Tyler's gaze turned icy as he glanced at Lilian."The artist you signed with previously took away an endorsement that was meant for one of Jacobs Group's artists, right? It seems that the Jacobs family might be targeting you specifically."Lilian had originally wanted to shift the blame to Jean, but she didn't expect Tyler to make such a statement.She immediately took a deep breath and said, "The artists under us earn their endorsements on their own merits. I don't think the Jacobses would be so petty."Lilian gritted her teeth and realized that Tyler was clearly favoring Jean. Regardless, she held her temper.If Esme were here today, she would probably say that the Jacobs family was brought in by Jean to deal with Page Co. But Lilian held back considering that Jean was still Tyler's wife in name.Lilian didn't want to portray herself as someone who spoke without thinking. She didn't want to be perceived as someone who was an enemy to Jean in front of Tyler.Tyler glanced at Li
Tyler didn't respond to Lilian's words. Sighing, Lilian left dejectedly.When Chris returned, he saw Lilian walking out of the elevator and nodded in greeting.Lilian called out to him, "Chris."Chris stopped in his tracks upon hearing that. His expression was calm as he replied, "Hello, Ms. Page."Lilian noticed that Chris was speaking to her formally and smiled. "Chris, we've worked together for five years now. We're technically colleagues. You don't need to be so formal with me. I've considered you as a friend all this time," she said.Chris' expression remained unchanged. His tone was particularly indifferent as he asked, "Ms. Page, is there something you need?"Smiling, Lilian replied, "Yes, but it's nothing major. I just wanted to remind you that the current Jean seems a lot different from the Jean of the past."She continued, "Her intentions might not be as kind as they appear. Tyler's injuries haven't completely healed yet, and I'm worried that he might be in danger. I
Tyler looked at Chris and said in a deep voice, "Since the Jacobses are eyeing Page Co. as well, we'll need to accelerate our plan."Nodding, Chris immediately directed the staff to take action.Meanwhile, at Page Co., Emmett had already recovered and was shocked to hear that Lilian intended to collaborate with Larson Group. She had even offered half of Page Co.'s film and television company to Tyler.He rushed to the company immediately.Emmett had single-handedly developed Page Co.'s film and television company from the very beginning.While it wasn't one of the biggest companies in the entertainment industry, it was certainly not an insignificant one.When Lilian returned from Larson Group, she saw Emmett sitting in her office.She walked over to him with a smile and asked softly, "Emmett, how do you have the time to visit the company today? It's better for you to stay at home and focus on your health."Emmett glared at her coldly. "If I hadn't come, you would've ruined Page
Emmett's expression shifted when he saw the look on Lilian's face. "So you did this on purpose, then?" he asked coldly.Lilian nodded and said, "Yes, I did. But I wasn't the one to make the final decision. It was Esme. She didn't have any objections when the proposal was made. So, Emmett, your efforts to oppose this are in vain."She continued, "At this moment, Esme is really not much different from a powerless figurehead."In the past few years, Esme had only appeared to be capable because Page Co. had Tyler to back it up.However, now that Tyler had unearthed the problems within the company, Esme's authority had immediately crumbled to nothing.Furthermore, due to her past mistakes, Esme didn't dare to insist on holding the position of Page Co.'s president anymore.For Lilian, this was basically an opportunity that had fallen right into her lap.Emmett stared at Lilian with a heavy expression. His face turned cold."You were the one who encouraged my mother to sell off the
Lilian's words left Emmett in a state of utter shock.He quickly fell silent.Lilian smiled faintly upon seeing the quiet Emmett. She said softly, "I've told you everything I needed to. Toby, whether you choose to act on it or not is entirely up to you."After that, she settled on the couch and said nothing more.Emmett left Page Co. and returned to his place.Alison had arrived at Emmett's place earlier. When she didn't see him around, she decided to call him. But just as she was to do that, she saw Emmett approach her.Alison immediately walked up to him with a smile. But she was met with Emmett's solemn tone instead. "Why didn't you tell me that Jean was the one who took me to the hospital back then?"Alison's expression shifted when she heard that. However, she regained her composure very quickly and asked in a calm voice, "What difference would that have made?"Emmett's face grew stern. He glared at Alison intensely and said, "Of course, it makes a huge difference. It affe
Yvette's teasing successfully eased the awkward tension in the air.Toby looked at Jean's car for a moment and calmed down.He turned to Yvette and said, "Lucky you."Yvette smiled bashfully in response.Eventually, they arrived at the new company. Many employees came early. Jean felt incredibly comforted by the new office environment.Toby led Jean to her office. Jean's eyes widened in amazement upon seeing all the new equipment."Everything here must've cost a lot," she remarked calmly.Toby swept a casual gaze over Jean before saying calmly, "I released news about the filming of Heroes yesterday. A TV network has already offered 1.3 billion dollars to purchase the broadcasting rights for it for five years. So take this as repayment for the work you'll be doing for me."Jean raised an eyebrow at that.Many of the TV shows produced by Jacobs Group were top-notch. As such, she was confident that Heroes, whether it was produced as a film or TV show, would certainly become a m
Jean remained indifferent, not even bothering to look at Emmett's resume."I'm sorry, but our company is too small. We can't afford the high costs of hiring a big-shot director like you, Mr. Page," she said.Emmett looked at Jean coldly for a moment before smiling. "Jean, I didn't come here for the salary. I just want to be closer to you," he said.Jean furrowed her brows slightly, and her expression grew solemn.She fixed a stern gaze on Emmett. "Since you've already stated that you have ulterior motives for wanting to work here, I can't allow you to work with us. Mr. Page, please look for opportunities elsewhere."Jean gave Emmett back his resume, not looking the slightest bit hesitant.Emmett noticed how resolute Jean was. His expression shifted slightly, and soon, he said in a serious tone, "Jean, I'm someone who isn't afraid of dying. I genuinely mean you no harm. I just want to direct your work for once. I'm willing to do anything."Jean frowned slightly as she looked at E
After shutting the office door, Yvette turned back and took a seat next to Jean. She tidied up the sketches Jean had arranged."Jean, did you date Mr. Page in the past or something?" she asked.There were rumors circulating about Jean and Emmett's past relationship, after all.However, Yvette was not entirely convinced that Jean had ever been involved with Emmett.Once Jean was done arranging the sketches, she turned on her tablet and said calmly, "It was ages ago. I've almost completely forgotten about it."Hearing Jean's response, surprise flashed in Yvette's eyes.Very quickly, Yvette smiled and said, "Why is it that you're always surrounded by high-quality men? Apart from Toby, I don't think I've ever had a single decent guy stick around my life."Jean smiled when she heard Yvette. "Having too many romantic interests around isn't necessarily a good thing sometimes. Besides, I've only had two," she said.Both of which didn't end well, but she didn't add that."With Mr. Jaco
