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
Esme had a fierce grip around Jean in the water.Esme couldn't swim, so when she fell into the water, she instinctively grabbed onto Jean tightly. She also hoped that doing so would drown the bitch.Even though her life was also at stake, Esme was determined to kill Jean.Jean could swim, but her movements were restricted by Esme's firm grip. She couldn't break free.Everyone on the shore was incredibly shocked by Esme's frantic movements. They never expected her to behave this way.When the women brought the kayak to a stop in the center of the lake, Tyler and Chris had already started paddling over on another kayak.When Esme made the first move, Tyler jumped into the water immediately.Esme clung tightly to Jean. When Tyler swam over to separate them, he found that Esme had a tight grip around Jean's neck.Tyler's expression darkened upon seeing that. He kicked Esme hard and pushed her away. Then, he dragged Jean with him back to shore.Once they reached the shore, Jean too
Esme nodded immediately."That's right," she said.Her teeth were clenched tightly, and only the bottle of water she had earlier could prove her innocence.Grabbing Tyler's arm, Esme hurriedly explained, "Tyler, the bottle of water I drank from just now is still in my backpack. Please have someone get it for testing. The results will prove that I'm telling the truth."She continued, "I honestly don't know why Jean is so mean to me. I only had a conflict with her out of desperation."She had a pleading look on her face.At this moment, Chris stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Ms. Page, we've retrieved all your belongings. Since you claim that Ms. Michaels drugged you, please come with me for a medical examination and blood test. I'll have the water examined as well."Esme breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. She looked deeply into Tyler's eyes and whispered, "Tyler, you have to believe me."Tyler gave Esme a cold, sweeping glance before saying in a stern tone, "I
Coleen's tone was filled with anger as she accused Esme.Esme couldn't even get a single word out.No one present dared to plead Esme's case. After all, everyone had witnessed what had happened. They watched Esme suddenly lunge at Jean and push her into the water. Even when both women were underwater, Esme didn't let go of her grip on Jean's neck. It looked as if she was trying to murder Jean.Esme took a deep breath. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she said, "Aunt Coleen, I'm really sorry. I …"Before she could finish, Coleen interrupted her sternly, "I will never forgive you for this. Get the hell out of here."Taking a deep breath, Esme turned to leave. At that moment, law enforcement officers walked in and said in a stern tone, "Someone filed a report against Ms. Esme Page for assault. Miss, please come with us."Esme's face turned pale. She immediately turned to look at Coleen."Aunt Coleen, please help me."Coleen remained impassive and shifted her gaze elsewhere.Esme
Esme was taken away by the officers with a dark expression on her face.Even so, she had no plans on giving up. She refused to give up.Jean was pushed into a hospital ward by the medical staff.Coleen sat by her side and comforted her, saying, "When a woman's pregnant, it's not possible for everything to go smooth sailing. There'll definitely be some problems that come along. Some are bigger than others."She continued, "To be honest with you, Tyler isn't my first child. Before him, I had another daughter. But she had an unfortunate fate and passed away at a very young age. "Jean, I hope you can remain positive even after what happened. Dorian's still young. You still have him, don't you?"Jean nodded. She looked at Coleen, who was trying her best to comfort her. Coleen had tears in her eyes as well, and it was clear that she felt horrible too.Reaching out, Jean held Coleen's hand."Mom, let the past stay in the past, alright? Don't be too sad," she said softly.Coleen nodd
Jean spent three days in the hospital before being discharged.Within this period, Esme was released on bail.When Jean learned of this from Tyler, her expression shifted."Why could she be bailed out?" she asked.Sighing, Tyler looked at Jean deeply. He explained, "Because if we pressed charges, medical professionals would have to reexamine your body. If that happened, everyone would know that you had actually miscarried earlier."Esme's actions this time round aren't enough to warrant jail time. But you, on the other hand, could end up in jail for falsifying evidence."Jean froze when she heard that. She paled instantly and said, "Tyler … I know she's the one behind it. Please believe me. I'm certain that it's all her doing."Jean's emotions were running high. Just the thought of Esme escaping punishment frustrated her. She wasn't able to avenge her unborn child.Tyler held Jean in his arms and said in a calm tone, "Jean, don't panic. We'll find the evidence eventually."Tak
Jean's speculations turned out to be spot on.After Lilian took over Page Co., the negative news surrounding the company immediately saw a huge decrease.As Jean observed the change, her demeanor grew more subdued.When Dorian returned from school, Jean went to spend some time with him in the backyard.Dorian was practicing soccer. However, due to recent events, he had to be more cautious.After going through all the moves and tricks his coach had taught him, he asked Jean a question.Dorian began cautiously, "Mom, I have a question, but I'm not sure if I should ask you about it."When Jean heard her son's words, she forced a gentle smile on her face and replied softly, "You can ask me anything."Upon hearing this, Dorian bit his lip lightly and walked over to Jean. He held her hand and whispered, "Mom, is there really no baby in your belly anymore?"Jean hesitated for a moment.It was evident that Dorian had heard something from the household staff recently.Biting her lip,
