Jennifer retrieved the scarf she had knitted for him from the wardrobe. "It's going to be cold tomorrow. Here, this is for you."Maxwell glanced at the thick dark gray scarf. If it had been before, he would have been happy by her initiative. But now, he couldn't help but feel that all her obedience and thoughtfulness toward him were merely to help Zion. Or perhaps, for some other purpose?Thinking about how she had talked to her friends before, he couldn't shake the feeling that she saw their relationship as just a show, just a means to an end!The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He took the scarf and casually tossed it onto the nearby couch. "I don't like wearing these."With that, he got into bed and closed his eyes, turning his back to her. Disappointment flashed in Jennifer's eyes. So, what Quincy said was true. Her poorly knitted scarf was obviously not up to his standards. Why would someone of his status appreciate it?Sighing softly, Jennifer silently cli

Jennifer suddenly perked up. "So, how did it go?""It's a bit tricky. I'm still working on it through connections." Maxwell didn't tell Jennifer the full severity of the situation.Jennifer saw hope and knew that this couldn't be resolved in just a day or two. So, she smiled with relief. "Then there's still hope, right?""Of course." Maxwell hugged her and comforted, "Don't worry about it. I've got everything under control."Jennifer hesitated and asked cautiously, "What about Rachel? Did you really send her abroad?"Maxwell stiffened. But luckily Jennifer didn't notice it due to the dark. He didn't want to lie to her, but Rachel's situation was due to Zion. How could he tell Jennifer the truth?He lied, "Yes, I've already sent her away."Jennifer didn't expect that he would fulfill his promise, and she leaned into Maxwell's warm embrace.Jennifer shifted, and her soft lips trailed down his neck. This sparked something within Maxwell.His gaze clouded but he restrained himself

Jennifer ran into Quincy at the hospital entrance."Why do you look so happy today?" Quincy asked, watching the Maybach that had just driven away. "Did your husband change his car?"Jennifer nodded with a smile.Seeing her in a good mood, Quincy asked curiously, "So, did he resolve the issues with the mistress? How did it go?"Jennifer was uncomfortable talking about this "He sent that woman abroad."Quincy pressed on, "What? What about the child?""She kept the child." Jennifer's good mood instantly vanished.Quincy felt speechless. "Jennifer, wake up. That woman is now enjoying life abroad with your husband's money. Why are you still so happy? Do you think this matter is resolved? Do you think that just because she went abroad, she won't come back with the child in the future?" Jennifer knew what Quincy was getting at. But Zion was in trouble, and Maxwell was the only one who could help her. Besides, she wasn't really prepared to break up with him. She admitted that she de

Michael led Simon into the president's office. "Mr. Lance, Mr. Moore is here.""Okay, you can leave." After dismissing Michael, Maxwell immediately asked, "How did it go? Did you find any new leads when you went to the police station today?"Simon sat opposite him and took a sip of tea. "Forget it. After all these years, this is one of the rare challenging cases I've encountered.""What do you mean?" Maxwell asked. "Even you find it difficult?"Simon pursed his lips. "I'm a lawyer, not a miracle worker! To be honest, the odds of winning this lawsuit are very slim. The evidence is conclusive, and since Rachel is still pregnant, the judge will definitely favor her."Maxwell frowned. "Did you investigate the driver who claimed to have done it under Zion's orders?""I had someone look into it, but there wasn't any dirt on the driver. He's unmarried, with only an elderly mother at home who is seriously ill. Also, the police found evidence of Zion transferring 50 thousand dollars to th

Jennifer left and took a taxi back to the Yale residence.Due to Zion's situation, Agnes had lost a lot of weight. Now, seeing Jennifer, she unleashed all her pent-up anger."Why are you here?" she shouted furiously. "Your father has been in prison for so long, and you're still living your best life with the Lance family! We should never have raised you! You ungrateful wretch!"Jennifer turned a deaf ear to Agnes's complaints. She approached her and demanded, "How exactly did my father end up in the lawsuit? Who did he hit?""You still don't know!" Agnes raged. "If it weren't for your father sticking up for you and hitting that woman named Rachel, would he be in this situation? It's all because of you, you jinx! Our family is cursed to have you!"Jennifer observed the hatred in Agnes's eyes. She couldn't understand why her own grandmother had no love for her. But Agnes's words confirmed her suspicions.Tears welled up as she choked, "Why didn't anyone tell me earlier?""Because

"He won't tell me the truth!" Jennifer was so anxious she could hardly speak, choking on her words. "But he's my father. I have the right to know what's happening. "Please, Mr. Moore, tell me, what's my father's current situation? What charges will he face? Can you take me to see him so I can ask him myself? I just can't believe my dad would hit Rachel."Simon realized that Jennifer would not let it go unless he explained everything. He sighed. "Your father's case is very tricky. The evidence is conclusive. It's not a matter of whether you believe it or not.""Can you take me to see him?" Jennifer clutched his sleeve, pleading. "I need to hear it from him to believe it.""Ms. Yale, your father is charged with assault and is currently in a detention center. Family members are not allowed to see him, only lawyers are permitted. Instead of spending time on this, you should find Rachel and persuade her to withdraw the charges. Only then can your father be released on bail."Jennifer'

This was exactly what Rachel wanted to hear. She put on a pitiful look and sobbed, "What I want is simple. I just want my baby to have a proper family and not be called a bastard. I know you won't agree to this. If you were willing, you wouldn't have conspired with Maxwell to send me abroad in the first place.""I..." Jennifer felt a pang of guilt. But Rachel had hired people to attack Zion before, forcing her to take drastic measures. After some pondering, Jennifer took a deep breath. "I understand. I can divorce Maxwell and let you marry him instead.""Thank you for your sincerity. I'll consider letting your father go," Rachel said as she stroked her belly. "But you should handle the divorce quickly. After all, my baby is growing, and the little one can't be born without a father."Jennifer felt her heart shattered. That was true. Rachel still had Maxwell's child. But what did she have?Just then, Rachel suddenly added, "Ms. Yale, Maxwell might resent me if he finds out you'r

It was past 11:00 pm when the matchmaking event finally ended. Finley stayed close to Jennifer, showing concern for her. Despite knowing that Jennifer was married to Maxwell, this did not deter his determination to pursue her. Moreover, Jennifer's presence at the event must mean something."Jennifer, I've always known that your marriage with Mr. Lance wouldn't last long," Finley smirked. "Men like him are probably cheating with countless other women. And you're a naive college student. How can you keep up with him? It's good that you've realized this now. I'm sure you'll find someone if you attend these events more."Jennifer stood at the entrance of the hotel. She had thought that Maxwell might come to pick her up. If he saw this, he would maybe start to hate her. But as the hotel entrance emptied and her classmates left, there was still no sign of Maxwell. Instead, Finley persisted, "Jennifer, why don't we..."Jennifer's gaze turned sharp as she coldly asked, "What are you imp

Jennifer shrugged. "I attended a matchmaking event."Seeing her nonchalance and lack of remorse, Maxwell's anger surged. He tightened his grip on her wrist and yelled furiously, "You are a married woman. Why did you attend a matchmaking event? Tell me why you're getting involved with Finley again!"Jennifer shook off his hand. Despite her fear, she retorted defiantly, "Can I not have friends just because I'm married? I think Finley is a nice friend. Is that illegal?"Maxwell sneered. "A friend? More like a backup plan!""So what if he is?" Jennifer lifted her chin and countered, "After all, I'm still going to leave you once your illegitimate child is born. Since that's the case, I obviously need to find someone else for myself. Or do you expect me to die alone?"Maxwell was stunned by her words and looked at her in disbelief. "What did you say? You've been planning to leave me?""Yes, since we're being honest, let me make it clear!" Jennifer steeled herself, suppressing her pain
