Tears suddenly welled up in Madison's eyes as if she had been frightened. She choked, "Mr. Lance, it was... It was Mrs. Lance Senior who asked me to bring you some tea. I'm the new maid. My name is Madison."Maxwell then remembered what Jennifer had told him earlier about the new maid. It seemed like she was a hardworking yet pitiful girl with a tragic background. His gaze softened. "Leave the tea there. In the future, knock before coming in.""Yes, I understand," Madison mumbled. "I did knock earlier, but there was no response, so I came in. It won't happen again."Maxwell hummed and took out his laptop to start working. Noticing that the girl hadn't left, he looked at her in confusion. "Is there something else?"Madison's eyes glistened and softly said, "Thank you for supporting my education, Mr. Lance. I will work hard and repay you in the future."Maxwell frowned. "The person you should be thanking is Jennifer. It's her who's helping you. Now, if there's nothing else, you can

After a long night, Jennifer emerged from the operating room, exhausted.When she arrived at her office, her colleagues exclaimed, "Dr. Susan, your husband is here!"Jennifer looked up. Sure enough, Maxwell was sitting at her desk waiting for her."Why are you here?" Jennifer took off her mask and smiled at him. For some reason, all her fatigue seemed to vanish when she saw him.Noticing her tired eyes, Maxwell walked over and said softly, "I was worried you hadn't had breakfast, so I brought some for you. Did you spend the whole night in surgery?"Jennifer nodded. "Yeah, it was a tough case. But luckily, the surgery was a success, and we saved the patient's life."Pride shone in her eyes as she spoke.Maxwell understood that Jennifer was passionate about being a doctor. Even though he worried about how hard she worked, he knew he had to support her."Alright, eat your breakfast first." Maxwell sat beside her and watched her eat as if he could never get enough of looking at her

Jennifer's expression grew solemn. "Mom, there are many things between Maxwell and me that you don't know. I don't blame you for that. But I'm exhausted and need some rest. Please talk to Maxwell if you have any issues."With that, Jennifer stood up and walked upstairs.Camila looked at her in disbelief. "This is completely out of line! How can a daughter-in-law act like this?"Just then, Madison walked over and handed Camila a cup of tea. "Please don't be upset, Mrs. Lance Senior. I guess businesswomen are just like that. Honestly, I think she's a bit too assertive. After all, you're her mother-in-law, but she doesn't seem to respect you."Camila grew even angrier and smashed the cup to the ground. She shouted toward the master bedroom upstairs, "No matter how assertive she is, she's still the daughter-in-law of the Lance family, and she should follow the family's rules! If she doesn't want the position, plenty of others would gladly take it!"Jennifer wasn't one to be trifled wi

"Thank you, Mrs. Lance. This is my job." Madison sweetly responded, "I can never repay the kindness you and Mr. Lance have shown me."Maxwell interjected, "Alright, Jennifer told you to study, so go and study. Don't linger here. I need to talk to her."Madison thought Maxwell was being considerate of her and blushed. "Thank you, Mr. Lance."With that, she left the kitchen.Maxwell frowned and muttered to Jennifer, "This girl keeps going on about gratitude. It's quite annoying."Jennifer rolled her eyes at him. "That's called being grateful. I think Madison is quite nice!"After eating, Maxwell said, "Go back to the bedroom while I check on Mom. By the way, your period... is over, right?"Jennifer caught on and blushed. "Do you really want a third child?"Maxwell chuckled softly. "There's nothing wrong with that. Besides, even if we don't want a third child, can't I still be close to my wife?"Jennifer blushed and quickly pushed him away. "Okay, go check on your mom."So, Maxw

However, while Martha was suspicious, she had no evidence and didn't want to speak carelessly. She coldly warned Madison, "You should go back and rest. Don't keep hanging around the master bedroom."Madison nodded. "I understand."With that, she left with the book in hand.The next morning, Martha went to the master bedroom. Taking advantage of Maxwell's absence, she quietly told Jennifer about this matter. She said sternly, "Mrs. Lance, you must be cautious of Madison. Last night, I saw her standing at the door eavesdropping."Jennifer was in disbelief. "How... is that possible? Why would she do that?""That's why I find her strange." Martha sighed. "I've been with the Lance family for many years. Have you ever seen me gossip about anyone? But Madison was brought in by Mrs. Lance Senior, so you must be careful. Don't end up letting her backstab you."Jennifer trusted Martha, especially since Martha had always taken great care of her and treated her like a daughter. But what coul
