Yet, with all eyes on her and the criticism circulating, Jennifer could not help but feel somewhat embarrassed.Fortunately, Laura rushed over just in time, chiding, "What a bunch of busybodies! What does it matter to you whether it's genuine or an imitation? Are any of you paying for it?"Right then, Bridget walked over, putting on airs as she deliberately raised her voice. "Show some respect for my sister! After all, there's only one Heart of Rouge bracelet in the world, and I've got it on my wrist. Since Jennifer liked it, she had no choice but to buy a knock-off."With that said, Bridget raised her wrist and savored the admiration of the onlookers.Jennifer, on the other hand, did not want to waste her energy on someone like Bridget. All the former wanted was to leave as soon as possible.But Laura was different. She had a fighter's spirit and was always ready to engage in conflict.So, she scoffed and uttered, "Have you heard of the saying 'clothes don't make the man'? Eve

Frida proceeded to explain to everyone, "This is the bracelet I sold. So, I know it better than anyone else."After saying that, she looked at Bridget and asked, "Miss, may I have a look at your bracelet?"Bridget shot Frida a disdainful glare. She thought the latter was there to cause trouble.With an arrogant demeanor, Bridget extended her hand and said, "Look carefully then! This is a rare pink diamond worth tens of millions."Frida examined the bracelet before saying with a faint smile, "Miss, this diamond of yours is lab-grown. "Real diamonds have a pure, white sparkle with exceptional brilliance and hardness. While yours is a dyed moissanite, even the refracted light is multicolored."At that moment, several wealthy women who knew Frida mockingly told Bridget, "Mrs. Lowe is a jewelry appraiser. She's been in the industry for decades. No one knows jewelry better than her."Right away, the situation took a dramatic turn. Jennifer could not believe it and immediately looke

Jennifer froze. It took her quite a while to steady her heartbeat.With a cold smirk playing on his lips, the man gripped her chin with one hand and said, "Impressive. Making a scene at the ball because of jealousy, huh? Did you and your sister happily sign up to be treated like playthings?"Jennifer understood his insult. She forcefully pushed his hand away and retorted, "Mind your words! Maxwell Lance, even if I'm being toyed with, what does it have to do with you?""Is that so? Let me show you just how much it has to do with me, then!"In an instant, a glint of menace flashed across Maxwell's eyes as he suddenly pulled her closer.With a swift turn, he pressed Jennifer firmly against the cold door."Maxwell, you!"Jennifer refused to believe he would act recklessly. After all, people would pass by outside at any moment.It was not until she saw the flicker of desire in Maxwell's icy gaze that she realized she was wrong.There was nothing he would not dare or could not do.

Jennifer felt a sharp pang in her heart upon hearing that. With an indifferent tone, she replied, "This has nothing to do with me. You can do whatever you like."She had endured the mockery of many at the ball, as well as the bullying of Bridget. However, not only did Maxwell fail to help her, but he also humiliated her in such a manner.He finally crushed the last straw in Jennifer's heart, and she finally gave up all hope.Rachel's name was haunting her like a nightmare, constantly echoing in her ears.It struck Jennifer that Maxwell might never disrespect Rachel like that. A wry smile played on her lips, with a hint of mockery. Suddenly, Maxwell felt his sincere explanations might come across as unwarranted to Jennifer.His expression turned cold, saying, "I'll have the driver take you home later. Also, take off the bracelet and return it to Jordan as soon as possible. Don't let me see you wearing it again!"Jennifer did not respond. Instead, she stared at the bracelet in

Maxwell took out a packet of cigarettes, lit one up, and took a deep drag, allowing the smoke to enter his lungs. With each exhale, he felt like a weight had been lifted from his chest.…After Laura left the lounge with Jennifer, they slipped out of the venue through the back door. Jennifer remained numb even as they sat in the car.But her tears continued to flow as if floodgates had opened within her.A forlorn smile played on Jennifer's lips as she uttered inexplicably, "He probably couldn't bear to treat Rachel like that, right?"Having experienced Maxwell's affection and gentleness, Jennifer knew better what a man's love should look like. Everything he bestowed upon her was precious, yet it was readily available to Rachel.Laura's rage intensified as she understood what Jennifer meant. She slammed the steering wheel hard and declared, "Jennifer, have you made up your mind? Once you've decided, I'll help you with the divorce!""We can't fight with him," Jennifer res

At that moment, Simon's phone rang. Even without a caller ID, he knew who the caller was. But he had not expected the call. In fact, Simon had given Laura his card at the ball, which she tossed away in front of him. Yet here she was, calling him. Simon glanced at Maxwell beside him, answered the call, and deliberately put it on speaker. Laura's voice came through. Her tone was no longer arrogant like before. Instead, she softly inquired, "Mr. Moore, do you have a moment?""Ms. Scott, don't you think it's rather impolite to call me at this hour?" Simon replied with a smirk.On the other end of the line, there was silence. Nevertheless, the call was still connected, the only sound being Laura's cautious breathing. Simon knew she had a favor to ask. Otherwise, Laura would have ended the call long ago and might even have cursed at him. Not wanting to come on too strong from the start, he said, "Ms. Scott, if you have something to say, then go ahead. My time is precious. P

After ending the call with Laura, Simon turned off his phone and flashed a meaningful smile at Maxwell."Hey, she just said you're creative in that aspect? How creative did you get? Mind teaching me your ways?" he asked intentionally."Get lost!" Maxwell shoved Simon aside.He reckoned Laura had a death wish. Nothing she said about Maxwell was true and even went all out to slander him. Simon pretended to be in distress as he said, "What should I do now? On one side, a beautiful woman is asking for help, and on the other is my best friend. It's so hard to choose!"Maxwell showed his disregard for the matter by letting out a disdainful snort. "Go ahead and help them. I'd like to see if they can shake things up!"Simon looked at him with surprise. "Are you saying you want me to take on Jennifer's case and sue you?""Yes, take on her case and bring it on!"After saying that, Maxwell leaned back on the couch and pinched his nose bridge. He already had a plan in mind. He wanted

At that thought, a wave of regret and heartache swept through Maxwell.Coupled with the fact that he had treated Jennifer badly last night, it was no surprise that she was desperate enough to beg Simon just to divorce Maxwell."Starting today, your monthly salary will be tripled. Please take good care of her, and I'll make sure you're fairly compensated," Maxwell suddenly told Martha.She was momentarily stunned. Initially, she was mentally ready to be fired, but to her surprise, Maxwell gave her a raise.With that, he hurried to the bathroom.After freshening up, he drove to the Scott residence.…When Laura's father, Harry, saw Maxwell pulling up to the Scott residence, he thought he was seeing things.The eldest son of the wealthiest family in Haven City and the current president of Lance Group was visiting them.

With a melancholic smile, Jennifer answered, "It doesn't matter anymore! Whether it was my birthday or any other day, the person you choose will always be Rachel. "But tell me, Maxwell, what have I done wrong? Why do you keep hurting and humiliating me like this?"Her swollen, red-rimmed eyes were brimming with tears. Nevertheless, she held them back, determined not to let them fall. Maxwell was not one to back down easily, so he quickly came up with an excuse."Grandpa is getting older. I'm afraid that our sudden divorce would be too much for him to handle."The pain in Jennifer's heart intensified after hearing that. It turned out that Maxwell had been dragging the divorce solely because of Robert. How could she have been so foolish and harbored hope that he would eventually come around and see her worth? Jennifer rubbed her eyes vigorously and said stubbornly, "Then tell him that I've cheated on you, that I'm not worthy of being his granddaughter-in-law. That way, Grandpa

Or perhaps Jennifer did not make herself clear?Suddenly, it was as if Maxwell had read her thoughts. He smirked and said, "Jennifer, you'll come back eventually."His tone was cold yet confident.Laura watched his retreating figure, gritting her teeth in frustration as she told Jennifer, "That despicable man! He's taking advantage of your soft heart and assuming you can't bear to divorce him!"Jennifer realized that her emotions had been tied to how Maxwell treated her. It was as if he determined every bit of joy, anger, and sorrow she experienced.She did not want a life like that anymore. She did not want to endure sleepless nights, nor did she want him to control her emotions. Jennifer longed for a life free from fear and uncertainty, where she did not need to be burdened by worries.Therefore, she had decided. "You told me you had found Simon to take on my case last night. Is that true? Given his relationship with Maxwell, how could he possibly help me?" Jennifer asked L
