Dorothy sounded thoroughly upset. She was obviously angry at the way Jean had treated them recently.

Jean stood quietly where she was, not walking any farther.

Timothy said nothing at all.

Right this moment, it seemed Dorothy had an idea. She said at once, "I'll go look for Dorian."

When Timothy heard that, his expression turned dark as he said, "Why would you go look for a kid? He's still young. He doesn't understand adult matters at all."

Dorothy gnashed her teeth. "Dorian might be a child, but he must have a lot of money on him.

"I heard from Joyce that Dorian has a personal bank account. It's the money that Madam Judy and Coleen have given him. There are eight figures in that account."

Jean's expression darkened at once. Just when she was about to walk in, she heard Timothy roar, "Dorothy Smith, you're just like that useless bastard! You've got your eyes set on even a child's money. If you dare to put away your pride and talk to Dorian, you'll only be embarrassing yourself."

    Dorothy did not hold back when speaking to Jean.Jean looked cold and nonchalant. She looked calmly at Dorothy, asking, "Do you think your days aren't bad enough? Tyler might want to divorce me right now, but Dorian is his son. Do you think he'd let you hurt his son?"You're not even worthy of seeing Tyler."Dorothy took a deep breath, her expression shifting. She gritted her teeth. "I'm still Dorian's grandmother. I …"Faced with Jean's coldness, Dorothy couldn't go on saying anymore.Dorothy knew what Tyler's personality was like. Otherwise, Joyce would not have been sent to prison so quickly.Jean looked at how stubborn Dorothy looked and said sullenly, "Dorian doesn't have a grandmother like you."Dorothy's face froze. "Jean, don't forget that I'm your mother. I'm the one who gave you the body that you have now. Even if I have my faults, they don't change the fact that I'm your mother."Even the people who were nurtured by the Michaels family but do not share our blood are

    Dorothy had also suffered back then.Her mother preferred her younger sister over her. She was not loved and constantly abused.After her younger sister died in a car accident, her days in the Smiths' house grew even worse.All these years, Timothy accepted that Dorothy was nice to Joyce.As the elder sister, Dorothy was making up for her own suffering by being good to Joyce.However, Timothy couldn't quite stop her attitude toward Jean."Go home, Jean."Jean looked at Timothy's red and swollen leg, as well as the wounds on his face. She took a deep breath and took out a silver card from her purse.Timothy was stunned to see it, but he did not take it.But Dorothy held her hand out and snatched it away. Anxiously, she asked, "How much is in this, Jean?"Jean looked at the greed in Dorothy's gaze, mockery flashing through her eyes.It turned out that someone's family would affect them forever.Just like Jean, who was unable to feel love.And Dorothy, who did not want her el

    Dorothy grew agitated.Jean stood at the side, looking at her indifferently."I did all that I did for the good of the family. That's the truth!""It doesn't matter if you don't want to be from a good family, Jean. But Dorian is different. He's the Larsons' eldest grandchild. Do you want someone to be criticized when they bring up Dorian?"Jean looked at her coldly.Dorothy continued agitatedly, "Even if you cut off all ties with us, you're still a Michaels."You're part of us. For the Larsons, we're already considered part of the upper class. Don't you want your family to look more presentable? Don't you want Dorian to feel proud when someone mentions his maternal grandparents?"Jean looked at how furious Dorothy looked, mockery flashing through her eyes. "Dorian doesn't need the Michaels family to feel proud."As you said, Dorian is the Larsons' eldest grandchild. With that alone, it's worth respecting."Jean didn't look at Dorothy anymore and turned to leave.Dorothy wante

    Tyler looked at Jean coldly and said, "I didn't want to inform you either, but the school is organizing a parent-child event. I'm telling you to make time for it."Jean was taken aback. She didn't expect Tyler to agree to attend the school's parent-child event.She thought he would be very against attending any school events with her and their son. Tyler stood up from the sofa and was about to leave when a loud boom of thunder came from outside.Pursing her lips, Jean said softly, "It was already raining when I got back. You can stay here tonight."Tyler stopped in his footsteps and looked at Jean with displeasure. He said coldly, "This is my property. Why do you make it sound like I have to ask for your permission to stay here?"Jean said calmly, "I was just worried that you'd mind staying here. I won't insist if you want to leave."Tyler's expression darkened as he walked upstairs. Jean watched him silently before following him to the bedroom.All the things Tyler had left beh

    Yvette went up to Jean excitedly upon learning that Jean remembered her. She said, "I saw that you were hiring, so I rushed here from the city. I want to be your assistant. I can do layout work and coloring. I can do anything."Yvette kept marketing herself toward Jean so that Jean would hire her. However, she knew that Jean's company was a startup and was surely in need of capital.So, she said, "I don't care about my salary much. I just have one tiny request, which is that I want my name beside yours." Smiling, Jean said, "I'll surely add your name in if you're my assistant. But my studio has just started going through some transformations. Are you sure you want to work here?"The Jacobs family was a leader in the entertainment industry. It could be said they controlled all the resources of the industry. Jean was very surprised that Yvette wanted to work at her company. Yvette said, "I'll work here as long as my brother agrees to let me. Toby, you promised to let me, didn't yo

    Yvette realized that she had sounded rude and quickly corrected herself. "I meant got you hurt by accident."Jean didn't know how she felt about this. If Toby hadn't been there that night, she would've been killed.The people who had been hunting her down were cold-blooded killers. They wouldn't hold back just because they were in public."Mr. Jacobs, I'm very grateful for your help. From now on, just tell me when you need my help. I'll do everything that I can," said Jean.Nodding, Toby said, "I'll ask you for a favor, then. I heard that all your partners have pulled out from the studio. It just so happens that my sister is very interested in your field of work. I want to invest in your company."Jean asked with surprise, "You mean right now?"Toby nodded. "Yes. Your work received a very good response. I'm sure you've heard of the Jacobs family's influence in the entertainment industry. Work with me. I'll make you the most famous content creator in the blink of an eye. But, of c

    "I was worried that you'd regret your decision, so I prepared a contract. Please sign it if you have no further concerns," said Toby.Jean was taken aback to find that Toby had come prepared. Yvette also looked at him in shock when she heard about the contract."Toby, you schemed for this," she said. Toby looked at Yvette and said, "A businessman must always be prepared. Do your best here and learn from Ms. Michaels."Jean smiled awkwardly. She wasn't good at doing business. Her only talent was drawing comics.Toby's assistant took out the contract. Jean invited Toby and Yvette into her office, where she read through the contract seriously. She signed it after finding no problems with it.Watching her, Toby said, "You're understaffed. If you need any more employees, just let me know. You can focus on drawing from now on, and I'll be in charge of all of the studio's operations. "You'll own the copyright of your work, but once they've been adapted into movies, 60% of the profit

    "We're just a small-scale company, Mr. Jacobs. I think this current location is good enough for us." From Jean's perspective, relocating her studio would be an unnecessary cost to her. Relocation would also increase Toby's investment capital. Instead, Jean's plan was to hold up relocation plans until the company expanded. It wouldn't be too late to work on relocating then. Toby was silent for a while before replying firmly, "The location of your studio is not ideal for the work that you do."You've promised to come up with your best work in the next five years, Ms. Michaels. So, I hope that you'll be able to focus on your drawing from a better location." Jean paused. In a soft voice, she said, "I'm able to focus on drawing. Even if I'm not in my studio, I can do it at home …"Before Jean could finish her sentence, Toby interrupted her over the phone. "Ms. Michaels, I've only ever invested in reputable companies. Having your studio where it currently is will put me in a ba

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

    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.

    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
