Maxwell was followed by Lance Corporation's executives, shareholders, and some bodyguards. It was a formidable group of people.The door to the president's office was kicked open by a bodyguard, catching Jordan completely off guard. He never expected Maxwell to barge in so boldly, and he lost his cool."Maxwell, what... What do you think you're doing? Where do you think you are?" Jordan stammered. "Don't forget, you had been dismissed during the shareholders' meeting. Now, I'm the president of Lance Corporation, and Dad is the chairman. If you don't wish to be thrown out, you'd best leave now!"Maxwell stood before him, unmoving. A murderous glint flickered in his eyes.Jordan panicked and shouted, "Quick! Call security! Get security up here!"Before he could finish, Maxwell signaled to his bodyguards. Jordan suddenly cried out in pain as the bodyguards dislocated his arms.Jordan bared his teeth at Maxwell. "How dare you do this to me? Just you wait, Maxwell! Security will be he
"Mr. Lance, please come back and fix Lance Corporation! The three of you are from the same family, so why are your capabilities worlds apart?" The shareholders, who had dismissed Maxwell earlier, now realized how unreliable Zachary and Jordan were. They didn't have strategic minds and only knew how to paint rosy pictures.But this was their own decision. After they dismissed Maxwell, they started regretting their actions. Now that Maxwell had finally returned, the shareholders and executives took the opportunity to expose Zachary and Jordan's actions, hoping to bring Maxwell back.Zachary was furious to hear this and turned red with anger. He cursed them. "You traitors! You supported me when it was profitable, and now that you've had no use for me, you want to turn against me! Don't forget, this company belongs to the Lance family!"One of the shareholders sneered. "What have we used you for? Rather than that, it's more like you deceived and abused our trust! While this company be
Lorraine's heart sank, and she asked, "What do you mean by that? We lost the company too?"Zachary gritted his teeth. "Those silver foxes saw Maxwell return and clung to him like he was their savior! They've all betrayed me. No one supports me anymore. They're… going to dismiss me soon.""What?" Lorraine's eyes widened in disbelief. "How is that possible? How can a done deal just vanish?"Zachary laughed bitterly, "Now I understand why Maxwell hasn't been coming to the company or handling any affairs. He was waiting for Jordan and me to mess up. The more we failed at what he could easily accomplish, the more the shareholders would trust him. He had never lost control over Lance Corporation!"Lorraine felt a chill run down her spine. She thought they would gain control of Lance Corporation after Robert died, and everything else would fall into place. But in just one day, everything changed. Fate had burst her bubble and forced her back into reality.Lorraine shook her head, "Imposs
Maxwell's decisiveness once again earned the respect of the employees and shareholders. No one dared to complain. Many were relieved that Maxwell had returned. Otherwise, who knew what mess Zachary and Jordan would have made of Lance Corporation?After the meeting, Maxwell returned to his office and was surprised to see Jennifer and Martha there.Maxwell frowned. "Martha, I told you to take care of Jennifer at the hospital. Why did you bring her here?"It was freezing outside, and he didn't want Jennifer to catch a cold.Jennifer quickly interjected, "Don't blame Martha. I insisted on coming. I heard you returned to Lance Corporation, and I was worried about you."Maxwell waved Martha away and walked over to Jennifer. He suddenly wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her into his embrace. He smirked and asked in a husky, playful tone, "Now that you've seen me, are you relieved?"Jennifer looked at his confident demeanor, feeling like the Maxwell from before was an imposter.
"Won't you stay with me?" Maxwell led Jennifer to the couch and whispered into her ears seductively, "I feel at ease when I can see you."Jennifer blushed. Maxwell always found her shyness adorable.He said considerately, "You can sit here and use the tablet or read some magazines. I'll have the secretary bring you some afternoon tea. Once I'm done, I'll take you to watch a movie, okay?"Jennifer nodded. She had no objections to whatever he proposed. As long as she could see him safe and unharmed, she was content.When the secretary came in to deliver the fruit platter and snacks, Jennifer noted that he was a man. She remembered that Maxwell used to have a bunch of female secretaries.After the secretary left, Jennifer asked, "Why is your secretary a man now?"Maxwell shrugged. "Those women were too chatty. I didn't like it. Men talk less and are easier to manage. More importantly, my wife won't misunderstand me."Jennifer glared at him. "Who are you calling your wife?"Then, s
Jennifer rolled her eyes. "How shameless!"Laura retorted: "What are you talking about? Ever since you got with Maxwell, all you have on your mind is sex. You're not as innocent as before!"Their banter continued.Meanwhile, Maxwell had finished most of his work. Night fell in Haven City, and the city lights slowly turned on."Are you finished with work?" Jennifer peeked out from her phone cutely.Maxwell pecked her cheeks. "You must be hungry. Come, let's get something to eat."Jennifer put away her phone excitedly.As they were about to leave, Michael entered anxiously."Mr. Lance, it's best if you and Mrs. Lance stay for now," Michael said nervously. "Our company has been surrounded by reporters!"Jennifer panicked and pressed, "Why?"Michael explained, "It seems Mr. Zachary and Ms. Lorraine tipped off the reporters. Now, everyone is saying..."He hesitated, afraid that saying it aloud would anger Maxwell.Maxwell was already standing by the window, looking at the crowd
At the same time, Lorraine called a group of reporters to the hospital.The room was filled with flashing lights, capturing Jordan's miserable state.Lorraine cried out, "Everyone, look! Maxwell has taken over Lance Corporation by defying his father and beating his brother. He's ruthless and cunning. We are no match for him! We had no choice but to have the media seek justice for us!"Lorraine cried as she spoke, stirring up the anger of everyone present. After all, they could all see Jordan's wounds.Just then, Zachary took out Jordan's medical records sadly.The reporters rushed over."Mr. Lance, did your son chase you out of the family? Can you tell us more about Maxwell tampering with the will?""Mr. Lance, how do you feel about your two sons turning against each other?"Zachary said angrily, "Maxwell is not my son! I do not have such an unfilial son! I declare that I will sever my relationship with Maxwell! As for the will, I will take this matter to court!"Lorraine rush
"Madam, it seems Mr. Lance won't be coming home tonight. Perhaps you should rest first?" Martha Zayne kindly spoke upon noticing the still-lit bedroom. A hint of disappointment crossed Jennifer Yale's eyes. Just then, the sound of an engine revving came from the yard. She didn't care to put on her slippers as she rushed to the window to peer outside.Sure enough, it was Maxwell Lance's silver Bentley pulling into the garage.Jennifer took a deep breath, glancing down at her sensual lingerie while her heart pounded like a drum. Despite being married for two years, Maxwell had always slept in the guest room, and he never touched her.She knew their marriage was arranged by Maxwell's grandfather, Robert Lance, and it was not his choice. However, two years had passed. They couldn't possibly continue on like this.Did Maxwell not like her because she was merely an undergraduate with no experience in relationships? Was it because he found her too passive?With these thoughts, Jennifer
