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
Jean tightened the grip on her phone upon hearing what Coleen said. She couldn't help but suck in a deep breath."So … he doesn't remember me?" Jean asked with trembling lips.Coleen took a deep breath. "The doctors did say that it was a possibility. Jean, if you have any questions, I'll answer them when I return the Henkel, okay? Please don't disturb Tyler while he's recuperating now. I'm worried about his postoperative recovery."Jean bit her lip tightly, looking very distressed. She agreed reluctantly. "Alright, Mom. I'll wait for you to get back."Coleen's spirits were low on the other end of the line. She made a noise of assent before hanging up.Jean stared at her phone with an expression of mixed relief and grief. She was relieved that Tyler was safe but also sad because of his memory loss.Tyler couldn't remember her at all. Coleen returned to the ward with Tyler's phone and saw that her son was looking out the window with a hint of nervousness in his eyes."Tyler, the d
Dorian nodded earnestly when he heard Judy ask him that. "Yes, I can go back to Mom."Judy felt relieved when she heard his response. She had already understood the message Coleen meant to convey through the phone.She looked at Dorian and said softly, "Dorian, your dad doesn't remember you and your mom anymore. So to prevent your mom from getting sad, we're going to send you back to her."She continued, "Remember what he said to you before he went into the operating room? He told you to take care of Mom, right?"Upon hearing that his father no longer remembered him and Jean, Dorian had tears streaming down his face."I remember what Dad told me. Great Grandma, I'll make sure to do what he asked," he said.Judy couldn't help but feel heartbroken as she watched Dorian cry and respond so sensibly.No one knew what kind of curse the Larsons had been inflicted with. Over the years, all the men in the family passed away at a young age.Judy trembled as she hugged Dorian. She couldn'
Dorian returned to Jean's side, and life went on like how it used to. Everything was orderly, mostly unchanged.The only thing missing was Tyler's presence.After sending Dorian to School one day, Jean returned to Teak Villa and planned to head to the study to work on her drawings.At this moment, Albert approached her and said in a low voice, "Madam, I may need to leave now," he said.Jean paused upon hearing this.It had been nearly half a month since Dorian returned to Teak Villa.In fact, Albert's contract had expired about a week ago.However, he extended his stay by an additional week out of concern for Dorian. He was worried that the boy might have trouble adjusting to Tyler's absence.Seeing that Dorian had adapted relatively well, Albert decided that it was time for him to leave.Upon hearing that, Jean pursed her lips and asked softly, "Can't you stay a little while longer?"Albert replied, "Madam, I've already packed all my belongings. My son will come to pick me u
Jean snapped back to her senses when she heard Dorian's voice. Looking at him, she asked softly, "Dorian, didn't you see your dad?"Dorian pursed his lips with a nod. "Yes, I did. Dad hasn't fully recovered, yet he's going back to work so soon. He's probably really busy."As he spoke, Dorian's expression turned solemn. He continued in a stern voice, "Dad works too hard. I need to grow up as fast as possible and be strong to help him."Jean was moved by Dorian's words. "Yes, Dorian. You're such a good boy."Jean noticed that Dorian did not seem overly emotional. It was clear that he had come to terms with the fact that Tyler had forgotten him.On the other hand, Jean kept thinking that she was still living in a nightmare.Sucking in a breath, she said, "Alright, let's go home."Nodding, Dorian held Jean's hand as they left.…Tyler couldn't stop his heart from racing when he first spotted Jean.He had returned to Henkel last night.This morning, Jean had left early to send Do
Chris felt guilty after replying to Jean. However, Tyler, who was next to him, had instructed him to say so.Jean remained silent for a while, then asked softly, "So he's forgotten about me and Dorian, then. Are his memories from the last five years gone? Or could it be more than that?"Chris hesitated. He honestly didn't know how to answer Jean's question.Tyler gave him a meaningful look, seemingly wanting him to come up with an explanation.Chris took a moment, then said in a low voice, "It's not exactly that simple. We can't say for sure. Mr. Larson's still very clear about the company's current affairs. It's just that it seems like he doesn't have any memories of you and Dorian."Jean sucked in a deep breath upon hearing this.If that were the case, she couldn't test Tyler's memory properly.Rubbing her forehead, she said softly, "I understand. Thanks for letting me know that he's back, Chris."Chris smiled awkwardly. "Ms. Michaels, it's no problem at all. I promised to do
