Chapter 701

When Jennifer arrived at work the next day, she noticed the staff in her department were avoiding her. It was clear they were discussing her behind her back.Once she was settled in her office, Hailey sauntered over with a smug smile. "Dr. Susan, I'm surprised to learn that it's not Dr. Lowe who's backing you, but Maxwell Lance, the president of Lance Group!"After returning home the previous night, Hailey contacted friends who had business dealings with Regency Manor to find out about the event that took place.To her astonishment, it turned out that Maxwell, the president of Lance Group, had rented out the entire manor to propose to Susan. The revelation stirred a deep sense of jealousy within her.Despite Hailey's best efforts, Simon had shown her little interest. Meanwhile, Jennifer had not only surpassed her in their field but also managed to attract someone as exceptional as Maxwell. For someone as fiercely competitive as Hailey, this was a bitter pill to swallow. Her v

At that moment, someone knocked on Jennifer's office door. It was Nathan.He entered with his brow deeply furrowed. "What's going on? I just returned to the department, and all the nurses were gossiping about you. Did Maxwell really propose to you?"Doesn't he know how bad this looks? Why did he make such a big show of it?"Jennifer removed the engagement ring from her finger and tossed it into her drawer. "He proposed at the Regency Manor. It was pretty private. I'm guessing Hailey spread the word, but I have no idea how she got wind of it.""Hailey?" Nathan asked with confusion. Having been away from the hospital for some time, he was out of touch with the latest department updates. Jennifer shrugged dismissively and answered, "She's just a vain and obnoxious woman, nothing more.""Whoever she is, she's been adding fuel to the fire, spreading rumors everywhere. We can't just let her do this! I overheard some nurses talking outside, and it was pretty nasty stuff," Nathan said

The person quickly inquired, "Who is it?""It's Susan, the cardiac specialist from Haven Hospital," Rachel answered, her voice laced with malice. "She just accepted Maxwell's proposal yesterday. If you can persuade her, she'll make sure you get what you're after."There was a moment of silence before the voice on the other end said, "But she's agreed to marry Maxwell. That means they're in it together, through thick and thin. How could she possibly help me?"This bid is critical for Lance Group. If it fails, Maxwell could lose all his credibility with the shareholders. What's in it for her?"Rachel sneered, "The woman in question is Maxwell's ex-wife, whom he abandoned years ago. She's back now, pretending to have lost her memory and deliberately trying to seduce him. "She's doing all this just to get revenge. Given the opportunity you're offering her, do you really think she'd pass it up?"The response came with enthusiasm. "I see it now! Ms. Walker, you're truly the wisest per

Rachel clenched her teeth in frustration and said, "If I were to expose your relationship with Nathan, Maxwell would dig into him and find out about those two kids. I'm not dumb enough to let that happen!""So? Did you come here just to ramble and blow off steam?" Jennifer asked with a raised eyebrow.Rachel's smile didn't reach her eyes as she responded, "I genuinely admire you, whether it's real or just an act. I still can't believe you agreed to marry the man who killed your father. One can only wonder if your father can forgive you for that."This was the real purpose of her visit, and just as she had anticipated, Jennifer's expression faltered.Nathan had already told Jennifer about this matter, which she had buried deep in her heart. Even thinking about it felt like her heart was being torn apart.Now, with Rachel bringing it up again, it was as if a new wound had opened. Jennifer's eyes reddened instantly. Trying to appear indifferent, she turned away and said, "I don't w

With her small face scrunched up in annoyance, Cassidy huffed, "Let's bring Mr. Lowe along! Four against one? We'd totally win!"Caleb, who usually found his sister to be quite childish, nodded in agreement. "I think Cass is right!"Jennifer was at a loss for words and immediately asked Amy to take the kids to wash up. It was only then that Nathan asked what Rachel's visit was about. Jennifer let out a weary sigh and said, "She's just jealous because Maxwell proposed to me and came by to make some harmless jabs, trying to get under my skin.""Do you honestly think what she said was just harmless jabs?"Nathan added solemnly, "Besides, it's obvious that you're upset, so don't act like you're not. Didn't we agree to be honest with each other? So tell me, what are your thoughts about your father's situation?""What do you want me to say? What's done is done. I can't exactly kill Maxwell and make him pay with his life, can I?"Jennifer's eyes glinted with a cold determination as sh

The following day, Jennifer encountered a peculiar "patient" at her clinic. Although they had made an appointment, they didn't show up until Jennifer had finished her last consultation and was about to wrap up for the day. Annoyed, Jennifer said, "I've called for you numerous times. It's been more than an hour since your appointment time. Doctors need to clock out too.""I'm sorry, Dr. Susan." The young man paused before adding, "Oh, wait. I should probably address you as Dr. Yale, shouldn't I?"Jennifer looked at him with a frown, her confusion evident. It was rare for someone to know her real name. Who was this person? Did he know her from before?"Dr. Yale, allow me to introduce myself. I'm Kevin Heat from Yeager Group. Have you heard of us? We've been a competitor of Lance Group for years."Jennifer listened with a puzzled expression. Yet, she had a feeling that Kevin wasn't there with good intentions. She leaned back and asked coldly, "And? What does this have to do with m

At Lance Group, Rachel stood at the reception desk, seething with anger. "Are you trying to get yourself fired? How dare you stop me from entering!"The receptionist no longer addressed her as "Mrs. Lance". Instead, she responded coldly, "I'm sorry, Ms. Walker. Mr. Lance has made it clear that you're not allowed to enter Lance Group without his permission."Rachel could hardly believe it. How had she ended up in a situation where even the receptionist spoke to her with such disrespect? It truly felt like she had fallen from grace.She glared at the receptionist and spat, "I won't forget this. One day, I'll make sure you're out of here!"The receptionist was fed up with Rachel and fired back, "If you were truly so capable, you wouldn't have spent five years failing to become Mrs. Lance. He even had you thrown out."Everyone knows Mr. Lance is avoiding you. And yet, you're still dreaming of becoming Mrs. Lance?""What did you say?" Rachel's eyes flashed with rage as she reached out

After a moment of silence, Maxwell countered, "What are the odds? Why does she always seem to find herself in these situations?"Seeing that he was on Jennifer's side, Michael quickly chimed in, "I agree. I don't think Mrs. Lance would do something like that. Ms. Walker must be so desperate to become your wife that she's resorted to slandering her."Maxwell remained silent for a long while before instructing in a low voice, "You should leave now and keep this between us."Even after Michael left, the sadness and gravity in Maxwell's eyes lingered.He should have known better than to think Laura would keep the truth from Jennifer. Moreover, considering Jennifer's character, she wouldn't have taken him away from Rachel if she believed Rachel was his legitimate wife.The only plausible explanation was that she was aware of past events. That was why she harbored such deep resentment and wanted to seek revenge.Maxwell had been deceiving himself all along. Jennifer's reaction to the p

"Dad, please send me a sign if there's something I should know about your death. I promise I'll uncover the truth and seek justice for you."Jennifer's heartfelt words were also directed at Maxwell. As a drizzle started and the evening grew darker, Maxwell and Jennifer finally left the cemetery. The early autumn night carried a hint of chill. Worried Jennifer might catch a cold, Maxwell removed his coat and draped it over her.She was enveloped by his warmth, a sensation she couldn't avoid or escape. Regardless, she kept reminding herself it was all just part of the act.…On their way home, Maxwell held her hand as he drove and remarked, "If your father could see you now, he'd be so proud of everything you've achieved.""Maybe. But he might also blame me for not getting to the bottom of what happened to him," Jennifer replied with a wry smile. Maxwell let out a resigned sigh. "It's been five years, and the police declared it a suicide back then. If there's more to it, it's

Chapter 710

Maxwell was aware that Jennifer hadn't come back to him out of love. He could tell that every second she spent with him was filled with resistance.As he watched her walk into the neighborhood, his expression grew increasingly somber. It was apparent that her steps became noticeably lighter as soon as she left his car. He smiled wryly at the sight. On the way back, Maxwell drove past Rachel's dance studio and noticed the lights were still on. Unable to shake the nagging questions swirling in his mind, he decided to pull over.Rachel hadn't expected Maxwell to show up this late. It seemed Michael had told him everything.She quickly made a cup of coffee and remarked with a smile, "I'm guessing you're here to ask about Jennifer, right?"Maxwell didn't respond. Instead, he looked at her sternly and demanded, "What exactly did Yeager Group want from you? I want all the details.""They wanted me to steal the bid documents from your computer, but I refused. It appears they've approach
