Semua Bab You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance: Bab 171 - Bab 180

Maxwell didn't have much of a reaction as he stared down at the idiot who coveted his wife. A dark glint flashed in his eyes and he sneered. "You bought this bracelet from Mrs. Lowe, right? It must have cost at least a million dollars. I doubt Dad and your mom would give you that much. So, tell me, where did you get the money from?""I..." Jordan panicked and made up an excuse, "I borrowed it."Maxwell nodded. "You'd better not be lying. I've already ordered the finance department to freeze the company accounts. I will investigate the accounts soon.""Maxwell..." Jordan's heart dropped and he lowered his tone. "I'll pay it back. Don't make things hard for me, we're brothers after all."Jordan was basically admitting to embezzling company funds.Maxwell wasn't surprised and scoffed at him. "You're something else! Using company funds to buy gifts for women! Do you think Jennifer would accept you if she found out? This gift is stolen goods. Would she dare wear it?""Don't tell Jen

"Open the door!" Maxwell ordered domineeringly. Jocelyn realized the position she was in and had no choice but to let the maid open the door. She didn't forget to make an excuse. "I told her to go back, but she wouldn't listen. She was the one who decided to stand in the rain." Jocelyn kept blabbering, but Maxwell silenced her with a glare. He simply held Jennifer tightly and entered the Yale residence.Once inside, Maxwell dropped the umbrella and carried Jennifer to her room. Inside the bedroom, Jennifer was eager to see her father, but Maxwell stopped her. "Be a good girl and take a shower first." His tone was gentle, but his actions were forceful. He dragged her to the bathroom and prepared the bath for her. Jennifer wasn't very cooperative, so Maxwell gave her a stern look. "If you keep this up, I'll personally bathe you." The threat worked and Jennifer whispered, "Go out. I'll wash myself." "Okay, take your time," Maxwell reassured her, "Don't worry. I'm here for y

Zion slapped Jocelyn. "Bitch! Look at what you did to our daughter! The evidence is right here, yet you still won't admit it!"Bridget heard the commotion and hurried down to stop Zion.The living room was in chaos with Zion and Jocelyn's constant arguing.Jennifer stared at the two but didn't feel satisfied. She only felt a sense of sadness. Zion didn't trust her until he saw the evidence. As for Jocelyn and Bridget, they were simply reaping what they had sown! Jennifer felt bad that Zion was lied to at his age.Maxwell's cold voice rang out, "Also, you have three days to pay back the compensation from the Lance family. Otherwise, I'll sue you. After all, no one in Haven City dares to mess with us!"The situation escalated. Bridget had already lost her child, and now her money was about to be taken away.She suddenly laughed out loud. If she was going down, she would drag Jennifer down with her!She said to Maxwell, "Do you think Jennifer is devoted to you? Besides seducing

Before the nurse could administer the IV, Jennifer got out of bed and went out to have a look. Although she guessed Maxwell had probably left, she was a lovesick fool who didn't want to give up hope until she saw the bitter truth with her own eyes. Only then would she find peace.Jennifer walked out of the ward, looking around the corridor. As expected, there was no sign of Maxwell. Jennifer lowered her gaze, her eyelashes shielding the sadness in her eyes.Martha seemed to read her thought and hurriedly comforted her, "Don't overthink it, Mrs. Lance. Mr. Lance cares about you. He wouldn't be this nervous otherwise. Since your hospitalization, he has been working tirelessly. He would even ask about your condition during work.""That's enough, Martha." Jennifer tilted her head to the ceiling, wanting to hold back her tears. If Martha continued, she would feel reluctant to let go again.Just then, Rachel's voice rang. "Ms. Yale, do you think you can delay the divorce if you keep

"Enough!" Maxwell interrupted her, his eyes filled with anger. He said through gritted teeth, "How long do you plan to keep up the act?"Rachel's legs almost gave out, and she stumbled slightly. "You... What do you mean? Didn't we visit Dr. Shawn together? He also said I have severe depression and can't be put into stressful situations."Maxwell sneered sarcastically. "That's because you've put on a good act. You almost fooled Dr. Shawn too! But Rachel, you may deceive us. But you can't lie to machines."Rachel turned pale, and she started trembling.With a dark expression, Maxwell stomped toward her and gripped her chin. He growled coldly, "Do I need to show you the results of the ECG test for you to admit it?"Realization struck Rachel. So, Dr. Shawn had her undergo an ECG test not because of treatment, but as a final test.That damned bastard had lied to her, saying it was for treatment, and she had believed him.She was doomed! Without Maxwell's trust and love, she had nothi
