Chapter 691

"Mr. Lance, I should go now," said Jennifer. She held Maxwell at arm's length, just close enough to keep him yearning for more.But the push and pull was too much for Maxwell. In a sudden move, he leaned in, cupped her head, and brought her closer. He savored the unique sweetness of her, but out of his sight, Jennifer frowned in dismay.To Maxwell, this seemed to be the only way to show how much he missed her and how badly he wanted her back.However, Jennifer's detachment and avoidance were real. She didn't return his kiss, merely enduring it.After what seemed like an eternity, Maxwell finally let her go, and they were both left breathless. Though Jennifer kept reminding herself this was just a way to get back at him and that she was only tolerating it, her heart still raced uncontrollably. She couldn't even bring herself to meet his gaze.Maxwell reached out, his fingers gently brushing through her hair. "Jennifer, do you still love me?" he asked in a hoarse voice. Jennifer

Having said that, Jennifer hurriedly got into her car without waiting for Maxwell's response. Once inside, she could still feel her heart racing. That was a close call! Did her expression give anything away? She hoped Maxwell hadn't noticed.Because of that incident, Jennifer ended up being late to work that morning. She even missed the introduction of a new colleague during the morning meeting. She had planned to introduce herself later. But to Jennifer's surprise, the young, attractive doctor who seemed about her age, approached her. "Hello, Dr. Susan. I'm Dr. Hailey Brooks," Hailey said confidently as she extended her hand. "I joined the cardiac surgery department because of you, but I'm confident I'll outshine you in the future."Jennifer was momentarily stunned. Who would introduce themselves like that? Wasn't this a blatant provocation? Despite the audacity, Jennifer responded with grace. She shook Hailey's hand and replied, "I've read your articles in several prestigio

Jennifer offered a gentle smile and reassured Jasper, "It's okay. There's always someone better, but you did really well on your first day!""Yes, and Dad brought gifts for all the kids, so everyone likes me," Jasper answered, clearly happier than ever.Seeing him get along so well with Jennifer, Maxwell felt immensely satisfied.Right then, Jasper suddenly asked, "Dad, can we go to the amusement park this weekend? It would be great if Dr. Susan could join us too!"Maxwell wasn't about to let this precious opportunity slip by. He patted Jasper's head and said, "But you'll need to check with Dr. Susan to see if she can join us. If she can't make it, then we won't go."Initially, Jennifer wanted to decline. After all, she finally found some downtime and wanted to bring Cassidy and Caleb out.Yet, Jasper held her hand and pleaded, "Dr. Susan, could we go together? Dad doesn't usually let me go to the amusement park. He says it's too dirty, and I haven't been there in such a long tim

Chapter 694

Rachel was taken aback and immediately said, "What? I can't believe this, Jasper! Are you seriously going to the amusement park with that woman? Have you forgotten everything I told you?""Mom, Dr. Susan isn't a bad person. She hasn't hurt me," Jasper countered softly."So, you want her to be your stepmother, huh?" Rachel snapped, her frustration boiling over. "Don't you want your dad and me to get back together? After everything I've sacrificed for you, you're turning your back on me already? It's only been a few days since I left!"Jasper let out a deep sigh. "But you and Dad always taught me to keep my promises. I'm not turning my back on you. It's just that I've already agreed to go to the amusement park with Dad and Dr. Susan, and I can't go back on my word."Rachel was livid and ended the call abruptly. She couldn't believe that Jennifer had managed to win over Jasper so quickly.This bitch was clearly trying to manipulate Jasper for her own gain. Was Jennifer planning to us

Right then, Jennifer received a call from the private investigator's office. She had assumed it was news about the case she had entrusted to them. But to her surprise, she was informed that the surveillance system at Nimbus Lounge was highly secured and impenetrable from the outside unless access was granted internally.After hanging up, Jennifer felt utterly lost. She had a strong feeling that Rachel was involved in the past events, and she had to find the evidence.If Rachel were truly responsible for the assault, Jennifer would make sure she paid dearly for it.…Meanwhile, Nathan had brought Cassidy and Caleb over to Jennifer's place. Cassidy, brimming with excitement, told her mother that Nathan and Frida had taken them to the movies. "Mommy, look at all these new dresses Grandma Frida got me!" Cassidy exclaimed, flaunting her new outfits.She asserted, "You can't get mad at me, okay? I didn't ask for them. Grandma Frida bought them because she thought I looked adorable

Chapter 696

A chilling smile lingered on Jennifer's lips as she said, "I'll make sure he has no chance to strike back."Suddenly, the thought of the Nimbus Lounge incident came back to her. Despite spending a fortune on a private investigator, they hadn't been able to access the old surveillance footage, leaving her with no results.Now, Jennifer had no choice but to ask Nathan for help. "Dr. Lowe, do you know any skilled hackers?""A hacker? What do you need a hacker for?" Nathan asked in confusion.Jennifer didn't want to disclose the disgraceful incident from years ago. Even though she had lost her memory, it still cast a shadow over her life."I can't explain right now, but if you know any skilled hackers, could you introduce them to me? This could be really helpful. It might even be the ace I need to take down Rachel," she replied seriously."Sure, I can help with that." Nathan reached out and gently patted her head. "If you don't want to share the details, that's fine. But remember, le

Rachel froze, confusion written all over her face. "You think this is all there is? I'm convinced Jennifer has regained her memories! Why else would she leave Nathan and come between us?"Maxwell's face was devoid of any emotion, marked only by indifference. Stunned by his composure, Rachel asked in disbelief, "You knew all along, didn't you? Then why are you still so stubborn? Jennifer has changed! She doesn't genuinely care about you anymore. Can't you see that? If you don't believe me, go ahead and ask Laura!""That won't be necessary," Maxwell replied coldly. "Even if she met up with her old friend, it doesn't mean she remembered anything. For all we know, Laura might have just bumped into Jennifer by chance, like we did."And even if she does remember, I owe her that much. If she hates me, so be it."Rachel couldn't believe it. A man as proud as Maxwell was willing to humble himself to such a degree for Jennifer. Although the truth was right before him, he still chose to dec

Chapter 698

Laura's frantic attempts to keep her composure were futile as Maxwell saw right through her.So, she tried to hold her ground, her voice steady despite the turmoil inside. "Yes, we've met. What's the issue? She's my best friend. Why shouldn't we see each other? And how did you find out? Did Jennifer tell you, or did you have someone following her?"Maxwell didn't answer her questions. Instead, he coldly countered, "So, you did meet her? Has she recalled the past, or did you fill her in?"He had set a clever trap. No matter how Laura answered, it would reveal that Jennifer knew about past events.But Laura wasn't easily fooled. After years of being a reporter, she was skilled at navigating tricky conversations. Despite Maxwell's intimidating presence, she collected herself and replied, "Yes, I did meet Jennifer, but it was at the hospital. She didn't know who I was, though I recognized her immediately."That's when I realized she had lost her memory. I had no intention of bringin

Chapter 699

Maxwell's tone remained gentle, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.There was no way out for Jennifer. With the game underway, she had no choice but to move forward and confront it head-on.She accepted Maxwell's invitation. As she made her way to the venue, she couldn't stop thinking about her strategy.…At the same time, Hailey had her own plans for a date with Simon at the Regency Manor. Having mastered the piano from a young age, she was determined to showcase her skills today. Her goal was to show him that she was not only successful in her career but also highly skilled in many other areas.However, the manager of the Regency Manor apologized, "I'm sorry, Ms. Brooks, but we're closed to the public. The hotel has been booked for a private event today.""Booked?" Hailey was somewhat surprised. A place of this caliber wasn't something that could be reserved with money alone.Although the Brooks family had been in business for many years and had a solid financial foun

The sea of flowers seemed to fade into the background, making it feel like only Jennifer and Maxwell existed.Back in their room, a meticulously prepared dinner awaited them. However, Jennifer had lost her appetite and only managed to take a few bites.Suddenly, Maxwell reached out to stroke her cheek, asking gently, "Aren't you happy?""I'm happy," Jennifer answered with a smile. "It's just that it's my first time being proposed to, and I'm feeling a bit disoriented."Maxwell gazed intently at her and said, "If something's bothering you, please tell me, okay?"Jennifer found herself wondering about his intentions or if he was hinting at something. Was he aware of her plans, or was there a larger scheme at play?She opted for a direct approach. "Did you go see Laura today? If you have questions, just ask me directly. Don't make my friend uncomfortable."Maxwell was unfazed. With Laura's personality, she would definitely have informed Jennifer about his visit.A faint smile touc
