Semua Bab You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance: Bab 151 - Bab 160

Yet, with all eyes on her and the criticism circulating, Jennifer could not help but feel somewhat embarrassed.Fortunately, Laura rushed over just in time, chiding, "What a bunch of busybodies! What does it matter to you whether it's genuine or an imitation? Are any of you paying for it?"Right then, Bridget walked over, putting on airs as she deliberately raised her voice. "Show some respect for my sister! After all, there's only one Heart of Rouge bracelet in the world, and I've got it on my wrist. Since Jennifer liked it, she had no choice but to buy a knock-off."With that said, Bridget raised her wrist and savored the admiration of the onlookers.Jennifer, on the other hand, did not want to waste her energy on someone like Bridget. All the former wanted was to leave as soon as possible.But Laura was different. She had a fighter's spirit and was always ready to engage in conflict.So, she scoffed and uttered, "Have you heard of the saying 'clothes don't make the man'? Eve

Jennifer froze. It took her quite a while to steady her heartbeat.With a cold smirk playing on his lips, the man gripped her chin with one hand and said, "Impressive. Making a scene at the ball because of jealousy, huh? Did you and your sister happily sign up to be treated like playthings?"Jennifer understood his insult. She forcefully pushed his hand away and retorted, "Mind your words! Maxwell Lance, even if I'm being toyed with, what does it have to do with you?""Is that so? Let me show you just how much it has to do with me, then!"In an instant, a glint of menace flashed across Maxwell's eyes as he suddenly pulled her closer.With a swift turn, he pressed Jennifer firmly against the cold door."Maxwell, you!"Jennifer refused to believe he would act recklessly. After all, people would pass by outside at any moment.It was not until she saw the flicker of desire in Maxwell's icy gaze that she realized she was wrong.There was nothing he would not dare or could not do.

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

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

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
