Semua Bab You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance: Bab 71 - Bab 80

Maxwell was dressed in a dark-colored suit. He walked into the room, exuding a fearful aura. Jennifer never expected him to come here to the Yale residence, especially during such a helpless moment for her too.Quentin clearly hadn't understood what was going on. He yelled at Jennifer. "You can either go back home with me tonight or get on your knees and apologize! I've already decided to take you for myself, so you'd better not ruin this further for yourself!""How bold." Maxwell walked toward Quentin, his eyes cold and sharp. He was a head taller than Quentin, making him seem all the more domineering.Agnes kept on shooting Jocelyn looks, too frightened to say a word.Jocelyn knew things were really serious now, so she quickly said, "It's all a misunderstanding! I'll just tell you the truth now since you're here, Mr. Maxwell. Jennifer told us there were some issues in your marriage, so she sought our help to find a better man in order to divorce you. Her grandmother cares deeply

Jennifer felt incredibly upset afterward and continued walking aimlessly forward.Maxwell's heart ached at the sight. He went and enveloped her in his arms without a second thought. He caressed her hair and kept her head tucked against his chest, murmuring, "I… I wasn't wholly putting up an act earlier."Jennifer's shoulders were quaking slightly in his grasp.Every word Maxwell said echoed in her heart, making her tremble uncontrollably. Jennifer looked up, gazing at him through tearful eyes. "I nearly thought what you said at the Yale residence earlier was all true. But we still have to be realistic, don't we?"Maxwell looked at her, feeling upset as she cried. He gently wiped her tears away and said, "Even if we're not together anymore in the future, I still wouldn't be able to bear to see anyone hurting you. No one can force you to do anything you don't want to do, not even the Yale family themselves."Jennifer only felt more upset the more Maxwell spoke.He said they would

Even if Maxwell knew the truth, there was no possible way that their marriage could continue anymore.So, Jennifer shook her head. "I've already forgotten what he looked like. But ever since that happened, I grew out of my low self-esteem and learned to accept my parents' divorce. Everyone makes mistakes. Even though my father made a mistake, he still took great care of me and made sure I never suffered. He would never sit by and let my stepmother and sister push me around."My Dad would take care of me throughout the night if I was sick. When I missed Mom, he'd bring me to the hospital to see her in person. That was why I chose to forgive him in the end. Now that my mother has passed, my father is the only person whom I'm related to by blood."Maxwell's eyes seemed hazy as he said in a bittersweet way, "You're far more blessed than I was, then."Jennifer had vaguely heard about how Maxwell's mother had been forced to leave their family by his father and stepmother. Maxwell's mothe

Zion knew his daughter had a temper. But though she'd been pampered since young, she wasn't someone who would start trouble for no reason.So, Zion gazed suspiciously at his wife and asked, "Are you sure you two just got into an argument? Could it also be that Quentin's company went bankrupt because of his poor management instead of Maxwell being the one who caused it?"As far as Zion knew, Jennifer and Maxwell's marriage was not stable even though it was official. Would he have actually come to Jennifer's defense?Jocelyn nodded certainly. "I'm very sure! If you don't believe us, you can go see how bad a state Quentin is in at the hospital yourself!"Agnes took the opportunity to mention Quentin's demands. "Zion, regardless of everything, Jennifer remains in the wrong in this situation. How could we let the matter cease now that Quentin's ended up with broken legs and a bankrupt company?"Zion sighed and said, "If Jennifer really is responsible for this matter, then we should rig

Zion was in disbelief. What Maxwell told her was very different than what his mother and Jocelyn had told him.Maxwell said with a smile, "You don't need to be so surprised. I'm sure you know very well what kind of people your mother and wife are and how much they've been mistreating Jennifer all this while. You can go ask Quentin Harold about the matter and the truth will naturally reveal itself."Zion did indeed know what was going on at this point.After a long period of silence, Zion gazed deeply at Maxwell before saying, "Jennifer did go through a lot of pain here in my family, Mr. Maxwell. As her father, I'm responsible for this as well. But can you promise me you'll take care of Jennifer? I can tell she likes you very, very much. She's suffered a lot and lost her mother when she was young. "Maxwell looked away, unsure whether Jennifer truly did like him as much as Zion said she did.But Maxwell himself already had a woman he needed to care for. He had taken Rachel's virgin
