Semua Bab You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance: Bab 821 - Bab 830

Shaun hesitated before speaking. "Um… Do you think Ms. Yale will actually come with us? She doesn't seem all that fond of us.""Not fond?" Hugo scoffed. "Then just bring her here! If she refuses to listen, we'll have to take a more aggressive approach. I can't believe she's really trying to deny her roots."Shaun figured that a calm approach wouldn't work with Jennifer. After all, she had made it clear she wanted nothing to do with such a complicated family.So, to save time, he decided to jump straight to plan B.…As Jennifer was dragged in, her body stuffed into a sack, Hugo roared, "Shaun Rocks, have you lost your mind? You actually kidnapped her?"It dawned on Shaun that Hugo's outburst was fueled by frustration. At the end of the day, this was his biological sister.Hugo quickly crouched to untie the sack. Jennifer glared at him, signaling for him to remove the cloth that was muffling her."Fine, I'll untie you, but you'd better behave!" he warned. With that, he finally

Hugo could hardly believe it; every other word out of Jennifer's mouth seemed to revolve around Maxwell. He reluctantly pulled out his phone, but Jennnifer quickly snatched it from his hands.Without a second thought, she dialed Maxwell's number. The moment the call connected, his anxious voice cut through the air. "Jennifer, where have you been? Why was your phone off? I was about to call the police!""Maxwell, calm down, okay? Just listen for a second." Jennifer then explained her visit to the Shaw residence near the border region. But to avoid stirring up more conflict between him and Hugo, she purposefully left out the part where she had been kidnapped.Despite her reassurances, Maxwell's anger flared. "Are you sure they didn't give you a hard time or hurt you? Are you safe? Send me your location. I'm coming to get you right now!"Hearing the urgency in his voice, a warmth spread through Jennifer. She replied calmly, "Don't worry. I'm fine, really. He's my biological brother,

"You were still just a kid back then, and our father left you in her care. Then, one day, enemies came seeking revenge, and a shootout broke out. By the time our father returned from the battle, that woman claimed you had been taken by our enemies."As soon as Hugo finished speaking, Jennifer stared at him in shock. "Are you saying the Yales are your enemies and they took me away?" she asked, incredulous."No!" Hugo stressed each word carefully as he continued, "At first, I believed her story too. But one day, I snuck into her room while playing hide-and-seek with the housekeepers. "That's when I overheard her on the phone, telling someone to sell you off. On top of that, I was her next target. Furious, I shot out from under the bed. She never expected to find me there, and I saw the panic in her eyes. She was afraid I'd tell our father."Jennifer listened, her heart racing. With a trembling voice, she asked, "W-What happened next?""What happened next?" Hugo smiled self-deprecat

At the mention of Rachel, Jennifer's expression hardened. After all, her brother had been involved with a woman like that, and they even had a child together. No matter how she thought about it, the whole situation made her uneasy.Still, the thought of Jasper softened her face with concern. "By the way, are you really not going to take responsibility for your son? He has a congenital heart condition and needs ongoing treatment. If you leave him to fend for himself, he could be in real danger."A shadow of something unspoken flickered across Hugo's face before his expression hardened into a grim resolve."A child raised by a woman like her? Who knows what he'll turn into? He could end up just as cruel as she was. Why would I invite that kind of trouble into my life? Bringing him in would only make things worse," he said firmly.Jennifer sighed and replied softly, "But Jasper's nothing like Rachel. He's a sweet boy, who's kind and innocent. You should at least go see him. He's your

Initially, Maxwell felt guilty for misunderstanding Hugo. But after hearing him yell at Jennifer just moments earlier, he couldn't shake the impression that Hugo was nothing short of a barbarian.It was clear that Jennifer hadn't been the one to bring Samson Holt in, so why did Hugo have to direct his anger at her?Jennifer knew Hugo's temper all too well and just wanted to defuse the situation. She turned to Maxwell, saying, "You need to send him back to Nimbus Lounge right away. I'll explain everything later. I promise, my brother isn't a bad person, and he hasn't hurt me."Maxwell hesitated for a moment, but he didn't want to make things harder for her. He shot Michael a glance, signaling him to take Samson back to Nimbus Lounge.Only then did Jennifer heave a sigh of relief. She glared at Maxwell and warned, "From now on, you're not allowed to go against my brother."Maxwell stared at her in surprise. He hadn't expected Jennifer—who just days ago had refused to even acknowledg
