Coleen nodded at Jean's suggestion. She handed the documents to the doctor and said, "Why don't you take a look?"The doctor nodded with a smile. She looked through the report and found that there were no issues. "Everything is alright."Relaxed, Coleen took the documents back. "Thank you, then. We shall leave now."The doctor watched as they left and then immediately called Esme. "Linda, I've seen the pregnant woman you recommended."There aren't any issues with her body. She's healthy in every way."Esme gripped the phone. Her gaze turned cold, but she thanked the doctor gratefully."Thank you so much. I'll treat you to a meal sometime when I'm free."They hung up after a brief exchange.Esme clutched her phone tightly, a cross expression on her face.There was absolutely nothing wrong with Jean.Jean returned to Teak Villa.Coleen went home after sitting in their house for a while. She was smiling all the way back.Jean and Tyler went back to their room. She said in a lo
Esme was looking intently at Jean. She didn't think there was anything wrong with her words at all.But Jean was staring at her intensely while keeping quiet.Esme was stunned to see that Jean was looking at her a little oddly. For some reason, Jean's gaze was piercing."What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"Mockery flashed through Jean's eyes before she said, "Wouldn't you know?"Esme raised her eyebrows.Glancing at her, Jean said, "Are you spying on me?"Esme was stunned. After a while, she smiled and said, "Why would I spy on you?"Jean looked at her with a smile.The smile on Esme's face gradually froze. She came up with an excuse, saying, "I just happened to meet Sydney on the day she came. She said she came to see you after I asked."Esme said all this nonchalantly, without a trace of guilt.After all these years of being the president of Page Co., Esme had learned how to lie with a straight face.When faced with Jean, she looked extra calm.Jean glanc
Since these were people that Coleen trusted, Esme had to explain herself.But Jean looked at Esme pitifully and said, "I've been taking care of myself right here in Teak Villa, Esme. I haven't been anywhere."You came here in anger, but now you're saying that I'm the one who provoked you. I thought you were more rational than this. I didn't think you'd reverse the narrative."Everyone saw how Esme had walked in angrily.That was why they had waited by the door, anxious that something would happen.They knew very well what Esme was like before.Although she'd changed a lot in recent years, she still had a bit of a temper and looked down on the domestic staff."Please let go of our madam's hand, Ms. Page," the maid said boldly.Esme raised her eyebrows slightly. At the thought that these were maids that Coleen had hired, she endured her upset and let go.Retracting her arm, Jean hid behind the maid and took a deep breath. "I know you don't like me, Esme, but I don't understand w
"Don't be afraid of her, Madam.""The child in your belly is the Larsons' grandson. Making you angry and even assaulting you means that she's not even taking the Larsons seriously. Mrs. Larson Senior will not let her go."Jean pursed her lips and looked out the window. "I'm not afraid of her. I just don't want to cause trouble. The Pages and the Larsons can't fight because of this small matter."The maids grew quiet at Jean's words.However, the issue of Esme causing a fuss at Teak Villa still spread to Larson Residence.Coleen and Judy rushed over hurriedly. It hurt them to see Jean on the bed with a pale face."What sort of a curse is this?""Jean was just starting to recover. Now it'll affect her again.""Esme is just too irresponsible."Jean pursed her lips when she heard Judy's words. Smiling, she said, "I'm fine, Grandma. I'm just a little dizzy. It could be because of the anemia. I'll be fine after taking more supplements."I feel terrible for making you come all this
Jean saw how grim Coleen looked and pursed her lips. "Was I wrong to say this to you, Coleen?"Coleen snapped back to her senses and said, "No, Jean. It was right of you to tell me."Glenn's reputation is terrible. It's wrong of Esme to still be involved with him. I'll take charge of this."Biting her lip, Jean said softly, "You don't have to care about how I feel. I wasn't really hurt."It's just that I'm worried there will be other issues arising with Esme and Glenn's sudden close relationship. I'm worried that Glenn will do the same thing he did to Sydney to Esme."Coleen frowned.Judy's expression grew somber as well. "Didn't Esme say that she has a new boyfriend? Could it be Glenn?"Coleen looked grim. After telling Jean to take care of herself, she left.Judy left soon after.At Page Co., Glenn sat opposite Esme in her office with an anxious look. "Ms. Page, what should I do now that Mr. Larson has stopped the project? You said that this show was made for me. Are you g
Esme put on a mask of flattery, but she signaled to Glenn with her eyes to get out.Glenn quickly rushed past Coleen.She said, "Stop right there."Glenn stopped.Turning, Coleen looked at him coldly. "You must be Glenn."He nodded slightly, a friendly smile on his face."You know me, Mrs. Larson. I'm surprised."Coleen looked at him coldly. "Of course, I know you. Everyone in our circle knows what happened at the Elstons' engagement party."Glenn's expression shifted. He couldn't quite hold on to his pride."It's not what you think, Mrs. Larson. It's complicated. I was tricked."Coleen's expression was cold. "I don't care who tricked you. But you'd better not get yourself involved with anyone close to the Larsons."Esme, aren't you afraid that your reputation will be ruined if you mingle with someone like him?"Esme's expression shifted slightly at Coleen's question. She lowered her head, too afraid to speak.Frowning, Glenn stomped away.Esme secretly sighed in relief t
Esme didn't even dare to breathe too loudly.She lowered her head quietly, hating Jean with all her heart.Glenn was definitely a problematic person. Ever since his acts were exposed, he no longer held the image of a gentleman.He shamelessly begged her for her help.She wouldn't even have acknowledged him if it weren't for the fact that Mrs. Vale was still in prison. Glenn had found out that Esme was the one who kept calling her.Sighing, Esme said, "I'll handle this accordingly, Mom. I won't let Glenn affect my reputation."Coleen nodded seriously, then said somberly, "Don't think that I'm being a busybody, Esme. I'm doing this for your own good."If you let Glenn associate himself with you, who else is going to want you? They'll think that you're just like him."Esme nodded lightly. "I know, Mom. I remember everything that you did for me."Coleen relaxed a bit when she saw how responsible Esme looked. "Good. You still have to apologize to Jean in case things get awkward the
Tristan looked at Esme, saying nothing for a long time.Esme smiled lightly. "It's okay if you don't want to say it. But we're both the same now, Tristan."We work together now. You've already come to my side. Jean definitely already knows about it, so you have nowhere to go."Tristan sharpened his gaze.Seeing him like that, Esme smiled a little and then said, "You may go down. I need some time alone."Tristan nodded.Alone in the office, Esme's expression turned cold.Jean was obviously already suspecting her.She could only blame herself for pulling Tristan into her company and making Glenn's comeback too obvious.She didn't expect that Jean would let Mrs. Vale listen to the recording. After that, Mrs. Vale recognized her voice and told Glenn everything.Esme could deny it blatantly, and there was no proof to be found from Mrs. Vale. However, it would spell trouble for Esme if Tyler dug deeper and found just one thread connecting her to everything.Esme bit her lip lightl
