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
"What does she mean?" Cassie looked at Jean's retreating figure while gnashing her teeth. Her manager quickly held her back. "Don't argue with her. She's in a bad mood right now and just wants to target you. Don't fall for it." Cassie believed Chris revealed the matter to her because her opportunity had arrived. She thought Tyler had decided to give up on Jean due to her unclear relationship with Emmett. Thus, Jean's previous words were a great stimulus to Cassie. She refused to admit that Jean was the reason Tyler had suddenly taken interest in her and signed her under Larson Group. "Jean, what exactly do you mean?" Cassie ran after Jean and questioned her, disregarding the presence of the crew members on the set. Upon seeing Cassie chasing after her angrily, Jean stopped in her tracks and smiled. "I don't mean anything special. I'm just telling you to focus on acting and not overthink things." After that, she turned around and said firmly to the crew
Instead of responding to Tristan, Jean only looked at the young lady silently and inquired. "What's your name?" The young lady immediately replied, "Stella Hosk." Jean nodded before speaking indifferently to her assistant. "Give her a segment of the previous audition script to review." Upon hearing this, Stella smiled and hurriedly responded. "Ms. Michaels, there's no need to wait. I can do the audition now." Tristan immediately interrupted Stella's words, "Forget it. We haven't terminated the contract with Cassie yet." After that, he looked at Jean and whispered, "Jean, let me handle the matters with Cassie. I can change her mind." While looking at Stella's yearning gaze, Jean said indifferently, "You can leave your contact information and wait for further updates."Upon hearing this, Stella instantly looked dejected. However, she said solemnly to Jean before leaving, "Ms. Michaels, I'm a sophomore student at Henkel Film Academy, and I hope you can give
Considering the rumors of a feud between Joyce and Jean and that no outsiders knew about Jean's existence, the lobby manager could guess that Dorian had never met Jean.After all, Jean had been working abroad all these years. "That woman is your mother's younger sister, but we don't know much about her." When Dorian was about to inquire further, Albert rushed into the building with concern. "Dorian, how could you come to the company by yourself without letting me know? I was worried sick."Dorian's attention was diverted upon seeing Albert breaking out in a sweat. "The bodyguards are keeping me protected. You don't have to worry." Albert finally heaved a sigh of relief after ensuring Dorian's safety. Then, he hurriedly took Dorian's hand and led him away."Please don't ever do this again. I'm too old for surprises." Dorian nodded silently. After taking several steps forward, he turned around to look at the tightly shut elevator doors solemnly. He had never heard
The staff members were so immersed in the discussions that they didn't notice someone had entered the building. After all, they thought no important people would come to the company at the end of the workday."What are you guys talking about?" Upon hearing the discussion, Joyce approached the staff. Joyce's sudden voice startled them. Upon seeing her, they couldn't tell her apart from Jean. Thus, they lowered their heads, not daring to utter another word. Joyce smiled and spoke in a friendly manner, "What's the matter with you all? I won't bite. I'm just curious about your discussion." Upon noticing Joyce's demeanor, tone, and distinctive smile, the staff finally recognized her."Ms. Michaels, our apologies. We were just having a casual chat." Then, they added, "Mr. Larson has left." Upon hearing about Tyler's departure, Joyce checked her phone in confusion. "He's left? That's very rare for him to get off work so early." Tyler rarely left the company thi
