Seeing how serious she was, Tyler frowned. Although he felt confused, he controlled his emotions."Alright."After Tyler went back into his ward, Jean followed him in and said, "I want you to care for Dorian for a while."Tyler was stunned.Back then, Jean refused to give up on her parental rights no matter what.But now, she was entrusting Dorian to him.He didn't understand why Jean would do this, and confusion was written all over his face."Why?"After taking a deep breath, she looked at him and said, "Because I've decided to start a new life."She pursed her lips and looked at him with sincerity, saying, "Toby confessed to me today. But his family will never let me marry him with a child."That's why I was wondering if you could take care of Dorian."Tyler's expression shifted at once. Coldly, he asked, "So you're giving up on your parental rights for Toby?"Jean took a deep breath and said, "I'm not giving them up. I just want you to take care of him for a while. When
When Jean heard him say that, she felt as though her heart was bleeding. She felt miserable.However, she had to resist the tears from falling.Tyler wasn't that much better.He was controlling himself hard too.He was suppressing the urge to hurt this woman.He clenched his fists once more."Go away. Don't you ever appear before Dorian again."Jean took a deep breath. "Alright. I know that I'm in the wrong, Tyler. But please, take care of Dorian. And please take up my duty well too."Tyler looked at her coldly, his eyes red. When he heard her say that, his eyes were full of mockery."Don't put on an act in front of me, Jean. If you can give him up, it shows that you don't love him as much. You're going to explain this to Dorian after you leave. And you'd better not traumatize him."Jean pursed her lips as she looked at Tyler. Regret flashed through her eyes. She was hesitant, but she said, "I've already told Dorian about it. I …"Right after she said that, Tyler grabbed the
Jean was comforting herself all the way back.Tyler loved Dorian, so the child would not suffer by his side.Jean knew that Dorian was in good hands.On top of that, she and Dorian had promised to always keep in touch.Although she wouldn't be able to see him, this was the only thing that Jean could do so that he would not lose his father.The driver saw that Jean's eyes were red and swollen as she walked out crying.He couldn't help feeling worried.He was the Larson family's driver. He'd worked for them for many years.Jean was the most genuine madam he'd ever met.He couldn't bear to see her crying so pitifully in the back seat."I believe that Mr. Larson will understand your efforts one day, Ms. Michaels."Jean wiped away her tears, saying, "As long as he recovers, it doesn't matter."She and Tyler had nothing to do with each other since the start.Meanwhile, in the ward, Tyler was incredibly heartbroken seeing Dorian cry.Bending down slowly, he scooped Dorian into h
Jean agreed to it at once. "I'll see her whenever I can."Coleen sighed in relief. "Thank you so much."Jean pursed her lips. She wanted to say something more, but then Coleen said, "Tyler has just come out from his treatment. I'll hang up for now."With that, the call ended.Jean looked at the call log, sighing.At least things were developing in the right direction.She collected her emotions and went to the studio.Yvette was handling the storyboarding for Jean. She went to work with puffy eyes every day."When will the heart-wrenching scenes end, Jean? My heart can't take it anymore."Jean looked at Yvette's glimmering eyes and pursed her lips. "It should be soon."After taking a deep breath, Yvette swiped at her eyes. "Soon."Jean nodded.Toby had not been sending Yvette over to the studio recently.He used to do that every day.Jean wanted to talk to him about the plot for Heroes.She'd gone over the plot yesterday when she was bored, and she had found a plot hole.
Noting how calm Toby was, Yvette checked her phone before texting him."You must come back early, Toby. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."Toby read Yvette's message. His gaze stilled as he typed out a curt response."Got it."Once Yvette received his reply, she secretly exhaled in relief and drove off.After finishing her work at the studio, Jean went to Michaels Group for a meeting.By keeping herself busy, she would not need to head back to Teak Villa so soon.Jean was still unused to the lack of Dorian's presence in Teak Villa.She had to keep herself busy to avoid overthinking.During the meeting, Derek suggested casting Glenn in Heroes.Derek's eager recommendation of Glenn made Jean's expression turn cold. She said grimly, "Glenn Sotheby isn't signed to our company. We should be reserving our best projects for our own celebrities."You should really change your habit of siding with outsiders, Mr. Cochran."Jean openly voiced her dissatisfaction.Derek stiffe
Recently, the Larsons had been selling off their assets.Rumors had spread across the entire industry.Some said the Larsons were done for, while others said the family was cashing out their assets before heading abroad to invest their money.All kinds of theories abounded.Timothy knew that Jean was someone who kept her emotions to herself. Thus, when he saw the way she threw herself into her work, he did not feel good about it. "Jean, here's this month's progress report."Timothy passed the monthly progress report to Jean."Got it."Jean took the progress report from him with an impassive expression.She pored over the information, leaving no stone unturned.Timothy was good at running a business. Otherwise, he would not have been able to build Michaels Group up to its present heights.After reading the report, Jean's expression was even more indifferent."Good job," she said unemotionally.Then, she closed the folder and handed it back to Timothy.Jean remarked, "Mr.
Jean had repeated herself. No matter how tough Derek was, his expression changed this time."Ms. Michaels, do you really think I'm scared of you? I personally fostered many celebrities of Michaels Group's media company," he scoffed.Jean coolly replied, "Many of the celebrities under your management left the company eventually. I'm sure you're even more aware of the issue behind that, Mr. Cochran."Derek's expression shifted ever so slightly.Jean picked up the report on her desk and tossed it back to Derek."You don't seem to be aware of your position yet, Mr. Cochran," she commented grimly. "Take your report and get out. Come and see me when you've figured it out."Jean's arrogance made Derek's expression harden. He glared icily at her and took a deep breath before snarling, "Let's hope you never have to regret what you've done today, Jean."She eyed him impassively. His forceful retort did not rattle her.As if nothing had happened, Jean continued to stare calmly at Derek an
Jean was startled to see him, but moments later, she began to smile faintly."Mr. Jacobs."When Toby saw Jean approaching, he smiled and came over to her.Jean was still holding her jacket. Toby glanced at it before taking her briefcase from her and saying, "Put your jacket on first. It's getting cold. You might get sick again."Toby calmly took Jean's briefcase from her. It was as if it had been his job to do it in the first place.At first, Jean was startled, but she soon nodded in agreement.After putting on her jacket, she wanted to take her briefcase back from Toby."You can give it back to me now," she said softly.Yet, Toby did not pass the briefcase back to Jean. He simply said, "You overworked yourself today. I'm sure you're exhausted. I'll help you carry your briefcase. It's not a big deal."Upon hearing that, Jean chuckled and said, "I don't feel that tired."At the very least, she liked this workaholic side of her.Toby chuckled at her reaction. "I never thought
