You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance Chapter 155
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. Harry could not believe it.After all, with their social standing, the Scotts would never catch the Lance family's attention.If anything, they should be the

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

This marked Laura's fourth encounter with Simon. The first time, she had begged him to help with Jennifer's lawsuit against Rachel's relatives. However, Simon had asked for Laura to be his lover in return. Thus, she promptly refused.The second time was at Jennifer's house. Unfortunately, Laura's towel slipped in Simon's presence, exposing her to his lecherous stare. Their third encounter was at the ball, and they were paired together by chance. His slender hand traced her waist, openly expressing his desires.The more Laura thought about it, the more she felt like she was transparent. It was as if Simon could see right through her with just one glance. "Ms. Scott, I haven't spoken yet. Why are you blushing already?"The corners of Simon's mouth curled into a smirk. He then rose and strode over to her.There was no hint of tobacco on him. There was only the fresh scent of mint. Simon leaned in, and his lips almost touched her flushed earlobe. In a flirty tone, he asked, "

It seemed that the person who investigated Laura had not brought this up to Simon. Laura raised her chin proudly and answered, "Yes, my fiancé will be asking for my hand in marriage at the end of the year."Simon had always been adept at concealing his emotions. "Congratulations," he responded with an enigmatic smile. Then, he sat back in his chair. "You can go now. Leave the information about your friend's case. I'll review it and get back to you."Laura was somewhat taken aback. Was that it? She had expected him to put up a fight. She could not believe that not only did he not give her a hard time, but he also agreed to take on Jennifer's case. "Thank you. When should I transfer the lawyer's fee to you?" she asked with gratitude. "No rush," Simon replied lightly, causing Laura's heart to skip a beat again. After all, his willingness to help without accepting payment meant that she owed him a significant favor.Laura preferred if Simon took the lawyer's fees. That way
