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
When Jean heard what Miriam said, her expression changed.She figured that Miriam would want to hold her accountable for what had happened to Finn.However, Jean hadn't expected Miriam to target Toby instead of her.Jean took a deep breath and was about to speak. However, Toby immediately spoke up, "Grandma, I just wanted to teach him a lesson. After all, going into someone's hotel room without permission is a serious crime."Thankfully, he did it to Jean. If he had done it to someone else, the consequences might've been even more dire. With how widespread the internet is these days, it wouldn't be good if the news got out through other sources."If someone with ill intentions were to exploit the situation, all the hotels under Jacobs Group might get boycotted in the future. Although I reported the incident, I didn't make a very big deal out of it, did I? Very few people know about what had happened."Jean was relieved to hear Toby's explanation. At this moment, Miriam's stern ex
Jean felt repulsed by the self-satisfied smile on Finn's face.At this moment, Toby immediately positioned himself between Jean and Finn. He effectively shielded Jean behind him, disallowing Finn from getting any closer to her.When Finn realized what Toby was doing, he smiled and said, "Toby, you don't need to look so tense. If I had wanted to do anything to her, I would've done it last night. I actually have a lot of respect for women like Ms. Michaels."Upon hearing that, Jean sighed inwardly. She recalled how ominous Finn's dark figure had looked in her room last night.It seemed that Finn was intent on bringing up what had happened last night.Jean took a deep breath. A hint of displeasure crossed her expression.When Miriam caught the wolfish expression on Finn's face, her face darkened."You good-for-nothing brat! You've stirred up more trouble again! Hurry up and apologize to Jean," she demanded coldly.Upon hearing Miriam's demand, he did as he was asked calmly. "I'm s
