Semua Bab You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance: Bab 181 - Bab 190

After a pause, Maxwell sighed. "Jennifer, I'll give you some time to think about it. If you really don't want to salvage our marriage, I'll respect your choice."Jennifer didn't expect Maxwell to leave the decision in her hands. She dared not meet his eyes and asked, "Would you agree to get the divorce?"Maxwell paused. "If that's what you want, I will."Jennifer couldn't bring herself to ask for a divorce right away. Maxwell's words had sparked hope inside her again. But thinking about how she had been ignored, humiliated, and doubted, she didn't want to accept him unconditionally.After some thought, Jennifer asked weakly, "Before I make up my mind, could you... not visit me? I'll tell you the answer when I've thought it through."Maxwell's face fell. "Are you chasing me out?"Jennifer rubbed her hands. "I can't focus on my thoughts with you here.""But I'm worried about you" Maxwell touched her forehead. "You still have a fever."Jennifer was not used to his concern. "It's

Maxwell sucked in a deep breath. "Rachel, let me be clear. Although I've been married to Jennifer for two years, I never viewed you as a mistress. I've always believed that my marriage with her was a last resort, and I wouldn't touch you until our marriage. I thought that was the least I could do for you.""But you still did it, didn't you?" Rachel cried. "You said you would marry me. But you've changed your mind, haven't you? You've long fallen in love with Jennifer, and you don't want to divorce her!"Maxwell's expression shifted, and he neither admitted nor denied it.Rachel smiled bitterly. "If I hadn't pretended to have depression, you probably would have left me long ago. Maxwell, you were the one who betrayed me!""Sorry, I can only compensate you in other ways." His gaze sharpened as he warned. "I hope you won't come to disturb Jennifer again. Otherwise, we won't even be able to be friends again."Rachel's heart sank as she stared at the man she had loved for many years. H

The thought of how helpless Jennifer felt when the stranger touched her made Maxwell see red. It wasn't until Jennifer's crying stopped that he spoke. "Get some rest. I'll be back in a moment." With that, he strode out. He went to a stairway to smoke, his expression hidden in the shadows. He called Michael. "Bring Bridget and Jocelyn to Nimbus Lounge. Also, if Daniel Zito is in Haven City, bring him too. If he's not, get him here as soon as possible!"Sensing the gloom in Maxwell's voice, Michael asked nervously, "Mr. Lance, what... What are you planning to do? Do we have some grudge with Daniel? And what do you mean by bringing them?"Maxwell's patience was wearing thin. "If you can't even handle this, you can kiss your job goodbye." Michael felt speechless. He didn't understand why Maxwell demanded those people to be brought to him. It seemed a storm was brewing.…In a wooden house by the seaside, Maxwell sat in a chair surrounded by smoke. Today, he learned the truth

Rachel nodded with satisfaction. "Well done, I'll reward you greatly. Also, I'll take care of your daughter's dance education abroad. I know a dance professor.""Thank you, Ms. Walker!" The manager thanked her. "I will do anything you want in the future."Rachel continued, "Keep an eye on the club. Make sure to inform me if Maxwell does anything."The manager immediately nodded. "Ms. Walker, our boss said he would like to invite you over once everything is done."Disgust flashed in Rachel's eyes. "Tell him I don't have time. I'll leave now."The manager persuaded her. "Maybe you should give it a thought. Everything in Nimbus Lounge has to go through the boss. He helped you with this. If you don't accept the invite and anger him, I'm afraid..."Rachel took a deep breath and reluctantly followed the manager in.…Back at the hospital, Martha held a tray and asked, "What's wrong, Mrs. Lance? Didn't Mr. Lance already break things off with that woman? Why aren't you eating?""I hav

"So, you asked them to come." Jennifer thought about the mistreatment, imprisonment, and her severed relationship with Zion. She still felt bitter over it.Maxwell knew she was still upset. "They wanted to come on their own. Your father came to the Lance Group yesterday and said he regretted it. So I told them to come. I think you will feel better if they apologize in person."Touched, Jennifer leaned against him. "Maxwell, thank you."He knew her too well. And only he knew how to help her.Maxwell smiled and pinched her cheek. "As long as you're happy. Let's go, your dad has probably been waiting for a long time."Jennifer followed Maxwell out of the car, their hands intertwining naturally.Zion saw them and quickly walked over with Agnes."Jennifer..." Zion looked remorseful. "It's my fault that you suffered."After a few days of peace, Jennifer had already let go of the past. She smiled. "Dad, let's talk inside."Agnes lowered her head and followed behind Zion, not daring t
