Semua Bab You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance: Bab 951 - Bab 960

But this was a foolish and hypothetical question. So, Jennifer stopped herself from going any further.Yet Maxwell seemed to know her unspoken worry. "I would choose you."Jennifer's heart skipped a beat and she smiled. She took out the sweets she had bought for Cassidy. "By the way, how come Cass is so quiet today? She'll usually be playing in the yard when I return from work."Maxwell chuckled. "She's probably sulking from the talk you gave her yesterday. She's likely up in her room trying to prove herself."Jennifer pursed her lips. "I'd be thrilled if that's true!"With that, they took the sweets up to Cassidy's room."Where is she?" Maxwell glanced around the room in confusion.Jennifer noticed the bathroom door was closed. She knocked. "Cass, are you in there?"They heard the girl's cries inside. "Mommy, my tummy hurts. I've got a stomachache!"Jennifer frowned. "What happened? Why do you have a stomachache?"Maxwell tugged on her sleeve and whispered, "Look under there

Cassidy thought Jennifer would never be this harsh with Caleb or the unborn baby if they were in her place. The thought left Cassidy in despair, and tears started streaming down her cheeks.Jennifer felt a wave of helplessness and exhaustion wash over her. She signed and handed her daughter to Maxwell before going to the hallway to clear her head.Cassidy asked sadly, "Daddy, does Mommy not want me anymore? Do you… Do you both not like me?"Maxwell was taken aback and quickly lectured her. "Silly girl, how could you think that? Would Mommy go out of her way to buy your favorite treats if she didn't love you? We're only upset because you ate so much ice cream and got sick. We feel bad for you. You're our precious princess. We will never stop loving you."Cassidy asked weakly, "But will I still be the favorite if you have another daughter?"Maxwell only took it as a child's silly question and chuckled. "How do you come up with so many strange questions every day?"However, Cassidy

Maxwell asked coldly, "Who was the one who helped Madam Camila lock Martha up?"Two maids stepped forward in fear, admitting they had acted on Camila's instructions.Maxwell continued, "You are both fired. As of tomorrow, I don't want to see you here again! And for everyone else… Listen carefully, you are only to follow the instructions from me and Jennifer from now on."Camila paled. What a "wonderful" child she raised. Wasn't he just humiliating her in front of the entire household by warning everyone not to listen to her?Jennifer turned to Martha. "I'm sorry, Martha. This won't happen again. I'll raise your salary to triple its current amount if you stay.""Oh, no, it's not about the money, Mrs. Lance," Martha replied gratefully. "You and Mr. Lance already pay me well. I… I won't leave. You don't need to increase my salary. You're both fair, and I wouldn't want to cause you any trouble."Camila silently cursed Jennifer, thinking she was pathetic for being so nice to a mere maid. Di

Cassidy finally beamed. "Can we go to the amusement park?"Jennifer wanted to remind her that she hadn't touched any of her homework all week and only thought about playing. But seeing her daughter's recent unhappiness, she held back and decided to let it go.The next morning, Maxwell took Cassidy out. Before leaving, he had Cassidy give Jennifer a quick kiss.Cassidy whispered, "Mommy, I'm going with Daddy now. Rest well!"With that, Maxwell left for the office with Cassidy.Jennifer planned to catch up on a week's worth of sleep. But not long after, she heard the sound of cars arriving in the courtyard. She quickly got out of bed and ran to the window. She saw several luxury cars pulling into the yard. One by one, rich socialites stepped out of the cars, cheerfully greeting Camila.Jennifer felt a headache coming on. Camila just couldn't stop causing trouble. Jennifer closed the window and pulled the covers over her head but couldn't fall back asleep.Just then, she grabbed her phon

Jennifer was at a loss when Martha hurried over. She whispered, "Don't worry, Mrs. Lance. Mr. Lance will be home shortly.""Maxwell?" Jennifer was surprised. "Didn't he take Cass to the office?"Martha smiled. "I overheard those women giving you a hard time, so I quickly called Mr. Lance. He said he'd be back soon and told you not to worry."Jennifer's heart warmed and she instantly calmed down. While cooking wasn't her forte, she could handle washing vegetables and preparing ingredients, so she began to rinse the vegetables, waiting for Maxwell to return.Meanwhile, the women outside were still intent on making things difficult for Jennifer.Fiona sneered. "Who knows if she's actually cooking in the kitchen or if she's letting the maids do it?"Vicky chimed in, "Let's find out, shall we? Camila is too soft to teach her daughter-in-law her place, but we're not so easy to fool. I won't go easy on her if she tries to trick me!"Camila, seeing her friends rallying to her side, felt
