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

    Barnabas appeared confident. "Don't worry, Dorothy. I'll make sure not the harm her baby."After saying that, he left with a determined look on his face.Dorothy felt conflicted as she watched her brother's retreating figure. Jean hadn't contributed much to the family in her three years living with the Larsons. She was also not as talented as Joyce. Dorothy wasn't as close to her either.Jean had been raised by her grandmother. Thus, she had many habits similar to Dorothy's mother-in-law. That was why she didn't like her very much. Dorothy's relationship with Jean hadn't been particularly close since bringing her back.If she had to choose between Jean and Joyce, there was no doubt in her mind that Joyce would be her first pick.Meanwhile, at Teak Villa, Jean hadn't answered any calls from Joyce after the fallout. Even Dorothy had called her a few times. But their conversation turned sour in the end. As such, Jean blocked both of their calls altogether.She knew that death

    Dorothy was flustered for a moment.Jean's gaze remained indifferent as she glanced at her. She saw Dorothy's pensive expression, but she merely said softly, "If there's nothing else you want, I'll head back inside now."She turned to walk back inside Teak VIlla. However, Dorothy quickly grabbed her hand."Wait, don't leave. I have something very important to discuss with you," she said.Jean paused and looked at her."What could possibly be that important?"Dorothy furrowed her brows, feeling somewhat puzzled by Jean's change in attitude toward her."It has to do with you switching back to your former self."Jean's eyes flashed with derision as they looked deeply into Dorothy's. Jean knew that Dorothy and Joyce must be more anxious than her over this. "In that case, come in," Jean said. Then, she glanced at the bodyguards at the gate and said in a firm tone, "I'll talk to Tyler about this."The bodyguards looked hesitant. However, the head of security suddenly approached

    Not long after Dorothy left, Tyler rushed back.Jean had just finished her meal. She was about to head upstairs to rest when she heard Tyler's footsteps. She turned her head and saw Tyler walk in with a briefcase in his hand.His face was expressionless. However, a hint of displeasure could be seen when he gazed at her."Did your mother come to see you today?"Jean took a deep breath and remembered that she needed Tyler's approval to attend the music festival. After a moment's hesitation, she walked downstairs toward him."Yes. It's to discuss my comeback," she said calmly as she took the briefcase from Tyler. She was going to leave soon, so she couldn't afford to have any disagreements with Tyler in the meantime. It might lead to unnecessary complications later on.Tyler lowered his gaze toward her. There was a playful look on his face. He lazily loosened his tie with a faint smile on his lips."A comeback?" he asked.Jean nodded. "Yes. I've been on a hiatus for three whole

    The Lunas Music Festival began as planned.Jean agreed to Tyler's request and set out from Teak Villa with a couple of bodyguards.The dress she wore was one specially sent to her from the Michaelses.When she arrived at the entrance of the Lunas Club, Jean noticed Dorothy already waiting for her. Barnabas was standing next to her as well.When Barnabas spotted Jean, he strode over and extended an arm toward her."Joyce, let me walk you inside."Jean glanced at his outstretched arm with a hint of indifference.In the past, Joyce would show up at these events on Barnabas' arm and with Dorothy by her side.Back then, Jean couldn't help but envy Joyce's look of happiness and the attention she received from the Michaelses. But now, she did not reach out to take Barnabas' hand. Instead, she walked into the club herself.Barnabas' expression darkened as he awkwardly retracted his arm.Dorothy glanced at Barnabas and whispered, "Don't do anything rash.

    Jean sat quietly in her seat and calmly watched the arrogant Sydney onstage.Dorothy gritted her teeth in frustration. Her displeasure was evident on her face."This annoying bitch," she muttered under her breath. Then, she clenched her teeth and glanced at Jean, sitting beside her with an emotionless expression."You learned to play the piano alongside your sister back then, didn't you? Please don't prove to me that you're a complete waste of space. Go ahead." Dorothy gestured for Jean to go onstage.However, Jean remained seated. Her gaze was indifferent as she said calmly, "You told everyone that I wasn't feeling well. If I go up there and play now, won't it just prove you wrong?"Dorothy furrowed her brows. She gritted her teeth in frustration at Jean's cold demeanor."This woman's your sister's biggest competitor. If you don't go up there now, she'll definitely make up something to try and sabotage your sister's status." Jean glanced at Dorothy indifferently. She whispered

    Barnabas' appearance made Jean wary. She glanced at the floor. It was obvious that whatever she had slipped on had been deliberately placed there.There was no doubt in her mind that Barnabas was behind it."You—" Barnabas reached out and covered Jean's mouth, stopping her from finishing. "You want to get away from Tyler as soon as you can, right? This is the quickest way," he said in a low voice.Jean furrowed her brows. It turned out that they were willing to injure her foot to help Joyce and her switch identities as soon as possible.She clenched her teeth and glared at the man with resentment. Outside the restroom, the bodyguards seemed to sense that something was off. The head of security said from outside, "Madam, are you alright?"Barnabas glanced at her and warned, "I think you're clear on what to say now, right?"After letting go of Jean, he hid inside one of the restroom stalls.The head of security's voice rang out again. "Madam, can we come in?"Jean took a deep breath

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

    Robin's call managed to go through, but no one answered her call even after a long while.Robin gradually tightened the grip she had on her phone. 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. His tone was tinged with a hint of exhaustion.Upon hearing his voice, Robin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.Seeing that Terence had ended up answering her call, she supposed there weren't any problems to worry about."Yeah, I haven't gone to sleep yet. I'm still—"Robin was about to tell Terence that she was still at the hospital.However, Terence quickly interjected, "I'm still at the hospital now."Upon hearing Terence's words, Robin unconsciously tightened her grip on her phone.

    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. He turned the engine on and drove off to the hospital to visit Monica.  Robin stood in the cor
