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

    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.

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

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 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.

    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.

    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
