Robert growled angrily, "You've abused my trust and hurt Jennifer while frolicking with that shameless woman. Do you really think you're old enough to escape my grasp?""Grandpa, I don't like being threatened. You don't need to threaten me with Jordan or the company. I'm the one in control of the Lance family now. It won't affect me in the slightest if that useless brat comes in."After hearing Maxwell, Robert began coughing violently from his anger."Grandpa!" Maxwell was startled and hurriedly patted Robert's back. "Where's your medicine? Let me get it for you."Robert pushed him away. "No need! I've finally realized that I've raised an ungrateful child!""What do you want from me, Grandpa?" Maxwell rubbed his temples. "Rachel is just a powerless woman. Why do you hate her so much?"Robert sneered disdainfully. "Her? Powerless? If she were, how did she manage to ruin Jennifer's reputation? Fortunately, Dr. Lowe stepped in to clear Jennifer's name. Listen to me, and cut ties wit

The house was pitch black when Maxwell returned. He turned on the lights and could feel his anger boiling within! He called Michael and asked coldly, "Why is it taking so long for you to investigate something? Do you have any results?"Michael could tell that Maxwell was in a bad mood and quickly replied, "I was just about to report to you. Dr. Lowe has been leading his team in research abroad for the past three years. "Although he is known as a lecturer at Haven University, he hasn't actually taught there. I've also investigated his flight records. He only came back a few times in the past three years, and each time was just to visit family. He probably didn't have the opportunity to develop anything with Mrs. Lance.""What about Jennifer's classmates?" Maxwell pressed on. "Is she close to any of them?"Michael replied, "I've checked the school. Mrs. Lance hasn't been particularly close to any male students, nor has she been involved in any rumors with anyone. Also, Dr. Lowe h

"Of course, it has everything to do with you!" Lorraine's eyes darted around before she said, "Your grandpa favors Maxwell so much because he married Jennifer. After all, Jennifer's mother helped your grandpa undergo that surgery that no one dared to perform. "But Maxwell isn't cherishing her. If Jennifer had married you, your mother-in-law would have been your grandpa's lifesaver. Then, you would be…"Jordan quickly interrupted her, "Mom! What are you talking about? Jennifer is Maxwell's wife. I'm the revered second son of the Lance family. How could I take Maxwell's hand-me-downs? Besides, I'm only 24. I'm not in a rush to get married!"He wasn't ready to settle down yet!Lorraine shook her head. "Why can't you understand? We can use Jennifer to gain favor with your grandpa and obtain Lance Group. Once your grandpa passes away, you can kick her out, and I'll find you a girl from a good family. Then we'll have everything."Jordan recalled how Robert had always treated Jennifer l

Robert remembered there were a few casualties from last year's tornado, so he didn't feel at ease letting Jennifer go to school alone. Therefore, he reminded Jordan, "Remember to ensure Jennifer gets to school safely. And remember to bring her home too, understand?"Jordan immediately nodded. "Leave it to me, Grandpa."Jennifer felt she would come across as ungrateful if she continued to refuse. So, she awkwardly said to Jordan, "Sorry for the trouble."The next morning, after Jordan and Jennifer had breakfast, they headed out. It was indeed storming outside. "Jennifer, it seems like this will be the norm for the entire week," Jordan said while holding an umbrella for her. "I have to pass your school on the way to work, anyway. And Grandpa is worried about you too, so he asked me to take care of you on behalf of my brother." Jennifer didn't take the passenger seat but chose to sit in the back. She deliberately kept some distance from Jordan. "I'm sure this is a huge inconvenie

"Shut the fuck up! Don't embarrass me here!" Jordan was afraid of being overheard, so he tried to pull her away. But Bridget refused to give up and angrily scolded, "Did you find another woman? Who's the bitch that seduced you this time?"The crowd of onlookers grew and were now whispering among themselves. Jordan's dignity was shattered. He pointed at the crowd and yelled, "What are you looking at? Get the hell back to work!"He then turned to Bridget. "If you don't leave now, I'll call security to kick you out!"But Bridget wouldn't give up. She shrieked hysterically, "You promised that you'd invest in my movie! Are you going back on your words?"Jordan narrowed his eyes and sneered. "Have you looked in the mirror recently? If I'd invested in you, wouldn't I just be throwing money away?""You're a big fat liar, Jordan Lance! You seduced me and won't take responsibility!" Bridget accused him loudly, wishing to attract more people to expose Jordan's true colors. But Jordan h

Maxwell immediately felt a surge of anger and felt insulted. He asked coldly, "When did Jordan leave?'"He only just left." After Michael said this, Maxwell grabbed his coat and disappeared from the office.At Haven University's gates, Jordan's red Ferrari was very eye-catching. He didn't notice that he was being tailed.Bridget stared fixedly at his car, her eyes filled with jealousy and anger. She was determined to find out who stole Jordan's heart this time.It seemed that the bitch was still a college student! How shameless!But she didn't expect to see Jennifer walking up to Jordan's car. Moreover, the latter even personally helped Jennifer with the car door. He was being unusually attentive and considerate.Bridget widened her eyes in disbelief. Were Jordan and Jennifer having an affair?She gritted her teeth in hatred. She had been competing with Jennifer since childhood, but she never expected that Jennifer would also compete with her over a man!But Bridget was smarter

Jordan grabbed the car keys and headed out without giving Jennifer a chance to refuse. On the way to school, Jordan would steal glances at Jennifer from the rearview mirror. "You're all dressed up today, Jennifer. Are you going on a date with Maxwell?""No," Jennifer said awkwardly. "There's an award ceremony at school today. They're commemorating me for saving someone.""Oh... that!" Jordan said sincerely, "When I saw those slanderous comments, I didn't pay them any attention. I've always believed that you were a kind and qualified doctor. It seems my judgment was correct."Jennifer felt melancholic. Even someone like Jordan, who wasn't very close to her, was willing to believe in her. But Maxwell had doubted her and accused her of causing the death of Rachel's grandmother. Bitterness welled up within Jennifer.Just then, Jordan sighed. "I envy you, Jennifer. Despite the misunderstanding, everyone still adores you. Unlike me."Jennifer was taken aback and asked instinctively,

Finally, it was time for the award presentation. Maxwell remained calm and composed. He was dressed in a neat and expensive black suit. His tall figure stood before Jennifer, and he handed the honor certificate to her personally."Jennifer Yale, you shouldn't care about how others view you. Do what you believe is right." He met her gaze as he said thisJennifer's heart swelled with happiness. Was he acknowledging her innocence? She knew how much she valued Maxwell's acknowledgment more than anyone else's.When she took the certificate, Maxwell's fingertips unintentionally touched hers. Jennifer felt a surge of electricity spreading from her fingertips throughout her body. But Maxwell had already withdrawn his hand and stood beside her for a photo.It was only then that Jennifer realized, apart from their marriage portrait, that this was the first photo she had taken with Maxwell in the two years they had been together. They didn't have wedding photos, nor did they have selfies or

Jennifer was taken aback. Was Maxwell doing this for her?The counselor pulled her. "Come on, Jennifer. You have to join the principal for lunch today and thank Mr. Lance. After all, he's probably donating to commemorate your bravery this time."Jennifer was thus forced to join the others for lunch.At the table, Jennifer was the only student there, sitting in the farthest corner.Maxwell sat at the center. The executives were still praising and toasting to him.Jennifer looked at herself, then at him, suddenly realizing how different they were.Maxwell was always shining so brightly, while she...She absentmindedly picked at the food in front of her, listening to the usually stern leaders fawning over Maxwell, feeling disdainful yet helpless.Just then, the principal piped up. "Ms. Yale, Mr. Lance has cleared his schedule to present you the award. You should at least toast to him to show your gratitude."The director of academic affairs began pouring a glass of white wine for

Maxwell's lips curled as he downed the wine. He smiled. "You're remarkable, Ms. Yale. Not only are you skilled in medicine, but you're also good at drinking. Would you like to have a few more drinks?"Everyone present could tell Maxwell was showing interest in Jennifer and urged Jennifer to have a few more drinks with Maxwell.Jennifer's ears buzzed with the cheers around her. No one cared about her well-being. They only cared about achievements and the school's interests.A wave of desolation washed over her. She knew that Maxwell wanted to make things difficult for her.But in front of the school's executives, Jennifer had no means to defend herself and could only be strung along by Maxwell.Jennifer decided to throw caution to the wind and poured herself another glass, downing it fast and fiercely.Maxwell realized something was amiss. Jennifer couldn't hold her liquor. She was clearly drinking to spite him. Unfortunately, he couldn't show his concern since there was a crowd w
