Maxwell hurried to Jennifer, stumbling over his words as he tried to explain, "Jennifer, don't cry. I promise I didn't..."Before he could finish, Jennifer burst into tears and ran out angrily. Maxwell immediately chased after her.However, Camila grabbed him and shouted, "Why are you chasing her? She's like this because you've spoiled her! Let her be! Let's see how long she'll keep this up. Do you think she would give up our family's wealth?"Maxwell looked at Camila in disbelief. "Mom, did you hire Madison just to make Jennifer misunderstand?"Camilla looked guilty. "So what if I did? Jennifer doesn't truly love you! Otherwise, why would she be so attached to her job? Why is she so against having another child with you? Maxwell, I would never harm you, I...""Mom!" Maxwell interrupted. "You don't understand Jennifer and have no right to say that about her! Get rid of Madison! I'll sever our ties if she's still here when I return!"With that, Maxwell turned and rushed out to fin

Jennifer finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Did you tell him about your identity? And what happened with Rachel?"Hugo nodded. "Of course, I told him! He's staying with me! I can't still have him refer to Maxwell as his father, can I? As for his mother, she got what she deserved!"Jennifer was shocked. "You told him that?""What else should I have told him?" Hugo shrugged nonchalantly. "Rachel deserved it. Do you expect me to tell him that his mom died a heroic death?"Jennifer sighed in frustration. "I don't even want to argue with you. I'm going in to see him. Stop saying things like that to him from now on."With that, Jennifer opened the door and went inside."Jasper..." Jennifer looked at the little boy sitting on the bed, knees drawn up, staring into space. She pitied him. "You've lost weight."He was even more frail than before and was practically skin and bones.Jasper looked up, his emotionless eyes meeting hers. "Is my mom really like he said? Is my mom dead? And tha

Hugo gritted his teeth. That damned woman had not only destroyed his family 20 years ago, but now she had come back to wreak havoc on Jennifer's life!Just then, Jennifer walked over and apologized, "I'm sorry for the mess we made here. I'll take responsibility and pay for the damages."Hugo's expression darkened. He pulled her into a room and made her sit down. "Tell me everything. Did Maxwell cheat on you again? Or did your mother-in-law abuse you? Speak!"Jennifer looked at him fearfully. Hugo's expression was terrifying. Unable to hold it in any longer, Jennifer finally poured out all her grievances from the past few days. She felt much better afterward as if a weight had been lifted off her shoulder.But Hugo's expression only turned uglier. He stared at her in disbelief. "You saved her? You should've let that ungrateful witch die! Honestly, you deserved it for being stupid!""What are you talking about?" Jennifer was flabbergasted. "I'm a doctor. Even if it was a murderer, I

Maxwell immediately turned his back to Madison and said coldly, "Get out! Didn't I tell you to leave yesterday?"However, Madison circled around him and muttered shyly, "Mrs. Lance Senior sent me. Please let me take care of you just this once, Mr. Lance. While Mrs. Lance may be good in many ways, she doesn't trust nor care for you. Look at you drinking your sorrows away. Yet she doesn't even come home to take care of you. But I would never do that. My heart is filled with love for you. I... really like you. Please, take me!"Maxwell's anger flared. He gripped Madison's shoulders and seethed through gritted teeth, "I can find a few men for you if you're that fucking desperate!"Madison stared at him in disbelief. Did Maxwell really say that? He was usually so refined and always treated Jennifer with such gentleness. She had never heard such vulgar words from his mouth before.Tears welled up in Madison's eyes, and she whimpered, "Mr. Lance, I don't mean any harm. I just want to be y

Maxwell felt awkward. "I can't do that. I don't hit women."Hugo scoffed. "Hmph, and that's why you got tricked by Rachel for five years and even helped me raise a son!""You're one to talk!" Maxwell retorted. "Weren't you also played by her? You were bedridden for five years!""You!" Hugo raised his fist, and Maxwell prepared to fight back.But just as they were about to throw punches, Hugo held back. He hadn't come here to fight today. He had more important business. So Hugo lowered his fist and sat on the couch. "I heard your mother's back. As her in-law, I figured I should meet her."Maxwell knew Hugo was up to no good. Though Camila had gone too far, she was still his mother, and he had to protect her. Maxwell muttered coldly, "My mother prefers peace and doesn't enjoy meeting strangers. I know she wronged Jennifer, and I've spoken to her about it. Once I bring Jennifer back, we'll move out."Hugo sneered. "Move out? My sister hasn't done anything wrong. Why should she be th
