If Miriam could resolve the inheritance matter now, Jean's mission would be complete. She wouldn't have to accompany Toby to Jacobs Residence again.The atmosphere in the Jacobs family was heavy and uncomfortable.After ending the call, Toby walked out and cast an indifferent glance at Finn. "Let's go. Haven't you been eager to redistribute the assets?"Clenching his fist, Finn swung it at Toby.Toby wiped the blood from his lip, his expression darkening. He grabbed Finn's collar, and the two of them began fighting each other.Hearing the commotion, Miriam immediately stepped in. "Stop it! What on earth are you two trying to do? Do you wish for my death that much?"Jean noticed that the two men were too caught up in their fight. If Miriam were to intervene, she would surely be caught in the crossfire. At Miriam's age, she would definitely not be able to walk away easily if she was hurt.Jean immediately said, "Grandma, please stay here. I'll go and break up the fight. You don't
Jean had intended to leave but hesitated when she remembered that Dorian was also the heir of a wealthy family.She unconsciously walked toward Finn.When Finn lifted his head, he saw Jean extending her hand toward him.Upon seeing Jean's hand, Finn's expression darkened. "Are you here to watch me make a fool of myself?"Jean remained indifferent. "We are not on bad terms, Mr. Finn. I won't rub salt on your wounds."Furrowing his brows, he gazed deeply at Jean before he reluctantly placed his hand in hers.Jean pulled Finn to his feet. After he stood up, Jean quickly withdrew her hand.She walked away, her expression indifferent.Finn stared at Jean's retreating figure and was left in a daze for a long time.When Jean approached, Miriam had already helped Toby treat the wound on his lip.Toby looked at Jean. "Were you injured just now?"He looked at Jean with concern.Jean gently shook her head. "No. Don't you have other matters to attend to? Let's go back."Nodding, Toby
Miriam's expression turned cold, and her gaze sharpened.She glanced at Elena, who immediately said, "Mom, I've been with you for so many years and have never done anything to harm you. Don't you trust me?"Miriam coldly snorted and looked at the maid. "If you knew about it, why didn't you inform the butler earlier?"The maid grew fearful at Miriam's question. "I did consider it, but because she said it jokingly, I wasn't sure if she was serious."The maid had a good relationship with Elena, and she didn't dare to say too much even if she knew something.Miriam's condition had been worsening, and Elena was next in line as the head of the family. She didn't want to lose her job over a couple of jokes.Miriam's face darkened as she turned to the butler. "Keep me updated on the situation at the police station. Make sure to get her to talk and find out who ordered her to do this."Elena pursed her lips, not daring to retort.This was the first time Aria had seen Miriam angry. She s
Toby had consistently provided financial support for the entire family, yet his contributions went largely unacknowledged.Elena even constantly referred to him as a bastard!Upon hearing Miriam's words, Elena's expression turned somewhat grim.Elena was aware that they wouldn't receive anything if Miriam decided to revise her will. "You old fool! If Mr. Jacobs Senior were still alive, he'd never forgive you for this. Finn is the first-born grandson of the Jacobs family!" she spat.Miriam was even more upset to hear Elena mention Henry at this juncture. In a heated tone, she retorted, "These assets belong to me, so I'm the one who gets to decide what happens to them. Who are you to dictate my actions?"You claim that Henry was so fond of Finn. So why did he only bequeath 5% of the dividend shares to Finn before his death? It's because he knows that you've already spoiled Finn rotten! I won't let you undermine what Henry worked so hard to build."After uttering these words, Miriam
Aria's expression began to shift when she saw Finn getting upset with her.She came from a privileged background, so she clearly couldn't endure such treatment. By the looks of it, it was possible that Finn wouldn't be inheriting his family's assets.Gritting her teeth, she immediately stormed off with her stuff.Elena's expression involuntarily changed when she saw that Finn had actually driven Aria away. "Finn, how could you tell her to leave?"Aria was the Weston family's only child. If Elena and Finn couldn't benefit from the Jacobses, they could still find opportunities with the Westons.Elena already had it all planned out.Now that Finn had driven Aria away, there was a chance the Westons would call the wedding off if they were to hear about the Jacobs family's current situation.Elena expressed her disappointment by swatting Finn's arm and saying, "You've really screwed this up, Finn."…Jean followed Toby as they took Miriam to the hospital.Miriam was genuinely
Jean watched as Miriam went on and on, almost as if she were settling affairs before her death.Perhaps it was because the sleeping pill incident had made her cautious.Jean, as an outsider, felt it wasn't appropriate to listen to so many of the Jacobs family's secrets. Thus, she walked out of Miriam's hospital ward.She slowly walked over to the hospital's backyard, where several patients were out for a stroll.She sat down on a chair and rubbed between her brows with her fingers.Jean thought about calling Coleen but hesitated, knowing it might be the middle of the night on her end. She didn't want to disturb her.Dorian had said that Tyler hadn't regained consciousness and they didn't know when he would wake up.While Jean was lost in thought, someone suddenly appeared beside her.She turned to look and saw that it was Finn who had sat down next to her.Jean was still wary of him.After Finn sat down, she immediately got up to leave. However, he suddenly grabbed her hand a
Finn's mysterious reply caused Jean to furrow her brows involuntarily.After walking a considerable distance, Finn turned to find Jean seated in her previous spot. A trace of mockery flickered in his eyes.He had achieved his goal, regardless of whether she and Toby were genuinely in a relationship or faking it.After all, there was indeed bad blood between Toby and the Larson family.Jean lingered there for quite a while before returning to Miriam's hospital ward.Toby was about to send someone to look for Jean when he noticed her returning."Jean, where were you just now?" Jean saw him looking at her with a concerned expression. Her gaze slightly changed, and she said softly, "I was in the backyard just now. Has everything been settled on Grandma's side?"Toby nodded. "Yes, it's all taken care of."Jean nodded in response.Noticing that her expression seemed a bit off, he asked, "Are you okay?"Jean pursed her lips and forced a smile. "I want to return to Henkel," she sof
Jean looked at Toby and took a deep breath. She briefly considered asking if Toby had deliberately approached her back in Resovia. However, she dismissed the thought as absurd.Back then, there had been no connection between her and Tyler, so Toby couldn't have saved her because of him. After all, at that time, Joyce had been by Tyler's side.Jean inhaled deeply, steadying her emotions. "It's nothing. I just think that fate works in mysterious ways."Nodding gently, Toby said, "Yes, I never expected to meet you either."Jean pursed her lips, unsure how to respond to his words. Looking at the time, she said, "I should go now. It's almost boarding time."Toby nodded and watched her enter the airport.After Jean went in, he immediately took out his phone and called Yvette."Jean is returning to Henkel today. Grandma is doing well, so you don't need to come back." Yvette replied, sounding a bit perplexed, "Wasn't she planning to return to Henkel with you? Why did she suddenly
