Since Natalie Young was a top-tier celebrity and popular actress, the financial losses involved would probably amount to eight figures.Jean rubbed her temples and asked softly, "Your brother is really generous, huh?"Leaning in, Yvette whispered, "I heard from the people in my brother's company that a paparazzo sent those photos to his company and demanded 40 million dollars as hush money. But Toby wasn't cowed. He refused the offer."Jean was surprised to hear this. She didn't expect that someone would dare to blackmail Toby. She figured the other party was probably a prominent figure among the paparazzi.Seeing the surprise on Jean's face, Yvette continued, "Jean, my brother is very skilled at handling public opinion. You can rest assured that whenever you're with him, what has happened before won't happen to you again."When Jean and Tyler were together in the past, she had experienced an onslaught of criticisms online due to her connection with Joyce.Even now, some of Joyce
Tyler gazed out the window with a calm expression and hummed in acknowledgment."Take good care of him. Make sure he isn't mistreated," he added.Coleen knew that Tyler was still concerned about the incident with Jean.She took a deep breath, ready to reveal the truth. But just before she could, Olivia entered the room.Olivia walked over to Tyler's bedside to check on his condition. After checking, she breathed a sigh of relief."I knew the surgery would be a success. I knew for sure that you wouldn't encounter any issues," she said cheerfully.Tyler looked at Olivia with an emotionless expression.Olivia noticed his cold gaze and frowned. "Tyler, are you in pain?"Tyler shook his head. The pounding headache was making it difficult to speak at the moment.Olivia let out a sigh of relief before saying in a low voice, "If you do feel any pain, you have to let me know."After that, she turned her gaze toward Coleen. "Aunt Coleen, you've been here all night. You should head back
When Coleen heard what Olivia said, an expression of disbelief crossed her eyes."That's …"She tightened her grip on the phone as she looked at the news articles and photos on the screen.Even though Coleen found it hard to believe, she had no choice but to accept it as the truth.Jean had no connection to the Jacobses before this, after all.Moreover, she had been in close contact with Toby recently.The fact that Toby had taken Jean to visit Jacobs Residence indicated that they had an intimate relationship.Coleen took a deep breath, her expression turning solemn.Olivia retrieved her phone from Coleen without saying much. "Aunt Coleen, please be careful on your way back," she said.Nodding, Coleen sighed as she left.She understood that revealing to Tyler what Jean had done at this moment could lead to consequences similar to before.Coleen's heart was heavy with concern.If Jean were to marry Toby, her future interactions with Dorian might be limited.After all, the J
Tyler furrowed his brows slightly and replied in a cold tone, "No."He answered indifferently, then shifted his gaze away from Olivia."You should go to sleep now. I'm fine like this," he said.Olivia did as Tyler asked. She withdrew her hand and let Tyler lay in his current position.Then, she said calmly, "If you need anything, feel free to let me know. Tyler, I'm your personal physician now. Taking care of you is my job. You don't have to be polite with me."Without waiting for Tyler's response, she closed her eyes.She had no intention of waiting for Tyler's reply.…Jean headed to Michaels Group in Henkel after finishing her work in the studio.Recently, Michaels Group had been developing rapidly.Given the company's involvement in the entertainment industry, they needed to expand themselves to better locations.Timothy had long suggested relocating the company's main headquarters to Dortsham. He suggested that the one established in Henkel function as an additional bra
At this moment, Toby gently withdrew his hand from Timothy's tight grip and discreetly wiped his hand with a towel.Then, he said to Jean, "The car's just outside. Let's continue our conversation in the car."Jean nodded in agreement.Timothy quickly followed them to the car.In the car, Timothy tried his best to engage Toby in conversation.However, his attempt to suck up to Toby made Jean feel very uncomfortable.If it weren't for the fact that Timothy might be needed to handle certain business matters in Dortsham in the future, Jean wouldn't have wanted to bring him along.His ulterior motives were too obvious.Toby had met his fair share of suck-ups. As such, he was well aware of what was going on in Timothy's mind at that moment.Sighing, Jean turned to gaze out of the window. She hardly spoke throughout the journey.Yvette reached out and held Jean's hand, seemingly understanding what she was feeling.Jean smiled slightly, and the irritation on her face subsided a litt
Nodding, Jean followed Toby to his car.Throughout the journey, Yvette kept telling Jean about some interesting things about Dortsham while Jean listened quietly.Toby had some work to attend to. After dropping Jean and Yvette off at their destination, he left.Seeing that Jean seemed lost in thought after Toby left, Yvette teased, "Jean, my brother doesn't have time for you today, but I do. You don't have to look so dejected."Yvette said all that with a smile on her face. Jean was briefly taken aback but responded with a smile, "I was thinking about something else."Smiling, Yvette leaned closer."You were thinking about Toby, weren't you?" she said.Jean raised an eyebrow and shot her friend a small smile. "No, I wasn't," she replied.Yvette's guess had been correct. It was true that whatever was on her mind was related to Toby.But it wasn't anything good.Taking a deep breath, Jean continued to stroll with Yvette.After Toby finished his work, he mentioned something abo
After hearing what Jean had said, Toby nodded and said calmly, "If you move to Dortsham, we can watch each other's backs."He continued, "My grandmother's health isn't doing great, and I can't visit Henkel all that often. If we spend too little time together, we'll probably have to explain ourselves to others."You should seriously consider moving here."After taking a deep breath, Jean said in a solemn tone, "But if I move to the capital, won't that mean the connection to your mother in Henkel will be severed?"At least with Jean in Henkel, she could stay informed of the situation.Toby gazed at Jean with a serious expression. "My mother wasn't last seen in Henkel. She was actually last seen at Jacobs Residence."Upon hearing this, Jean's expression changed suddenly."Does that mean her disappearance has nothing to do with the Larsons?"Wynetta had disappeared in Dortsham. The Larsons had been developing their business exclusively in Henkel, so they had little involvement wi
Jean got out of the elevator when she reached the floor her room was on.Toby's presidential suite was located on the top floor, so he remained in the elevator.After Jean stepped out, she turned and bade farewell to him."I'm going to call it a night, then."Toby nodded calmly. "Sweet dreams."Jean nodded in response as the elevator doors closed. She couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Then, she turned to walk toward her room.Upon reaching her door, she entered the code to open it. Just as she opened it, she spotted a man standing inside.Jean was startled by the man's sudden appearance.Upon seeing him, she furrowed her brows."How did you get into my room?" she asked.When Finn saw her, he smiled warmly and said, "I heard that you were staying at our family's hotel, so I came to pay you a visit. I didn't think you'd actually be here."Jean took a deep breath, looking incredibly uneasy. Her gaze turned cold as she regarded Finn sternly."Please leave," she said in a l
