Jean knew exactly what happened back then.Tyler had forced Bertha into doing it, and she had no means to refuse him.Now, Dorian had finally returned to her side. It turned out that Tyler had raised her son well over the years.Though Jean still had some regrets over not being able to watch her child grow up, she understood that she needed to let some things go.Furthermore, Simone had treated her well. Bertha had taken good care of her to a certain extent as well.Upon hearing Jean's words, tears welled up in Bertha's eyes.She said weakly, "I'm … I'm sorry for what I did."Jean felt a slight tug at her heartstrings when she heard how weak Bertha sounded.Maintaining her composure, she said, "It's okay, Aunt Bertha. I don't blame you. Please don't dwell on it too much."Bertha nodded gently. She looked incredibly exhausted.Simone had always been a strong person. However, she couldn't help but shed a few tears when she saw how weak her mother was in her current state.When
Upon hearing that, Lilian's expression shifted slightly. Then, she made her way toward the entrance.She pursed her lips at the sight of Tyler. Then, she planted a small smile on her face.As Tyler made his way inside, an assailant wielding a knife suddenly emerged from the crowd.Lilian sensed that something was off and immediately rushed forward to shield Tyler.The unexpected turn of events left everyone stunned.Tyler's expression changed abruptly when he saw Lilian collapse in front of him. He reached out to hold her and exclaimed, "Lilian!"Lilian had only fallen a few feet away from Jean.Jean watched in bewilderment as Lilian fell to the floor.Lilian held a hand over her knife wound. Her complexion was pale, yet she was still able to summon a faint smile for Tyler. "I'm fine, Tyler. No need to worry," she reassured him softly.Chris was the first to react. He quickly removed the knife from the assailant's grip. With the assistance of others, he managed to subdue the a
When Chris arrived at the hospital, Lilian was still in the emergency room.Due to Lilian's rare blood type, there wasn't enough blood for her in the hospital's blood bank.A nurse hurriedly left the emergency room to make a phone call to the nurse's station.After making inquiries, it turned out that other hospitals also had limited stock of Lilian's blood type.None were willing to spare what they had as they needed it for their own hospitals as well.Lilian had lost a significant amount of blood after the stabbing. Without a timely transfusion, her life could be at risk.Tyler's expression darkened significantly when he got the update from the medical staff.Chris stood quietly on the side, not daring to speak.Tyler ordered with a grave expression, "Get her here."Chris was taken aback for a moment."Are you talking about Joyce Michaels, sir?" he asked.Tyler nodded. "Yeah. Who else?"Upon hearing that, Chris secretly breathed a sigh of relief.Tyler had made the right
Jean was taken aback when she heard that.She asked, "Did he say anything else?"Since Tyler couldn't reach her on her phone, Jean had expected him to contact the maid.She truly believed that there was more to the conversation than that.The maid shook her head. "No, he didn't say anything else."The maid expressed her concern and added, "Ms. Michaels, did something serious happen? I could hear a lot of commotion on Mr. Larson's end just now."Jean pursed her lips and explained, "Someone tried to attack Tyler today. It was a family member of the deceased from the chemical factory explosion."The maid looked both shocked and worried. "How is Mr. Larson doing?" she asked.Shaking her head, Jean replied, "He's not hurt, but Lilian got injured."After checking the time, Jean said, "I need to go pick up Dorian now. Please make sure to only have familiar faces around Teak Villa. Make sure to fire all the new household staff who started working here recently. Pay them a month's wag
Joce didn't care that Tyler was mad at her.She knew that her efforts to gain his favor over the years had all been in vain. There was no hope for them to have a future together.During her time in prison, Joyce had learned to become more composed.After the medical staff drew enough blood from her, the guards led Joyce away.Joyce followed the guards and looked back at Tyler. "Mr. Larson, don't forget your promise to me. If you don't help me, I can't guarantee that I won't reveal the truth to Jean," she said in a low voice.Before Joyce could say anything more, the guards immediately urged her to leave.Chris turned toward Tyler. "Sir, I got the patent."Tyler sighed and said, "Give it to her."After nodding, Chris left to do as he was told.Lilian was wheeled out of the emergency room two hours later.When she arrived in her ward, she gradually began to regain consciousness.Lilian seemed a bit disoriented when she opened her eyes. She gazed at the ceiling for a moment bef
Lilian smiled softly at Coleen's words. "You've misunderstood me, Mrs. Larson. I only saved Tyler out of natural instinct. I don't want to be owed anything."The Larsons aren't indebted to me. This was out of my own free will."Coleen raised her eyebrows slightly.Lilian had grown greatly.If Esme were like this before, she would've married into the Larsons a long time ago.At the thought of Esme, Coleen felt a headache. Her expression darkened.Lilian knew that Coleen didn't really like her. She had to be calm and composed. She couldn't let herself slip.Judy looked at Coleen and said, "Let's leave her to rest. We'll talk about this in the future."Lilian pursed her lips slightly.News of Lilian taking a knife for Tyler quickly spread in their circle.Some people said that Lilian could use this chance to marry into the Larsons.Lilian and Tyler's relationship was not a secret in the industry.Lilian had not had the chance to marry Tyler because Coleen had always prevented
Yvette would grab every opportunity she got to matchmake Jean and Toby, as if there was no market for Toby.Jean was amused by Yvette's eagerness. She said half-jokingly, "That's not entirely out of the question."After all, Toby was a brilliant person.If Jean wanted to start afresh, Toby would be a good person to pick.However, Jean did not have these thoughts as of yet.Sometimes, men would only cause headaches.Yvette's eyes shone at once. "Really?"Jean smiled. "Not at all. Go to work, quick."The smile on Yvette's face vanished at once. She said dejectedly, "I thought you meant it."Smiling, Jean said, "You should focus on your own matters first before thinking about your brother."Yvette's expression shifted as she replied, "I plan to stay single. I don't want to marry."Jean raised her eyebrows at that and said, "That's my plan too."Yvette was speechless.The weather was growing colder in Henkel.Jean developed a cold at night. She had a stuffy nose and couldn't
Lilian was rendered speechless. She stared at Jean in disbelief.Right as she was about to drop the act, Lilian saw Tyler, who was walking over. She suppressed her emotions and said, "Everything has gone back to square one, Ms. Michaels."Tyler and I grew up together. Nothing will change that no matter how much you interfere."Lilian then looked at Tyler with a smile. She slowly walked toward him. "I want to go to the backyard, Tyler. Come with me."Tyler ignored her and went straight to Jean's side. When he saw the medicine in her hands, he frowned. "Are you unwell?"After her miscarriage, Jean's body became weak.Tyler couldn't help but worry now that she was in the hospital.Jean looked down at the medicine in her hands and pursed her lips, nodding slightly. "Yes, I have a cold."She glanced at Lilian, who looked upset. "Lilian is waiting for you. Go accompany her."Lilian bit her lip, but she stared at Tyler while pretending to be mature about it."It's alright, Tyler. If
