Semua Bab You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance: Bab 161 - Bab 170

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, "

Suddenly, Jennifer felt powerless. She realized how vast the world was, yet, there was nowhere for her to escape and no path to take.Harry hesitated before saying, "I'm afraid that if you spend another day at my place, it'll be the end of my family.""I know what to do, Mr. Scott. I'll go home tonight. Sorry for troubling you for the past few days," Jennifer responded, her voice choking with emotion while tears welled up in her eyes. Harry reminded her, "Also… Please speak well of me in front of Mr. Lance. As you know, his words can determine the life or death of our family. I don't have a choice, either."Jennifer merely hummed in acknowledgment, waves of sorrow and anguish washing over her. She had not expected Maxwell to resort to such tactics to force her to return. What made it worse was that he had made her go back and beg him willingly. On the way back to the villa, Jennifer chuckled self-deprecatingly. She even felt like she was nothing but an ant to Maxwell. She

"Jennifer Yale, do you not like this or do you not like it when it's with me?" Maxwell asked.His tone was sharp, his intent gaze fixed on her as he pressed, "Did you enjoy it when the man you cheated with touched you?""You're despicable!" Jennifer yelled. She was so frustrated that she cried. "Since you think I'm dirty and find me repulsive, why don't we just get a divorce? Why do you want to humiliate and torture me?" Maxwell felt his chest tighten as he thought about Jennifer wanting a divorce and her affair. He sensed that he was on the verge of losing his rationality.Suddenly, he cupped her cheeks and planted a passionate kiss on her lips, fierce and unrelenting like a storm. On the other hand, Jennifer felt pain and numbness in her lips. She could feel it whenever Maxwell was gentle.However, right then, he was venting his frustrations on her. It was not until Maxwell tasted the salty tears that he slowly released her. Looking into Jennifer's defiant and resentful

Jennifer could not help but think she had been overly hopeful. She had naively believed the necklace was a birthday surprise Maxwell had prepared for her.She simply walked past Rachel, unwilling to engage in conversation with her. There was nothing to be said, either.However, Rachel stopped her, saying, "Ms. Yale, this might be our last meeting. Max specifically sent me to find you. You wouldn't deny him this, would you?"The second Jennifer heard Maxwell's name, she instinctively halted, her heart skipping a beat.She looked at Rachel and uttered, "What do you want to say? Spit it out.""Ms. Yale, you look worn out." Rachel chuckled. She did not even bother to conceal her mockery. "There's a cafe across the street. Let's talk there, shall we?""What tricks do you have up your sleeves now? If you have something to say, say it here. I don't have time to go anywhere," Jennifer replied coldly.Rachel's lips curled into a smirk. "It looks like you're wary of me. Take a look at t

After placing Jennifer in the car, Maxwell immediately stepped on the accelerator, and the car launched forward like a shot arrow.He looked at the fragile woman beside him, who appeared like a porcelain doll that could shatter at any moment. Maxwell's heart clenched with anguish at the sight.With one hand on the steering wheel, he extended the other to hold her icy cold hand."We'll be at the hospital soon. You'll be fine, I promise…" Maxwell repeated, unsure if he was reassuring her or himself.Finally, they arrived at the hospital. Maxwell carried Jennifer into the emergency room.The doctor's diagnosis revealed a case of high fever and pneumonia. Jennifer required hospitalization.…After Maxwell completed the admission procedures and waited for the doctor to arrange a ward, half an hour had passed.Sitting by Jennifer's bedside, he gazed at the pale woman, feeling both sorry for her and angry.Why did she torment herself like that?Jennifer woke up after receiving a
