Coleen held her head high and looked at Dorothy without fear.

"If I had been worried about what others would say about me, I wouldn't have come all the way here. Mrs. Michaels, you do know that Joyce and Tyler's marriage is nothing but a contractual arrangement, right? Could it be that you were kept in the dark all this time?" Coleen said.

Jean heard her as she was walking in.

Upon seeing Jean, Coleen looked at her with a mocking glint in her eyes.

"She's just a tool my son keeps around to give blood to another woman."

Dorothy looked over at Jean with a stunned expression on her face.

Jean took a deep breath and walked over. She looked at Coleen and said calmly, "There's no need to bother my family with matters between Tyler and me."

Jean was worried about Joyce's health. Her sister had only just begun to recover a little. Hearing such shocking news might cause her to collapse again.

Coleen smiled, and the derision in her eyes seemed to intensify.

"So it seems that your famil

    Joyce looked gentle. After she finished speaking, she released Jean's hand.Jean walked downstairs after composing herself.The air between Coleen and Dorothy was already extremely tense.Arriving downstairs, Jean regarded Coleen with a steady gaze. "Alright, I'll sign the divorce papers," she said solemnly.A hint of surprise flashed in Coleen's eyes. After Jean returned downstairs, she seemed a lot more confident when she spoke. It puzzled Coleen.Regardless, the fact that Jean had agreed to sign the divorce papers. This meant that Coleen had achieved her goal.

    Jean had gotten used to Dorothy's attitude. She followed behind her as they walked upstairs.Joyce stood in the study with her back to them by the floor-to-ceiling window. She seemed lost in thought.When she walked in, Dorothy shot Jean a disgusted look. She asked in a stern tone, "Joyce, she said that you agreed to the divorce."Joyce did not respond immediately to that question. She remained facing away from them.At Joyce's silence, Dorothy immediately assumed that it was Jean's scheme."Your sister sacrificed so much for our family. Why couldn't you just persevere for a while longer?"Jean furrowed her brows. She stared at Joyce's back darkly. When Joyce still remained quiet, she took a deep breath. She had to hold her emotions back as Dorothy's accusation rang in her ears.The Michaelses placed high importance on personal interest. As such, Jean attempted to persuade them with her words."The Larsons are already planning to have Tyler marry Esme Page. Tyler will sign

    Jean's expression suddenly changed after hearing what Barnabas said.Barnabas had purposely avoided calling out her name. That way, Jean's identity wouldn't be exposed to outsiders.Jean took a deep breath and shot the man a dissatisfied glare before walking to her car.Barnabas had a sinister smile on his face. After watching Jean leave, he made his way into the house.Jean got into the car with a displeased look on her face.She knew that Barnabas had done that deliberately. He wanted to remind her that she had nowhere else to go. All her personal documents were with Dorothy, after all. Even if she did want to leave, Jean had to get her hands on those documents first.Jean took a deep breath. There was a solemn expression on her face.One of the bodyguards got into the driver's seat and started the engine. Just as he was about to drive off, Jean suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to get her handbag when she left.She hurriedly opened the car door and got out. "I for

    Jean bit her lip lightly and calmed her emotions.Anthony looked at her calmly. In a steady tone, he said, "You're living in Mrs. Bennett's retirement home now. Now that you've signed the divorce papers, you're entitled to a house in the southern suburbs. You can move there if you need to."Jean shook her head in response. "I want to go abroad," she said.Anthony's expression remained unchanged. "If that's what you want to do, I can get you the flight tickets."Coleen originally wanted to force Jean abroad but was worried she might not agree to it. Who knew that Jean would bring it up herself?Jean looked at Anthony seriously and said, "I don't want anyone to find me. Can you help me with that?"Anthony hesitated for a moment, not quite understanding what Jean meant. But he saw the determination on her face. Thus, he replied, "Mrs. Larson can help you hide all your information. But the airline you use has to be the one invested by the Larsons."Jean nodded and said firmly, "

    Lilian was a sickly woman. Although she had Tyler's heart, she lacked the capability to handle other matters. As such, Coleen felt relatively at ease.Esme had always expressed her acceptance of Lilian in front of Coleen, so she didn't have many concerns about that.Esme's tolerance would ensure that she married Tyler in the end without causing too much conflict.With such a complicated web of relationships, those who had no one to back them up had to be discarded. This meant that both Jean and Joyce had to leave.Jean and Simone were waiting at the boarding gate inside the airport. They only had one suitcase each, and Jean didn't bring anything else.Having lived in Henkel for so many years, leaving it so suddenly made Jean feel uneasy. Yet, she knew that remaining here would only lead to her doom.There was still half an hour left until boarding. Jean felt her stomach stir uncomfortably and handed the documents to Simone.

    Tyler looked away from Simone. Then, he glanced indifferently at the woman in his arms. There was ice in his eyes.Only after they left the airport did Jean notice it was raining. She hadn't realized that while she was inside.She stared at Tyler's short hair and couldn't help but sigh a little.Tyler made Jean get into the car without saying a word throughout. Jean didn't dare to speak either. Eventually, they arrived at Teak Villa. When she stepped out of the car, Jean noticed that the once-vacant entrance was now filled with bodyguards. There hadn't been guards outside before.She took a deep breath and had a solemn expression on her face.Tyler glanced at her with indifference. He clearly sensed that she was in low spirits. "These are my men. They follow my orders. If my mother comes looking for you next time, you don't have to feel threatened," he said coldly.Jean was taken aback. She raised her head to look at Tyler and found that the fierce look on the man's face fr

    Jean watched as Tyler left, and her expression became solemn. She turned to head back to the bedroom, but a maid hurried out from inside before she could get through the door.Seeing Jean, the maid paused. She quickly reported, "Madam, I've already changed your bedsheets and prepared all your toiletries."Jean nodded and walked inside. Everything in the room had been changed. Even the skincare and makeup products on her dressing table had been replaced with different brands.She furrowed her brow slightly and wondered what tricks Tyler was trying to pull on her.Suddenly, her phone rang. Jean froze for a moment before looking in the direction of the ringing. She saw that the handbag she was left over at the Michaels Residence was lying on the bedside table."The Michaelses sent your bag over. I saw that there were still things inside and thought you might need them. That's why I didn't put it in the storage cabinet with the other items," the maid explained.Jean collected her

    Joyce's tone was calm and confident. It was as if she had already seen through Jean's thoughts.She was right. Jean wouldn't do it.After spending years with Tyler, she had learned too much about their relationship. She knew that Joyce's marriage with Tyler was merely one that was based on superficial interests. Joyce and Tyler did not have the kind of love that Jean had initially imagined.She clenched her phone tightly. Her expression was solemn as she spoke in a low voice, "If you push me too far, I might just let the truth out."Without waiting for Joyce's response, she hung up the call.Joyce tried calling her again, but Jean refused to answer.They had treated her like a tool, not family. Jean no longer felt the need to respect the Michaelses.Joyce's expression darkened, and she angrily threw her phone against the door. The loud noise echoed all the way downstairs.Dorothy hurried upstairs. Upon seeing the shattered phone screen, her expression changed."What's wrong, J

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

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.

    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.

    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.
