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
"Book me a flight ticket back."Joy was written on Esme's face. She'd achieved her goal."Alright. I'll get you a flight back at once. This way, you might still be able to attend Tyler and Jean's wedding."With that, Esme hung up.Lilian's emotions were thoroughly affected by Esme's last words.In Teak Villa, the maid went upstairs to get Jean to eat. Jean put down the pencil in her hands and went downstairs.She passed Tyler's study while going down. She saw him sitting on his chair, looking intently at his computer screen. He looked focused, like there was something troubling him.Jean walked over, but he did not even notice.She went to his side and saw that it was an email.It was a resignation letter from Lilian Page.Seeing her name, Jean's gaze shifted. But she calmed herself down quickly and looked at Tyler, saying, "You can settle this after eating."Tyler raised his head at her voice and finally noticed her.Jean pursed her red lips. She felt dejected when she saw
Tyler looked at the calm look on Jean's face. He was worried that if he brought up Lilian, he would anger her. Thus, he said, "No."It was rare for Tyler to be so careful.It was because he cared too much. That was why he had to do everything warily.Jean saw that Tyler did not intend to talk to her about Lilian and nodded. "I've already eaten. You can eat by yourself."Dorian put down his utensils and looked at Jean, saying, "I'm done too, Mom. I want to play ball in the backyard. Can you play with me?"Nodding, Jean went with him to the backyard.Tyler looked at them leaving and sighed. He felt a headache incoming.Jean played ball with Dorian in the backyard.The maids watched from the side.When Dorian kicked the ball, Jean didn't manage to catch it. The ball hit her straight in the belly."Dorian!"Once the ball fell from Jean's belly, a voice sounded. "You rascal! Your mother has a baby in her belly. How could you do that?"Coleen rushed over anxiously.Dorian was fr
Coleen tugged at Dorian's hand with a smile as she said, "Look at you. Your eyes are all puffy, like a goldfish."Don't cry like this anymore. You're a boy. Even if you're criticized, you can't cry. You have to defend yourself."Dorian nodded obediently.Smiling, Jean shifted her gaze toward Esme.Esme was holding a gift box in her hands. When she saw Jean looking at her, she gritted her teeth quietly and forced out a smile. "I came here to apologize, Jean."I was too rash, and I caused a conflict. I hope you'll forgive me."Jean looked at the gift box that Esme gave her and smiled. "You don't have to be so polite. I don't care about what happened at all."She looked at the maid next to her, who immediately understood what she meant. The maid took Esme's gift box from her.Esme looked unhappy when Jean got the maid to take the gift box.Jean looked at Coleen and said, "Dorian is clinging to you, Mom. Can you take him to the bathroom to wash his face? It's all splotchy."Colee
Page Co. and Larson Group would hold a meeting together once a year. It involved their superiors and high-level management.The employees of higher position in Page Co. were mostly the people that Tyler had sent over from Larson Group to help Esme revamp the company.That was why Page Co. and Larson Group could work together so closely without any problems.Early in the morning, Tyler waited for Jean downstairs.Jean went downstairs, and he brought her along.At first, she wanted to decline. But when she heard that it was held together with Page Co., she immediately grew interested. However, she did not agree to it at once."If I go, I might affect everyone's mood."Tyler was serious. He pulled at her hand and said, "They're all high-level employees from Larson Group. You're my wife. They must get to know you."Pursing her lips, Jean said in a low voice, "It doesn't matter if they know me. But where will it be held? Maybe I could take my mind off things by going."Tyler sighed
Jean now could attract everyone's attention. People would not be able to resist looking at her and only her.Tyler went to her side and stopped.He was wearing a leisurely but sporty outfit. Jean was too.The moment he came over, someone said, "Mr. and Mrs. Larson are so lovely together.""They even planned their couple's outfit."Jean looked at Tyler's outfit and then at hers. It was then she realized that they were wearing similar styles. She thought that Tyler had picked this out at random. She didn't expect it to be planned.She felt moved, and there was a smile in her eyes."Mr. Larson wants to go with the times. He has to be a part of the people."She smiled. Tyler rested his gaze on her and put his arm around her shoulder, drawing her closer.Esme came last.When she arrived, Jean had already built rapport with everyone else.Seeing Esme, everyone instinctively glanced at Jean.Jean still had a smile on her face as she greeted Esme. "You're late, Esme."When Esme
Esme wasn't planning to team up with Jean.She just wanted everyone to be wary of her.Esme was unhappy to see that all her employees respected Jean so much.A lot of them had wanted to pair up with Jean. It was only after what she said that no one dared to anymore.No one dared to shoulder the responsibility.What she wasn't expecting was that Jean would not be embarrassed at all. Instead, she wanted to team up with her.Esme couldn't quite refuse her now.On top of that, Tyler was looking at her coldly. She felt uncomfortable.She gnashed her teeth. Jean no longer looked as weak as she had before."Alright, Jean and I will be on the same team. We'll pair up. The other female employees can pair up too."Tyler's gaze darkened as he looked at Jean a little worriedly.Jean had a smile on her face. When she saw Tyler looking at her, she smiled and said, "Nothing will happen with so many people around."Sighing, Tyler said, "Esme, look after your sister-in-law. It doesn't matte
When Esme heard that, her expression shifted. She stopped rowing and looked at Jean."What did you just say?"Jean was still smiling. Looking at Esme calmly, she said, "I said, I just had an abortion done. That's why I'm a little weaker. What's wrong?"Esme was looking intensely at Jean's belly. She had no idea how to describe what she was feeling.Surprise?No.It was shock.She couldn't understand it. The report showed that Jean was in perfect condition.Did that mean that Jean had always been weak?Narrowing her eyes, she looked at Jean. "Why?"Jean said calmly while smiling at her, "There's no one around here, Esme. You don't have to keep up the pretense."You're the one who hired Mrs. Vale, aren't you?"Esme looked at how expressionless Jean was, stunned. She remembered that Jean had a habit of recording people, so she pursed her lips and said, "What are you talking about, Jean? Who's Mrs. Vale?"Jean looked at the innocent look on Esme's face. She looked like she kne
