Chapter 281

After saying good night to Martha, Jennifer sat on the bed, hugging her knees. Slowly, a sense of peace washed over her.She calmly thought about it and concluded that this was for the best. Maxwell seemed to detest her more with each passing day. It was only a matter of time before he could not take it anymore and would ask for a divorce. As long as they were divorced, Rachel would spare Zion. With that in mind, Jennifer felt that everything she was enduring now would be worth it. Right then, Bridget's voice rang out from upstairs. "Hey! Mr. Lance, you're naughty!""Be gentle, Mr. Lance!"Her shrieks were loud. It was as if she wanted to wake everyone in the villa up.A sharp pang shot through Jennifer's heart. She immediately pressed her hands over her ears to drown out the noise. She repeatedly told herself that it would not matter who Maxwell ended up with once she divorced him. Jennifer had to get used to such a life. Maxwell was not hers anymore.…Meanwhile,

When Bridget appeared in the cardiac surgery department, Jennifer looked at her in surprise. "What are you doing here?" the latter inquired."I brought you breakfast." Bridget smirked and continued, "My dear sister, I'm sure it's uncomfortable living in the storage room, right? The feeling of hunger is unpleasant too, isn't it?"Jennifer was not one to display any signs of weakness before her. She cast an arrogant glance at Bridget before saying, "If you're here to show off, you can leave now. You can boast once you've taken the position of Mrs. Lance."Her response elicited a chuckle from Bridget."I no longer want to be Mrs. Lance. After all, I'm not as proud as you. All I want is to stay by Maxwell's side. That way, I can live comfortably for the rest of my life."Jennifer replied, "Congratulations then. I hope Maxwell lives up to your expectations and becomes a financial supporter you can take advantage of."Having said her piece, Jennifer turned to leave. There were stil

"Are you telling me she's not?" Khloe looked at Bridget in a daze. The former's curiosity intensified at that moment. Realization dawned upon Bridget and a cunning plan formed in her mind. The corners of her lips curled into a smirk as she replied, "Of course she's not! My sister is great at everything. Unfortunately, she likes to lie and does it all the time! I'm afraid she has deceived you, doctor.""W-What?" Khloe pressed on, "I don't understand. What did your sister lie to me about?""To be honest, she's not Mr. Lance's cousin. She's his kept woman! But how could she publicly admit such things?" Bridget replied.Khloe stared at her in shock. She could not believe what she had just heard. "A-Are you telling the truth? She and Mr. Lance… They're involved like that?"Bridget flashed a knowing smile at Khloe, who panicked. But more than that, she felt a surge of resentment. Khloe had always suspected something was off about Jennifer. However, since the latter was Maxwell's

Jennifer was taken aback. She had only stepped out for ten minutes, and Khloe had already reported her.Left with no choice, she set her phone down and headed to the Academic Affairs Office. There, the teacher gave Jennifer a harsh scolding. They even warned her that any further slip-ups would mean being sent back to her school.Jennifer understood what being sent back to school during her internship meant. It signified that she wouldn't be able to complete her internship, which also meant she couldn't graduate, let alone sit for grad school entrance exams. Jennifer, feeling disheartened, returned to her department. Khloe was sitting in a chair with her arms crossed. She appeared ready to interrogate Jennifer."So, you've finally decided to return, huh? I had to escalate matters to the Academic Affairs Office because, as your attending physician, I could no longer keep you in line."Jennifer looked at her in confusion. Hadn't Khloe treated her fairly well in the past? She h

Since Maxwell did not reprimand Bridget, it only emboldened her to comment further.At that sight, Martha could not help but feel sorry for Jennifer. Martha had not expected Maxwell's affection to come and go so swiftly. It seemed like he had already cast Jennifer aside and was flirting with a new woman.On the other hand, Jennifer resumed her tasks after ending the call with Martha. Even the doctor on the night shift could not bear it any longer and grumbled, "There's so much to do! How could Khloe let an intern like you do all this? "She sure knows how to make her life easier by developing a way to supervise from afar. This way, she can also ensure nothing goes wrong. It's just unfortunate for you. It's already past 10:00 pm, and you still have to work overtime."Jennifer said gratefully to the doctor, "It's okay, doctor. As long as I can learn a thing or two, it's fine.""What can you learn from her? She'll only ask you to do mundane tasks that don't require any technical

Looking at the darkened sky outside, Bridget found it odd that Jennifer had not returned yet. Could it be that she had run away from home and was not planning to come back? Bridget wished Jennifer would disappear forever. Thus, she asked tentatively, "Mr. Lance, would you like to rest now? You've been working all day. It must be exhausting."Maxwell glanced at the clock. How could he sleep with Jenifer still not back?Ultimately, he gave in to the worry gripping his heart.Maxwell grabbed his coat and hurried out the door. Watching his retreating figure, Bridget clenched her fingers in frustration and muttered, "You and Jennifer will never have a happy ending!"…It was 11:00 pm when Jennifer finally finished all the tasks Khloe had assigned her. She was now free to go home. But alas, the last subway train had left by then. Jennifer was somewhat annoyed. Since the car belonged to Maxwell, she had not driven it in the morning. So now, she could only walk along the roa

Maxwell's eyes turned red, exuding a subtle air of menace. Initially, he did not want to let the two scoundrels off so easily.However, Jennifer grabbed him, her voice soft as she pleaded, "Stop fighting. I want to go home. Let's go home." Only then did Maxwell yield. He delivered a kick to each of the two thugs before wrapping his arm around Jennifer and leading her into his car. Jennifer, still shaken, leaned back against the seat in a daze. Tears welled up in her eyes, yet she held them back. "Are you out of your mind? It's so late. Why didn't you call back home and have the driver pick you up?" Maxwell growled.Despite his anger, Jennifer did not feel upset. Instead, a comforting warmth surged from within.His mention of "home" provided her with a sense of belonging on such a cold night. Maxwell's anger surged as he thought of how those men had harassed Jennifer earlier and what might have happened if he arrived later. "Jennifer Yale! Cat got your tongue? Why are you

Had Maxwell been injured during the fight earlier?Suddenly, a wave of worry washed over Jennifer, and she rushed to catch up with him.Unfortunately, Maxwell's pace was too fast. At that moment, he had already entered the room.Jennifer hesitated at the master bedroom door. After a long while, she finally knocked.However, it was Bridget who opened the door. "Jennifer, it's late. Is the storage room too cold for you to sleep?"Bridget leaned against the door, her wavy hair cascading over her shoulders and exuding an air of seductive charm. A sharp pang shot through Jennifer's heart. Nevertheless, she suppressed her emotions before saying calmly, "Maxwell is hurt. I'm here to check on him. If he's fine, I'll leave." As soon as those words escaped from her lips, Maxwell's frosty voice came from inside. "No need. Ask her to leave!"Jennifer's face immediately turned pale with embarrassment.Bridget's lips curled into a mocking smirk. "Did you hear that? Mr. Lance doesn't wan

Bridget took the opportunity to fuss over Maxwell. "Mr. Lance, I'll feed you since you hurt your hand."That said, she offered him spoonfuls of oatmeal and some pastries. Bridget noticed that while Maxwell was unkind to her in private, he treated her respectfully in front of Jennifer.Since this was the case, why shouldn't she make the most of the opportunity?Bridget was determined to make Jennifer lose all hope and leave the villa for good one day. Jennifer pretended not to see anything as she ate her breakfast in silence.However, Maxwell felt disappointed at that sight. He pushed Bridget's hand away and uttered, "I'm full. I'm heading to the office now."As soon as he rose, Jennifer hurriedly stood up to follow him. It was not until they reached the garage that Maxwell halted in his tracks and said, "Stop following me!""Let me take a look at your wound."Jennifer grew increasingly concerned at the sight of the messy bandage. She stepped forward to grab his left hand

Jennifer crouched in front of Maxwell, carefully tending to his wound.She had never gotten flustered when changing dressings for other patients. Even the most gruesome surgical wounds did not make her nervous. But for some reason, the sight of the injury Maxwell had sustained while fighting for her caused her profound heartache and sadness to the point her hands trembled slightly.It seemed like Maxwell had noticed her unease. So, he could not help but comfort her, "Just treat me like any other patient. Think of this as practice."To prevent Jennifer from feeling nervous or worried, Maxwell gritted his teeth and endured the intense sting of alcohol on his wound.When Jennifer finally finished changing the dressing, a sheen of sweat appeared on her forehead.Maxwell, on the other hand, had been observing her the entire time.He clearly saw the pain, worry, and affection in her eyes. Maxwell remained silent, seemingly deep in thought.Jennifer rose to her feet and threw the u
