His strong grip on Jean’s wrist drew the attention of many crew members toward them. Jean frowned, trying to free her wrist from Emmett's grasp. But he held on firmly. Soon, Jean's wrist turned a pale white. "Emmett, please mind yourself," Jean said sternly. Her gaze locked onto Emmett as she exerted force in return. She tried to break free from his grasp. Emmett looked at her expressionlessly, not letting go despite her struggles. "It's been five years. You should be bolder now . Are you still afraid of me?" Jean was momentarily stunned. Just as she was about to speak, she noticed Tyler walking toward them from outside the studio. Jean merely glanced at him briefly before swiftly retracting her gaze. Tyler entered the studio and spotted the subtle confrontation between Jean and Emmett.As his gaze landed on Emmett's tight grip on Jean's hand, his face grew cold. "What scene are you two acting out?"His voice was low as he looked at Emmett's hand, his ey
Jean’s expression faded as she lowered her head and looked at the red marks on her wrist. "I don't need you to remind me." She hadn't forgotten. And she could never forget it in this lifetime. Jean's gaze turned cold, her eyes distant. She couldn't help feeling irritated by the strange looks she was receiving from those around her.Even though she had grown accustomed to this kind of scrutiny, her blood still boiled and her eyes still reddened in this situation. Walking away from behind Tyler, she left the film set alone. When Simone returned, she was puzzled when she noticed Jean leaving in such haste. She was about to approach her to inquire when she saw Emmett staring firmly at Jean. By his side stood Tyler. Seeing the two of them, Simone immediately understood why Jean looked so troubled. She hurried over to Emmett’s side and whispered, "Why did you come here? Let's go." Right now, Jean wanted nothing to do with either of them. Being Jean's long
Jean left the film studio and hailed a taxi immediately.As she was about to close the car door, she felt a force stopping her. Jean looked up, only to see Emmett standing by the car, preventing her from closing the door. His body was bent over as he tried to get in. The taxi driver, witnessing this scene, was left bewildered. He asked, "Are you two together?" "Yes," Emmett answered before Jean could speak. "We're going to Wesley Park." Only then did the taxi driver retract his gaze and start the car.Jean sighed. Withdrawing her gaze from Emmett, she said softly, "Is this necessary?" Their connection had already faded away. Now, his persistence had lost its meaning. Emmett casted a cold glance at Tyler, who was approaching from a distance. "I find it necessary, so it is." The driver had already started the car and driven away. When Tyler's figure gradually disappeared from Emmett's sight, he fixed his gaze on Jean and asked, "So, does my presence mak
Jean's reaction delighted Emmett immensely. As she placed her hand on the back of his hand, Emmett instantly grasped it. His gaze was burning as he looked at her. He said, "I knew you'd choose me." Jean remained silent. Tyler had already gotten out of the car and was standing not far from them. Guided by Emmett, Jean stepped out of the taxi. Holding Jean's hand, Emmett’s lips curved into a smile. "Mr. Larson, how did you manage to catch up? But it seems you're a bit late. Jean has already chosen me." Tyler furrowed his brows, his expression growing increasingly grim. His gaze was fixed on Jean as if he was trying to find any sign of weakness in her expression. But Jean remained calm throughout, even squeezing Emmett's hand slightly when Tyler's gaze locked onto her. Tyler observed the subtle changes in Jean's actions, and his expression turned colder. "You'll eventually come to me." As he said these words, his voice held a strong sens
Jean frowned as a hint of confusion flashed across her eyes, but she quickly caught on."Emmett, that’s not what I meant."Whether Alison had come between her and Emmett, Jean knew that she and Emmett were through. That was because she couldn’t overcome the emotional barrier within. Alison was only an excuse she used to reject Emmett.At the moment, Emmett refused to listen to any other words from Jean. Without listening to Jean, he turned around and said coldly, "I'll have Simone come pick you up. Stay right where you are." After that, Emmett hailed a taxi and left. Jean stood in place with a frown. As expected, Simone arrived after several minutes. Upon seeing Jean standing in place, she said indifferently, "Get into the car." After taking a deep breath, Jean got into the front passenger seat. She looked unpleasant throughout the journey. While looking at Jean, Simone collected her thoughts and spoke. "Jean, why don't you give Emmett a chance? He's decide
"Jean, do I truly have no chance at all?" Tyler's expression darkened a little, but his tone remained composed."You even gave Emmett a chance. Why not give me one?"While biting her lip gently, Jean teared up with emotions. "Mr. Larson, Emmett and I are rekindling our past romance. As for you, we're just acquaintances."She switched off the security monitor upon finishing her words, as she no longer had the courage to face Tyler.Tyler held the takeout bag and stood still for a long while before leaving.Only Jean could make him experience an unprecedented sense of defeat.Jean sat on the sofa in the living room for a long time before mustering up the courage to peer through the peephole.Tyler was no longer outside the door.Upon opening the door with dejection, she spotted a takeout bag at the entrance.She picked up the takeout bag in a daze and glanced in the direction of the corner. Upon seeing no sign of Tyler, she was certain that he had left.She gloomily brough
Simone's soft voice carried a hint of guilt. Jean looked at Simone with confusion. It never crossed her mind that the child had been born under the personal guidance of Bertha. She thought Simone felt guilty because of Bertha's matter. Thus, she smiled and spoke. "I can only say that I have a connection with that child, but we weren't fated. Simone, I've never blamed any of you all these years." Jean added, "Besides, you shouldn't give Mrs. Walker the cold shoulder anymore. I'm sure she has tried her best already." Simone bit her lip and looked at Jean. "Jean, actually, the child …" She paused but continued upon noticing Jean's gaze on her. "Actually, you can have another child again." Jean responded with a faint smile and replied calmly, "Perhaps it's because you've never been pregnant, so you don't quite understand. That child carried all my panic, surprises, and expectations throughout my pregnancy."Although she had only seen her child once, the special
Tyler didn't receive any reply from Jean for the whole night. No matter how hard Judy and Coleen had tried to persuade Tyler, he was determined to take Dorian back to Teak Villa. On the way, Dorian fell asleep in the car. After parking his car in the garage, Tyler carried Dorian out of the car. Albert walked over and extended his arms to take Dorian. "Mr. Larson, allow me." Tyler shook his head and carried Dorian back to the bedroom before placing him on the bed. He gazed silently at the fast-asleep Dorian, noticing a slight resemblance between Dorian's facial features and Jean's. As his expression darkened, he tucked Dorian in before leaving the bedroom and heading to the study room. Chris was returning from a business appointment when he received a call from Tyler. "Mr. Larson …" Chris quickly answered the call. Tyler's indifferent voice rang out. "Tell Cassie that 'The Secret' has failed to pass censorship." Chris was confused upon hearing th
