"Jennifer, let's get divorced. The Lance family won't have a soiled woman as its matriarch."Two years after their marriage, Maxwell Lance throws a divorce agreement in Jennifer Yale's face. She understands that it's because he wants to give his first love her rightful title. In his eyes, Jennifer's nothing but a flawed product who's already been soiled by another man."You can dream on, Maxwell. For as long as I'm alive, that woman won't step foot in here!"Jennifer's refusal to get a divorce leads to her family's bankruptcy and her father's horrible end. Finally, her heart dies. Maxwell's life becomes void of her presence.On the day of Maxwell's wedding to his first love, his subordinate suddenly tells him, "You've got the wrong woman, Mr. Lance. Your ex-wife's the woman from that night!"
View MoreJennifer, weakened by the fever, couldn't withstand the tugging. In the midst of the dispute, Jennifer's strength gave out and she collapsed on the ground."What's wrong, Mrs. Lance?" Martha hurriedly got up. Seeing Jennifer's forehead covered in sweat, she grew anxious. "I'll call the doctor over. Nothing must happen to you!"Rachel was startled by this and stumbled backward. "Are you pretending again? Jennifer, you can't fool me!"Just then, a cold voice rang from behind, "What are you doing?"Rachel's heart skipped a beat. When she turned around, her facade was already in place."Maxwell, I... I heard Ms. Yale was sick, so I came to see her." She smiled gently. "But she seemed agitated to see me."After his chat with Shawn, Maxwell was having second thoughts about Rachel. His cold gaze swept over her without a word, and he walked over to pick up Jennifer.Rachel stiffened, watching Maxwell carry Jennifer into the ward.Her heart was a mess. After all, Maxwell had never treat
Before the nurse could administer the IV, Jennifer got out of bed and went out to have a look. Although she guessed Maxwell had probably left, she was a lovesick fool who didn't want to give up hope until she saw the bitter truth with her own eyes. Only then would she find peace.Jennifer walked out of the ward, looking around the corridor. As expected, there was no sign of Maxwell. Jennifer lowered her gaze, her eyelashes shielding the sadness in her eyes.Martha seemed to read her thought and hurriedly comforted her, "Don't overthink it, Mrs. Lance. Mr. Lance cares about you. He wouldn't be this nervous otherwise. Since your hospitalization, he has been working tirelessly. He would even ask about your condition during work.""That's enough, Martha." Jennifer tilted her head to the ceiling, wanting to hold back her tears. If Martha continued, she would feel reluctant to let go again.Just then, Rachel's voice rang. "Ms. Yale, do you think you can delay the divorce if you keep
Jennifer's heart tightened and was finding it hard to breathe.Why? She had already prepared herself, and she had brought up divorce many times herself. But it was so painful to hear it from Maxwell instead!"Alright." Jennifer smiled.There was no need for explanations. He simply didn't care!Maxwell didn't want to continue this topic nor wonder why he was feeling the way he was. Why did he feel like his heart was breaking when he brought up the divorce? Shouldn't he feel relieved?He ignored his feelings and opened the car door. "Get in, I'll take you back to the hospital.""No thanks," Jennifer refused bitterly. "Since the decision is set, let's cut all ties. Thank you for your help today. Even though it's the last time, I'm still very grateful."With that, she pushed herself to step away. Her head was spinning. She knew her fever had worsened from being in the rain. But this wouldn't stop her from walking away.She didn't want nor dare to face Maxwell. She feared she would
Zion slapped Jocelyn. "Bitch! Look at what you did to our daughter! The evidence is right here, yet you still won't admit it!"Bridget heard the commotion and hurried down to stop Zion.The living room was in chaos with Zion and Jocelyn's constant arguing.Jennifer stared at the two but didn't feel satisfied. She only felt a sense of sadness. Zion didn't trust her until he saw the evidence. As for Jocelyn and Bridget, they were simply reaping what they had sown! Jennifer felt bad that Zion was lied to at his age.Maxwell's cold voice rang out, "Also, you have three days to pay back the compensation from the Lance family. Otherwise, I'll sue you. After all, no one in Haven City dares to mess with us!"The situation escalated. Bridget had already lost her child, and now her money was about to be taken away.She suddenly laughed out loud. If she was going down, she would drag Jennifer down with her!She said to Maxwell, "Do you think Jennifer is devoted to you? Besides seducing
Jennifer sighed. She didn't have the energy to delve into this or try to salvage the relationship. She said flatly, "Maxwell, let's go. I'm tired.""Wait." Maxwell held her back. "I promised to clear your name. We need to make things clear today. I won't let them frame you!"Jennifer stared at him in surprise.Jocelyn, confident that everything was under control, scoffed sarcastically. "Mr. Lance, you and Jennifer have stirred up enough trouble for our family. Are you planning to escalate the situation?""Shut up!" Maxwell yelled at her and showed a video on his phone to Zion.The video was the surveillance footage of Jocelyn and Jane during the accident, showing the two women fighting. After watching it, Zion turned to Jocelyn. "Tell me why you were there when Jane had the accident! Why were you fighting with her??Jocelyn panicked and hastily explained, "Yes, I... I did see her that day. But doesn't this footage prove my innocence? I didn't push her! I didn't do anything! She
"Open the door!" Maxwell ordered domineeringly. Jocelyn realized the position she was in and had no choice but to let the maid open the door. She didn't forget to make an excuse. "I told her to go back, but she wouldn't listen. She was the one who decided to stand in the rain." Jocelyn kept blabbering, but Maxwell silenced her with a glare. He simply held Jennifer tightly and entered the Yale residence.Once inside, Maxwell dropped the umbrella and carried Jennifer to her room. Inside the bedroom, Jennifer was eager to see her father, but Maxwell stopped her. "Be a good girl and take a shower first." His tone was gentle, but his actions were forceful. He dragged her to the bathroom and prepared the bath for her. Jennifer wasn't very cooperative, so Maxwell gave her a stern look. "If you keep this up, I'll personally bathe you." The threat worked and Jennifer whispered, "Go out. I'll wash myself." "Okay, take your time," Maxwell reassured her, "Don't worry. I'm here for y
With that, Maxwell rushed away. Rachel went red with anger and pushed Michael away. "Don't touch me!""Are you... sure your leg is okay?" Michael snickered to himself. "I'll help you to the hospital if you actually did hurt yourself."Rachel sensed the sarcasm in his words and flashed him a strained grin. "I know you've always looked down on me. But you'd best believe you'll get fired once I become Maxwell's wife!"Michael couldn't help but worry for Maxwell. Was he planning to torture himself by marrying this woman?...Outside the Yale residence, the maid shut the gate tightly and said to Jennifer, "Please leave, Ms. Jennifer! Don't make this difficult for us.""I want to see my dad!" Jennifer pounded on the gate. "Tell him I won't sue Grandma and am willing to forgive her."She would compromise as long as her dad didn't disown her. She didn't want to be alone. She didn't want to be abandoned!Just then, Jocelyn walked out and flashed Jennifer a triumphant grin. "I've never
Maxwell didn't have much of a reaction as he stared down at the idiot who coveted his wife. A dark glint flashed in his eyes and he sneered. "You bought this bracelet from Mrs. Lowe, right? It must have cost at least a million dollars. I doubt Dad and your mom would give you that much. So, tell me, where did you get the money from?""I..." Jordan panicked and made up an excuse, "I borrowed it."Maxwell nodded. "You'd better not be lying. I've already ordered the finance department to freeze the company accounts. I will investigate the accounts soon.""Maxwell..." Jordan's heart dropped and he lowered his tone. "I'll pay it back. Don't make things hard for me, we're brothers after all."Jordan was basically admitting to embezzling company funds.Maxwell wasn't surprised and scoffed at him. "You're something else! Using company funds to buy gifts for women! Do you think Jennifer would accept you if she found out? This gift is stolen goods. Would she dare wear it?""Don't tell Jen
Instead, the person who came to care for her was Martha.Unfortunately, Martha seemed hesitant to speak, appearing visibly distressed.Bored, Jennifer reached out for her phone. But Martha immediately stopped her."Mrs. Lance, you're still unwell. You shouldn't be looking at these." She nervously grabbed Jennifer's phone and added, "The doctor said you must rest well."It was then that Jennifer became certain that something was amiss with Martha.Putting on a serious expression, Jennifer ordered, "Martha, give me the phone.""M-Mr. Lance said you need to recuperate."Martha became even more flustered. She still dared not return the phone to Jennifer.The next second, Jennifer got out of the bed, nearly pulling out the IV needle. "Be careful, Mrs. Lance."Martha rushed over to help her. "Please don't make things difficult for me. Mr. Lance is only doing it for your own good."Jennifer's mind was in disarray, and she sternly demanded, "Give me the phone! Now!"She wanted to
