Esme was visibly annoyed when she heard Robin try to intimidate her by mentioning Tyler.

"Don't bring Tyler into this. If Tyler truly cares that much about Jean, why isn't he here for the wedding today?" she retorted.

Esme felt resentful.

No matter what the case was, Robin was just Tyler's secretary.

It irked Esme that a mere secretary was trying to intimidate her. She started to vent out her pent-up anger.

"You're just abusing the use of Tyler's name at this point," she mocked.

Robin frowned at that.

Jean knew that Esme would definitely take this opportunity to humiliate her.

She hadn't wanted to engage with Esme. However, upon witnessing how arrogant the woman was acting at this moment, she couldn't help but speak up.

She said, "Esme, Tyler might not be here today, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm still his wife. We got married legally over half a month ago. The wedding today is just a formality."

Esme frowned at that, then shot Jean a sarcastic smile.

    Jean was taken aback for a moment. Suddenly, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.She had always believed that she had to walk this path alone with no one by her side.She even thought that Timothy and Dorothy had only come to persuade her to leave.After all, her current insistence on waiting for Tyler was incredibly humiliating.Timothy was a man who valued his pride greatly.Jean had even prepared herself to hear the man express his disapproval in many ways. She didn't expect Timothy to say what he did."Dad, you guys should really leave."Jean couldn't remember the last time she had called Timothy "Dad". Even when the Michaels filed for bankruptcy, she had deliberately distanced herself from them and remained aloof.Her indifference was what she used to retaliate against Timothy's impassive behavior toward her in the past.When Timothy heard Jean call him "Dad", it felt a little bittersweet."Jean, we won't leave."Jean pursed her lips and wiped away her tears

    "If you want to have a laugh, you should drop by as soon as you can. Otherwise, she might leave soon," Esme said.Then, she quickly hung up the call after feeling her lips tingle with pain.It was fortunate that she didn't have to worry about work anymore. Otherwise, showing up with scratches and bruises would only embarrass her.Dealing with someone as shrewish as Dorothy was an impossible feat.Seeing that Esme had ended the call, Lilian left Page Co.She went straight to Larson Residence, but Tyler was nowhere in sight.The gates of Larson Residence were locked shut, indicating that they were not receiving any visitors.Many guests had been turned away by the Larsons. Even close associates had been bombarding them with phone calls to ask about what happened.Not even the family's household staff was spared.At noon, Jean finally got off the stage feeling both physically and emotionally drained.It was already past 12. It was clear that Tyler wouldn't come.At this moment,

    It was precisely because of that that Lilian saw hope for herself.Lilian watched as the workers dismantled the wedding platform. The flowers that had adorned them were divided among the workers.As the workers carried the flowers away, one flower fell in front of Lilian.The flower was in full bloom. However, no one was around to appreciate its beauty on a day like this.In many ways, Jean resembled the flower. Even though Jean had waited around in her luxurious wedding gown, all dolled-up, her groom wasn't around to appreciate her beauty.Lilian took a step forward and crushed the flower under her foot.When she saw the flower crumple up, she couldn't help but smile in satisfaction. Then, she spun on her heel and left.In Teak Villa, Jean sat on the couch in her wedding dress. Only a maid remained by her side to attend to her needs."Madam, would you like to change out of your wedding dress?" the maid asked.Jean lifted her head slightly. Taking a deep breath, she said, "Jus

    Jean woke up the next morning. After she got ready, she went downstairs.She hadn't slept well the night before. In her dreams, she saw Tyler return. However, when she woke up, there was no sign of him by her side.As she made her way downstairs, a maid heard her and came out immediately.She smiled and said, "Madam, breakfast is ready."When the maid saw that Jean had makeup on her face, she asked, "Madam, are you planning to go out?"Nodding, Jean said softly, "I realized that I haven't been to my studio for a long while now. Since I'm the only one managing it, I figured I should check on it."The maid noticed that Jean's mood appeared quite normal. She acted the same as she did before.The maid heaved a sigh of relief and suggested, "That's a good idea, Madam. Please have some breakfast before you leave."Jean nodded, then proceeded to the dining room.In the past, the dining room at Teak Villa was always bustling with life.Tyler and Dorian were always around.At this mo

    Chris maintained a polite demeanor while addressing Jean.At that moment, Jean turned her gaze toward him. She took a deep breath and asked calmly, "When will he be back here?"Her tone was exceptionally composed. She did not sound emotional at all.Chris replied in a respectful manner, "Mr. Larson has gone overseas to help with the establishment of a new company. It may take about six months for him to return. Madam, you don't need to come here during this time. I'll be sure to notify you right away once he returns."Jean furrowed her brows slightly, feeling uneasy."Very well, Chris. I've always trusted you. I hope you're not deceiving me this time," she said in a subdued tone.Nodding, Chris replied, "Thank you for trusting me, Ms. Michaels. I'll be sure to keep my word."After receiving Chris' reassurance, she slowly got up from the couch and walked away from Larson Group.Onlookers noticed that Chris remained polite and respectful toward Jean. It appeared that she still he

    Jean listened impassively to Lilian's words, her face showing no signs of emotion.She glanced down at the documents on her lap and picked them up. Then, she threw them out of the window."You don't need to thank me," Jean said in a flat tone.She did not react at all as the papers scattered on the ground.Seeing Jean's unimpressed attitude and lack of response, Lilian smiled gently. She stooped down to pick up all the papers.Lilian said, "I know. Though everything was orchestrated by Tyler, you played a huge part in it as well."She added with a sweet smile, "I know Tyler has wanted me to take up this position for a long time now, but he couldn't find a proper excuse. Fortunately, Esme poisoning you provided a perfect pretext. Otherwise, I don't think I would've been able to come back to Henkel so soon."Jean remained expressionless.Lilian continued, "In reality, my trip abroad was just a ruse. Tyler's an exceptionally capable person, after all. Everything went according to

    Lilian tightened her fists and was about to say something. However, Jean immediately started her car and drove into Teak Villa before she could.Lilian watched Jean remain calm and composed throughout the entire interaction. Her expression had not shifted due to her words. It filled Lilian with frustration.It seemed that she knew too little about Jean. She had thought her words would surely get Jean upset over Tyler.Lilian had also inquired about Tyler's situation from Larson Group's legal department.She heard that Tyler was in the process of drafting a divorce agreement with Jean and that Anthony had already sent the agreement to Jean, but Jean had yet to sign it.That was the reason Lilian had come to Teak Villa. She hoped that by adding fuel to the fire, it would have an effect on Jean.However, she didn't expect Jean to completely ignore her words.Lilian had rarely experienced such humiliation over the years.She took a deep breath to calm herself down. Then, she shot a

    The maid lowered her head upon hearing Jean's request."Although I've worked at Larson Residence for many years, I came to work here about a month ago. That's why I'm not very familiar with what's happening over there now," the maid said.She continued, "Madam, when we started working at Larson Residence, all of us signed confidentiality agreements. Even if I try to ask about what's happening, my colleagues might not tell me the whole truth."Jean nodded in agreement. "You're right. You guys wouldn't casually spread your employer's private matters to others. I apologize for putting you in a difficult position."The maid pursed her lips and replied in a low voice, "But I do think that it's a bit strange. Madam, you're so well-liked by Mrs. Larson, and Mr. Larson canceled the wedding rather abruptly. "Logically speaking, Mrs. Larson and Madam Judy should've come to visit you by now, but they haven't."She added, "Maybe something happened with the Larsons."Jean took a deep breath

After spending some time with Lukas, Jenny felt that Lukas' heart no longer belonged to her.Once Conner and Robin were done packing up Alina's belongings at the hospital, they made their way to Robin's car. 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

However, Terence did not answer.Tyler had to call Wilson to inform Terence of what had happened.Only a handful of relatives and friends attended the funeral to pay their respects to Alina.With Jean and Tyler's help, Alina's funeral wasn't much trouble to set up.Terence received the news of Alina's death in the afternoon.

    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. Her heart quivered in fear for a moment.She suddenly felt insecure.Robin hummed in acknowledgment and asked, "Is Ms. Blake not doing well?"Robi

    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
