The staff packed all the auction items. Chris retrieved the collection. Then, he placed it inside the company's secure safe under specialized protection. Due to her earlier words, Lilian had managed to create a distinct impression that Tyler had acquired the pink diamond set for her. Despite her ultimately not receiving the collection, she achieved that effect with her words. On the following day, numerous reports surfaced online regarding the auction night. Most of them depicted Tyler as a lavish spender for his beloved. Everyone believed he acquired the expensive set of diamonds for Lilian. Furthermore, rumors spread about Tyler and Jean undergoing marital changes. The next morning, when Jean returned to the studio, she noticed that the people around her were giving her peculiar looks. The moment she entered her office, Yvette immediately approached her. "The rumors online claim that you and Tyler have divorced and that the Cinderella story is just that, a fairy
"Aunt Coleen, I'm aware that Tyler suffers from the same illness as Uncle James. You should be aware that he may not have long to live. "You don't wish for him to leave behind any regrets, do you? I don't wish to leave with any regrets either. Please don't obstruct Tyler and me from being together anymore." Lilian gave Coleen a serious gaze pleadingly. Observing her expression, Coleen sternly replied, "Even if Tyler's health is compromised, the Larsons will never allow you to become one of us!" Upon finishing her sentence, she flung a stack of photographs onto Lilian's face abruptly. The photographs featured Lilian's meeting with the reporter from the news agency. Then, Coleen said in a cold tone, "Don't waste your breath." With that, she left. Lilian remained in place with her fists tightly clenched. Her expression was particularly grim. Over the years, she had consistently shown deference to Coleen, even going as far as to be servile. Yet, her efforts had f
"Ms. Michaels, please accept it," Chris said as he gave Jean the pink diamond set that consisted of a necklace and a ring.However, Jean refused. She gazed at Chris with a heavy expression and said in a low voice, "Chris, please take it back. It's too valuable. I can't accept it." She had divorced Tyler, and their property division was meticulously detailed. She didn't want to accept such valuable gifts from him. Seeing her resolute attitude, Chris replied in a hushed tone, "Ms. Michaels, if you don't accept it, I won't be able to fulfill my duty. "Besides … Ms. Page seems quite interested in this pink diamond set. Do you wish to let her take possession of it?" Jean raised an eyebrow as she listened to his words. Her expression changed subtly. "Is this what Tyler instructed you to tell me? Or do you genuinely feel that way?" "I don't need Mr. Larson's instructions to tell you about this. I understand the situation too. "This pink diamond set is worth two billion. You
The maid noticed that there was a slight change in expression on Jean's face and said softly, "Ms. Michaels, you have a son with Mr. Tyler. If there's a chance for you two to get back together, would you be willing to reconsider it?"Jean raised a brow at that and replied calmly, "I haven't thought about that for the time being."She really hadn't given that question much thought.In fact, she didn't dare think about what the future looked like for her and Tyler.A lot of time had passed, after all. They had both grown tired over the years.Perhaps letting each other go would make a harmonious end for them.If that were to happen, Jean wouldn't have to feel so insecure all the time.She wouldn't have to dwell on the pain and bitterness she had endured the last three years she spent with Tyler.Soon, Jean returned to the study and sat in her chair. Opening her drawing board, she intended to start working.Suddenly, she received a barrage of messages on her phone.She glanced a
Lilian was furious after hearing the news. She blocked all interactions with her social media posts such as likes, shares, and comments.Soon after that, netizens started spreading rumors about her wearing fake goods. Back at Teak Villa, Jean saw how the tables had turned while sitting in her chair. She smiled slightly. She was about to put down her phone when a message came in. "Ms. Michaels, please attend a meeting at Michaels Group tomorrow morning at 9:00 am." After reading the message, Jean suddenly remembered that the group no longer belonged to her dad but to her. She had been so busy with her studio that she forgot about the whole matter. Now that her studio and the workflow was up and running, she should spend time managing the group's work matters. Tyler was the one who hired the group's current acting president. Judging from Tyler's sudden message to Jean, asking her to join the meeting, she suspected that he might be planning to resign. Jean and Ty
After Jean hung up, Yvette turned to the calm Toby beside her. "Jean is not coming into the office this morning," she told her brother. Toby furrowed his brows. He looked unhappy for a brief second before returning to normal. "Stop the car. " The driver didn't dare to disobey Toby's command. He immediately stopped the car at the side of the road. Yvette pursed her lips, unsure of the reason behind Toby's actions. Leaning against the seat, he said, "Get off." The driver was stunned, misunderstanding that Toby wanted him to leave the car. Right when he opened the door, Toby repeated, "Yvette, get off."Yvette froze. She looked at her brother, confused. She took a deep breath and asked him why.Toby looked at his watch and said in a serious tone, "I have a meeting in a while. I'm running late. Go and sit in the bodyguard's car instead."Yvette asked while clenching her jaw slightly, "Are you refusing to send me to the office because Jean won't be in?"Toby agreed c
The media company was initially founded for Joyce. They had actually been in charge of her branding all these years. Not to mention, the company's branding would have been flawless if Joyce hadn't messed things up. After Joyce's incident, the media company started attending to external clients. Now, many entertainment companies were willing to work with the media company as well. William seemed to know what Jean was interested in. After Jean finished her speech, he looked at the bearded guy sitting opposite them. "Mr. Cochran, recently, the media company has topped in its management and benefits among all the other companies under Michaels Group. Why don't you start by introducing the media company's current situation to Ms. Michaels?" Derek Cochran nodded in response. However, he remained seated and said casually, "What do you mean, Mr. Davies? Our company would never be where we are if it wasn't for your guidance." As he continued talking, he handed Jean some documents
After hearing what Jean said, Derek frowned and said in a serious tone, "Glenn still has a significant fan base now. Plus, his fans don't think he did much wrong in the past. "You might be unfamiliar with how the entertainment industry works, Ms. Michaels. As long as a celebrity doesn't do anything illegal, anything can be clarified. Being on the Elstons' blacklist is only temporary." Jean looked exceptionally calm as she listened to what Derek had to say. Actually, what he said was not wrong either. Jean particularly hated Glenn due to what Mrs. Vale did. Plus, Glenn was introduced by Esme. Jean's face fell as she kept quiet. It was evident that Esme had bad intentions by introducing Glenn to Michaels Group's media company. After all, Glenn was troublesome. Transferring him to Michaels Group would be a relief to Esme. Since Glenn had already signed a contract with the media company, there was no turning back. She would also be able to keep a closer eye on him l
