Dorothy stared at the entirely different Jean with a deep, unsettling feeling in her heart.

"You were living just fine in Resovia, so why did you come back? What's your motive?"

Jean faced Dorothy with calmness. There didn't seem to be a shift in her emotions despite their long-awaited reunion.

She gave a faint mocking smile, her expression filled with sarcasm.

"Well, thanks to your frequent warnings and care, my life in Resovia was 'not bad.'"

She didn't have a pleasant time during her days in Resovia.

How could Joyce possibly tolerate her success? She had people occasionally engineer accidents for her, almost wishing for Jean to vanish from this world.

Dorothy looked at Jean with a puzzled expression, seemingly not fully grasping the meaning behind her words.

Jean looked at her expressionlessly and spoke in a detached manner.

"Is there anything else? If not, please leave. Don't disturb me anymore."

Dorothy stayed silent for a while. When she saw Jean about to close the door

    After calmly savoring her breakfast, Jean took a sip of her morning coffee. Her eyes were devoid of any tension. She spoke with a relaxed demeanor."Henry Cooper got in touch with me yesterday and expressed a strong interest in 'The Secret.' He's willing to invest."Simone paused briefly, then quickly caught on and exclaimed, "You mean Henry, the son of the wealthy Henkel fashion tycoon, Alexandar Cooper?"Jean nodded.Simone looked puzzled."How did you get in touch with him?"Henry was a renowned playboy within their Henkel social circle.As far as Simone could recall, Jean had no connections with the type of people Henry usually associated with."How do you know him?"Jean tidied up the dishes and utensils, then calmly said, "Perhaps we met at Sheldon and Andi's engagement ceremony. Sheldon gave him my contact information."Simone furrowed her brows, her gaze intense as she looked at Jean. She spoke in a low voice."Jean, you need to think this through carefully. Henry mi

    Upon spotting Tyler, Henry had a brief delay in his reaction. Noticing Tyler's gaze fixed on Jean, confusion flashed in his eyes. Then, he stood up and turned to Tyler, smiling as he spoke."Mr. Larson, are you dining here as well?"Tyler nodded."The food at this restaurant is quite good. Mr. Cooper, do you mind if I join you?"Naturally, Henry didn’t mind, but there was still a hint of bewilderment on his face.After all, he had no prior contact with Tyler. However, Tyler was a rising star in Henkel, and all the major families were eager to please him. So, Henry saw no reason to provoke any conflict with him."Of course. Mr. Larson, it's an honor for me to have you join us. Waiter, please add another set of tableware."Henry warmly welcomed Tyler.Tyler nodded slightly, pulled out the chair beside Jean, and sat down. His deep gaze briefly landed on her before moving away.Jean took a deep breath inwardly, managing to restrain her impulse to give Tyler a stern look.Seeing T

    At the banquet, Tyler excused himself after taking a phone call.After he left, the private room fell silent.Henry watched as the private room door closed, his gaze settling with interest on Jean."Ms. Michaels, are you involved in any entanglement with Tyler?"Jean’s hand, which was holding a glass, paused briefly. She took a delicate sip before setting it down, wearing a subtle smile on her face."What kind of entanglement could there be between him and me?"Henry arched an eyebrow slightly. He was not entirely convinced by her and said with a smile, "Emotional entanglement."Jean’s face subtly shifted in response to his words, but she concealed any visible reaction.Simone immediately looked at Henry, speaking in a low voice, "Mr. Cooper, this joke isn't funny at all."Henry raised an eyebrow slightly. Looking at her, he whispered softly, "Do I look like I'm joking?"He was an experienced player in the realm of love affairs. As soon as Tyler walked in earlier, Jean's enti

    After leaving the restaurant, Jean drove back to the residential area.Upon arriving at the entrance of the residential area, she received a call from Tristan."Jean, I've got some good news to share with you. Tyler has invested."Hearing this news, Jean's expression remained completely unchanged. She spoke in a calm tone."Yeah, I know."Tristan tightened his grip on the phone and asked softly, "How did you know?"He had just received a call from Tyler confirming this matter, and immediately after that, he called Jean.However, Jean's tone seemed to imply she knew about it even before he did."I met him just now. Henry also signed the contract with me. With both Tyler and Henry investing, we shouldn't have to worry about funding for a while. Let's get ready for the shoot."Jean's tone remained calm, devoid of any surprise or discomfort.It was only now that Tristan realized that he knew very little about her, despite their many years of acquaintance."Alright."After their

    Under Jean's arrangement, everyone set off for the filming location.Cassie had already gotten into her own car. But when she heard that Tyler had arrived, she immediately got out and walked straight toward him."Mr. Larson ..."She approached Tyler with a smile on her face, her eyes filled with admiration for him.Tyler calmly withdrew his gaze from Jean and glanced at Cassie beside him. Without saying a word, he nodded slightly and walked toward his car.Seeing this, Cassie pursed her lips slightly from embarrassment. However, she still mustered the courage to follow him."Mr. Larson, why don't we go to the filming location together? It's a good opportunity for me to prove to you that your contract with me won't lead to any losses."Cassie was very confident in her acting skills.Previously, she was frustrated by the lack of opportunities. But now that she had signed with Tyler's film and television company, she wouldn't have to worry about resources in the future.However,

    Cassie slowly withdrew her gaze from Tyler. Her hands, which were hanging by her sides, were tightly clenched.She looked at Jean, walked over slowly, and spoke softly."Ms. Michaels, Mr. Larson has invited everyone for dinner tonight. Do you have time?"Jean gave Cassie a cold glance, her expression unchanged as she replied calmly, "No. I'll need to arrange tomorrow's work later, so enjoy your meal."Jean's straightforward rejection caused Tyler's expression to immediately darken."Since Ms. Michaels is busy, we can do it on another day."Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Jean and Tyler with curiosity.Jean's sister was the famous celebrity, Joyce.The fact that Joyce was Tyler's wife was no longer a secret, so Jean was Tyler's sister-in-law. In theory, they should be quite close with each other.But at this moment, they gave off a rather strange feeling.Cassie's expression changed slightly. She had thought that if Jean declined, Tyler wouldn’t say anything.However,

    Jean’s response was very courteous, making it impossible to discern anything from her attitude.Tristan stood beside Jean, feeling quite uncomfortable as he noticed Tyler's piercing gaze. It seemed to be fixed on Jean like a predator observing its prey.However, judging by Jean's demeanor, it seemed that Tyler's actions were one-sided.After Jean responded, Cassie noticed that Tyler fell into silence. She suggested cautiously, "Mr. Larson, why don't we go to the restaurant first?"Tyler finally withdrew his gaze from Jean and got up to head outside.Tristan found an opportunity to follow, but his arm was grabbed by Simone from behind."Don’t."Tristan hesitated for a moment, came to a halt, and looked at her with confusion."If he continues to say ambiguous things in front of everyone, Jean's reputation will definitely be affected in the future."Tristan could see that Tyler did it intentionally.He boldly teased Jean using his identity as her brother-in-law.

    Jean looked at Tyler warily, her face somewhat pale.Tyler had never addressed her like this before, and there was no need for him to do so now.Jean had previously been living by his side under Joyce's identity. In reality, she had very little contact with him."Please get in the car."Tyler calmly welcomed Jean's scrutiny, his profound eyes revealing no emotion.Jean couldn't fathom the thoughts of the man before her.It was the same five years ago, and it was the same five years later.Jean took a deep breath, feeling the weight of everyone's gaze on her. With a somber expression, she bent down and got into the car.As soon as she got into the car, Tyler closed the door and proceeded to drive.Cassie and her manager were sitting in the SUV. When they saw how gentlemanly Tyler was treating Jean, Cassie's manager couldn't help but comment."If you told me there's nothing going on between Jean and Mr. Larson, I wouldn't believe it."Cassie had a cold and displeased expressio

Robin drove them to her apartment. Upon seeing where they were heading, Conner said to Robin softly, "Roo, I won't be going back to your apartment."Upon hearing this, Robin looked confused. Before she could ask why, Conner added softly, "I want to return to Swiree."Robin was taken aback for a moment. Then, she replied, "Dad, you really don't need to rush back home."Conner had already sold the family business in Swiree when Alina was hospitalized in Henkel. As such, Robin had not expected to hear Conner tell her that he wanted to return to Swiree."Just stay here," Robin said.Upon hearing that, Conner sighed softly and

She tried to maintain her composure while holding the phone.After what seemed like ages, Terence finally answered her call."Roo, why are you still up?"Terence's gentle voice came through in the end. His tone was tinged with a hint of exhaustion.Upon hearing his voice, Robin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.Seeing that Terence had ended up answering her call, she supposed there weren't any problems to worry about."Yeah, I haven't gone to sleep yet. I'm still—"Robin was about to tell Terence that she was still at the hospital.However, Terence quickly interjected, "I'm still at the hospital now."Upon hearing Terence's words, Robin unconsciously tightened her grip on her phone.

    Robin's response was in no way problematic.From her response, it was clear how cautious and serious she was when dealing with matters of the heart.Brian sighed and looked at Robin deeply.However, Robin deliberately avoided Brian's gaze at this moment.She didn't want him to waste his time on her. Robin certainly didn't want Brian's friendship with Terence to be negatively affected because of her.Seeing that Robin was deliberately avoiding his gaze, Brian curled his lips into a small smile and said softly, "You don't need to be so wary of me. I'm not going to force you to help me."I'm glad to see that you're going steady with Terence. I'm looking forward to attending your guys' wedding."Upon hearing this, Robin pursed her lips lightly. She let out a calm smile and replied, "Well, then you'll have to spend quite some time waiting."Brian turned to look at Robin. He had a tender expression on his face as he said, "Don't worry, I know Terence very well. I'm certain he'll marr

    Robin couldn't help looking surprised upon seeing Brian dressed in formal attire. He looked somewhat weary."Mr. Collins," Robin greeted.Brian nodded slightly in response and walked over to her side.He whispered, "I heard that Aunt Alina isn't doing very well, so I came to check on you guys. Don't be too upset if you can help it."Upon hearing this, Robin pursed her lips. She replied in a soft voice, "I already expected this to happen, so I'm not too upset by it. I just feel a bit helpless at the moment."Although Robin had already anticipated this outcome, she couldn't change it.Robin sighed as a hint of grief filled her eyes.Brian walked over to sit beside her. His tone was gentle as he said, "Death is inevitable for everyone, after all. People either die from old age or sickness. Try to take it easy."Aunt Alina probably wouldn't want you to be so upset either."Robin nodded and turned her gaze toward Brian. When she noticed that was wearing a suit, she asked, "Where we

    During her conversation with Alina, Robin had already tried her best to keep her emotions under control. She did not expect Alina to get so worked up.Robin simply didn't want Alina to use her past as an example to educate Robin.After all, everybody was living a different life.Robin would never settle for second best.Robin sat quietly as the doctor continued talking. But she didn't hear a word he said.  Noticing Robin's low spirits, Conner said softly to her after the doctor left, "Roo, don't burden yourself with all this. This day was bound to come sooner or later."Although Conner was trying to comfort Robin, his voice was hoarse and contained a hint of melancholy that he failed to conceal.Robin took a deep breath. With her reddened, teary eyes, she told Conner, "I shouldn't have argued with her knowing she was sick. With her current state, it's my fault that I insisted on my point."Conner sighed with a hint of helplessness in his expression. He avoided Robin's eyes and

    Robin took a deep breath and said softly, "Don't worry about Chandler. Terence will handle it."After all, Chandler raised Terence like a son despite not being blood-related. The bond between them was too strong for Terence to ignore."Just focus on getting better."Alina went silent for a while. Robin chose not to say anything further either.She wanted to end the discussion in Alina's silence. But to her surprise, Alina uttered hesitantly after a long pause, "No, Terence will not care about Chandler."If Terence helps Chandler out, Weiss Group will face setbacks. Terence prioritizes his interests above all else. He won't care about Chandler. I…"Robin watched Alina getting worked up as she continued talking. Robin couldn't help but feel bad.However, she couldn't pinpoint her feelings. Did she feel bad because after all these years, Alina still cared about Chandler? Or was it because Conner's effort was being overlooked by Alina?Even though Chandler was her biological father

    Conner had been working tirelessly to take care of the family. Even now that Alina fell ill, he cared for her selflessly."I should go back and check on your mom. If not, she'll wake up and find herself alone."Robin felt bad watching Conner's silhouette. She and Conner went back to the ward together. Sure enough, Alina was already awake.Robin sat on the couch and felt a mix of emotions as she watched Conner care for Alina devotedly.Alina had finished her medicine for the day, and Conner needed to get her the newly prescribed medicine from the pharmacy. So, Robin stayed back to keep Alina company.Robin kept her gaze fixed on Alina's weary face and asked softly, "Mom, do you want me to end up like you?"Alina paused for a moment after listening to Robin as a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes. Clearly, she did not understand the meaning of Robin's words.Robin took a deep breath to control her own emotions and continued softly, "I was referring to finding a man who takes

    Terence was waiting at a traffic light, so his surroundings were noisy. As Robin's voice was very soft, Terence couldn't quite make out what she was saying.   "I'm heading to the hospital to check on her now. How are things with your mom?" Terence repeated his question to Robin again.  Robin went silent.  She had already decided to be with Terence, and he had also publicly clarified that nothing was happening between him and Monica. So, it would be childish of her to ask the question again because he had already made things clear.  Robin's lips were pressed together, and her expression had reverted back to normal. She said, "She's fine here. Don't worry about it."  She then murmured softly under her breath, "I'll call you back later. Drive safely."  As soon as she finished talking, she immediately ended the call.  Terence didn't give it much thought after Robin ended the call.
