It was unexpected to Jean that Joyce didn't request anything.

Joyce had always been someone who would make the most out of every situation.

She would have requested what she wanted at times like this.

Tyler noticed her confusion and said calmly, "Chris was the one handling this matter. I didn't meet her. Jean, do you refuse to believe me over something like this?"

Jean regained her senses and saw how badly he wanted to prove himself. "I didn't mean it that way."

He secretly sighed in relief. Holding her hand, he said in a lowered voice, "I've spread the news about your pregnancy. Grandma and Mom may visit you today. Get ready."

Jean nodded. She felt a headache coming when she thought about Judy and Coleen, especially Coleen and her arrogant ways. Jean thought she wouldn't be able to cope.

She returned to Aquaria Villa with Tyler accompanying her.

Mrs. Vale was detained, so the only people in the villa were the household staff from Teak Villa.

They were very respectful when the

    After Jean heard Coleen's words, she was deeply touched.She stared at the older woman meaningfully, then replied while biting her lip, "Thank you."Sighing, Coleen said, "Take good care of yourself. Your grandma and I came to visit you. You don't have to feel uneasy. I'm not going to bite."Jean pursed her lips.Coleen had never been known for her good temper, after all. Although Coleen might've looked down on her during the three years she had spent at Larson Residence, the older woman never really went out of her way to make things difficult for her. The divorce agreement was the only exception.Coleen was only furious at her that one time because Jean had cooperated with Tyler to get her blood drawn for Lilian.Now that both Coleen and Judy were here to visit her, Jean couldn't help but feel touched.However, she felt a deep sense of disappointment after the feeling passed.If the baby in her womb had still been alive, it would've been eagerly anticipated and welcomed into

    As the maid spoke, she cast a wary glance at Jean.Before Jean could even respond, the maid quickly added, "Madam, Mrs. Larson has stated that you're allowed to refuse anyone you don't want to see from visiting the villa."After Jean heard that, she looked over at Tyler.The man's expression remained cold and inscrutable. Jean couldn't discern his current mood.Pursing her lips, she shifted her gaze away from him. "All guests should be welcome," she said to the maid quietly.When Tyler broke the news to the public, the first person Jean expected to pay her a visit was Esme. She hadn't expected the woman to hold out for so long before finally paying her a visit.Esme walked into the villa with a smile. When she saw that Jean and Tyler were still eating, she asked, "Why are you guys having dinner so late? I was waiting for you outside."Jean wiped her mouth with a napkin and gazed calmly at Esme. "Ms. Page, have you eaten yet? You're welcome to join us if you haven't," she said so

    "Tyler, of course, I've finished all my work before coming here," Esme said in an aggrieved and strongly dissatisfied tone.Tyler looked at her with an indifferent expression before helping Jean to sit on the couch.After Jean sat down, she noticed that Esme was still glaring at her with resentment. Jean's gaze was calm as she reached out to tug on Tyler's hand."Tyler, I'd like to have some fruit. Can you peel me an apple, please?" she asked.Once Tyler heard her, he hurriedly went to do as asked.Esme furrowed her brows slightly. She glanced at Tyler for a moment before taking a seat next to Jean."Ms. Michaels, being pregnant must be exhausting, huh? I'm old enough now to start my own family too. I'm planning to marry and have kids soon. Do you have any tips for me?" she asked with a smile.Pursing her lips, Jean replied, "Being pregnant isn't too bad, but it varies from person to person. Some women may experience more severe symptoms during pregnancy like nausea and vomiting

    Esme remained silent. She seemed unsure of how to keep a conversation going with Jean.Under normal circumstances, anyone would inquire more about the issue with the housekeeper Jean had brought up.However, Esme didn't bring it up at all and didn't even seem curious about it.Jean's face gradually darkened as realization set in.Tyler came downstairs with her coat at this moment.Esme rose from the sofa, saying softly, "It's getting late. I should head back now."She added, "Oh, Ms. Michaels, I bought some supplements for you. They're nothing too fancy, so I hope you won't mind too much."Nodding, Jean looked at the gift box placed on the table. Her gaze was calm."In that case, drive safe. You may see yourself out."Esme nodded. As she was leaving, she glanced at Tyler who was walking down the stairs with Jean's coat. She took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "I'll be taking my leave now, Tyler."Tyler nodded and watched impassively as Esme left.After Esme was gon

    After getting Jean's reply, the maid nodded and went to escort Timothy and Dorothy out."Sorry, but Madam doesn't wish to see either of you," the maid said, urging them to leave.When Dorothy heard that Jean refused to see them, she gritted her teeth in frustration. Her expression turned sour as she spoke with a stern tone, "Why wouldn't she want to see us? We're her parents!"Dorothy was furious. They hadn't come to visit Jean with any ulterior motives, after all. They simply heard about her pregnancy and wanted to bring her some gifts to congratulate her. They didn't expect Jean to be so unappreciative of their efforts.When Timothy realized how angry Dorothy was, he frowned and expressed his dissatisfaction with her. "What are you yelling for? If Jean doesn't want to see us, let's just end it at that. "Don't make a scene here. You'll only embarrass yourself."After that, he sneered and turned away to leave. Dorothy was still unhappy. She shot a disapproving look at the ma

    Tristan focused his gaze on Jean and understood instantly that his friend didn't trust Tyler enough. That was why she was asking him for help instead.Nodding, he said, "Alright. Leave it to me."With a grateful look on her face, she quickly replied, "Thank you, Tristan. I'll treat you to a meal once I'm feeling better."Tristan smiled and said, "Just focus on recovering."Jean smiled back at him faintly.After that, he left Aquaria Villa and returned to his studio.He sat in his office with the voice recorder in hand. Then, he played the recordings.The recordings featured conversations between Jean and Esme. When Tristan heard Esme's voice, his expression darkened. He couldn't help but cast another glance at the contract on his desk.Page Co. had plans to establish a film and television company. They wanted to name him as one of the founders.Due to the recent events involving Lilian, it was clear that Lilian was no longer a suitable figurehead to appear in the public eye.

    Jean tightened her grip around the phone. She didn't reply to Tristan.Was it not? Did she make a mistake? She bit her own lip with a serious expression.Tristan remained quiet for a while and spoke up when he heard no reply from Jean. "Jean, do you have other evidence to prove that it's Ms. Page behind it?"Taking a deep breath, Jean said quietly, "No, I don't have other evidence."As she spoke, she bit the corner of her lips. "It's just my suspicion."Her instincts told her that it must be Esme Page. The mastermind must be Esme Page.Tristan sighed when he heard Jean's reply. "Jean, it's very difficult to convict Ms. Page without any tangible evidence. It wouldn't be possible even if you had Mrs. Vale as your witness."Jean took a deep breath. She knew it'd be impossible to convict Esme in the end. However, if it was Esme, Jean would think of other ways to handle the matter. She didn't think that Mrs. Vale would say it wasn't Esme.Biting the corner of her lips tightly, she a

    Tyler looked at Jean with his deep set eyes. He said with a concerned expression when she didn't answer him, "If you're feeling sick, I'll send you to the hospital."Shaking her head, she whispered, "Did you find anything?"Tyler's hands stopped moving. He looked at Jean as he replied softly, "Mrs. Vale has already confessed to the crime."Jean was stunned, looking confused. "Didn't she insist that she was just following the orders of another person? Why would she suddenly confess?"Frowning, he said quietly, "She said she imagined it."Jean paused and shook her head. "That's impossible."He sighed. He held her hands tightly when he saw the stern expression on her face. "I know it's impossible for you to let go of this easily. "The most important thing for you right now is to take good care of yourself. I will keep investigating."Jean looked at Tyler, took a deep breath, and asked, "If you keep investigating, will you be able to convict the culprit?"Tyler didn't know how to

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

    Robin's call managed to go through, but no one answered her call even after a long while.Robin gradually tightened the grip she had on her phone. 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. He turned the engine on and drove off to the hospital to visit Monica.  Robin stood in the cor
