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
Toby furrowed his brows, and his expression turned solemn. He said sternly to the hotel staff, "Who leaked the information about Ms. Michaels' stay here to Finn?"The staff from the reception desk lowered their heads, not daring to respond to Toby's question.Jean noticed the fearful and anxious expression on their faces. It was clear that they were unwilling to reveal the culprit. Turning to Toby, she said in a low voice, "Separate them and question each of them individually. We might obtain more information that way."Jean's voice was calm, and her pale complexion slightly improved as she regained her composure.Upon hearing Jean's suggestion, Toby glanced over at his assistant.Catching Toby's gaze, his assistant immediately took the hotel staff and separated them for questioning.Timothy stood by Jean's side, observing Toby's stern expression.He had initially thought of dropping the matter since it was Toby's hotel. However, upon learning that Finn Jacobs was the intruder i
Upon hearing what Jean said, surprise crossed the hotel manager's eyes."Ms. Michaels …"No matter how one looked at the situation, Finn was a member of the Jacobs family. Reporting such an incident to the authorities might cause quite a stir.Jean's lips curved into a small smile as she replied calmly, "What's the matter? You don't want to do it?"The hotel manager shook his head and replied immediately, "That's not it, Ms. Michaels. I just think that reporting this incident might cause a lot of problems. It'll affect the hotel's operations."Indifferent, she said in a stern voice, "I'm a guest here now. A man suddenly appeared in my room and even tried to threaten me. As the hotel's manager, shouldn't you ensure the safety of your customers and report such issues promptly?"The hotel manager froze as he listened to Jean's words.Although Jean looked gentle and elegant, she was unexpectedly assertive. Sweat began to form on the hotel manager's forehead.Jean handed her phone t
The people around Finn had no idea about what just happened.However, Finn was acutely aware of the situation. He honestly hadn't expected Jean to make such a bold move and report the incident to the authorities.Finn cooperated fully and left with the police officers. Many people watched him leave. Finn remained composed, even smiling as he addressed the onlookers."Tonight's drinks are on me!" he declared brashly before walking away.As Finn stepped out of the nightclub, he could hear cheers echo inside. He let out a small smirk, seemingly unbothered about his current situation.After switching to a different room, Jean learned that Finn had been taken into custody.Her expression remained unchanged. After all, the Jacobses were very influential in Dortsham. It was unlikely that Finn would face any severe consequences.…On the next day, Jean chose to ignore the incident with Finn and began to pick out a location for Michaels Group's new establishment.With Toby's help, she
Inside the private room, Yvette sat on Toby's left. She gazed at him deeply and asked, "Toby, the office building earlier was yours, wasn't it?"Keeping calm, Toby said, "Yes, it was."Hearing this, Yvette immediately said, "Then why didn't you just tell Jean that it was yours? Why'd you involve a real estate agent?"Maintaining his composure, he replied in a low voice, "You won't understand. Just please keep quiet about this and stop asking so many questions."Yvette pursed her lips upon hearing his response. Then, she asked, "So should our studio be located nearby as well? I heard there's a Glendale-style architectural workspace near the office building. You're planning to place us there, then?"Toby hummed in affirmation.When Timothy entered the room, he saw Yvette looking at Toby excitedly.He smiled slightly and took a seat across from Toby.Yvette quickly gestured for Jean to sit next to Toby.She said, "Jean, Toby has already found a place for us to move our studio. It
Timothy deeply regretted his past actions. However, regret couldn't change anything. It was clear that Jean had no intention of forgiving him or Dorothy.Even though they weren't hostile toward each other on the surface, it was evident to Timothy that Jean held a grudge against them in her heart.After dinner, Toby and Jean returned to the hotel together.Meanwhile, only Yvette went back to Jacobs Residence.Jean planned to take the next day off before returning to Henkel.Timothy had already packed his bags and left early in the morning as he didn't want to impose on Jean and Toby. He wanted to create an opportunity for them to spend the day alone.After he left, he gave Jean a call on his phone and encouraged her to take a day off to go sightseeing in Dortsham. He even told her not to worry about work.After exchanging a few words, Jean hung up the call.Then, she got up and began to get ready.It was at this time that a call from Miriam came in.When Jean saw that the call
When Elena saw that Miriam had called Jean, she began to cry out in distress in the hospital, "Mom, you have to stand up for Finn this time! Finn has never been in trouble, yet he got locked up at the police station because of Jean. He was even detained publicly too!"Mom, I'm not just going to stand by and let Jean get away with this!"Miriam regarded Elena indifferently and said in a serious tone, "We can't just take Finn's word and put all the blame on Jean."Miriam was on the hospital bed. She had an indifferent expression on her face.Elena sucked in a deep breath. Looking at Miriam with displeasure, she said coldly, "Fine. I'll get Finn to come over later. He's still catching up on sleep right now. He was locked up at the police station the entire night yesterday and has suffered enough."Miriam let out a few coughs. At this moment, the butler approached Elena and said softly, "Mrs. Jacobs, Mrs. Jacobs Senior needs time to rest, so please be quiet."Upon hearing that, Elena
