maxwell know that Jennifer wasn't someone to be messed with.However, to her surprise, Maxwell suddenly said, "Isn't she the one who wants a divorce? Tell her to come home and sign the agreement."Laura was stunned. She had wanted to give Maxwell a good scolding, but he had already hung u

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Maxwell was amused and puzzled by her gaze.He reached out to tidy her chestnut curly hair and admired her defined collarbones as he remarked, "If you wear that pink diamond necklace at the charity gala in a couple of days, you'll be stunning." Upon hearing that, Jennifer felt a wave of warmth washing over her from deep within and spreading to every corner of her body.Looking up with clear and sincere eyes, she responded with great seriousness, "Maxwell, I don't need such expensive gifts. I'm just a student after all. But your words just now mean more to me than any gift ever could."Maxwell looked at her deeply. He hadn't realized that the slightest warmth from him could bring her such contentment. Remembering how he had acted so harshly toward her that night, Maxwell was overwhelmed with guilt.He lowered his head, pressing his forehead against hers, and whispered, "Jennifer, I'm sorry."Jennifer trembled all over as she felt an unfamili

Laura asked eagerly, "How did you two make up last night? Tell me all about it."Jennifer felt too ashamed to answer. In reality, it was just wishful thinking on her part. Their problems still remained, Rachel hadn't disappeared, and the wall that stood between them persisted.It wasn't true reconciliation. It was merely her one-sided concession.Witnessing Jennifer's hesitancy, Laura suddenly burst into laughter."What's so funny?" Jennifer asked as she looked at her in confusion.Laura covered her mouth and said, "Could it be that you two... did that again last night?"Jennifer's face turned red instantly, and she retorted, "Stop making things up, or I won't talk to you anymore!"Laura suddenly recalled the purpose of her visit to Jennifer today and said, "Oh, by the way, are you going to the charity gala tomorrow? It's said that Heart of Rouge will also make an appearance at the gala. Let's go together and check it out!"Jennifer shook her head and said, "I have my postgradu

Jennifer couldn't bring herself to like Bridget, so she couldn't show much favor toward her. She asked casually, "Where's Grandpa?""He's in the study talking with Jordan's parents," Bridget replied with a somewhat smug smile. She added, "They're probably discussing our wedding. After all, I'm already carrying Jordan's child. It wouldn't be proper to be pregnant and not get married, would it?"Jordan's face went pale as he stayed silent. Seeing Jennifer still there only made him feel more suffocated. He wished he could shut Bridget up.Maxwell was the only one who remained composed. He even said to Bridget, "You shouldn't stand when you're pregnant. Please, have a seat.""Thank you, Maxwell," Bridget immediately responded sweetly. She even felt Maxwell had already started treating her like family.Jordan caught on to Maxwell's sarcasm. He said angrily, "I'm going out for some fresh air!"With that, he briskly left the room. Jordan, where are you going?" Bridget hurriedly caught u

That also meant Jennifer was very important to Maxwell.Maxwell smiled and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"Jennifer thought he was such a good guy, but sadly, he wasn't hers to keep. Even if he bought her that pink diamond necklace, it didn't mean anything. He was still going to divorce her.After all, Rachel would never give up!Jennifer blinked her slightly moist eyes. "I'm starting to feel reluctant to leave you."Maxwell was slightly startled. He bent down to kiss her forehead. "Then stay by my side forever, okay?" Jennifer looked at him with confusion. She didn't understand what that meant. If they got divorced and she stayed by his side, then she would be no different from Rachel....Meanwhile, Bridget was driven back to the Yale residence by the Lance family's driver. She felt exceptionally honored.Walking in with her head held high, she addressed her parents, "Mom, Dad, when are you available? Mr. Lance Senior said he wants to invite you over to discus
