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
Jean paused for a moment and said calmly, "You've modified all the cars at Teak Villa. They're too fast, so none of them are suitable for me."After she finished speaking, an employee from the car dealership immediately approached and said, "Mrs. Larson, I'm sure you'll like this car. We haven't made any modifications that have anything to do with speed. We only enhanced the security system a bit. Please come with me."Nodding, Jean followed the employee into the car dealership.Inside, the employee conducted checks systematically.Jean looked on with indifference.She was completely clueless about cars.As long as the safety system was fine, she saw cars as just a means of transport.Since Tyler insisted on replacing her old car, she figured it couldn't hurt.After a series of safety checks, the person in charge asked Jean warily, "So, Mrs. Larson, what do you think about this car?" Jean calmly nodded and replied, "It looks pretty good."The person in charge immediately smi
Dorian flashed a faint smile at Jean and whispered, "Mom, if you're not happy with Dad, you should just forget it and do the things that make you happy."I didn't understand before, but I do now," he continued.Upon hearing this, Jean felt emotions well up inside her.Dorian had changed a lot in just a few short months. It was clear that Tyler's current attitude had contributed to his growth.Dorian was just a little over five years old at the moment, yet he was already so understanding. Jean felt a deep sense of guilt."It's because I didn't protect you well enough. You shouldn't have experienced what you did so young," Jean said as she gently patted Dorian's head. Her eyes were filled with remorse.Dorian reached out to hold her hand and said softly, "Mom, you've already done your best."In truth, he rarely saw Jean get angry at someone else, let alone hit another person.When Dorian saw Jean stand up for him against someone so much stronger than her, he felt deeply moved.H
Anthony's expression shifted. He looked at Jean with some surprise and said, "Ms. Michaels, aren't you going to take some time to reconsider?"Jean remained indifferent. Her gaze was icy as she glanced at Anthony."If I were going to reconsider, I wouldn't have made such a solid statement. In the future, if Tyler or Lilian want to approach me regarding the issue with the rights to Heroes, I'm not going to entertain it."After that, Jean got up and headed up[stairs. She instructed her maid, "Please see the guest out."The maid followed Jean's command and immediately gestured for Anthony to leave.Anthony watched Jean as she went upstairs with dark eyes. Then, he took out his phone to call Tyler."Mr. Larson, Jean refuses to sign the contract."Tyler's brows furrowed slightly when he heard that. "What did she say?" he asked.Anthony took a deep breath and replied, "She said that she doesn't care for the money and told Ms. Page to keep the money for herself."Tyler furrowed his b
Upon hearing that, Jean's sarcasm became even more pronounced."So, you think you're doing me a huge favor, huh?"Tyler hummed in agreement.Jean had a small smile on her lips."Tyler, I was respectful to you before you were Dorian's father. We spent three years together and spent most of those days as a couple," she said calmly.She continued, "But since you've forgotten about me and Dorian, it just means that my business has nothing to do with you. I won't let you buy the script from me and give it to Lilian as a gift."Unless you agree to grant me Dorian's full custody after the divorce, of course. If you do that, I might consider giving you the script. But, of course, the price of it will be much higher."Jean paused for a moment and added solemnly, "I want 80 million for my script, and Dorian's custody will have to come to me. You'll be a free bird once you agree to my terms."Tyler had been holding himself back this entire time. Finally, he said in a deep voice, "Jean, yo
Toby chuckled softly on the other end of the line. "I might be wealthy now, but it doesn't mean I'll remain this way forever. In case I lose everything one day, the money I've sent you might be just what I need to save myself. Don't you think?" he answered.Jean had a playful glint in her eye when she heard that. "Alright then. When it does come to that, I'll use the money to save your life. That way, you'd be indebted to me."Toby chuckled and replied, "Jean, you're way better at doing business than I am. Look at you planning to use my money to save my own life!"Jean couldn't help but smile as well. She said, "You asked me to hold onto the money for you, didn't you? I'm not even charging you a holding fee. If I return it to you in the future in full, isn't that a form of kindness on my part?"Toby smiled in response.They continued to chat for a while after that.Perhaps it was because Toby was indebted to her, but Jean had no reservations when it came to him.Given the way
If Tyler were to pass away, the scrutiny Jean would have to face would undoubtedly be more severe.This was because both Judy and Coleen had remained faithful to the Larsons even after the death of their husbands. They had exhibited unwavering loyalty toward the Larsons.If Jean chose not to remarry, her fate would become similar to that of Judy and Coleen.On the other hand, if she did choose to remarry, she would probably face multiple criticisms from various people.In the past, the rumors and gossip that went around nearly ruined Coleen.Tyler was determined to avoid that from happening to Jean.When Tyler returned to his seat, Chris took a deep breath and asked, "Should we look into who Ms. Michaels has been in contact with lately?"After all, Jean was technically still Tyler's legal wife.Rumors of her strained relationship with Tyler had circulated widely. If people with ill intentions were to approach her deliberately, not only would they end up harming Jean, but it wou
