Jean walked to the entrance of the studio. She breathed a sigh of relief when she found out that Tyler didn't follow her. Still, she felt quite empty on the inside.Soon, she managed to suppress that odd feeling and walk into the studio.The atmosphere in the studio was abnormally boisterous. The moment Jean entered the studio, she saw Dorothy chatting up a storm with the crew members."Jean is perfect, but if you were to ask me, her only flaw is her stubbornness. If she does offend any of you in any way, please don't take her actions to heart."All Jean could feel was a twisted sense of irony as she looked at Dorothy's kind and motherly facade.If she hadn't witnessed Dorothy's antics with her own eyes, she might have believed that Dorothy would do such things for her sake.Everyone turned their attention to Jean when they saw her walking into the studio.Tristan approached her immediately. "Jean, Mrs. Michaels came here early in the morning. She even bought breakfast and fruit
The women's argument was so loud that it attracted everyone's attention from within the studio.Jean was in the midst of preparing for the shoot when a crew member ran over to her side."Ms. Michaels, your mother is arguing with Ms. Wunder right now. Ms. Wunder shoved your mother, and now she's lying on the ground. I think she hurt her hips."Jean frowned immediately while confusion took over her eyes. Still, she rose from her chair and walked out of the studio."What's the matter?"She then noticed Dorothy lying on the ground. Someone had gone over to help her up. She could barely speak a word. Cold sweat kept pooling on her forehead, which meant she was most likely not pretending to be hurt.Jean then turned to look at Cassie.Cassie was intimidated by Jean's sharp gaze. As a result, she took a few steps backward."She was the one who grabbed me first! I was trying to protect myself by yanking my wrist out of her grasp! I didn't expect her to set up such a trap for me!"Jean
Dorothy was hospitalized for the next few days. Yet, Jean never stopped by to visit her.She never turned up on the day of Dorothy's discharge as well.Dorothy was quite pissed off about Jean's absence. Joyce, on the other hand, had turned down numerous performances just to stay with Dorothy. Naturally, her actions touched the older woman.The thing was, Joyce's value was starting to slip. Not only was Joyce forbidden from entering Teak Villa without permission, but Tyler also disliked her.At the end of the day, the Michaels family relied on the Larson family in order to thrive."Joyce, Tyler has been making arrangements for Jean and Dorian to spend more time with each other. We all know what he's planning. Well …"Joyce's expression remained unchanged when she heard Dorothy's concerns. Instead, she just smiled at her."Don't worry, Mom. I'll always be Dorian's mother. By the way, Madam Judy's birthday will be here soon. I plan to travel to Mt. Serenia with her just to keep h
An exasperated Jean stared at the mess on the floor. Suddenly, she regretted letting Tyler do the dishes.After Tyler put away the plate, he crouched down to pick up the pieces.Jean quickly exclaimed, "Wait!"At the same time, she hurried over to Tyler's side. Unfortunately, she was too late.Tyler's fingers, which had made contact with a particularly sharp fragment, started oozing blood immediately. But he didn't seem to have noticed his injury at all.Instead, he raised his head to look at Jean in puzzlement. "What's wrong?"Jean crouched down and removed the fragment from Tyler's hands. After dumping it into the trash can, she grabbed his hand and dragged him to the living room.She grabbed a medical kit and started rummaging through it to look for the disinfectant. A sullen expression was present on her face the whole time.After disinfecting Tyler's injury and bandaging his fingers, Jean ordered, "Sit here and rest. Don't cause any trouble for me."Then, she moved toward
Soon, the news of Tyler getting into an accident was spread throughout the blue-blood society. Those who were affiliated with Tyler, as well as those who wished to suck up to him, rushed over to the hospital just to visit him.Before their arrival, the doctor had already treated Tyler's wounds and moved him into a VIP ward."Mr. Larson suffered from a blow to the head, so he's suffering from a mild concussion as we speak. He doesn't have any injuries elsewhere."Jean nodded in response. Then, she asked the doctor a few more questions before heading into Tyler's ward.He had yet to regain his consciousness. As Jean walked over to his bedside and took in his serene complexion, her eyes darkened even more."It seems that I've dragged you into my own affairs," she said quietly.There was nothing but guilt in her eyes.Since Jean was staying by Tyler's side, Chris decided to leave the ward. The moment he exited, he saw a group of people heading his way. All of them were here to vis
Dorothy drew in a sharp breath when she heard Jean's declaration. At the same time, her expression morphed into one of shock.Jean had never said such things before. The fact that she dared to run her mouth in front of her parents signified that she intended to fight with Joyce over …Over Tyler, of course.Dorothy chewed her bottom lip. She hesitated for a moment before replying, "Jean, I don't want you and Joyce—"Jean glanced at her coolly before interrupting, "The reason why Joyce and I turned out like this is all thanks to you. Parents play a huge role in nurturing the relationships between siblings."Dorothy fell silent upon hearing the reasoning.Meanwhile, Timothy turned to look at Jean. He was about to speak up when she cut him off too."Dad, shut up."A light frown appeared on Timothy's face, but he opted to remain silent.Suddenly, Tyler started showing signs of movement. Jean got up immediately before bending over to look at him."You're awake. Are you feeling alr
Even though Coleen disliked Joyce, she despised Jean even more. After all, Jean was the culprit who tarnished Tyler's reputation.It was safe to say that Coleen looked down on the Michaels twins.Then again, Joyce had already given birth to Tyler's son. As the mother of the next heir after Tyler, Joyce deserved to be respected no matter what.As for Jean, Coleen could care less about preserving her dignity.Seeing as Coleen had already issued the ultimatum, Dorothy approached Jean."Why don't you go home first, Jean? We'll watch over Tyler, so he'll be fine."The look of mockery on Coleen's face intensified even more upon hearing Dorothy's words."Dorothy, you're one hell of a woman, huh? Is this how you deal with the situation after your youngest daughter seduced her ex-brother-in-law?"Dorothy's expression darkened immediately. She looked quite protective of Jean at that moment."Mrs. Larson, Jean never seduced Tyler from the start. Tyler was the one who kept pestering Jean
Delight crossed Joyce's expression in an instant.She thought she had to endure Judy for a long period of time. Never did she expect that she would reap such amazing benefits after traveling to Mt. Serenia with Judy.Even so, Tyler looked extremely reluctant to marry Joyce. Hence, she didn't dare to agree to the marriage.All she could say was, "Grandma, Tyler and I can—""I may not be able to have the final say over your and Tyler's affairs, but I refuse to stand by and watch once Dorian is involved in them," Judy interrupted.Joyce fell silent after that. Judy was adamant to get the final word in.Tyler started speaking from his bed, "But Dorian doesn't want to live with her."Surprised, Joyce could only take a deep breath to calm herself down.Meanwhile, Judy frowned immediately. Even Coleen's expression morphed into one of confusion as she turned to look at her son."What do you mean by that?"It was true that Joyce and Dorian hadn't been close to each other for years. St
