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
Derek was never one to back down from others.When he was first entrusted with managing the media company, the company had been nothing.Now, the media company had made remarkable progress. Derek saw this as something he had achieved all by himself.As such, it was only natural that he didn't take any suggestions put forth by Jean seriously.Sensing the tension in the air, William said, "If a company wants to achieve long-term growth, it's clear that it needs to have its own dedicated team to bring in the revenue. Ms. Michaels isn't wrong."When Jean saw that Derek still looked displeased, she smiled and added, "Mr. Cochran, you've been in this industry for years, so you naturally understand that. As compared to you, I'm the one who's short on knowledge when it comes to things like this."Upon hearing Jean's self-deprecating remark, Derek's mood somewhat lifted. "I've actually considered that issue before, but that thought was put on hold due to financial constraints. Now that
Jean closed all the documents and looked over to William. She said, "This time, I'll pay special attention to the media company." After all, the media company was currently the only subsidiary that could bring profit to Michaels Group. If anything went wrong there, Michaels Group might be in trouble again. William nodded and replied, "I'll keep an eye on Mr. Cochran's side as well." Jean nodded, checked the time, and then stood up from her seat. She said softly, "I need to return to the office this afternoon, so I won't stay here any longer. I'm entrusting Michaels Group to you." William nodded and looked at Jean calmly as he walked her out the meeting room. On the other hand, Dorothy, holding a broom, was about to enter the meeting room to clean it up. When she saw Jean coming out of the meeting room, her expression changed. She asked, "Jean, why are you here?" Jean frowned slightly when she saw Dorothy holding a broom. Considering what Dorothy had men
Dorothy saw hope in Jean's words and nodded right away, saying, "Trust me, Jean. I can handle it. I won't embarrass you."Jean stayed cool and glanced at William. He had already caught on to what Jean meant the moment she came up with the suggestion. "Jean, are you thinking of putting Mrs. Michaels in the media company?" William asked. Jean nodded, stating, "The media company is crucial for Michaels Group. Lilian had Glenn join the media company, which proves Mr. Cochran's trust in her." She continued, "I don't want Michaels Group's media company helping out Page Co." Dorothy chimed in, "Jean, don't worry. Leave it to me. I'll make sure I do a great job. You need someone from your own family in such an important role."Jean smiled when she heard what Dorothy said. She responded, "You're right about that." Then, she pointed out, "But you might not know the current situation at the media company. You need to make your way there. I won't give you any special treatment,
Dorothy nodded and said, "Jean, even if you don't trust me, you should trust your dad. He's good at this." Jean nodded calmly. Both Timothy and Dorothy were eager to get good jobs now. Jean had previously ignored them because they didn't bring any value to her. But now, she had some use for Dorothy. After leaving her with some brief instructions, Jean left. Seeing her off at the elevator, Dorothy looked at Jean and cautiously mentioned, "Jean, now that you're divorced from Tyler, you need to take care of yourself and the kid ..." Jean listened without showing any emotion and nodded. "Yeah, I know." Then, she walked into the elevator. As the elevator doors closed, she still saw the longing in Dorothy's eyes through the gap. Jean frowned slightly. Seeing Dorothy like this reminded her of her past. She used to desperately seek Dorothy's approval, hoping for the kind of care she gave to Joyce. Over the years, she had transformed from that unloved girl into someone who
