Jean paused for a moment. Her expression remained neutral as she glanced at Lilian casually."Lilian, what would you like to talk about?" she asked.Taking a deep breath, Lilian walked up to Jean with a smile. "I know about what Esme did to you. I'm actually the one who persuaded Mrs. Vale to change her testimony."Jean regarded Lilian indifferently, remaining unaffected by the news.She replied in a somewhat mocking tone, "Is that so? Do you want me to thank you, then?"Lilian replied, "You don't have to thank me so soon, Jean. I know you wouldn't be willing to talk to me if I hadn't helped you with anything. I only have one request for now. I want you to leave Tyler."Jean raised an eyebrow at that. Her lips curled into a cold smile as she said indifferently, "Leaving him isn't something I'll do just because you've asked me nicely. It seems you haven't been able to hold Tyler down recently. Otherwise, I'm sure you wouldn't be here discussing this with me."Lilian took a deep
After returning to her car, Jean glanced at the spot where Lilian had stood a moment ago.Seeing that Lilian had turned back to the hospital, a mocking glint flashed in her eyes.It was no wonder that Lilian had managed to stay close to Tyler for such a long time.Lilian was undoubtedly a clever woman.She had her own grudges against Esme, and it was likely that she had been secretly collecting evidence against her own sister.Lilian had managed to drag Jean into her plan in the end. She created an enticing offer to make Jean divorce Tyler.Jean and Tyler had already signed the divorce papers, after all. As such, the conditions Lilian had stated were already met and didn't affect Jean in the slightest.However, Jean noted that a woman like Lilian concealed her true intentions too well.Taking a deep breath, Jean tightened her grip on the steering wheel.She couldn't let Lilian end up marrying Tyler in the end.…After Lilian and Jean reached an agreement, Lilian returned to
Due to genetic defects, men in the Larson family had a history of falling ill and encountering health problems.Considering Lilian's health issues, it was unthinkable for the Larsons to accept her as part of their family.Moreover, Lilian had portrayed herself as an overly kind person over the years.It made Coleen dislike her even more.In Coleen's eyes, no one in the world was really that good of a person. Even if such a person existed, she was certain that they wouldn't be like Lilian.Lilian sucked in a deep breath upon hearing what Coleen had said. However, she maintained her composure. Even though she felt humiliated, she didn't display any anger."Aunt Coleen, you may have been mistaken. I don't have any hidden intentions. All I want to do is care for Tyler. He's an old friend of mine, so I'm genuinely concerned about his health," Lilian replied.Lilian glanced at Tyler as if seeking his support, but the man never looked her way.Lilian could only sigh in frustration and
The guard glanced at Lilian, gesturing for her to go.With a sigh, Lilian left.Chris stayed by Tyler's side for the whole night.At nine in the morning, when the hospital staff had clocked in, Tyler requested to be discharged from the hospital.Chris did not stop him and helped him with the procedures.After that, Tyler went straight to Larson Residence.Coleen knew that Tyler wasn't used to staying in the hospital. Tyler's mental state seemed to have improved. In a low voice, she said, "I contacted a neurology specialist overseas."She'll return to the country soon. A lot of hospitals are making their offers to her, hoping to hire her. I've already fought for her to come to our hospital."She can be your private doctor that way, and she'll be specially tasked to check on you for a while."Tyler looked expressionless as she spoke. He nodded lightly. "Okay."Then, he tugged at Dorian's hand and walked toward the study.Coleen sighed in exasperation.Judy looked at Tyler in
Yvette felt that there was something amiss about that woman's attitude and got up as well.Seeing Jean and Toby talking and laughing with the people around them evoked an intense hatred in Alison.She and Emmett ended up like this because of Jean.Alison had a dark look on her face as she watched that woman.Clutching the wine glass in her hand, she walked toward Jean."Jean Michaels!" she called out.When Jean heard that, she turned.The moment she did, Alison splashed her wine all over her.Toby had fast reflexes and pulled Jean toward his side.Jean was wearing a white suit today. It didn't matter if the wine spilled on Toby, as long as Jean was spared.Toby held Jean in his arms, most of his body taking the hit.His face was grim as he looked at the Hosk family's representative.The representative's facial expression shifted at once as he said, "What are you doing, Ms. Matthias?"When Alison saw that Toby was protecting Jean, she growled. "What else can you do besides
Alison's face twisted in anger at Jean's words. She yelled, "Didn't catch your eye?"How could you say that when you seduced him? Of course, a mere director like him wouldn't catch your eye now that you're latching on to the Jacobses."Jean raised her eyebrows, coldness flashing through her gaze. "The person who let you down is Emmett, not me. There's nothing between us. Don't blame me for being unable to keep your man by your side."Toby looked coldly at the disheveled Alison. With the employees' help, he cleaned up the mess on himself.Looking at Alison coldly, he asked, "So, you're Emmett's fiancée?"His eyes darkened. "I don't know who the unlucky one is for him to have met you. Since Emmett has ulterior motives toward my partner, I'll never let him into my company."As Toby spoke, he looked at the employee next to him and said, "Call Emmett at once and tell him to fuck off. Someone who can't handle his own family's affairs won't be able to bring much benefit to my company."
Pursing her lips, Jean said, "He's probably too indecisive. That's why he and Alison have become like this."Before they became enemies, Jean had heard Emmett calling Alison's name when he was drunk.He didn't love Jean as much as he thought, and his feelings for Alison weren't completely absent.They had been together for five years, after all.They had already bought a house and lived together for a while.If they felt nothing for each other, they wouldn't have moved in together.Yvette saw that there was a red stain on Jean's sleeve. It was obviously from the red wine. She said at once, "Jean, you should wash up with my brother."Jean waved her hands hurriedly. "No, it's fine. I'll just make do."Since Jean insisted, Yvette did not press on.…Alison was escorted out by the Hosks' guard.At the door, she met Lilian.Lilian was standing at the entrance. She was shocked to see Alison be brought out by the guards. She immediately walked over and asked, "Alison, what did you
After getting her hand pushed away, Lilian's gaze turned dark.The Hosks were very influential in this circle.Alison must have done something rash to have been escorted out.Alison had already evoked the Hosks' wrath.The Matthiases were only scholars. They didn't really have power. Hence, Lilian wasn't really afraid of Alison.As the Pages' daughter born out of wedlock, Lilian's life had always been under scrutiny.Lilian said exasperatedly, "Alison, I was just giving you some advice. I didn't think you'd be so defensive. "I haven't wronged you at all. You don't need to rub salt in my wounds. But forget it now. I won't hold a grudge since you're angry."Then, she sighed and walked toward the living room.Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a familiar car driving toward her. She immediately paused in her footsteps.Not long after, Tyler walked out from the car.When she saw him, Lilian immediately walked over.Tyler had brought Dorian along to attend the banquet.Lilia
