After dropping Dorian off at school, Jean returned to Teak Villa.As soon as she entered the courtyard, a maid hurried over and whispered in Jean's ear, "Madam Jean, Mr. Larson is here."Jean was taken aback by the news. For some unknown reason, she felt a bit nervous.When she walked through the door, she saw Tyler sitting on the couch with a document placed in front of him. Her initial anxiety quickly subsided.Tyler had probably come to talk about the divorce.Jean walked in with an expressionless face.When Tyler saw that she had returned, he asked in a low voice, "Where did you go?"Jean took a seat opposite him and answered indifferently, "I sent Dorian to school."Tyler's eyes brightened slightly. His expression remained mostly unchanged as he pushed the document on the desk toward Jean."I acquired the previously drafted divorce agreement from Anthony. I've made some changes to the terms and conditions. Dorian's custody will ultimately belong to me. I can offer you mor
Tyler listened as Jean spoke. He squinted his eyes slightly, fixing his gaze intently on her."Are you suggesting that you want to take this to court?" he asked.Jean remained calm, her gaze cool."Yes," she replied in an impassive tone.She continued, "Dorian has grown up now. He can make his own decision about who he wants to stay with. If he chooses you, then so be it."Jean paused for a moment, her gaze piercing as she glared at Tyler."You may have forgotten, but before you underwent surgery, you promised to return Dorian to me. You were the one who stole him from me in the first place, after all. Giving him back to me now shouldn't be an issue," she said.She added, "If you want to take this to court, I'll do it."Jean's gaze remained extremely calm. She showed no signs of cowering.Tyler's expression darkened even further. The darkness in his eyes seemed intent on devouring Jean whole.Jean smiled faintly and glanced at the time."It's getting late. I have other matte
One of the studio employees noticed that Jean's expression remained indifferent and spoke up. "Ms. Michaels, the news has already spread online. A journalist friend of mine sent me a message about it. You can take a look."Jean nodded. The employee quickly forwarded the information she had to Jean.Jean's expression shifted as she read the news.The plot of The Secret itself was not accused of plagiarization. However, the filming techniques and cinematography appeared to resemble the ones from a television series that aired many years ago.Jean furrowed her brows and watched the old TV series in question to review it.To her surprise, she found that the director of that TV series was Tristan.That TV series hadn't made much of a splash when it initially aired.The Secret had just begun to air, but it had gained popularity due to how famous the comic it was based on was.After the accusations Page Co. made, The Secret was immediately put in the limelight.Jean sighed, her gaze
Tristan delivered his speech nonchalantly, as if he thought his actions were perfectly justified. However, Jean couldn't help but find it ridiculous."Even if you clear things up later, I'll still be burdened with the accusation of plagiarism," Jean responded indifferently."Tristan, we've known each other for years. Have you really not considered the consequences?" she added.Tristan remained silent.Jean maintained her composure and continued, "I'll transfer the shares of the studio into cash for you. I'll do the same with Simone's share. I hope you'll withdraw the lawsuit immediately and issue a public apology. Otherwise, I'll sue you for defamation."Then, Jean hung up the call.One of Jean's employees witnessed how assertive Jean was while in conversation and was momentarily stunned.All of them knew that Jean had always been ignorant of the studio's operations. She usually relied on people like Tristan to manage the studio.When Jean saw that her employees looked at a los
"Don't worry, I won't be swayed so easily."The Secret was doing well in terms of popularity.All Tristan wanted was for people to know that he was the one who directed it.Lilian smiled softly at Tristan. "I never doubted you, Tristan. Although you were brought in by Esme, as long as you can benefit Page Co., I believe that you'll be on the same level as Emmett."Tristan was nonchalant as he said, "I hope that we'll be able to work well together."Lilian nodded. "Of course."Jean was definitely on the verge of a breakdown. She had to deal with divorcing Tyler and work at the same time.Based on her abilities, she would not be able to handle this well.Lilian's eyes were full of certainty.Tyler's attitude toward Jean had changed a lot after the surgery. She had to seize her chance.In Larson Group, when Chris saw the news about Jean online, he went immediately to Tyler's office.Tyler was currently facing the floor-length windows and on a call with someone.He was talking
Ms. Walker?It was probably Simone.Jean sighed. She didn't expect that Simone would be by her side helping her.Simone was on pretty good terms with Tristan.Jean exited the texting app with the reporter and went to find Simone's social media account. She typed, "Thank you."After that, she deleted it immediately.Hesitation flashed across her face. In the end, she called her.After all, they had been best friends for so many years.Jean couldn't bear to let it go just yet.It took Simone a long time to pick up.Jean pursed her lips and asked, "How are you doing?""How are you doing?" Simone said at the same time.Jean couldn't help smiling when she heard that. She said softly, "I'm fine. Nothing big. What about you?"The last time Jean heard about Simone was through Alison.Simone took a deep breath. "I'm fine too."Pursing her red lips, Jean asked, "When are you coming back? You're not refusing to come back because of me, are you?"Smiling, Simone said, "How could th
Jean stared at the post. She looked at the text and realized that this was likely from Larson Group. Her expression shifted.Didn't Tyler say he wanted to divorce her this morning?Logically speaking, he wouldn't be helping her.Without his permission, Larson Group's PR team would never do such a thing so easily.Jean looked at the post with conflicting emotions.Meanwhile, in Larson Group, the recording between Jean and Tristan was playing on Tyler's computer.Tristan would never expect that just a few words of his could turn the tables.He would never think that Jean had set up a recording beforehand.Tyler looked at the comments, which were constantly updated. The people who had not taken sides before were now cursing Tristan.The comic fans of The Secret led the army.Their favorite comic had been plagiarized, and that was unforgivable.Jean had turned the tide all by herself.Tyler looked at the trending searches expressionlessly before closing the webpage.Chris walk
Jean raised her head, meeting his piercing gaze.She was stunned.Tyler did not look the least bit guilty. In fact, he looked a little annoyed.She couldn't help taking a deep breath.She'd never seen that look in his eyes since she returned to the country.Tyler would not treat her like this if he hadn't lost his memories.But why did he want to help her?She took a deep breath, saying, "Because this question affects my decision regarding my parenting rights over Dorian."Tyler's eyes darkened."So if I say that my memories aren't gone, you'll give up Dorian Larson's custody?"Dorian Larson.Tyler had called him by his full name.Jean's heart sunk to the bottom of her stomach.She had a whole explanation prepared, but she didn't know how to say it now.She'd prepared so many things to say.She wanted to tell him why she saved Emmett. She didn't want to feel guilty around Emmett for the rest of her life.She just wanted to live a happy and secure life in the family that
