After Coleen finished speaking, she went off. The dinner on the table was left untouched.

Jean walked back over to the dining table and sat down calmly. Coleen had left two bodyguards at the dining room's entrance to stand guard.

Layla stood by Jean's side. She wanted to say something, but with Mrs. Bennett around, she didn't dare to reveal much.

Meanwhile, Jean began to eat her meal. She maintained a calm appearance, acting as if nothing had happened. Mrs. Bennett glanced at Jean calmly before leaving the dining room.

After dinner, Jean returned to her room. Layla followed her from behind. Inside the bedroom, the two women were alone, so Layla dared to speak more freely.

"Madam, if things keep going the way they are, how on earth are we going to get back to Oakside Villa?"

Jean smiled. "Why would I want to go back there?" she replied. She was living a good life in Teak Villa, after all. No one was around to force her to donate blood, and Tyler wouldn't be around as often.

    Jean's expression darkened slightly, but she didn't say much. After going downstairs, she went to have her meal in the dining room. Although Mrs. Bennett didn't like her, the housekeeper dutily made her breakfast.After Jean sat at the table, Mrs. Bennett glanced at her with a slight frown before leaving.Jean looked at the food before her and reached for the glass of milk. Just as she was about to touch her lips to the rim, she noticed a familiar plastic bag in the trash can. She raised a brow, then put the glass down. She recognized the packaging. It was the same packaging she saw lying around whenever Mrs. Jones prepared drinks for her back at Oakside Villa.In the last three years, she had never been able to conceive a child despite Tyler's efforts. Only gradually did she realize that the food she was eating might be tampered with.She remembered that she drank something similar the night before she got pregnant. Even so, she ended up conceiving anyway. This was something J

    Jean stepped into the elevator with Tyler following closely behind her. They arrived at the floor of Lilian's ward a moment later.Just as she was about to step out, Tyler suddenly grabbed her hand. "Are you feeling well enough today?" he asked.Jean stopped in her tracks at that. She stared at the man she had shared a bed with for three years. She pursed her lips and replied softly, "If I'm not, does it mean you won't draw my blood today?"Tyler furrowed his brows and fixed his gaze on her. Jean had no makeup on her delicate face, and her usually rosy lips looked pale.Jean had donated a lot of blood to Lilian recently. However, when Lilian received a blood transfusion from an alternative source supplied by Coleen, she experienced rejection symptoms. To fix it, they had to get Jean for her blood again."If you're not feeling well, we can draw a little less from you today," he said.Mockery filled Jean's eyes. She looked at Tyler coldly and pulled her hand back forcefully. "Mr. L

    Lilian covered her mouth in surprise. She stared at Jean with disbelief in her eyes."You've been the one donating blood to me all this time?" she asked.Jean looked calmly at her and remained silent. Standing next to Lilian, Tyler glared coldly at Jean. He shot her a warning look. He seemed afraid that she might say something wrong. Jean could sense how nervous Tyler really was.If Coleen hadn't intervened, Lilian and Tyler would've ended up married. Even though three years had passed, the way Tyler looked at Lilian was something Jean had never experienced before.Jean felt heartbroken when she saw how tenderly Tyler treated Lilian. Perhaps it was because she had taken Joyce's place for the past three years that she had formed an attachment to Tyler.She knew that she shouldn't feel heartbroken at all. She had nothing to do with Tyler, after all. Lilian wiped her tears and walked over to Jean. When she saw the bruises on Jean's arm, fat tears instantly welled up in her eyes

    Jean looked as if she hadn't heard what Coleen had said and walked away.Simone was waiting at the hospital entrance. Upon seeing Jean walk out alone, her expression shifted. She quickly approached."Are you okay?" she asked. Then, she noticed the handprint on Jean's face, causing her face to darken."Did he hit you?" she asked angrily.Jean shook her head."No. Come on, let's just go," she said. She felt like she was going to suffocate if she stayed any longer.Simone frowned and looked at Jean seriously. "Jean, you shouldn't keep it all in. You have to stand up for yourself for once," she said solemnly.Jean hesitated for a moment as a conflicted expression crossed her face.Simone sensed her hesitation and continued, "They're just a bunch of vampires. Their goal is to literally drain all your energy and suck you dry. You're pregnant now. Even if you can't think of yourself, you have to think about your baby's wellbeing. If you keep this going, your baby might not make it."

    Jean returned to Teak Villa feeling dizzy and disoriented. No one had offered to help her throughout the whole journey.When Layla saw that she was back, she snorted coldly before going about her own business. Mrs. Bennett, who had been swayed by Coleen's ill opinion of Jean, also ignored her.After taking a few steps forward, Jean felt that she couldn't walk anymore. She reached out to support herself against a stone pillar nearby. Mrs. Bennett watched her coldly. She felt that Jean was only after personal gain and believed that the latter's weak condition now was entirely her own doing.Jean felt her head start to spin. Suddenly, her vision darkened, and she collapsed on the ground.Tyler walked in just as Jean fainted. Panic flashed in his eyes, and he rushed over to her."Joyce," he called out, lifting Jean into his arms and shooting a cold glare at Mrs. Bennett, who was standing a short distance away.Seeing Tyler's glare directed at her, the housekeeper instantly became n

    Jean got up the next morning and washed up. Then, she walked out of the bedroom. By her bedroom door were two of Coleen's bodyguards. They were still standing guard. When they saw her come out, they immediately followed behind her.After going downstairs, Jean noticed that all the maids in Teak Villa had been replaced. Layla, who had accompanied her from Oakside Villa, was nowhere to be seen. Someone new had taken her place.But no matter who the replacement was, they were still under Tyler's control.As such, Jean didn't bother asking the maid for her name. She walked into the dining room and looked at breakfast laid out on the table. She felt the urge to throw up once again.She took a deep breath to suppress the feeling of nausea. Then, she dismissed the maid who was standing by her side.The maid left the dining room silently. She assumed that Jean was probably in a bad mood and didn't want anyone around.Jean sat at the dining table and dry-heaved a few times. Luckily, n

    Coleen held her head high and looked at Dorothy without fear. "If I had been worried about what others would say about me, I wouldn't have come all the way here. Mrs. Michaels, you do know that Joyce and Tyler's marriage is nothing but a contractual arrangement, right? Could it be that you were kept in the dark all this time?" Coleen said.Jean heard her as she was walking in.Upon seeing Jean, Coleen looked at her with a mocking glint in her eyes."She's just a tool my son keeps around to give blood to another woman."Dorothy looked over at Jean with a stunned expression on her face.Jean took a deep breath and walked over. She looked at Coleen and said calmly, "There's no need to bother my family with matters between Tyler and me."Jean was worried about Joyce's health. Her sister had only just begun to recover a little. Hearing such shocking news might cause her to collapse again.Coleen smiled, and the derision in her eyes seemed to intensify."So it seems that your famil

    Joyce looked gentle. After she finished speaking, she released Jean's hand.Jean walked downstairs after composing herself.The air between Coleen and Dorothy was already extremely tense.Arriving downstairs, Jean regarded Coleen with a steady gaze. "Alright, I'll sign the divorce papers," she said solemnly.A hint of surprise flashed in Coleen's eyes. After Jean returned downstairs, she seemed a lot more confident when she spoke. It puzzled Coleen.Regardless, the fact that Jean had agreed to sign the divorce papers. This meant that Coleen had achieved her goal. She didn't need to understand the reason behind it."Good."Coleen looked at Jean sternly. \Meanwhile, Anthony Porter, the lawyer, took out the documents from his briefcase.Dorothy shot Jean a displeased glare when she saw that Jean had taken matters into her own hands.

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 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.

    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.

    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.
