In order to demonstrate his sincerity, Tristan pulled a check out and placed it on Jean's desk. He pushed the check over to Jean. He said, "Jean, do consider it. If you think that the sum is not enough, I can top up a little more." Tristan had a confident look on his face while looking over at Jean. It was as if Jean would certainly accept his offer to exchange the script for Heroes for a sum of money.Jean smirked. Without even looking at the check on her desk, she said sarcastically, "This chump change isn't enough to purchase the script." Tristan frowned when he heard that. He was no longer as polite as before. "Jean, don't forget that Heroes wasn't your idea," he said in a firm voice. Jean kept the same smile on her face as she quipped, "But the script belongs to me." The expression on Tristan's face changed. Jean remained calmly seated. She then laughed and said, "Do you have evidence that Heroes was your idea? You have no way to prove it. Moreover, you had
While Tristan was speaking, he picked up his check from Jean's desk and slammed it back down. "If you accept my offer, you may still be able to hire a better lawyer to help fight for your child's custody."Jean narrowed her eyes as she glanced at Tristan coldly. "I may not have Larson Group as my support, but the Jacobses will be investing in all my work from here on," Jean replied emotionlessly. Tristan was stunned when he heard that. "The Jacobses?" When Jean saw the surprise on Tristan's face, she felt secretly pleased. She responded, "Yes, the same Jacobses you were trying so hard to get acquainted with. But unfortunately for you, you didn't so much as get a glimpse of their shadow." Upon hearing that, Tristan froze. Here was Yvette's chance to chime in! It was time for her to show off her background. "To date, there's none that can compare with the Jacobses when it comes to our position in the entertainment industry. "Although, I'd like to see how talent
Yvette had just heard about Jean and Tyler’s divorce fiasco from Tristan. She then moved closer to Jean and whispered, "Jean, you must let me know if you’re planning to go through with the divorce. I'll have you know that my family's team of lawyers is among the country's elites."She continued, "It just so happens that the Jacobses and the Larsons have never clashed before this. Let's see which family is the strongest between us." The Jacobses and the Larsons' circles of influence had never been the same. The Jacobses had always benefited from the gaming and entertainment industries.The game titles under the Jacobses indeed generated handsome revenues.Not to mention Toby's proactiveness in the entertainment industry had brought in a hefty sum of money.He was even eyeing the overseas market at the moment.On the other hand, the Larsons were mostly involved in the business industry. They had properties all over the country.Their circles of influence had never been the same
Jean's hands stopped moving. She had a helpless look in her eyes.Jean had never thought that her relationship with Tyler would deteriorate so quickly before this.Even if they had gotten back together for the sake of their child, she thought that it would last longer.Never had she thought that they would end up with a soured relationship like this.Jean replied, "I'm not sure either. Men and their fickle hearts."Yvette was one of the Jacobses, after all. Even if the Jacobses and the Larsons were not in conflict now, it was hard to guarantee that they wouldn't become rivals in the future. The best weakness for rivals to exploit would be Tyler's health condition.That was why even Jean wasn't notified when Tyler went for his surgery overseas.The only ones who knew were the people he trusted the most, which were his secretary, Robin, his assistant, Chris, and the Larsons.As much as Jean trusted Yvette, she could never tell her about Tyler's health condition.Yvette was stu
"He's so full of arrogance. You're the investor of this studio, Toby. You need to back us up," Yvette spoke with agitation. The look on her face was extremely reluctant. She continued, "Otherwise, Jean's studio that's just starting up will likely be suppressed by Page Co." Toby listened to Yvette's words mutedly. There weren't many changes in his expression. Noticing it, Jean whispered, "I can settle this matter. I just won't—" Toby intercepted without even waiting for Jean's words to finish. "Which work does he have his eyes on?" His voice was icy, sending along a terrifying chill. Yvette immediately replied, "It's an unpublished script written by Jean called Heroes." Toby nodded slightly. He glanced over at his assistant. One of the men in black who was helping with sorting out the manuscripts at the moment found the script. He then passed it to Toby. From the side, Jean arched her brow. She was calm when she said, "Even though I was the one who wrote the s
Yvette looked lost. With bewilderment on her face, she asked, "Why didn't I know you had a grudge against Page Co.?"The Pages and the Jacobses had not interacted much.Although Yvette was not in charge of company affairs, she knew a lot.Toby looked at her calmly, saying, "Page Co. wants to infiltrate the entertainment industry. Aren't they challenging the Jacobses? We're rivals. Doesn't that make us enemies?"Yvette smiled softly. "That seems to be true."Toby's men had gathered all of Jean's documents into boxes.They only needed to move the things tomorrow.Toby glanced at the boxes of various sizes and asked calmly, "What else has not been settled?"Jean shook her head. "Everything's been settled. I'll just come over to move them tomorrow. Thank you so much, Mr. Jacobs."Toby got up from his chair. "I'm the shareholder of this company. This is expected of me. I can't just sit by and take your money."Jean smiled softly.It was hard to find such a good investor like Toby
Jean felt a little embarrassed.She smiled and was about to explain when Yvette said, "Toby, Tyler and Jean are divorcing. That's why he wouldn't give her too much materialistic stuff."Toby was silent for a while.Feeling awkward, Jean said, "Cars are just what I use to get around. I don't have other uses for a car, so it's fine as long as I can drive it."Toby's gaze darkened. "Get in the car. I'll pick out a new car for you."Jean was stunned and hurriedly said, "I'm just fine with this car, Mr. Jacobs. I don't want to trouble you."She and Toby had only known each other for two days. On top of that, he had given her a helping hand.He had settled the studio's new location, and now he wanted to give her a car. It was expected for Jean to feel pressured.Toby watched her refuse him. His gaze darkened as he repeated, "Get into the car."This time, his voice carried a demanding tone.Jean hurriedly said, "I can't accept your offer when you're like this, Mr. Jacobs."Toby loo
Toby and Yvette had encountered countless death threats since they were kids. Toby’s path to becoming the head of the Jacobs family was paved by cunning schemes and sneaky tricks. He was a dictator; nobody was allowed to threaten his position of power.Jean was the first woman to catch his attention in many years.Maybe it was because she had helped him escape without a second thought after he was injured that night. She had held onto him the entire time, even putting her life in danger by distracting the assassins. That was when he started to have feelings for her. However, he knew he could still control those feelings. Yvette blinked owlishly when Toby remained silent. In a low voice, she asked, "I’m right, aren’t I? We’re twins, remember? You can’t keep secrets from me." Toby glanced at her and replied in a somber voice, "You don’t have to say every thought that comes to your head."Smiling sheepishly, Yvette stopped talking. Jean had arrived at the kindergart
