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.

  • If I were Yours   Chapter 425 Seizing the Opportunity

    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

  • If I were Yours   Chapter 426 Relying on Tyler

    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

  • If I were Yours   Chapter 428 Toby's Gift

    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

  • If I were Yours   Chapter 429 Give Him a Chance

    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

  • If I were Yours   Chapter 430 Refusing the Job

    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

    Toby gazed intently at Jean and asked, "Do you have a grudge against Emmett or something?"Only very few people knew about the fact that Jean and Emmett had dated in the past.When Jean heard Toby's question, she smiled calmly and replied, "No, none at all."Nodding, Toby continued, "Well, there's a charity banquet organized by the Hosks tomorrow. They'll be auctioning various artworks by renowned designers. I can take you there if you want. Maybe you can gain some inspiration from the event."Jean nodded and expressed her gratitude, "Alright. Thank you for the opportunity, Mr. Jacobs."Seeing that Jean was still addressing him so formally, Toby said calmly, "We're work partners now. Your constant use of 'Mr. Jacobs' makes me feel a little weird."Upon hearing that, Yvette raised an eyebrow and said, "Toby, are you suggesting that Jean should call you by your first name?"Upon hearing this, embarrassment flickered in Jean's eyes.Toby glanced at Yvette for a moment and said, "Y

    Even though Lukas was now back together with her, Jenny could clearly feel that their relationship could never return to the way it had been in the past. After spending some time with Lukas, Jenny felt that Lukas' heart no longer belonged to her.Once Conner and Robin were done packing up Alina's belongings at the hospital, they made their way to Robin's car. Robin drove them to her apartment. Upon seeing where they were heading, Conner said to Robin softly, "Roo, I won't be going back to your apartment."Upon hearing this, Robin looked confused. 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 call managed to go through, but no one answered her call even after a long while.Robin gradually tightened the grip she had on her phone. She tried to maintain her composure while holding the phone.After what seemed like ages, Terence finally answered her call."Roo, why are you still up?"Terence's gentle voice came through in the end. His tone was tinged with a hint of exhaustion.Upon hearing his voice, Robin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.Seeing that Terence had ended up answering her call, she supposed there weren't any problems to worry about."Yeah, I haven't gone to sleep yet. I'm still—"Robin was about to tell Terence that she was still at the hospital.However, Terence quickly interjected, "I'm still at the hospital now."Upon hearing Terence's words, Robin unconsciously tightened her grip on her phone.

    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. He had a tender expression on his face as he said, "Don't worry, I know Terence very well. I'm certain he'll marr

    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. Clearly, she did not understand the meaning of Robin's words.Robin took a deep breath to control her own emotions and continued softly, "I was referring to finding a man who takes

    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. He turned the engine on and drove off to the hospital to visit Monica.  Robin stood in the cor
