Alison frowned. Her eyes turned scornful when she heard Jean say that without feeling ill at ease. She said in a lowered tone, "Since it has nothing to do with you, you have no reason to be here."I don't get you, Jean. You're about to marry Mr. Larson. Still, you appear before your ex-boyfriend. By chance, do you enjoy seeing your ex-boyfriend wallowing in grief because of you?"She was extremely hostile toward Jean.If Jean hadn't returned to the country, she and Emmett would already have gotten married.They were in the process of preparing for their wedding. However, Jean returned and pursued a career in this industry. That reminded Emmett of their past, so he returned to her side without hesitation.And it was all because Jean said before that the best director and screenwriter made the best partners.So, when Jean entered this industry and became a screenwriter, Emmett had the impression that she hadn't forgotten about him.It was a promise between them.Alison felt truly
"Don't get mad, Alison. We're out in public. You're a lady with a good upbringing. There's no need to argue with the likes of her," said Esme.She stood beside Alison, feeling like she had finally worked off her anger.Jean had been putting her down so badly recently that she started doubting herself. Now, she felt much better.Lilian merely walked over and calmly glanced at Jean. All she asked was, "Is Emmett still in there?"Nodding, Jane looked very grave. "I have no idea how long he's been in there."Lilian immediately tried to soothe her. "Aunt Jane, don't you worry. The heavens shine on the kind, and Emmett is a kind person. Nothing will happen to him."Jane took a deep breath. Anxiety was written all across her face, and her eyes were red. She said quietly, "Thanks for your kind words. I hope they'll come true."Emmett hasn't been himself recently. It's our fault for not being more mindful of him. That's how this happened. That silly child. I don't know why he can't just
Jean and Tyler were getting married the day after tomorrow.Initially, she did choose to marry him because she wanted to exact revenge on Esme.But it was also because she wanted a home.Dorian was adorable, and the Larsons didn't seem to look down on her as much.She wanted a complete family, for her child to have both a father and a mother.So, it was necessary for her to explain herself.After listening to her, Chris glanced at the light above the operation theater. He said sullenly, "Madam, let's talk about it tomorrow if you have something to say."Jean paused before nodding. "Alright."She sat on the sofa in the living room and waited for Tyler to return. However, he didn't come back that night.Albert and Dorian didn't come back either.The night sky faded into the morning light. She slowly rose from the sofa.The housekeeper was already awake and had started with her tasks. She met Jean in the living room and saw that she was still in her clothes from yesterday. Her
Jean's head felt heavy.She took Dorian's hand and asked gently, "Dorian … aren't you living with me anymore?"Dorian nodded solemnly and hummed in acknowledgment. "I'm not staying with you anymore, Mom. I'll stay here and study."Jean paused before asking, "Is it because Daddy doesn't allow you to stay with me?"Dorian immediately shook his head. "No, it's not. Daddy …"His father had fallen sick. He would have to learn how to manage a company hereafter. The sooner he did, the sooner he could protect his mother.But he had promised Tyler that he wouldn't tell Jean about that.He continued, "Dad asked me to stay here and keep Great Grandma company. Great Grandma is sick. But you can come here every day, Mom. I can spend time with you as long as I'm free."Jean inhaled deeply, feeling dizzy. "I want to meet Madam Judy."Immediately after, she heard Albert's voice coming from behind Dorian. He said with a lowered voice, "Madam Judy is still in the hospital."Jean paused.Alber
Jean looked at Anthony with a disheartened look.Anthony placed all the documents before her and the pen on top. When he heard her question, his movement paused.But then he quickly answered, "Apologies, Ms. Michaels. Mr. Larson is busy with work for now, so I'll be handling trivial matters like this in his place."Taking a deep breath, Jean's expression grew stern. "We're divorcing. How is this trivial? It's not a trivial matter to me."Anthony's expression shifted. Seeing how firm Jean was, he asked, "Is the amount of property you're getting too few? Or is the alimony too little?"He looked dead serious when he asked her those questions. He looked as though he was determined to give her an offer that would satisfy her. He would do anything for her to sign the divorce papers.Jean felt a dull throb in her heart. She could already imagine Tyler's attitude if he were to say this in her face.She insisted, saying, "Mr. Porter, you're not my husband. Regarding the divorce, I'll onl
Chris' expression turned grim after listening to Anthony.Tomorrow, Jean would certainly be disappointed because she would not see Tyler at the wedding venue."Got it," Chris said.Anthony sighed. "There probably won't be any guests at the venue tomorrow. The entertainment reporters may already know about this. They'll surely be there to check things out. "If they see Ms. Michaels alone on the stage, it'll definitely attract public attention."Tyler's condition was now still a secret.Those reporters must never unveil the reason behind the wedding's cancellation.Anthony continued, "Tomorrow, try your best to use only trusted employees who can seal their lips."Chris had been handling the more important matters at Larson Group. He also had to settle such issues. Anthony was worried he would forget, so he couldn't help but remind him."Robin is on it," replied Chris.Anthony hummed in acknowledgment and hung up.…The next morning, the alarm clock went off and woke Jean up.
After Jean was ready, she went downstairs with Mary holding her hand.Downstairs, the other maids stood in a row. They smiled as they looked at her and offered their blessings."Happy wedding, Ms. Michaels.""I wish you all the happiness."She smiled as she listened to them. However, she somehow felt the urge to cry.She was supposed to receive many similar well-wishes today. But now, these were probably the only people who would give her their blessings.Holding back the urge to cry, she smiled. "Thank you."The security guard entered. When he saw that she had come down, he quickly said, "Ms. Michaels, the wedding car is here."Jean nodded. Her expression was unusually calm as she walked out of Teak Villa.She pictured Tyler holding her hand as he led her out or maybe he would carry her out on his back.Merry laughter filled the air.But now, none of that happened. Jean couldn't help but feel disappointed and crestfallen.She held back her tears, but her eyes still reddene
When Jean spoke, she glanced at the clock at the venue. It was already the scheduled time.If they wanted to proceed with the wedding on time, the ceremony should've already begun.However, Jean stood by herself in the center of the stage with tears streaming down her face.She quickly wiped her tears away and straightened her expression. Then, she said softly, "Something important must've come up for him. I'll wait till 12 o'clock."Robin took a deep breath and was momentarily rendered speechless. Eventually, she had a waiter bring Jean a chair and urged her to sit down."Ms. Michaels, please have a seat while you wait." Jean shook her head."That won't be necessary."…When Esme heard about the wedding being canceled, she looked particularly surprised. She had not expected Tyler and Jean's wedding to be canceled.She immediately called Lilian to ask about the situation.Lilian had worked with Tyler for many years, after all.She had many connections with people in Larson
