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
Jean just walked past Lavinia as nonchalantly as she would walk past a pig squealing in a farm. Soon enough, she arrived at Dorian's classroom.When Dorian spotted Jean, he walked toward her with a large smile on his face with his backpack already on his shoulders. The teacher quickly held his hand and walked over with Dorian at the sight of Jean's arrival. At the same time, another little boy ran over, seemingly having spotted his own parent as well. He bumped right into Dorian. He didn't fall only because his teacher was holding his hand. The little boy, however, fell down and immediately began to cry. "Mom! He knocked me over!" When Dorian saw his classmate fall down, he instinctively reached out a hand to help him up. However, just as he reached his hand out, a woman came bustling in from the doorway and smacked his hand roughly. "Are you blind? How dare you crash into my son like that?" Jean's expression immediately darkened, and she hurriedly walked into
Lavinia roughly pushed the slim teacher out of her way and rushed toward Jean. During her years in Resovia, Jean had often been the target of assassination attempts. She'd been attacked like this several times before. Once Lavinia got close enough, Jean aimed a kick at her knee. Lavinia immediately fell down. The teacher quickly stood in front of Dorian to protect him. If he got hurt in any way, her career would probably be done for.The kindergarten had installed 24-hour surveillance cameras in all of their classrooms. Once the security guards saw a fight breaking out in the classroom, they rushed there immediately and held off Lavinia. Dorian quickly ran to Jean and asked in concern, "Mom, are you okay?" Jean nodded, reaching out to pat his head. In a soft voice, she replied, "I'm fine. Were you scared just now?" Dorian shook his head. Richard immediately began to crawl to his feet at the sight of his mother getting held back. In tears, he rushed toward Je
Tyler's car had been parked in a corner of the school from the start.Jean hadn't come out of the school for a long time. His expression grew somber.The guards at the entrance had rushed in, saying that something had happened in the school."Go and see what's happened," he said in a low voice.Chris immediately got out of the car. "Yes, Mr. Larson."He went into the school.Tyler grew impatient as he watched him walk. He got out of the car immediately.Chris was making his way out of the school after understanding the situation. Then, he saw that Tyler had already come in."Something has happened regarding Mrs. Larson and Dorian. They're both in the principal's office."Tyler raised his eyebrows as he headed toward the office.When the teacher saw him, her expression shifted at once. She immediately explained everything that had happened, including Lavinia calling them poor and saying that Dorian was a bastard child.Tyler's expression was exceptionally grim after hearing a
Lavinia was stunned. She took a deep breath and looked at Jean in terror.She could still feel the sting on her cheek from when Jean had slapped her before."Mr. Larson …"Lavinia wanted to beg, but Kyle Quinn walked in right this moment."I'm sorry, Dorian. Can you forgive us just this once? I'm begging you."Mr. Quinn was alert and knew to beg Dorian for forgiveness.After all, Dorian was a child, and he was the one involved in this. Although Mr. Quinn would lose some of his pride, it didn't matter as long as he could keep his job safe.Dorian looked at Kyle, frowning.It was then that Jean realized that being too kind in a society like this was not a good thing.Dorian might inherit Larson Group in the future.With his identity, he could not let his kindness become his weakness.Right as Dorian was about to nod, Jean placed a hand on Dorian's arm."Dorian, people who have done wrong things must be punished."Tyler was sitting on the chair. When he heard her words, he lo
Upon hearing what Tyler said, Kyle looked oddly frightened.His wife, Lavinia, who had not been nervous just a moment ago suddenly looked nervous. She even felt her knees becoming weak.Their financial records had never been clean all this while.They only managed to get away with so much over the years because no one had reported them.That was why they grew bolder over time.After they heard what Tyler said, they realized that the man planned to trap them in a corner.Lavinia apologized immediately, "We're really sorry, Mr. Larson. We know what we did was wrong. We swear to you that we won't repeat our mistake, okay? Can you find it in your heart to forgive us this time?"She had a pleading look on her face.Lavinia's plump body was bent over slightly. She looked very nervous. Her current demeanor was a far cry from her previous arrogance.Tyler looked at her coldly and said in a stern tone, "You want me to forgive you guys? How do you propose to mend the emotional trauma yo
Kyle's expression changed upon hearing Jean's words. He looked at Jean with defiance in his gaze, but he knew there was no way he could deal with her. All he could do was grit his teeth and turn to leave.Jean watched the Quinn family leave with an indifferent expression on her face. Then, she bent down to ask Dorian, "Dorian, does your hand still hurt?"Dorian shook his head gently and replied, "No, Mom. It doesn't hurt anymore. Let's go home."Jean nodded. Then, she saw Tyler, who was sitting at the side, move to get up. They left the principal's office together.The principal took what happened to Dorian at school very seriously.Although Tyler didn't pursue any legal action against the school, Mr. Anderson still felt uneasy.If Tyler were to press for the school to take responsibility for what happened, it could affect the upcoming election for the next principal.After they left, the principal remained cautious and even walked Jean, Tyler, and Dorian to the school gate.As
