Semua Bab You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance: Bab 771 - Bab 780

Laura glanced at Simon and reverted to her docile demeanor. "Why are you here?"Simon snorted. "Were you planning to ruin the wedding and tear down the Lance family if I didn't come?""I…" Laura huffed. "Jennifer is my best friend. How could I stand by and watch her suffer? Stay out of my way if you're not going to help."Simon slammed on the brakes, pulling the car over to the side of the road. Laura was startled and stared at him in panic.Simon grabbed her chin and sneered. "You've grown bolder since I last was with you."Laura immediately realized she had crossed the line. She couldn't afford to provoke Simon. She quickly softened her tone. "Don't worry. I'll take full responsibility for my actions. I won't involve you if Maxwell comes after me. It was all my doing."Simon didn't reply and stared at her quietly. Laura always made him both furious and helpless. But she would occasionally fight back at the same time, leaving him itching for more.Without another word, Simon dr

Caleb gave it a thought. "It was a bit strange before. I used to think you didn't want Mommy and us. But it seems you were deceived by that bad woman. You still love us."Maxwell's guilt grew hearing Caleb's words. If Laura hadn't brought the children to the wedding, he never would have known he had such a sensible son.Maxwell's eyes watered and he hugged Caleb tightly. "I'm sorry for what I've put you and your mom through."Caleb hummed. "Can you promise me to win Mommy back? I want us to live together as a family and never be separated again. Mommy seems stubborn but she is easily touched."Maxwell nodded and promised, "I promise I will win your mom back. We will never be separated again, okay?"…Jennifer and Nathan immediately contacted a lawyer once they got back. Nathan sighed. "The best lawyer around is Simon Moore. But he is a good friend of Maxwell, so we can't hire him. We'll have to find someone else!"Jennifer, knowing that Simon was Laura's boyfriend, agreed. "Yes,

Hailey looked at Laura with disdain. "What do you know? As doctors, we are expected to be dedicated, and working overtime is a regular occurrence. I've never heard of anyone asking for overtime pay.""Haha!" Laura narrowed her eyes and retorted, "What do you mean it's expected? That's peer pressure! What's so special about being a doctor? Do doctors not need to eat or support their families? Should they stay in the hospital 24 hours a day to be considered true doctors? I can't stand people like you, talking about dedication when others just want to get paid. If you're that devoted, keep up the work yourself! Let's go, Jennifer, don't waste time with her."After all, this wasn't the first time Laura had seen Jennifer working late. Laura used to think being a doctor was a sacred profession and that being busy was understandable. But when she saw Jennifer's superior treating overtime as a given, Laura had had enough.She grabbed Jennifer's hand, ready to leave.Hailey called after the

Simon frowned at Fiona's words. He glanced at Laura, then walked out onto the balcony. "I'm about to go to bed. Mom, what's going on? Why is she at the house so late?"Fiona huffed. "Hailey is your fiancée. She's in trouble now. Someone's threatening to sue her! I think... one of the doctors under her isn't happy with how she's managing them and is suing her for forcing them to work overtime. I can't explain all the details, but you need to come home. You two are supposed to get married. How can you ignore her when she's facing such a big issue?"Simon's frown deepened. He couldn't believe Hailey would go to his house and disturb his mother this late over such a small issue. The more she acted like this, the less he wanted to deal with her.Simon said coldly, "I'm about to sleep and won't be going home tonight. Tell her to come to my office tomorrow if it's such a big deal."With that, Simon hung up.Fiona stared at her darkened phone screen, her dislike for Laura growing. She had

Laura had no choice but to comply. She straddled his lap and faced his handsome yet stern face. His lips met hers, and Laura didn't fight back.However, she was fed up with living like this. She couldn't even help her friend in times of trouble. She felt like Simon was sent by the heavens to torment her because they couldn't stand seeing her or those around her happy.…That night, Jennifer also didn't get a wink of sleep.She cradled Cassidy in her arms, but her thoughts were on Caleb, wondering if he was adjusting to life at the Lance Manor. Since Maxwell was his biological father and had already seen through Rachel's true colors, Caleb should be safe.Still, Jennifer couldn't help but worry. She missed her son so much. After tossing and turning for what felt like an eternity, she finally fell asleep.The next morning, Jennifer received a message from Laura. Laura sent a crying emoji and wrote: "It's over! I messed up! I couldn't help you get justice because a certain idiot rui
